Aim and objective: The aim of present study is to analyze the arterial supply of SA node. Materials and Methods: Fifty-five human hearts, fixed in the formalin solution were dissected and artery to SA node was traced. Results: Out of 55 cases, SA nodal artery originated from right coronary artery (RCA) in 64%, left circumflex artery (LCX) in 34% and 2% from both. S-shaped SA nodal artery was seen in 2 cases. In most of the specimens (42 out of 55) SA nodal artery formed a ring around superior vena cava and in all the cases, the branches of SA nodal artery supplied to both atria and auricle based on the origin either from RCA or LCX. Conclusion: Variations in arterial supply to SA node will be helpful to interventional cardiac surgeons.","PeriodicalId":121001,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Medical and Allied Health Sciences","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126411941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sedentary habits, urbanization, life style modifications, stress and anxiety contribute to its increasing incidence, not to mention diabetes and hypertension. Routine screening for diabetes fails to detect early MS. Materials and methods: 55 normal glucose tolerant (NGT) subjects, both males & females were selected for the study. Based on modified National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III criteria (Waist circumference-WC 80 cm FM, 90 cm M), they were grouped into - with and without metabolic syndrome (MS). Fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin levels and high density lipoprotein were estimated. Insulin resistance (IR) was calculated by HOMAIR formula. Results : TGL and insulin levels were elevated and HDL levels were decreased in MS group compared to those without MS & this was statistically significant. Among the 55 NGT subjects, 30 people had MS. The prevalence of MS was 43% and the prevalence of IR among NGT was 31% . Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome & IR occur in subjects with normal glucose tolerance also. Hence, screening of vulnerable people for MS should be done to detect potential diabetes mellitus (DM) & coronary artery disease (CAD) in early stages.","PeriodicalId":121001,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Medical and Allied Health Sciences","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124638772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Infections with drug resistant urinary pathogens have limited therapeutic options. Hence this study was conducted to know the occurrence of AmpC β-lactamase production among gram negative bacteria (GNB) causing urinary tract infection (UTI). Materials and Methods : The urine samples submitted to Department of Microbiology from 1st March 2016 to 30th April 2016 were studied. All the samples were plated on sheep blood agar and MacConkey's agar. The isolates were identified and Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done. AmpC β -lactamase and ESBL detection was done as described previously. The results were tabulated. Results: This study was conducted on 900 urine samples. Total 144 (16%) GNB were isolated. E coli was the most common isolate followed by non-fermenting gram negative bacteria (NFGNB). AmpC β -lactamase production was seen in 75 (52.1%) isolates and ESBL production was seen in 60 isolates (41.7%). Total 27 (18.7%) isolates showed multidrug resistant (MDR) phenotypes and 23/27 were AmpC β -lactamase producers. Conclusion: Routine detection of ESBL and AmpC β -lactamase is required to choose appropriate therapy. Judicious use of antibiotics should be done in clinical settings. Imipenem can be used as an empirical antibiotic for complicated urinary tract infection.","PeriodicalId":121001,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Medical and Allied Health Sciences","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130944459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Congenital bifid tongue is an anomaly due to nonfusion of the two lingual swellings. It can occur either as an isolated entity or in association with syndromes like Opitz G syndrome, Oral-Facial-Digital syndrome type I, Klippel Feil anomaly and Larsen syndrome or even as very rare feature in infants born to diabetic mothers. We present a case report of 23 year old female, a second child from a nonconsanguineous marriage with no significant antenatal or postnatal history, diagnosed of SLE. She had secondary amenorrhoea and hypothyroidism, examination revealed reduced secondary sexual characteristics, short stature, orbital hypertelorism and a bifid tongue which was present since birth. Recent studies suggest there is increased risk of autoimmune diseases particularly SLE development via the gene transmitted by X chromosome. It is also found that SLE patients are commonly associated with X chromosome polysomy. This case is unusual as the patient had multiple features suggesting genetic involvement, both SLE and bifid tongue is individually found to have genetic roots and till date there is no single case of SLE with a congenital bifid tongue in literature.","PeriodicalId":121001,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Medical and Allied Health Sciences","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125556761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
