Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular tumor with an incidence of 1 16,000 to 18,000 live birth and represents 11% of cancer that develop in the first year of life. Retinoblastoma may be unilateral (60%) or bilateral (40%). Bilateral cases always heritable and median age of diagnosis is 1 year. Unilateral cases are mostly non heritable but 15% can be heritable and median age of presentation is 2 years. All children with heritable form carry mutation in RB1 gene. Though most frequent symptoms during diagnosis are leucocoria and strabismus, can present as most severe form in under developed countries. Diagnosis is made by fundus examination. Ultrasonography and imaging (CT, MRI) contribute both in diagnosis and assessment of extension of diseases. The aim of treatment is to save the child first, followed by globe and vision salvage. Treatment depends on laterality, size, location and extent of tumor. The main prognosis depends on early detection of tumor and treating the child by multidisciplinary team approach. Due to advancement in treatment modalities for the last two decade the survival rate of retinoblastoma has increased. But long term follow up is mandatory for retinoblastoma survivor as there is risk for development of second cancers in later life. Proper genetic screening and genetic counseling can help parents and patients in their adulthood to understand the disease properly.Recently, mucormycosis, extremely rare fungal infections are emerging as a matter of concern in COVID-19. The saprophytic fungi of Mucorales species cause the disease, Mucormycosis, only in immunocompromised hosts. Clinical presentation of mucormycosis is related to the underlying conditions; rhino-cerebral disease is the most common form, especially in patients with diabetes mellitus; pulmonary, cutaneous, or gastrointestinal infections can also occur. Severe COVID-19 itself is a life-threatening disease and various factors, including diabetes, especially when complicated by ketoacidosis, previous respiratory pathology, immunosuppressive therapy, nosocomial infection sources and systemic immune alterations of COVID-19 itself predispose to mucormycosis. No specific biomarkers are available to diagnose mucormycosis; imaging of the involved area and histopathological examination of the biopsied tissue are most important in diagnosis. The underlying medical conditions must be corrected; these include good glycemic control, tapering of steroids, and reducing or stopping immunosuppressive medications. Systemic antifungal therapy with liposomal Amphotericin B is the medical treatment of choice though drug resistance is not uncommon. Surgical debridement of devitalized tissue is often required. Severe COVID-19 patients with secondary co-infections require longer hospitalization and had higher risks of death. The mortality rate is almost 50% despite timely adequate treatment. The judicious use of systemic glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive agents for treating severe disease and hyperglycemia control seems vital for preventing and managing mucormycosis.Norovirus, often called winter vomiting bug, is the most common cause of outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis in all age groups all over the world. It was discovered in 1972; belong to the genus Norovirus in the family Caliciviridae. Based on genomic organization and phylogenetic analysis, the family Caliciviridae is divided into four genera- Norovirus, Sapovirus, Vesivirus and Lagovirus. Liproxstatin-1 cell line The aim of this review article was to find out the present status of prevalence and evolution of norovirus strains in developed and developing countries. In this article various literature on norovirus from different countries was reviewed. The detection of norovirus in the lower middle income countries (LMIC) was reported 15% in cases and 8% in controls during 1997 to 2018. On the other hand, detection rate of norovirus in low income countries (LIC) was 11% in cases and 9% in controls during the same period. Overall detection rate of norovirus was 14% in LIMC and 8% in LIC during 1997 to 2018. Noroviruses are divided geneticar, headache and stomach pain. It may be complicated with dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Gastroenteritis develops 12 to 48 hours after exposure and recovery typically occurs within 1 to 3 days. There is no specific treatment of norovirus gastroenteritis. Prevention includes proper hand washing and cleaning or disinfection of contaminated surfaces. Various genotypes of norovirus may be circulating around the world and can emerge either nationally or globally. In this overview, general characteristics of norovirus, current status of genomic diversity and classification, recent status of norovirus gastroenteritis outbreaks in the developed and developing countries is outlined for comprehensive understanding of the present status of prevalence and evolution of norovirus strains to develop strategies for prevention and control of norovirus infection in human.Dermoid cysts (DC) are benign cutaneous developmental anomalies comprising of hair follicles, sweat glands and sebaceous glands, and lined by stratified squamous epithelium. They are most commonly found on the face, lower back, and ovaries. We present a case of DC with intracranial extension in a 9 year old boy who presented with headache and a fluctuant scalp swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a midline scalp mass with intracranial extension. The lesion was excised with superior sagittal sinus preservation; and confirmed as DC by histopathological examination. The boy made good recovery.Management of critically ill obstetric patients is a great challenge for the ICU team. The safety of both mother and fetus are of real concerns. Teamwork is essential for better outcome in obstetric patients in the ICU. A 26 years old female was admitted in Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh on 18 August 2019 with 7 months pregnancy with brain tumor (later diagnosed as Gliosarcoma) and was managed surgically by left temporal craniotomy with excision of the tumor. The patient was shifted to the ICU due