However, 8%–40% of these anastomoses become narrowed again and the redo operation is technically challenging. There are only a few reports which have examined the results of these revision procedures and we therefore decided to analyse our experience of this unusual operation. Aim: To study the role of redo-hepaticojejunostomy in the management of bilio-enteric anastomotic strictures. Materials and Methods: Between January 2010 and January 2016, we performed 23 redo-hepaticojejunostomies for the strictures following an initial hepaticojejunostomy which was done for benign indications in our department and followed them for a minimum of 2 years with clinical, biochemical and radiological tests. Results: There were 7 males and 16 were females who had a median age of 37 years (range 15–63 years). The median interval between the index operation and the stricture recurrence was 10 months. Thirteen (57%) patients underwent initial surgical revision and 10 had the procedure following unsuccessful percutaneous intervention. The median length of hospital stay was 10 days and 21 (91%) only had minor complications. There was no operative mortality. On follow-up of all 23 patients after 2–8 years, six (26%) patients developed stricture recurrence, of whom three were managed with percutaneous dilatation and three required a second revisional surgery. Seventeen patients are symptom-free. Conclusion: Redo RYHJ is a feasible option for strictures following an initial biliary enteric anastomosis with no surgical mortality and three-quarters of the patients being rendered symptom-free.","PeriodicalId":72736,"journal":{"name":"Current medicine research and practice","volume":"22 1","pages":"162 - 166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85275577","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}

Progressive failure of the immune system predisposes an individual to many life-threatening opportunistic infections and malignancies. As compared to the general population, the incidence of anal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC) is substantially higher in HIV-infected individuals. Majority of ASCC are related to infections caused by high-risk strains of human papillomavirus (HPV). Aims: We conducted an observational study on HIV-positive men who had a history of homosexual contact. The aim of this study was to assess the spectrum of cytological abnormalities on anal smear cytology in individuals with HIV infection, and also estimate the prevalence of anal infection with high-risk HPV strains. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 56 individuals for this pilot study. This study involved the collection of specimens from the anal canal of the patients by using cytobrush in liquid-based cytology (LBC) vial. The sample was simultaneously tested for cytological abnormalities by LBC (Sure Path, BD) and for 13 high-risk strains by Hybrid Capture II technique (Qiagen) based on antibody capture and chemiluminescent signal detection. Anal smear cytology was reported as per guidelines of The Bethesda System of reporting anal cytology, 2014. Results: The prevalence of high-risk HPV infection was seen in 41.07% of individuals and low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance were seen in 12.5% and 16.07% individuals, respectively. Cytology was useful in 7% of cases to diagnose opportunistic infections. The latter is a field yet to be tapped. Conclusion: We would recommend LBC in HIV-positive patients, for screening of cytological abnormalities and HPV status. This would also give an opportunity to screen for opportunistic infections, which have otherwise not been diagnosed.","PeriodicalId":72736,"journal":{"name":"Current medicine research and practice","volume":"2 1","pages":"152 - 156"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85085407","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 aim of this study was to develop a liquid formulation of lamotrigine to fulfil the unmet needs of children and geriatric epileptic patients. Materials and Methods: Suspension formulation was prepared using Carbopol 974P as a suspending agent. It was evaluated for its sedimentation and re-dispersibility, solubility, morphology, particle-size distribution, rheological properties, pH measurement, uniformity of dosage unit, in vitro drug release behaviour and results were compared with marketed formulation Lamictal tablets. Results: The release profile of marketed product Lamictal tablets and developed lamotrigine oral suspension shows a complete release profile throughout physiological pH in all three media (0.1N hydrochloric acid, 4.5 pH acetate buffer and 6.8 pH phosphate buffer) and shows similar release as a marketed product. Microscopic observation clearly indicates the stability of the suspension (no aggregation of suspended particles) during the storage period of 12 months. The content uniformity of suspension was found well within the specified limits. Conclusion: Lamotrigine oral suspension was developed successfully and found a suitable alternative for a commercially available tablet for the treatment of epilepsy in children and geriatric patients.","PeriodicalId":72736,"journal":{"name":"Current medicine research and practice","volume":"13 1","pages":"157 - 161"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75446725","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}

Biomedical devices such as intraoral biosensors that are involved in continuous healthcare monitoring have garnered the attention of several researchers across the world. These devices function as an interconnecting link between the human systems and the outer environment. Recently, chair-side monitoring and early diagnostic tests are highly valuable for periodic monitoring and treatment planning for patients. These devices use biological reactions to detect and measure a particular chemical compound substance and then send an electronic signal. The chief advantages of these ubiquitous devices are high sensitivity and fast response. Intraoral biosensors integrate various materials and devices on one unique chip, hence functioning as the latest analytical and diagnostic tool of dentistry. This review highlights the basic concepts, principles and role of intraoral biosensors in the diagnosis of caries, periodontitis, oral cancer and dental fluorosis.","PeriodicalId":72736,"journal":{"name":"Current medicine research and practice","volume":"24 1","pages":"118 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86188582","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}
