Background: Coronary artery disease is currently the most common, non-communicable disease in India. One of the gravest complications of CAD is ST-elevation myocardial infarction i.e. myocardial cell necrosis due to significant and sustained ischaemia. Despite advances in diagnosis and management, STEMI is still a major public health problem both in developed as well as in developing parts of the world.

We report a case of peripheral facial nerve palsy with uncontrolled hypertension. There are few case reports in literature which shows association between facial nerve palsy and malignant hypertension especially in adults.

Purpose: To determine the relationship of collapsibility of the jugular vein as a predictor of fluid response in patients during the transoperative period at the Naval Medical Center. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 75 patients who underwent surgery at the Naval Medical Center. The internal jugular vein distensibility was measured by ultrasonography. Correlations, logistic regression analysis, ANOVA or Kruskall-Wallis and chi-square tests were used to determine differences (P ≤ 0.05) between initial compliance and final compliance during the transoperative period.

This study explores the question of the reintegration of migrants into the land game of their native region, and therefore attempts to highlight the social issues linked to their reintegration. The recent political crisis of 2010 in Ivory Coast has indeed affected migratory flows in some regions of the country. We have therefore seen the massive return of some populations to their regions of origin. The objective of this study is to understand the strategies developed by resident populations and migrants in the latter's quest to integrate the land arena of their families of origin.

Background: neck pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders that affect quality of life. According to a lot of studies people which complain of non-specific neck pain reporting upper limb disabilities including hands. Objective: the main objective of the study was to find the correlation between non-specific neck pain and hand function. Methodology: 60 participants suffered from non-specific neck pain from both gender and 30 normal participants as a control group their ages ranged from 18 to 40 years old and their body mass index less than 30.

Introduction: Main goal of nerve blockade is to provide analgesia that will outlast duration of pain as long as possible. Deficiency of currently available local aneasthetics is relatively short duration of action. The aim of this study was to compare sensory and motor blockade after perineural application of liposomal bupivacaine, ropivacaine or lidocaine with addition of dexamethasone during peripheral nerve blockade in Wistar rats. Materials and methods: A rat sciatic nerve block model was used.

Background: Biosafety conditions in the surgical field are a current and constantly evolving problem. The risks and accidents that occur in hospitals in the presence of protection measures reveal an inadequate application of biosafety regulations by the nursing personnel. Based on this observation, the following research question was formulated: What is the level of application of biosecurity measures for the management of body fluids of patients during the perioperative period by the nursing staff of the operating room service at the Naval Medical Center?.

Antecedentes: Actualmente el uso de la mnemotecnia FAST HUGS BID ha demostrado que permite abordar al paciente en estado crítico de una manera integral y rápida enfocándose en intervenciones que mejoran la seguridad de atención en este tipo de pacientes, permitiendo no dejar a un lado u olvidar actividades en su cuidado que afecten de forma directa en su atención y con esto disminuir el riesgo de complicaciones o mortalidad.

Le psoriasis est une maladie auto-immune dont la physiopathologie est mal élucidée. Il s’agit d’une dermatose érythémato squameuse chronique fréquente le plus souvent bénigne. Néanmoins, La forme pustuleuse généralisée reste rare mais grave et peut engager le pronostic vital. L’association à une hypocalcémie est peu fréquente. Cette dernière peut être un facteur déclenchant les poussées cutanées généralisées.

Congenital anomaly of a great vessel is rare. The presence of Duplicated Inferior vena cava has an incidence of 0.3-3%. Kidney transplantation is one of the mainstay treatment of chronic kidney disease. We herein report a left laparoscopic nephrectomy performed in a donor with duplicated inferior vena cava. Preoperative planning with CT Angiography is a must to accurately delineate anatomy. Duplicated inferior vena cava was clipped and divided just below the confluence with renal vein. The donor made an uneventful recovery.
