The Feasibility of Bilateral Tympanoplasty in Single Sitting in Bilateral Chronic Otitis Media
Abstract: Bilateral tympanoplasty is not a routinely performed surgery by otosurgeons. The reason being is the risk of inducing sensorineural deafness and fear of bilateral ear packing post operatively that may render patient’s total deaf. The aim of the study is to assess the feasibility of bilateral tympanoplasty in single sitting in bilateral chronic otitis media. 50 patients with bilateral inactive mucosal type COM underwent bilateral tympanoplasty in same sitting. The …

A Short-term Evaluation of Limb Reconstruction System as a Primary and Definitive Mode of Management in Fresh Open Fracture in Both Bones of Leg
Abstract: Open fractures require immediate surgical intervention, emphasizing prompt intravenous antibiotic therapy, irrigation, and debridement to minimize infection risks. The Limb Reconstruction System (LRS), which includes Shanz pins, rail rods, and sliding clamps, operates as a single-plane, one-sided rail system. This system provides strong fracture fixation, allows for early weight-bearing, and helps minimize costs. Challenges arise in tibial open fractures due to substantial soft tissue damage and bone loss, often resulting …

Polypropylene Fibres in Cementitious Composites: A Critical Review of Polymer Structure, Processing, Interfacial Behaviour and Performance
Abstract: Polypropylene (PP) fibres are widely used as secondary reinforcement in cementitious composites, yet their performance is governed as much by polymer structure and interfacial chemistry as by dosage. This review synthesises 50 primary sources (2003-2025, concentrated post-2015) to examine how PP molecular structure, fibre-manufacturing history, morphology, surface properties and environmental ageing govern fibre-matrix interaction and multiscale composite performance. Isotacticity, molecular weight, crystallinity and drawing ratio are shown to set the …

Utility of Abbreviated Burn Scoring Index in Predicting Mortality in Burn Patients – Our Experience
Abstract: The prediction of the outcome of patients presenting with severe burns is crucial in guiding clinical judgments. There are multiple models for predicting burn mortality that have been developed over a period of time. Advancements in burn management over the past few decades have led to a remarkable reduction in burn-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Improvements in critical care, fluid resuscitation protocols, infection control measures, nutritional support, early wound excision …

Chitosan-Based Polymer Coatings for Antimicrobial Catheter Surfaces
Abstract: Catheter-associated infections (CAIs) remain a major clinical challenge. Microbial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation on catheter surfaces significantly reduce the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy, resulting in prolonged hospitalization, increased healthcare costs, and higher patient morbidity. Consequently, the development of antimicrobial polymer coatings has emerged as an effective strategy for minimizing catheter-associated infections while improving device performance. Among the various biomaterials investigated, chitosan has attracted considerable attention owing to its intrinsic …

Dissolution Enhancement in Nano/Micro-Sized Dispersions of Piroxicam with the Novel Polymer Soluplus® and Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone
Abstract: Piroxicam, a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID), belongs to the class II of the biopharmaceutical classification system (BCS) and thus exhibits poor bioavailability. In an effort to tackle this issue, we report here the comparative properties of the solid dispersions of piroxicam made from a novel graft copolymer of polyvinyl caprolactam-polyvinyl acetate-polyethylene glycol (Soluplus) and the linear polymer polyvinyl pyrrolidone (K 25), both the dispersions synthesized identically using solvent evaporation method. …

‘Nano- A New Gambit Joins the Ongoing Battle against Cardiovascular Diseases’ II. Opportunities in Cardiovascular Surgery
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE With continuing developments and refinements, cardiovascular surgery has advanced to a vast extent. Minimally invasive surgery has come into vogue in many of the sectors of cardiovascular surgery. But this does not leave surgeons free from the day-to-day challenges which they still continue to face in the field, the most common being the unconventional physiological issues with cardiopulmonary bypass used in majority …

Immunoassay and its Biotechnological Relevance
Abstract: Immunoassays are bioanalytical methods to quantify of the analyte (antigen) depending on its reaction with an antibody. These methods are based on a competitive binding reaction between a fixed amount of labeled analyte and a variable amount of unlabelled sample analyte for a limited amount of binding sites on a highly specific anti-analyte antibody. Applications of immunoassays are diagnosis of diseases, therapeutic drug monitoring, clinical pharmacokinetic and bioequivalence studies in …

Nanocrystalline Silver–Carbon
Abstract: This study is on the properties of nanocrystalline silver products and examines on the internal relation between silver and carbon particles. Nanocrystalline utilizes nanotechnology to release nanocrystalline silver crystals. Nanocrystalline releases 60 times fewer silver cations than silver–carbon interaction in between strongly. Silver impregnated fast releases dressings release minute concentrations of silver which are quickly bounds up by the chloride in the wound exudates. The silver and carbon ions are …

Metabolomics: At a Glance
Abstract: Metabolomics is the branch of science which provides the comprehensive analysis of metabolites in a biological system which in turn is useful as a marker. Metabolomics analysis is useful for ascertaining human health conditions. It will provide an insight to cellular metabolism. Since the metabolome directly reflects physiological states, it can biochemically monitor disease states and assess drug actions, improving the preclinical to clinical translation and focusing on predictability, efficiency …

Role of Alkalinized Topical Heparin and Lignocaine Preparation in Burn Wound
Abstract: Burns can severely damage a patient's physical and mental health. We should consider pain, hospital stays, lost workdays, and financial strain while handling these patients. Burn patients need rapid specialist care to reduce morbidity and death. Heparin is anti-inflammatory, allergic, histaminic, serotonin-blocking, and proteolytic enzyme-blocking. Topical forms have been used to prevent burn extension, limit skin tissue loss, promote quicker healing with fewer contractures, relieve pain, reduce tissue oedema and …
