Abstract:- Background & objectives: It is aimed to evaluate the effect of intraarticular levobupivacaine and sufentanil on postoperative pain and tramadol consumption in arthroscopic knee surgeries. Methods: The patients were and divided into three groups randomly. 10 mg levobupivacaine to Group I, 10 mg levobupivacaine with 10 mcg sufentanil to Group II and saline to Group III in equal volumes was applied before tournement deflation intraarticularly. VAS, sedation scores, tramadol consumption at 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours, side effects and additional analgesic requirements reported. Results: Demographics, sedation scores, additional analgesic need and haemodynamics weren't statistically different (p>0,05). VAS scores of rest and movement were statistically significant between Group I -III and Group II-III at 1, 2, 3, 6, 12.and 24 hours (p<0,05). Group I and II VAS scores were approximate but not statistically significant at rest (p>0,05) 1. and 2. hours VAS scores at movement was statistically significant (p<0,05). Postoperative tramadol consumption of Group I postoperative 1,2,3 and 6 hours results were lower than Group III(p<0,05). There was no statistically significance between all of the groups at postoperative 12 and 24 hours (p>0,05). Interpretation & Conclusions: It's thought that intraarticular levobupivacaine and sufentanil + levobupivacaine provided effective postoperative analgesia in arthroscopic knee surgery however sufentanil addition to levobupivacaine provided better pain control at early postoperative hours and reduce additional analgesic consumption.

Abstract:- Substituting bone or joint by a strong biomaterial is quite common. There is a never ending need for bone biomaterials. Recently, focus has shifted to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Biomaterials science has a major role to play in this field. The scaffolds selected for tissue engineering has to have its own prerequisites. Engineering these materials to suit bone biology has resulted in an entire plethora of materials and their novel modifications. This paper attempts to review the trends in bone biomaterials.

Abstract:- The Astringent taste is important for the sensory quality of Traditional medicines. Perception thresholds of two important Kashaya rasa based compounds – as Kulath and Kachanar, were determined by using different methods of fingerprinting analysis. In planner chromatography elution follows as Ketones and aldehydes approximately in the middle, alcohols behind them and the acids still at the starting point. Well-known drugs having the sequence of separation follows the polarity of the compounds [1] and the taste of separated bands were confirmed by taste-threshold methods. Bitter rasa dominant zone was selected for further TLC fingerprinting and that was used as BRM in further analysis. In present study attempt was made to modulate sample preparation stage using chromatographic fingerprinting for generation of rasa fraction for Kulath and Kachanar. Thus planner chromatography technique seems very important and useful when BRM hypothesis was adjunct to method that explains the categorization acco.to traditional medicine classification method. i.e. Rasa domain classification method.

Abstract:- Purpose- To assess the awareness of glaucoma among the urban population of Bagalkot district in north Karnataka,India.
Material and Methods:- A total of 100 subjects, >20 yrs old, among the urban population of Vidyagiri and Navanagar areas in Bagalkot, in North Karnataka were enrolled into the study. The responses of the subjects (N=100) who completed a structured questionnaire regarding the awareness (heard of glaucoma) and knowledge (understanding glaucoma) of glaucoma, formed the basis of this study.
Results:- Awareness of glaucoma was (n=35, 35 %) was good in Vidyagiri and Navanagar areas of Bagalkot. No significant difference was noted between the different age-groups (p=0.06687) and between the males and females (p=0.392).Awareness of glaucoma was significantly higher in literates (p= 0.0042) and in higher socioeconomic group (p=0.005154).A total of 14 subjects (n=14, 40 %) knew that the visual loss due to glaucoma was permanent. The main source of awareness of glaucoma in this population was TV/Magazines/media 17(48.57%), Ophthalmologist 7 (20.38%),family members and friends 5(14.28%),Doctor 4(11.42%), and Optician-1(1.28%),followed by eye camp 1(1.28%). Conclusion:- Awareness of glaucoma was comparatively higher among the urban population of Vidyagiri and Navanagar areas of Bagalkot District, in North Karnataka. Compared to the previous studies the awareness is better, due to increased exposure to Mass Medias like Television, Radio Magazines and so on. Improvement in the health care services over the years, do contribute to the increased awareness about glaucoma. Community based health education programmes go a long way in increasing the level of awareness and knowledge about glaucoma.

Abstract:-Background: The omohyoid muscle is one of the infrahyoid muscles of the neck. It has superior and inferior bellies and an intermediate tendon. Variations in the omohyoid muscle are quite rare. Main observations: We report a case where the superior belly of the omohyoid muscle was absent. Its inferior belly originated from the upper border of scapula near suprascapular notch and passed across the posterior triangle, behind the sternocleidomastoid muscle. The muscle then blended with the fascia of the sternocleidomastoid muscle on its posterior surface. It was supplied by the ansa cervicalis. Due to the absence of the superior belly, division of the anterior triangle of the neck was incomplete. Conclusions: The omohyoid is important in radical neck dissections because it is the surgical landmark for level III and IV lymph node metastases. Thus, knowledge of anomalies of this muscle is important to minimize the complications during the surgical procedures of the cervical region.
