Abstract
BACKGROUND Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a serious infection of soft tissues. This paper presents experience with pediatric NF and suitability of conservative surgery in its management. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, 70 patients of NF were managed during the study period of eight years. The study was divided into two time periods- first period (June 1998 to June 2001- group 1) and second period (June 2001 to June 2006- group 2). The parameters studied were age, sex, site of involvement and treatment. The treatment included intravenous antibiotics, supportive therapy and either aggressive (group 1) or conservative surgery (group 2). RESULTS Age of presentation ranged from 10 days to 11 years. Male to female ratio was 1.69:1. Back was the commonest site to be involved. Culture reports were polymicrobial in 70% with predominance of Staphylococcus species. Predisposing factors included malnourishment, boils, scratch injury, intravenous cannulation and injections. Conservative surgery had better outcome in terms of hospital stay, complications and cost of treatment. CONCLUSION NF is a serious and disease which requires immediate and all out attention. Early diagnosis, aggressive supportive treatment and conservative surgery improve survival.

Abstract
We ascertained the prevalence of resistant hypertension (RH) among blacks and determined whether RH patients are at greater risk for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) than hypertensives. Method. Data emanated from Metabolic Syndrome Outcome Study (MetSO), a study investigating metabolic syndrome among blacks in the primary-care setting. Sample of 200 patients (mean age = 63 ± 13 years; female = 61%) with a diagnosis of hypertension provided subjective and clinical data. RH was defined using the JNC 7and European Society guidelines. We assessed OSA risk using the Apnea Risk Evaluation System ARES), defining high risk as a total ARES score ≥6. Results. Overall, 26% met criteria for RH and 40% were at high OSA risk. Logistic regression analysis, adjusting for effects of age, gender, and medical co morbidities, showed that patients with RH were nearly 2.5 times more likely to be at high OSA risk, relative to those with hypertension (OR = 2.46, 95% CI: 1.03-5.88, P < .05). Conclusion. Our findings show that the prevalence of RH among blacks fell within the range of RH for the general hypertensive population (3-29%). However, patients with RH were at significantly greater risk of OSA compared to patients with hypertension.

Abstract
Hypertension (HTN) is the most common co-morbidity in the world, and its sequelae, heart failure (HF) is one of most common causes of mortality and morbidity in the world. Current understanding of pathophysiology and management of HTN in HF is mainly based on studies, which have mainly included whites. Among racial groups, African-American adults have the highest rates (44%) of hypertension in the world and are more resistant to treatment. There is an emerging consensus on the significance of racial disparities in the pathophysiology and treatment options of hypertension and heart failure. However, African Americans had been underrepresented in all the trials until the initiation of the A-HEFT trial. Since the recognition of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) as an important medical condition, large clinical trials have shown benefits of OSA treatment among patients with HTN and HF. This paper focuses on the pathophysiology, causes of secondary hypertension, and treatment of hypertension among African-American patients with heart failure. There is increasing need for randomized clinical trials testing innovative treatment options for African-American patients.

Abstract
Milwaukee shoulder syndrome or rapid destructive arthritis of the shoulder; is a particular form of arthritis which affects mainly elderly patients, predominantly women, with limited pain and sometimes neuropathic joints, rotator cuff tear, joint instability, mildly inflammatory or noninflammatory, blood-stained effusion, calcium apatite crystals, and marked joint and bone destruction. This is very uncommon condition and very sparsely reported and so far, there is no case report from India, hence, we report a case of Milwaukee shoulder syndrome from India.

Abstract
The rampant diabetes pandemic over the past few decades has been associated with an increased rise in cardiovascular events and deaths. Risk factors such as obesity, family history of diabetes, decreased physical activity, and aging are among the most common in the development of diabetes. Emerging evidence in the past 10 years has suggested that sleep apnea is a novel risk factor in the development of diabetes. Associations between diabetes and sleep apnea are supported by both epidemiologic and clinical sleep apnea studies. In this report, we discuss epidemiologic and clinical evidence suggesting that sleep apnea is involved in the pathogenesis of altered glucose metabolism. In light of current evidence, sleep apnea treatment should be incorporated into existing pharmacotherapeutic regimens for optimal management of diabetes among diabetic patients with sleep apnea to reduce associated cardiovascular risk. Suggestions to improve practice guidelines in the management of diabetic patients with sleep apnea are provided.

