ABSTRACT:
Background: Post operative pancreatitis is a well known complication of biliary tract operations,particularly following supraduodenal exploration of the common bile duct and transduodenal sphincterotomy.Although this event occurs in a relatively small number of patients following these procedures,it is an event that should be avoided whenever possible.It is found that the diagnostic value of amylase measurements may be enhanced if amylase excretion is related to creatinine excretion.
Material and Methods: It is a study conducted on the amylase creatinine clearance ratio in post operative patients for evaluation of pancreatitis..The data collected for our study included patients from Hitech medical college and hospitals, Bhubaneswar,Odisha, India during the period from August 2012 to November 2014.
Results: The study was conducted on sixty cases who were posted for surgery for at Hitech medical college and hospital Bhubaneshwar,Odisha,India. They were divided in to two groups of thirty cases each depending on the surgeries involved.
Conclusion: In this present study we assess the changes in the level of amylase creatinine clearance ratio in the post operative period and its value in the diagnosis of post-operative pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT:
Diabetes is a lifelong problem, and the incidence of diabetic foot complications increases with age and duration of the disease. Ulceration, infection, gangrene, and amputation are significant complications of the disease. Diabetic foot infections are frequently polymicrobial in nature. Hyperglycemia, impaired immunologic responses, neuropathy, and peripheral arterial disease are the major predisposing factors leading to limb-threatening diabetic foot infections.
Objectives of the study: To understand the pathology of diabetic foot and relative distribution of this condition according to age, sex, among diabetic patients. To study the benefit and outcome of the different treatment modalities for diabetic foot
Methods: This study was conducted comprising of 100 patients of diabetic foot in the department of general surgery at Hitech medical college and hospital, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, during the period of Jan 2013 to Jun 2014.
Results: Commonest presenting lesion was ulcers (44%), followed by gangrene (24%) and cellulitis (20%). Commonest site of the lesion was dorsum of the foot (32%), followed by fore foot (28%), and toes (22%). Trivial trauma is the initiating factor in more than half of the cases. More than half of the patients 82% had infection. Most common microorganism grown from culture was staphylococcus aureus (30%), 28(28%) patients were treated with wound debridement, 18(18%) patients underwent major amputation. Prognosis was good in 72(72%) patients. 2(2%) patient died due to septicemia.
Conclusion: Diabetic patients at risk for foot lesions must be educated about risk factors. The multidisciplinary team approach to diabetic foot disorders has been demonstrated as the optimal method to achieve favorable rates of limb salvage in the high-risk diabetic patient. Infection in a diabetic foot is potentially limb-threatening and always requires urgent diagnostic and therapeutic attentions.

Goh SY, Tan BS, Mathew T. Perception of pain for different orthodontic elastomeric separators. J Pharm Biomed Sci. 2015; 05(04):332-337. Available at www.jpbms.info
ABSTRACT:
To evaluate self-perception of pain for elastomeric separators at various time intervals. Ten patients who required fixed orthodontic treatment participated the study with Duraseps™ and Ring separators inserted for two days on the inter-proximal surfaces of upper first permanent molar on both sides. Questionnaire was used before, upon insertion and upon removal of the separator to register the pain perceptions at chewing and rest using a ten point scale and questions about impact of pain on daily routines. The mean scores revealed no significant differences between both separators at chewing or rest during baseline, upon insertion and during removal (p>0.05). The mean pain scores on the second day were higher in chewing than resting for both Duraseps™ (p=0.012) and Ring (p=0.026). ( Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test ). Among daily routines, none of the respondents was affected of leisure activities and work. One respondent was affected in sleep and one had taken analgesic to relieve pain. Four respondents had changed their diet to soft food. Both separators cause no statistically significant difference in pain experience throughout the period of separators placements. Patients should be advised to take soft diet to avoid unnecessary pain during the separation period.

ABSTRACT: Q-angle is considered an important factor in the development of a variety of soft tissue conditions. An abnormal high or low Q-angle has been repeatedly cited as predisposing to anterior knee pain syndrome common among young active individuals.The objective of this study is to assess the normal Q- angle values in asymptomatic young adultsin Abha, Asser region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The methodology adopted for this study, One hundred (100) male subjects, age range (18-25) years participated in the study. The Q-angle of the subjects was measured in the supine lying position with quadriceps relaxed, with knees extended by using a universal goniometer. The results showed the average Mean Q angle and S.D for 100 subjects who participated in the study was 13 ± 2.16. This study also assessed the correlation between Age and Q angle. The study concluded that the normal Q-angle values vary between different ethnic groups. Therefore, it is recommended that Q-angle assessment should be an essential component of the physiotherapy management of knee joint pathology
