Role of Pancreatic Attenuation Index in Assessing Pancreatic Fat Content and Postpancreatectomy Outcomes Open
Background High fat content of pancreas can contribute to its soft texture, which is a strong predictor for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). We propose to assess the relationship of pancreatic computed tomography (CT) attenuation i…

Can Empirical Segmental Angioembolization of Splenic Artery Salvage Pancreatic Intraluminal Bleed? Open
Background Postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) and Hemosuccus Pancreaticus (HP) may present with slow but significant intraluminal bleed which may not be evident on imaging. We evaluated the efficacy of empirical segmental-angioembolizatio…

Outcome of loop cholecystojejunostomy as a palliative procedure in unresectable distal malignant biliary obstruction Open
Background: Up to 70-80% of patients with malignant biliary obstruction seek medical attention only at unresectable stage. Though R0 resection is the therapeutic modality, surgical palliation has a definite role for securing biliary bypass…

Is a difficult gallbladder worth removing in its entirety? – Outcomes of subtotal cholecystectomy Open
Subtotal cholecystectomy is a useful alternative during difficult gallbladder surgery. It should be considered early into the procedure preferably prior to conversion to an open procedure. Biliovascular injuries can be avoided and the Imme…

Early postoperative outcomes of dunking pancreatojejunostomy Open
Background: There is no gold standard method for pancreatico-enteric reconstruction. In our department, dunking pancreatojejunostomy (DPJ) and Duct to mucosa PJ technique are done as per surgeon’s choice. In this study, authors evaluate th…

Unidirectional monosynaptic connections from auditory areas to the primary visual cortex in the marmoset monkey Open
Until the late 20 th Century, it was believed that different sensory modalities were processed by largely independent pathways in the primate cortex, with cross-modal integration only occurring in specialized polysensory areas. This model …

Low-tie IMA and selective D3 lymph node sampling in laparoscopic rectal resection for carcinoma rectum: comparison of surgical and oncological outcomes with the open technique Open
The post-surgical complications and oncological clearance of LRR done with low-tie IMA and selective D3 lymphadenectomy were found equivalent to ORR. Low-tie IMA without routine splenic flexure mobilisation had no technical issues regardin…

Acute appendicitis following renal transplant: A case report and review of literature Open
Only a few cases of acute appendicitis (AA) have been reported in renal transplant recipients. The presentation may be delayed or non-specific due to the masking of inflammatory signs in the immunosuppressed patient. It is essential to dif…

A mathematical approach to correlating objective spectro-temporal features of environmental sounds with their subjective perceptions Open
Many studies on the subjective perception of non-linguistic sounds have focused on only a single percept, e.g. pleasantness. In the present study, we have examined three different perception-related factors to also allow us to look at any …
