abstract = {Introduction: Mid-face defects resulting from trauma, tumor excision, or infection pose a significant reconstructive challenge due to the complex anatomical and aesthetic considerations involved. The forehead flap remains a cornerstone in facial reconstruction due to its robust vascularity and tissue characteristics. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of the forehead flap technique in reconstructing mid-face defects. Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 25 patients with mid-face defects treated using forehead flap reconstruction at Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Princess Esra Hospital, between May 2022 and May 2025. Clinical evaluation, aesthetic outcomes, patient satisfaction, and complication rates were assessed. Results: Infection (8%), trauma (24%), and oncologic resections (68%), accounted for the majority of errors. Eighty percent of patients had excellent cosmetic results, with just two cases of flap congestion and one case of wound dehiscence. There was no flap loss noted. Eighty-eight percent of patients were satisfied. Conclusion: The forehead flap is a reliable and aesthetically favorable option for reconstructing mid-face defects, with a high rate of patient satisfaction and low complication rates.},

abstract = {Introduction: Fingertip injuries are among the most common hand traumas and can significantly impact hand function and quality of life. Proper reconstruction is essential for preserving tactile sensation and aesthetics. Locoregional flaps are frequently employed in fingertip reconstruction due to their simplicity and effectiveness. Objective: To evaluate the functional and aesthetic outcomes of locoregional flaps in the management of fingertip injuries. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted over a period of three years, from May 2022 to May 2025, at the Department of Plastic Surgery, Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Princess Esra Hospital. A total of 40 patients with fingertip injuries requiring flap coverage were included. Depending on the type and location of the injury, several locoregional flaps were utilised, including V-Y advancement flaps, thenar flaps, and cross-finger flaps. In order to evaluate flap viability, wound healing, function recovery, and cosmetic results, patients were monitored. Results: Most patients demonstrated good functional recovery with minimal complications. Flap survival rate was high, and the majority of patients reported satisfactory aesthetic results. Early intervention and appropriate flap selection were key factors contributing to successful outcomes. Conclusion: In order to effectively treat injuries to the fingertip, locoregional flaps are essential because they provide dependable covering with positive functional and aesthetic outcomes. In reconstructive hand surgery, this method is still useful and practical.},

abstract = {The Orofacial clefts occur when the lips or the roof of the mouth do not fuse properly during the early weeks of pregnancy. There is strong evidence that periconceptional use of folic acid can prevent neural tube defects but its effect on oral clefts has generated debate. To identify factors associated with suboptimal periconceptional use of folic acid and its potential effect on oral clefts. The population-based infant cohort of the national Growing Up in Indian study, which consists of 10,134 9-month-old infants. Data collection comprised questionnaires conducted by interviewers with parents in parents' homes. Characteristics of mothers who did or did not take folic acid before and during pregnancy, as well as the effect of folic acid use on the prevalence of cleft lip and palate were recorded. The prevalence of cleft lip and palate was 1.92 (94% confidence interval [CI] = 1.21 to 2.88) per 500 9-month-olds. The odds ratio for cleft lip was 2.24-fold higher (92% CI = 1.11 to 8.10, P = 0.006) for infants of mothers who did not take folic acid during

the first 3 months of pregnancy, when compared with those who did have a folate intake during the first trimester. Folic acid use was suboptimal in 32.2% (94% CI = 32.2 to 35.1) of the sample. These findings support the hypothesis that taking folic acid may partially prevent cleft lip and palate. They are particularly relevant for GPs, because they are usually the first port of call for women before and during early pregnancy.},

abstract = {Aim of treatment is to achieve skin cover to prevent infection and to allow early mobilization. Electrical injuries are a

relatively uncommon. Adult electrical injuries usually occur as an occupational hazard, whereas children are primarily

injured accidentally. The spectrum of electrical injury is very broad, ranging from minimal injury to severe multi organ involvement, with both occult and delayed complications and death. This is a prospective study from OWAISI HOSPITAL & RESEARCH CENTRE, DECCAN COLLEGE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES, HYDERABAD. A total of 100 patients presenting from June 2023 to September 2024 were included. Patients were treated with surgical excision 21 (21.53 %), fasciotomy 16 (16.43 %), escharotomy 77 (77.62 %), and amputation 10 (10.21 %). In all patients debridement was performed. After follow-up, there was 6.64 % (6 patients) mortality. Minimal mortality may be due to less surface area involved or no visceral injury. Patients survived with morbidity due to amputation. Initial management of electrical burn is imperative to optimize function and minimize long-term scarring. However, further studies are required regarding flap repair and microsurgery to minimize the rate of amputation.},

abstract = {Vascular anomalies are a heterogeneous group of congenital blood vessel disorders more typically referred to as birthmarks. Subcategorized into vascular tumors and malformations, each anomaly is characterized by specifc morphology, pathophysiology, clinical behavior, and management approach. Hemangiomas are the most common vascular tumor. Lymphatic, capillary, venous, and arteriovenous malformations make up the majority of vascular malformations. This paper reviews current theory and practice in the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of these more common vascular anomalies. Vascular malformations and hemangiomas can cause significant morbidity and even mortality in both children and adults. For a number of reasons, physicians often confuse these lesions. The nomenclature for classifying these lesions is often used interchangeably and inappropriately. Clinically significant malformations are uncommon, and patients with these malformations are rarely encountered in primary medical facilities, rendering most physicians inexperienced in providing optimal care. Radiologists may become involved in the care of these patients when imaging or imaging-guided therapy is requested; therefore, knowledge of the imaging and treatment of these patients is essential. This article reviews the clinical and imaging approaches to vascular malformations and hemangiomas used in the multidisciplinary clinic, stressing a multidisciplinary approach, a practical

categorization scheme, characteristic imaging findings, and commonly encountered clinical scenarios.},

complex interplay of various cellular and neuro – hormonal changes. In severe burn patients there will be a continuous homeostatic alteration. The aim of this study is to present the salient features in burn patients. There is a comprehensive understanding of the global physiologic changes underlying the condition of burn patients and a judicious interpretation of their continuous homeostatic alterations. Extensive burn injury encompass not only the coetaneous wound but also systemic changes associated with serious pathophysiological complications, one of which is acute renal failure the incidence of acute renal failure in burn patients has been shown to vary widely from 1% to 30% and is associated with 73% to 100% mortality . Acute renal failure as an abrupt decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) cause by intrinsic parenchymal

disease or alterations in intrarenal hemodynamics. Its major manifestation is the accumulation of water, urea, creatinine, and potassium in the blood. },