Abstract
Intussusception is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in infants and children. This condition is frequent in children and presents with the classic triad of cramping abdominal pain, bloody diarrhoea and a palpable tender mass. Small bowel intussusceptions are much less common, with jejuno-ileal and duodeno-jejunal intussusceptions being the rarest types of all. Multiple simultaneous intussusception is a peculiar variety of intussusception. The authors report the simultaneous occurrence of jejuno-jejunal and ileo-ileal intussusception in a patient. As this is an extremely uncommon entity, it is being reported with a brief review of the relevant literature.

Abstract
Obstetric fistula is the most devastating form of maternal morbidity. It is an opening in the wall of vagina connecting to bladder or to rectum due to prolonged obstructed labour without timely medical assistance. A few research studies carried out in India and recently conducted DLHS-3 survey (2007-08) has information on obstetric fistula that gives scope for further research. This paper examines prevalence of obstetric fistula and its correlates using DLHS-3 data for selected states in India. Ever experience of obstetric fistula among women in these states ranges from 0.3 percent to 3.4 percent, being highest in Uttarakhand. Women living in rural areas have higher chance of obstetric fistula. Age and physical maturity is important factor in the occurrence of fistula and it is found that those women who were below 18 years at the time of their first birth have higher risk of fistula in comparison to those who had child at 18 or above years. In addition to this, those having problems at the time of delivery are around two times more likely to have fistula. Auxulary Nurse Midwife can be key players in the early detection and referral of cephalo-pelvic disproportion, malpresentation and prolonged, obstructed labour cases.

Abstract
AIMS To report the radiation planning dosimetric aspects and clinical outcomes of patients with implanted cardiac pacemakers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between 2005 and 2009, eight patients with in situ cardiac pacemakers of varied primary site were treated at our hospital. All patients underwent computed tomography-based treatment planning. The target volumes, organs at risk and pacemaker device were all contoured. A treatment plan optimally covering the target area and maximally sparing the pacemaker was generated. All patients were evaluated at baseline, during radiotherapy and after radiotherapy conclusion by a cardiologist as well as pacemaker company personnel. RESULTS The median age at presentation was 67 (range 53-77) years. There were three men with head and neck primaries, two men with lung primaries and three women with breast primaries. The prescribed dose ranged from 45 to 70 Gy in 25-35 fractions with a daily dose of 1.8-2.0 Gy. Four patients had the pacemaker implanted on the same side as the radiotherapy target. The dose ranges for the minimum, mean and maximum doses to the pacemaker were 0.06-2.0, 0.07-20.6 and 0.14-60.0 Gy, respectively. Radiation therapy was safely delivered in all patients without any untoward effects. At 5 months of median follow-up, all patients were well with no malfunction of the pacemaker. CONCLUSION A series of eight patients with in situ pacemakers treated with radiotherapy is reported. Radiotherapy can be safely delivered in patients with implanted cardiac pacemakers. However, it mandates a cautious approach in planning and treatment delivery to ensure the least possible dose to the pacemaker. Close liaison with the cardiologist and a pacemaker clinic before, during and after the course of treatment is essential to ensure patient safety.

Abstract
The polyphagous insect Sitophilus oryzae L. (Coleoptera:Curculionidae) has a tremendous adaptability in feeding behaviour, making it a serious invasive pest of stored cereals. The present study identifies the metabolite composition of Sitophilus oryzae (S. oryzae) using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Assignment of 1D-proton by NMR, 1H-1H COSY, 2D-TOCSY 1H-1H, had been done. Amongst the various biochemically important metabolites isoleucine, valine, leucine, beta-hydroxybutyrate, lysine, glutamate, glutamine, proline, lactate, alanine, di-methylamine, alpha-glucose, beta-glucose, choline, glycerophosphorylcholine and tyrosine are present in S. oryzae. In wheat-fed S. oryzae, the presence of threonine and the absence of lactate is observed. In rice-fed S. oryzae, however, the presence of lactate and the absence of threonine were observed. Barley-fed S. oryzae shows presence of both tyrosine and lactate. It is concluded that the pest S. oryzae has adaptability on different stored cereals and grains, depicting the presence of earlier reported metabolites. The present study aims to identify the key metabolic components and associated enzymes in Sitophilus oryzae fed on different cereals.
