Traumatic Bone Cyst of the Anterior Mandibular Region: A Case Report.

A traumatic bone cyst (TBC) is an unusual non-neoplastic pseudocystic cavity in the bone that is often asymptomatic and slow-growing. It is unexpectedly detected by regular radiography imaging. These lesions are more common in the mandible than they are in the maxilla, and they are often seen in patients older than 40 years of age. A radiolucent unilocular lesion with scalloped margins is the most common radiographic appearance. If the hollow is found to contain blood or straw-colored fluid, surgical exploration is the only way to make a conclusive diagnosis of this uncommon condition. We present a case of an asymptomatic, incidentally diagnosed (on radiograph) traumatic bone cyst in a young patient involving the mandibular anterior region with periapical radiolucency. The case was diagnosed by radiographs and histopathological evaluation.

Aberrant Location of Low-grade Myofibroblastic Sarcoma of the Gingiva in Posterior Maxilla.

Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma is a malignant tumor arising from myofibroblasts, which has only recently become clearly defined. It represents a rare entity developing in the soft tissues of the head and neck. About 20 cases have been reported in the oral cavity, especially in the tongue and bone, while gingiva as the primary site has been described only twice to date. Diagnostic methods include histology and immunohistochemistry. The present report concerns a case of a 13-year-old female child who presented with gingival nonulcerated swelling that was interpreted for a long time as a gingival fibroma. A low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma was diagnosed and the patient underwent a segmental osteotomy of the right posterior region of the maxilla. There was no sign of recurrence or metastatic disease during the 12-month postoperative period. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Padmawar NS, Bhadange S, Mustilwar RG, et al.

Assessment of Job Satisfaction and Quality of Life among Practicing Indian Anesthesiologists.

INTRODUCTION: Anesthesiologists are exposed to extreme level of stress from beginning of career. With evolution of super-specialty branches, level of stress faced has also raised. Prolonged working hours, poor hospital facilities and dependencies on surgeon are main contributing factors. Stress and unsatisfactory remuneration may lead to decrease in job satisfaction. One should have a good quality of life, but high level of stress may itself compromise quality of life. This study aims at assessment of stress, quality of life spent, job satisfaction, and health issues. AIM: The aim is to study stress level, job satisfaction, and quality of life of practicing Indian anesthesiologists. SETTING AND DESIGN: This was an online survey, descriptive study. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: An online survey consisting of 21 questions was sent to Indian anesthesiologists by E-mail using SurveyMonkey platform. The responses were collected and analyzed. RESULTS: Out of 1219 anesthesiologists, 81% were satisfied being anesthesiologist, but 58% are unsatisfied with remuneration. More than one role was played by 47.7% of anesthesiologists. Nearly 83% of anesthesiologists agreed that the stress is highest among anesthesiologist compared to other medical professionals. Stress does reduce with the presence of another anesthesiologist while managing cases. Most anesthesiologists practiced various stress reduction methods of which spending time with the family was most popular method. CONCLUSION: This study divulges working pattern, job satisfaction, level of stress faced, methods to alleviate stress, and quality of life of anesthesiologists in India. A balanced family and professional life with proper utilization of leisure will reduce the stress.

Anesthesiologist in cardiac catheterization laboratory; the roles and goals!! A postgraduate educational review [corrected].

It is not uncommon to see in developing and underdeveloped countries, where the anesthesiologist who is untrained in cardiac specialty takes care of cardiac catheterization centers. The service in cardiac catheterization laboratories (CCL) in developed countries and some of the developing countries is mainly provided by the cardiac anesthesiologists. The scenario is not same in some part of developing countries or in underdeveloped countries which are mainly due to increase in number of CCL (catheterization laboratory) when compared to the number of cardiac anesthesiologists working outside the operation theater. It is also important for training the postgraduate in this field as to make them capable and competitive in managing such cases during emergency situation as it may save the life of a patient. Many a times, CCL is built as per the need of cardiologist ignoring the basic needs of cardiac anesthesiologist. It is important to note that anesthesiologist should be competent enough to provide complete, integrated anesthetic care outside the operation theater with available resources. It is challenging for the anesthesiologist to provide sedation or general anesthesia in such critical area where he/she will be dealing with life-threatening situations. In the modern era, the interventional techniques are advancing and treating complex heart diseases is more often. Days are not far where the CCL procedures may reduce the requirement of major surgeries. A careful and dedicated approach by the anesthesiologist with thorough knowledge and skills decreases morbidity and mortality rate. This article helps both cardiac and noncardiac anesthesiologists to improve their knowledge and to approach the patient systematically.
