    Abstract Various methods of reconstruction are available for reconstructing oral cancer defects, but all of them have their inherent drawbacks. The superiorly based platysma myocutaneous flap is a common reconstruction option for intra-oral defects following oral cancer resections. We present our results of using platysmal flaps in reconstructing intraoral defects following oral cavity cancer resection in our 7 patients along with resection of three cases of premalignant conditions of oral cavity. All the patients were males of age ranging from 24 to 42 years and diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity stage I and II were included in this study.Of 10 patients eight had no postoperative complications. One patient developed partial skin loss of neck donor site, which was managed conservatively. Other patient had complete flap loss which healed with secondary intention. We recommend this flap as incision is always away from the face, the scars are hidden beneath collars and the patients are very comfortable with good cosmetics and functional outcomes.\.

    Abstract Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a chronic condition and an emerging health challenge, in view of the growing elderly population and the obesity epidemic. Due to a lack of awareness among treating doctors and the non-specific nauture of the associated symptoms, SO remains grossly underdiagnosed. There is no consensus yet on a standard definition or diagnostic criteria for SO, which limits the estimation of the global prevalence of this condition. It has been linked to numerous metabolic derangements, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. The treatment of SO is multimodal and requires expertise across multiple specialties. While dietary modifications and exercise regimens have shown a potential therapeutic benefit, there is currently no proven pharmacological management for SO. However, numerous drugs and the role of bariatric surgery are still under trial, and have great scope for further research. This article covers the available literature regarding the definition, diagnostic criteria, and prevalence of SO, with available evidence linking it to CVD, metabolic disease and mortality, and an overview of current directives on management.

    Abstract Groundwater salinity problem was evaluated in the Rohtak district of the state of Haryana in northwestern India. The groundwater samples were collected from 82 villages of the district. Both post-monsoon and pre-monsoon samplings were carried out for two consecutive years (2017–2019). A total of 620 samples in the four seasons (155 in each season) were collected under strict QAs and QCs from APHA. The co-existing hydro-chemical parameters of salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS) and electrical conductivity (EC) were determined. ArcGIS 10.5 was used for spatiotemporal distribution evaluation. Groundwater salinity values between 0.20 and 8.00 parts per thousand (ppt) were obtained. Hand pump water is more saline (0.3–7.5 ppt) than bore-well (0.2–1.8 ppt) and dug-well water (0.6–1.3 ppt), thus limiting the options for viable water sources. Higher groundwater salinity in the post-monsoon season as compared to pre-monsoon season was observed. Groundwater salinity in the Rohtak district decreases in the order: Lakhan-Majra < Meham < Rohtak < Sampla < Kalanaur. Safer groundwater salinity levels were found in deep bore wells (>20 m) versus shallow bore wells (<20 m). Thus, this study evaluates the spatio-temporal and depth variations in groundwater salinity of Rohtak district. At the end the study proposes possible remedial measures for salinity problems.

    Abstract The COVID19 (Corona Virus Disease: pandemic started in 2019) pandemic has created not only a public health problem, but as a clinical challenge as well. To the cardiologist, COVID 19 presents a wide spectrum of possibilities for clinical decision-making intervention and improvement. Cardiac dysfunction has been identified as a risk factor, a prognostic factor, a diagnostic tool, differential diagnosis, a complication of COVID 19, and a side effect of its treatment. Certain cardiotropic drugs have been implicated in the pathogenesis of COVID 19. The risk of transmission of COVID 19 is an occupational hazard which cannot be ignored by cardiologists. This review discusses the need and scope of cardio vigilance in COVID 19 management.

    Abstract Hemolysis, a crucial feature of Sickle cell disease (SCD), is a key player for cellular activation leading to various complications including thrombosis. In response to hemolysis, platelets get activated and release components that are necessary for further platelet activation and aggregation. Thus, it is believed that platelets contribute to the development of thrombotic complications. Platelets in SCD are expected to be affected due to common cause of hemolysis. To measure the surface markers of platelets including P-Selectin, Phosphatidyl Serine and integrin αIIbβ3 in SCD patients and healthy controls in order to understand the status of the platelets in SCD. To measure the surface markers of activated platelets using flow cytometry. Since mitochondria and calcium play an important role in cellular functions, the mitochondrial membrane potential and calcium content of platelets in SCD were also evaluated using flow cytometry. In the present study, we have observed significant increase of calcium level in SCD platelets. Further, the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in SCD platelets was found to be significantly higher when compared to platelets of healthy controls. Though the surface markers of activated platelets in SCD remain unchanged, increased level of calcium and mitochondrial membrane potential loss suggest that the platelets in SCD are more prone to become activated. In order to understand the status of the platelets in SCD, apart from the surface markers, it is also important to assess the calcium levels and mitochondrial membrane potential of platelets.

    Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered arrhythmia in cardiology practice. A diagnosis of AF implies a greater need for hospitalization, a higher risk of stroke and heart failure, and earlier mortality. These complications can be avoided if AF is diagnosed and treated in a timely manner. To achieve this, physicians need to maintain a high index of clinical suspicion, practice cardiovigilance, and screen for AF in appropriate clinical settings. This review describes the vast spectrum of endocrine and metabolic disease that are associated with AF. Through this perspective, it encourages physicians and endocrinologists to play an active role in AF detection, referral and long term management.

    Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF), the commonest arrhythmia in clinical practice, is also the commonest arrhythmia for which hospitalization is required. AF is associated with a 5 fold increase in stroke, a 2 fold increase in all-cause mortality, and a higher risk of heart failure. Hence, it is imperative to focus on the risk factors and clinical features of this condition, so that it can be prevented and managed in a timely manner. AF is linked with multiple metabolic and endocrine morbidities. This implies that the endocrinologist has an important role to play in AF detection and referral. This review, the first of a two part series, encourages preventive cardiovigilance, and especially electro-cardiovigilance, in diabetes practice.
