Oral cancer awareness and knowledge in adults attending a dental hospital in Northeast India
Conclusion The lack of basic awareness about the risk factors, causes, signs and symptoms of oral cancer in this cross-sectional population of Northeast India is clearly evident in our study. Since, Northeast India accounts for more than 40% of these cases, interactive cancer awareness programs should be taken up by research organizations and government to educate people and make them better understand the serious implications of oral cancer.

Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics and conventional orthodontics. A clinico-comparative trial
Conclusion Alveolar augmentation were used in an effort to enhance and strengthen the periodontium, reasoning that the addition of bone to alveolar housing, ensures root coverage as the dental arch expanded. Controlled clinical and histological studies are needed to understand the biology of tooth movement, the effect on teeth and bone, post-retention stability, and determining the status of the periodontium and roots after treatment.

Study of clinical profile of rotaviral gastroenteritis among patients admitted in a tertiary care hospital
Conclusion This study documents the high incidence of rotaviral diarrhea in our population. It also highlights the fact that rotaviral diarrhea predominantly occurs in younger children, particularly infants. Early health care access and good nutritional status probably accounted for the mild disease in our population. (Source: Apollo Medicine)

False positive localization of primary mesenteric neuroendocrine tumor to the pancreas with Ga-DOTATATE PET–CT changing the surgical management
We report an interesting case of a primary mesenteric neuroendocrine tumor that was misdiagnosed as a nodal secondary from a falsely localized primary pancreatic NET as a result of non-specific physiologic Ga-DOTA uptake in the pancreas. This resulted in an unnecessary distal pancreatectomy. (Source: Apollo Medicine)

Primary PCI in anomalous coronary: Wire first approach
We report a case of Primary PCI in an unstable patient (recurrent VT) with anomalous coronary. Proximal portion of the occluded artery was delineated using non-selective injection of dye with inverted left judkins directed towards the ostium. The coronary guide wire was initially passed into the proximal lumen without guiding support by skilled manipulation over which the left judkins was engaged. The catheter was inverted when it engaged the anomalous ostium and the procedure was completed successfully. (Source: Apollo Medicine)

Successful treatment of two cases of Elizabethkingia meningoseptica septicemia and a review of the literature
Publication date: June 2014 Source:Apollo Medicine, Volume 11, Issue 2 Author(s): Ujjwayini Ray , Soma Dutta , Chandrashish Chakravarty , Indrajit Kumar Tiwari Elizabethkingia meningoseptica is emerging as a cause of hospital acquired infection particularly in immunocompromised adults. The treatment of this bacterium is difficult since it is intrinsically resistant to a number of antibiotics. Here we report two cases of septicemia in patients who were critically ill and were successfully treated with appropriate antibiotics. Cotrimoxazole, quinolones, and rifampicin seem to be drugs effective against E. meningosep...
