It is a surgery of breast in order to increase its size by placing breast implants under breast tissue or chest muscles. Silicon implant is used for both cosmetic and reconstructive reasons. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of primary breast augmentation with silicon implant. Methods: A retrospective study was performed in patients who underwent silicon based breast augmentation through inframammary in submuscular dual plane, between February 2017 and January 2019. Surgical outcomes were evaluated and Patient satisfaction was measured using the BREAST-Q Augmentation Module.Result: This study involved a total of 32 patients (i.e. 64 breasts),19 patients were mongoloid and 12 were non mongoloid. The average age was 32.25 years (range: 20-45 years) between a follow up period of 24 months.The size of breast implant ranged from 240-340 cc. Thirty-one patients were satisfied with the outcome. Seroma was noted in two patients. One of the patients was not satisfied and was noted with capsular contracture within follow-up period. Fifteen patients were used with implant size 280 cc. All patients were able to go to normal daily activity after seventh post-operative day. Conclusion: Breast augmentation with silicon implant have potential to produce more satisfactory and aesthetically pleasing results with low revision rates. Eventhough various techniques are existing in breast augmentation but still universal standard technique is controversial.","PeriodicalId":175886,"journal":{"name":"Annapurna Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116305475","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}

Dental caries may be linked to obesity, while on the other hand, it may be linked to underweight/stunting; both are kinds of malnutrition. This study aims to find dental caries in primary and permanent dentition and nutritional status of children aged between 5-14 years. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among children aged between 5-14 years who attended the Department of Pedodontic from January to April 2022.Dental caries was observed and dmft /DMFT index was calculated. Anthropometric measurements were done following WHO criteria.BMI was calculated using age percentiles charts for boys and girls developed by Center for Chronic Disease Prevention. Results: The total participants were 200 among which 88 (44%) were female and 112 (56%) were males. The dental caries status of all BMI categories were observed, caries status was found to be more in deciduous teeth (mean dmft) than in permanent teeth (mean DMFT).BMI categories showed 39(19.5%) underweight, 122 (61%) healthy weight, 25 (12.5%) at risk of overweight and 14 (7%) were overweight. Conclusions: Dental caries status was higher in primary dentition compared to permanent dentition. Correlation between BMI and dental caries status was not significant.","PeriodicalId":175886,"journal":{"name":"Annapurna Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133179828","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}

Patient was further assessed via radiologically and laboratory. Results were within normal limits. Hence, patient was given 12 sessions of acupuncture along with cupping as the means for pain management. Patient was initially assessed via VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) before the commencement of the treatment session. This case demonstrates that the acupuncture can be an effective treatment approach for the management of Tietze syndrome.","PeriodicalId":175886,"journal":{"name":"Annapurna Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125650803","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}
