However, a wide range (0.8%–26%) of postoperative complications occur following MRM. Lacunae exist in the existing extensive medical literature regarding any correlation between preoperative staging and demographic profile of such patients with the incidence of these complications, which might aid in adapting a preventive approach accordingly. Aim: The aim of this work was to study the association of preoperative tumor size, nodal status, and clinical profile (age, diabetes mellitus, hypertension) of breast cancer patients with the postoperative complications (seroma formation, surgical site infection, wound dehiscence, flap necrosis, paresthesia, and lymphedema). Methods: All patients diagnosed with carcinoma breast and undergoing MRM. a. Settings and Design: This was a prospective observational study at a tertiary care hospital. b. Duration: Two years. c. Statistical Analysis Used: Data were recorded in an Excel datasheet and statistically analyzed by using the SPSS version 22.0. Results: A significant positive association was established between seroma formation, wound dehiscence with increasing age (P = 0.006), tumor staging (P = 0.003), and nodal staging (P = 0.022). However, no significant correlation could be established between the other parameters that were studied. Conclusion: Meticulous surgical techniques and postoperative care should be used to reduce Seroma formation and wound dehiscence in patients with advanced age, higher tumor, and nodal staging.","PeriodicalId":15571,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences","volume":"235 1","pages":"11 - 16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73177147","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}

Mentorship has been shown to be essential for the attainment of skills as well as psychological development. The mentor-mentee relationship is a continuous process to dissolve the boundaries, and hence, e-mentoring could be one of the ways in which both the students and teachers connect. Material and Methods: A mentorship program called e-anubandh was designed and implemented. Six hundred medical undergraduate students were grouped with 47 faculty and 94 senior students. An online session was conducted in groups. At the end of the mentorship program, the feedback and perception of the mentors and mentees were taken using both open-ended as well as closed-ended validated questionnaires. Results: A total of 308 (out of 438 who participated) students, 94 senior mentors and 47 faculty mentors, completed the feedback questionnaire. The majority considered the initiative taken by the institute worth appreciating. The mentees and mentors found the program useful in building student–teacher relationships. They opined that such programs should be undertaken more frequently and for longer durations. Conclusion: The e-anubandh mentorship program helped in bridging the gap between the students and teachers created in the COVID era. Both the mentors and mentees were extremely satisfied with this program and such intervention appears to be a promising strategy in the COVID period.","PeriodicalId":15571,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences","volume":"32 1","pages":"74 - 80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77930493","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}

Through this article, an attempt was tried to improve the knowledge regarding surgical management which improves the existence expectancy of patients suffering from OSMF. Materials and Methods: The study included 15 patients in the age group of 15 to 60 years with stage II, III and IVa of oral submucous fibrosis all of which underwent operation under general anesthesia to facilitate an increase in their mouth opening by excision of fibrous bands and placement of collagen membrane by the same operator. After surgery, all were given similar prescriptions for analgesics, antibiotics, and postoperative instructions. All patients were reviewed at 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week till 6th months postoperatively. Results: In this study, the mean age of occurrence of OSMF was 2nd to 3rd decade of life with males (86.6%) more commonly affected. The preoperative mouth opening was a mean value of 16.4 mm in all patients. At the first week postoperatively, a mean mouth opening of 24.96 mm was achieved which gradually increased to a mean mouth opening of 28.16 mm at the 2nd month with the help of rigorous physiotherapy. There was a slight gradual increase of mean mouth opening at consecutive months at 29.1 mm at the follow-up period of 6th months. Conclusion: In our study, we noticed that surgical excision of fibrous bands and placement of collagen membrane provided us with satisfactory results, there was a significant increase in the mouth opening of the patients till the last follow-up month as compared to the preoperative mouth opening.

Several natural conditions place roots at risk of resorption without any pathology. To date, information regarding root resorption in sagittal malocclusions is deplete in the literature. Aims: To measure and associate the root-crown ratio of maxillary incisors in different malocclusions. Methods: About 85 patients were allocated to three groups, Skeletal and Angle's Class I, Class II and Class III. Panoramic radiographs and periapical radiographs for maxillary incisors (340 teeth) using paralleling technique were taken and traced. Length of the root and crown were assessed and root-crown ratios were calculated. Results: The root-crown ratio was significantly lower in Skeletal and Angle's Class III group (P < 0.05) compared to Classes I and II groups. Gender predilection was found to be absent. Conclusion: Root resorption of maxillary incisors was observed in Skeletal and Angle's Class III patients. Maxillary central incisors were observed to have decreased root-crown ratios compared to maxillary lateral incisors irrespective of malocclusion.","PeriodicalId":15571,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences","volume":"9 1","pages":"6 - 10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84311651","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}

The prevalence, clinical features, and causative organisms are changing leading to recurrent, recalcitrant, and chronic dermatophytosis. The misuse of potent topical steroids is further aggravating the problem. The risk factors, clinical features, and mycological nature of recurrent dermatophytosis are sparsely documented. Objectives: To know the epidemiological and clinical features, and to identify the organisms causing recurrent dermatophytosis. Materials and Methods: Patients attending to our OPD with dermatophytic infections from December 2017 to June 2019 were scrutinized and those, who had recurrence within 6 weeks after treating with 4 weeks of systemic antifungal treatment were recruited into our study. Demographic data and clinical patterns were documented after informed consent. KOH smears were taken, and the scrapings were cultured in Sabouraud's dextrose agar with 0.05% chloramphenicol and 0.5% cycloheximide. Results: Ninety-six patients were recruited to the study after following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The most common age group was 21–30 years, and males were slightly more. A total of 66.7% (64/96) had used topical corticosteroids or steroid combinations. KOH positivity was seen in 67.7%, and the culture was positive in 58.3% of cases. The most common organism isolated in culture was the Trichophyton rubrum (27.1%), followed by Trichophyton mentagrophytes (22.9%). Recurrences were early in those who used topical potent corticosteroids like clobetasol. Limitation: Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) levels of the antifungal drugs were not done to know the relation between MIC levels and recurrence. Conclusion: Recurrent dermatophytosis is increasing and presenting with modified clinical patterns. Topical steroid use, mainly with potent clobetasol or its combinations, seems to be the main culprit for recurrences.","PeriodicalId":15571,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences","volume":"18 1","pages":"243 - 248"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83274225","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}