to repeated convulsions and need mechanical ventilator support. Later on, she was suffering from sepsis with pseudomonas in blood culture, grade IV pressure ulcer and electrolyte imbalance and needed tracheostomy for airway management. link2 On 34th weeks of her pregnancy she developed antepartum hemorrhage with respiratory distress. Emergency LUCS was done and she delivered a LBW baby who was managed in NICU. Mother was managed in the ICU and later on both mother and child were discharge with good conditions. Multidisciplinary team work is vital for better management of critically ill obstetric patients.Angiomyolipomas (AML) are benign tumor of kidney also referred as renal hamartoma composed of varying amounts of mature adipose tissue, smooth muscle, and blood vessels. It is seen in two distinct clinical forms, a sporadic (isolated) form and 55-80% seen in association with Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). If the lesion grows to a large size, a series of clinical manifestations and serious complications may occur. Here we present a case of 26 years lady who presented in the Department Radiology & Imaging of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh with chief complaints of bilateral loin pain and occasional hematuria for 2 months. Ultrasound abdomen and contrast enhanced computed tomography shows bilateral renal angiomyolipoma (left>right). In order to look for tuberous sclerosis features, we followed her with plain computed tomography of head which shows subependymal calcifications.Polyorchidism is a rare congenital anomaly reported about 200 cases in the world text. A number of theories have been planned concerning the making of polyorchidism, but the real explanation is still not acknowledged. Here we are going to present a case study of polyorchidism. A 70 years old gentleman complained with left supernumerary testes in the left hemiscrotum. His left hemiscrotum was painless with mass. Polyorchidism without malignancy or any other concomitant features were revealed by both ultrasound and MRI examinations. In most cases the ultrasonograph alone is diagnostic. In complicated cases of polyorchidism MRI may provide additional information.This in-vitro study was done to compare the sealing ability of Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, a mixture of MTA and Glass ionomer cement (GIC) in 21 and 11 ratio and MTA CEM, as furcation repair material using a dye extraction leakage model in the department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics from January 2020 to December 2020. Eighty five extracted molars with divergent and well formed roots were selected for study and were randomly divided according to the material used for perforation repair. Group A MTA, Group B Biodentine, Group C MTA mixed with GIC in 21 ratio. Group D MTA mixed with GIC in 11 ratio. Group E MTA CEM and 2 control groups. All samples were subjected to orthograde and retrograde methylene blue dye challenge followed by dye extraction with 70 weight % nitric acid. Samples were then analyzed using Ultra violet (UV) Visible Spectrophotometer at 550nm wavelength. The data were subjected to statistical analysis One Way ANOVA (level of significance less then 0.05) and post-hoc tukey test. MTA, Biodentine, Mixture of MTA and GIC in 21 ratio and MTA CEM showed significant less dye absorbance than MTA and GIC in 11 ratio. Within the limitation of the study, the newer mixture of MTA and GIC in 21 ratio showed promising sealing ability and was comparable to MTA, Biodentine and MTA CEM.Carrying angle is one of the secondary sexual characteristics which is important for keeping the hand away from body to improve functionality. link3 A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Western Indian population (rural and urban population in and around Jodhpur district) during July 2014-June 2016 with the purpose of evaluating the carrying angle in apparently healthy adult and determines the range of normality according to age, sex, height, waist circumference and special reference to handedness. The carrying angle (elbow) was measured in 504 adults aged between 20-40 years (by simple random sampling) by a digital Goniometer. The subjects were in anatomical position (stand up straight, roll his/her shoulders back and the elbow was fully extended and the forearm fully supinated) while the carrying angle were taken. Carrying angle of the right side in male's 11.54°±1.29° and in female's 13.41°±1.26°, whereas these value in left side 10.21°±1.34° and 12.19°±1.44° respectively. All measurements in females are significantly higher in comparison to males (p less then 0.001). The significant difference was observed in carrying angle according to handedness; dominant hand had higher value of carrying angle in comparison to non-dominant hand in both gender (p less then 0.001). The height of individuals is positively correlated with the angle whereas there was no correlation was found in between age, waist circumference. The present study showed that the females have greater carrying angle than males.For individual identification, the principal biological element is sex determination from disfigured and amputated limbs or body fragments in forensic investigation. Diverse dimensions and proportions affect the anthropometric assessment of sex in different populations. A cross-sectional study was conducted during July 2014 to June 2016 on five hundred and four healthy individuals of age-group 22-40 years of Western India to see the degree of sexual dimorphism in limb measurements. The forearm length, whole upper limb length, tibial length and whole lower limb length of both sides were measured by the universal anthropometric criteria. Demarking points, sexual dimorphism indices and discriminant functions were developed for each measurement. The sexual dimorphism was observed in all variables and males have a higher value than females (p less then 0.001). The tibial length showed the highest accuracy in sex determination and the highest sexual dimorphism, followed by whole lower limb length. The range of Cross-validated sex classification precision was between 58-90% for the individual variables, 91.
