The peculiar anatomy, muscular attachment, and thickness of cortical plate which is interposed between the thicker tooth‑bearing mandibular body and the thinner ascending ramus in addition to the presence of the third molar makes the angle region of the mandible irreplaceable. Innumerable treatment modalities have been proposed for mandibular angle fractures; although the ideal modality remains controversial. The choice of fixation in maxillofacial skeleton should be reformed based on the fracture patterns, displacement, stability of segments, and satisfactory postoperative function. However, due to the varied fracture patterns, there arises a need for variation in fixation devices and their localization. We put forth a case of a mandibular angle fracture displaying a unique fracture pattern and its management along with a brief review and update pertaining to the way mandibular angle fractures should be managed

The use of preservatives in inhibiting and retarding the growth of microorganism responsible for the spoilage or decay of
food substance is of great interest. The anti-microbial activities of plant extracts like pawpaw form the basis for many
applications, including raw and processed food preservation, pharmaceuticals, alternative medicines and natural
therapies. Therefore, this work was aimed at evaluating the preservative effect of pawpaw (carica papaya) seed extract
on some selected food materials. T-solo variety of pawpaw was obtained from Akintola Farm, Kinnira, Ogbomoso and
the seeds were fermented. Extracts from the fermented seeds were obtained using petroleum ether, n-hexane and hot
aqueous solvents. Antioxidative study was carried out on the crude extracts using 1,1- diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazil radical
(DPPH) assay. Total Viable Bacteria (TVB) and Total Fungi Count (TFC) of akara, fish, soymilk and dairy milk were
carried out. The DPPH were 42.14, 33.28, 18.85% for petroleum ether, n-hexane and hot aqueous extracts, respectively.
The TVB and TFC of akara, fish, soymilk and dairy milk samples ranged (1.00 -1.42 x104, 0.60-1.57 x102; 1.30-
2.28x104, 1.50-2.22x102; 1.43-2.37x104, 0.80-2.86 x102 cfu/g and 1.20-2.60 x 104, 1.05 - 1.67 x 102 cfu/g), respectively.

Background: Approximately 1–2% of the adult population in developed countries has Heart Failure, with the prevalence rising to ≥10% among persons 70 years or more. Most of the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for the cardiovascular effects of thyroid hormone have been clarified. Thyroid hormones produce changes in cardiac inotropism and chronotropism more rapidly than would be expected from regulation of gene expression. Hypothyroidism causes cardiac atrophy, due to decreased αMHC expression and increased β MHC expression. Moreover, hypothyroidism also leads to chamber dilatation and impaired myocardial blood flow [1]. Material and Methods: 200 patients between age group of 45 to 75 yrs, presented in medical emergency and medical outdoor of the institution with heart failure were studied. Comparison of Thyroid Profile and LVIDd (Left Ventricular Internal Diameter at Diastole) was done at Baseline, 3 months and 6 months. Results: After comparing the thyroid profile and 2DEchocardiography findings in subclinical hypothyroidism of treated group after 6 months, there was increase in TSH and fall in FT4 (p 0.001) with a significant improvement in LVIDd. Conclusion: There was improvement in EF, a decrease in LVIDd, increase in Mitral E velocity, decrease in Mitral A velocity and increase in E/A ratio in cases as compared to controls with treatment

The incidence of breast cancer is increasing throughout the world as well as in India. Many risk factors and prognostic
factors of breast cancer have been identified but the associations between mast cell infiltration and the clinical features of
breast cancer remain unclear. The aim of the study was to estimate the mast cells number in malignant tumors and
axillary lymph node and to find out any correlation between the number of mast cells and hormone receptor status. An
institution based descriptive study was done in a tertiary care hospital. Total 44 specimens of post operative breast tissue
with malignant breast lesion & dissected axillary lymph nodes were taken. Counting of mast cells was done in Toluidine
blue stain. Immunohistochemical staining was done for ER, PR & HER2/neu using immunostaining kit. It was observed
that when the tumor grade increases the number of must cell decreased per high power field. The mast cell count was
significantly higher in cases of ER positive and PR positive breast cancers than that of the ER negative and PR negative
respectively but there was no significant relation between mast cell count of HER2/neu. Mean mast cell count of triple
negative cases was significantly low. This study indicated that the number of mast cells in breast cancer was inversely
correlated with the grade of this tumor and higher mast cell count was related to good prognosis.

Background: With increasing rate of institutional deliveries, PPIUCD serves as an effective method of contraception that can be easily availed to the parturient at the health care facility. Objective: The present study evaluates the awareness and acceptance rates of PPIUCD among parturient at the time of delivery in both vaginal delivery and caesarean section. The continuation rate was also assessed at the first postpartum visit that is at 6 weeks. Method: This prospective interventional study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kamla Raja Hospital, Gwalior for a period of one year from Nov 2014 to Nov 2015. 100 cases of normal vaginal delivery and 100 cases of lower segment caesarean section were randomly selected and CuT 380A was inserted after obtaining their written consent. Result: Mean age of the study sample was 27.5 years ± 3.5years. The acceptance rate was higher when the counselling was done in early labor (61.5%). It was higher in primigravida (53%) than multigravida (47%). Its long term effect is the commonest reason for accepting this method. Most common complication that resulted in removal of PPIUCD was excessive bleeding per vaginum in vaginal delivery and pain in lower abdomen in caesarean section. Spontaneous expulsion of the device was noted in 3% of vaginal insertions and none in the cesarean insertion. Conclusion: PPIUCD is an excellent long term contraceptive method to limit or space child births offered to a woman in a setting when she is highly motivated and genuinely needs it.

Background: Patients with acute bronchiolitis are more prone to develop heart failure even in those without underlying cardiac diseases. Clinical assessment of heart failure in such subjects is a challenge. Our objective was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of myocardial performance index and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) as predictors of Heart failure during acute bronchiolitis and correlate them to clinical manifestation. Method: 50 subjects with acute bronchiolitis were enrolled in the study over one year duration; 30 healthy subjects of matched age and gender as control group. Heart failure was identified according to clinical, cardiomegaly in X ray and modified ROS classification. We assess the association between clinical manifestations, echocardiographic findings and serum BNP in subjects with bronchiolitis with and without heart failure. Results: 30% of subjects with bronchiolitis developed heart failure. There is significant decreased tricuspid and mitral annular plane systolic excursion and significant increase in pulmonary artery systolic pressure, myocardial performance index (MPI) and BNP during acute bronchiolitis especially among those who developed heart failure. Regression analysis revealed that MPI and BNP are independent predictors of heart failure during acute bronchiolitis. Conclusion: MPI is a valuable echocardiographic marker for early detection of heart failure while BNP is a useful circulating biomarker that can be used to differentiate respiratory distress due to heart failure from pulmonary diseases. It can also be used to estimate the prognosis, as well as to predict cardiac complication in infants presented with acute bronchiolitis

Background: Background: Vitamin B12 (B12) deficiency leads to a wide spectrum of disorders affecting all age groups. However, reports on B12 status in vegetarian adults in India are limited. Hence, we determined the prevalence of B12 in the northern Indian vegetarian population. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in an urban north Indian population amongst 200 apparently adults distributed into 3 age groups: <20, 21-40 and >40 years. Plasma concentrations of B12 were analyzed. Results: The overall prevalence of B12 deficiency was 45%. B12 deficiency was higher in vegetarians (35.5%) compared to those consuming non vegetarian diet (9.5%). Conclusions: These results indicate a higher prevalence of B12 deficiency in apparently healthy vegetarian adults in a north Indian population
