Title : MANAGEMENT OF DIFFICULT AIRWAY IN A CASE OF APERT SYNDROME FOR CRANIOSYNOSTOSIS AND SYNDACTYLY RELEASE SURGERY
Abstract : Apert syndrome is an autosomal dominant syndrome with a combination of craniosynostosis, syndactyly and midfacial hypoplasia. The incidence is about 15 in 1,000,000 live births. It may present a number of challenges to the anaesthesiologist such as a difficult airway, difficult IV access, airway hyper-reactivity, temperature dysregulation, high blood loss and venous air embolism. Difficult intubation and ventilation may be observed because of abnormal airways. We report a successful endotracheal intubation with use of video laryngoscope to improve visualization of the airway and fibre optic bronchoscope as a stylet for endotracheal tube at the age of 8 months and endotracheal intubation for the same patient for syndactyly release surgery at the age of 5 years..

Title : TOTAL INTRAVENOUS ANESTHESIA WITH NEUROMONITORING FOR A PAEDIATRIC CHILD WITH TETHERED CORD SYNDROME
Abstract : Intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring is a well-established, safe and sensitive tool for detecting intra-operative injuries during neurosurgeries. Motor evoked potentials (MEP) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP) are monitored throughout the procedure and any significant change from baseline is noted as this may indicate a compromise of the monitored pathway. Anaesthesia especially inhaled agents and muscle relaxants are confounders for motor evoked potential (MEP) monitoring as they have deleterious effects on the amplitude of the waveform signal. Total intravenous anaesthesia with no intraoperative muscle relaxants following intubation has been suggested as the preferred anaesthetic technique for these surgeries. TIVA is an effective means of providing anaesthesia for patients requiring intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring..

Title : Addition of Vastus Medialis Obliquus exercises to Quadriceps exercises in the treatment of Grade I – III – OA knee – A randomized double blinded study
Abstract : Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common chronic disorder having a significant morbidity. Etiopathogenesis of OA is multifactorial. Muscle imbalance is one of the causes of OA knee. Quadriceps muscle weakness is one of the significant predictors is progress of OA. Hence quadriceps muscle strengthening is one of the strongly recommended treatment modalities. Studies have shown that VMO is more selectively affected among the quadriceps muscles. This study is conducted to assess the effect of addition of VMO specific strengthening exercises to quadriceps exercises in the treatment of KL Grade I- III OA knee. 60 subjects with primary OA were randomized into two groups VMO + Quads and VMO alone. Allocation concealment and blinding was done. Subjects were taught exercises daily for one week, and weekly for the next 3 weeks. VAS and WOMAC scores were recorded at the baseline and at 1,3,6 and 12 months. Both groups were comparable at the baseline. Both groups showed a significant improvement in VAS and WOMAC scores at 1 year follow -up compared to the baseline. When inter group comparisons were made, there was no difference in pain scores in any of the follow up. However VMO + quads group showed a significant improvement in WOMAC scores at 1 and 3 months follow up which evened out at the 6 and 12 months follow up. Quadriceps exercises and the addition of VMO exercises to the quads group showed significant improvement in pain and functional outcomes in OA knee. The addition of VMO also shows a significant improvement in functional outcomes at 1 and 3 months of follow up..

Title : EVALUATING CONTRACEPTIVES: KNOWLEDGE, PERCEPTION AND FACTORS INFLUENCING UTILIZATION AMONG UNDERGRADUATES
Abstract : Public Health Issues of teenage pregnancies, Sexually Transmitted Infections and Human Immuno Deficiency are connected to fetal, neonatal, maternal and other unfortunate consequences. Young females may become pregnant and somewhat stop schooling as they take up the role of adolescent parents who are not likely socioeconomically prepared to raise children. This study aims to evaluate contraceptive knowledge, perceptions and factors influencing utilization among undergraduates in Rivers State. A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among 244 university students who were selected using multistage sampling method. A private university was identified for the study. A self- administered questionnaire was distributed to 244 students in the campus but only 224 (91.8%) were returned and used. Data was analyzed with Statistical Package for Social Sciences and data presented in frequency distribution table. It revealed that 157(70%) Strongly agreed that Contraceptives prevents Pregnancy, 220(98%) are strongly aware that Condom is a contraceptive and a similar proportion 199(89%) strongly agree that Oral pill is a contraceptive and Implant is a method of Contraceptive. 179(79.9%) respondents strongly perceive that Contraceptive should not be used by both men and women. Contraceptive methods and usage information dissemination requires paramount attention to achieve safe sexuality among young people in the State..

Title : A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SCALPEL SKIN INCISION VERSUS ELECTROCAUTERY SKIN INCISION IN ABDOMINAL SURGERIES.
Abstract :

Recently, electrosurgery is a safe and effective method for work. Although it is widely used in surgical procedures, mainly for subcutaneous and deep layer dissections its use on skin has been precluded by the fear of complications like delayed wound healing and surgical site infections. The present study was conducted to compare scalpel skin incision versus electrocautery skin incision in abdominal surgeries conducted at tertiary healthcare institute. The present study was a prospective study conducted among 60 patients admitted in all surgical units of D. Y. Patil Medical College and Hospital will be the subject of this study during the period of July 2019 to September 2021. Out of total 60 sample size, 30 cases were randomly taken for Scalpel skin incision and remaining 30 for Electrocautery skin incision. We observed infection among 6.67% subjects in scalpel group and 3.33% subjects in electrocautery group. Delayed wound healing was noted among 20% subjects in first group and 6.67% subjects in cautery group, Dehiscence - partial was noted among 13.33% subejcts in scalpel group and 3.33% subjects in cautery group. Necrosis was noted among 6.67% study subjects in scalpel group and 3.33% study subjects in cautery group. The use of electrocautery for making skin incision in abdominal surgery was associated with less incision time, lesser intraoperative blood loss as compared to scalpel incision. The postoperative pain and wound complications comparatively lesser in electrocautery group as compared to scalpel group.
