1. Abstract Since the emergence of SARS Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, in 2019, it has caused over 300 million cases and 5.5 million deaths [1]. SARS-CoV-2is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus having approximately 30,000 nucleotides. The initial virus spread globally was characterized by a D614G change in the spike (S) protein [2] Within a year,

1. Abstract 1.1. Background and objective: Oral and maxillofacial surgery encompasses a wide spectrum of conditions affecting the oral cavity and associated structures. A lot of our work is done in the minor operative set-ups and mostly under local anesthesia. Dealing with conscious patients undergoing surgical procedures on a daily basis is an acquired skill

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: The emerging COVID-19 is a devastating life-threatening disease, which is characterized by high morbidity. More than 40 million people have been affected globally with case fatality rate ranging between 5 – 10%. Attitude and behavior play a major role in preventing the emerging and re-emerging diseases. Our study aimed at assessing

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Giant abdominal mass has not been a common presentation in the era of advanced radiological diagnostic modalities especially in socio-educationally well developed societies. In developing nations like India, patients with Giant abdominal masses do present, requiring surgical consultation/interventions. Majority of the times these are cystic masses, but solid giant abdominal masses

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: To demonstrate the interrelation between computed tomography (CT) characteristics and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma manifested as subsolid nodule. 1.2. Method: A total of 202 patients with appearance as subsolid nodules on CT images and pathologically confirmed as early-stage lung adenocarcinoma were enrolled in this

1. Abstract 1.1. Purpose: To analyse local regional recurrence pattern and site of thoracic esophageal carcinoma and discuss the relationship between lymph node status before operation and the lymph nodes recurrent site so as to provide evidence for target setting of radiotherapy. 1.2.

1. Abstract 1.1 Background: Visceral adiposity index is a new type of indicator that accurately reflects distribution and function of visceral fat. The relation between VAI and new-onset hyperuricemia remains largely understudied. 1.2. Purpose: This study sought to further investigate the prospective association between VAI and the risk of hyperuricemia by examining possible effect modifies

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Hyponatremia in cirrhosis is currently defined as a serum sodium level of less than 130 meq/L. Recent studies have reported that lower serum sodium levels are associated with increased complications and mortality leading to incorporation of sodium in the Model For End Stage Liver Disease. Therefore, we undertook this study in
