  ABSTRACT: Corrosive ingestion is common in Asia and it is a frequent cause of morbidity secondary to intense fibrotic reaction and stricture formation of the oesophagus. Isolated corrosive pyloric stenosis without oesophageal involvement is an uncommon phenomenon. All consecutive patients, with corrosive ingestion in the last two decades, were reviewed and analysed. Eleven out of 201 patients with corrosive ingestion had isolated gastric outlet obstruction. Patients' age ranged from 11 to 29 years with a male:female ratio of 1.75:1. All patients developed pyloric stenosis following ingestion of solution of acids. Barium study revealed complete/near-complete gastric outlet obstruction in all patients. On laparotomy, there was gastric dilatation in 10 patients, who underwent posterior gastrojejunostomy, whereas the stomach was contracted in one patient, and hence anterior gastrojejunostomy was performed. Seven patients were completely relieved of their symptoms; persistent postprandial epigastric fullness and/or dyspepsia was observed in four patients whose gastrojejunostomy stoma was found adequate on barium study, suggestive of gastric motility disorder. We did not encounter gastrojejunostomy-related complication of stomal ulcer/stenosis in our patients. Isolated corrosive pyloric stenosis is not as rare as is commonly thought. Gastrojejunostomy is effective, although a fair percentage of patients appear to develop gastric motility disorder secondary to corrosive injury.

  Article: Foreign body granuloma in the anterior abdominal wall mimicking an acute appendicular lump and induced by a translocated copper-T intrauterine contraceptive device: a case report.

  ABSTRACT: Intrauterine contraceptive devices may at times perforate and migrate to adjacent organs. Such uterine perforation usually passes unnoticed with development of potentially serious complications. A 25-year-old woman of North Indian origin presented with an acute tender lump in the right iliac fossa. The lump was initially thought to be an appendicular lump and treated conservatively. Resolution of the lump was incomplete. On exploratory laparotomy, a hard suspicious mass was found in the anterior abdominal wall of the right iliac fossa. Wide excision and bisection of the mass revealed a copper-T embedded inside. Examination of the uterus did not show any evidence of perforation. The next day, the patient gave a history of past copper-T Intrauterine contraceptive device insertion. Copper-T insertion is one of the simplest contraceptive methods but its neglect with inadequate follow-up may lead to uterine perforation and extra-uterine migration. Regular self-examination for the "threads" supplemented with abdominal X-ray and/or ultrasound in the follow-up may detect copper-T migration early. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of intrauterine contraceptive device migration to the anterior abdominal wall of the right iliac fossa.

  ABSTRACT: To assess and evaluate the accuracy of individual types of evoked motor responses (EMRs) for prediction of successful surgical anesthesia following peripheral nerve stimulator (PNS) assisted supraclavicular block. A prospective study was carried out over a period of one and half years from August 2004 to January 2006, at J. N. Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India, in 60 patients who underwent various elective operative procedures on the upper limb. Any of the EMR, such as forearm flexion or extension, carpal flexion, or extension, prono-supination, or finger flexion, at a definite current of 0.25 mA for 2 ms was taken as an end point for prediction of successful block, and a local anesthetic solution (0.375% Bupivacaine, 30 ml) was administered at that level. Complete surgical anesthesia was observed in those cases where EMR included: flexion of only second and third fingers (n=15/15) or flexion of all 4 fingers with thumb opposition (n=14/14) or uncommon flexion of all 4 fingers without movement of any other joint of the upper limb (n=2/2), suggesting a sensitivity of 100%. However, thumb opposition to the tip of the flexed little finger revealed a success rate of only 83% (n=5/6), and other EMRs were followed by high rates of inadequate surgical anesthesia or total failure. Specific EMR of flexion of second and third fingers, or all the 4 fingers are reliable predictors of complete surgical anesthesia following PNS assisted single injection supraclavicular nerve block with no incidence of pneumothorax and nerve damage.
