Abstract

Palmar lesions may occur alone or along with involvement of soles and other areas. The most common conditions of palmar lesions are Psoriasis, Eczema, Dermatophytosis, Verruca vulgaris, Syphilis and Seasonal exfoliation. Other conditions over the palms include Druginduced, Callosities, Keratoderma and Heloma. Skin biopsies were obtained from the enrolled patients. We examined H&E-stained sections of the skinbiopsies of palmar lesions to observe the histopathologicalstudy where it was seen that in the active lesions, Parakeratosis was more uniform, Munromicroabscesses were larger and more numerous which concludes that psoriasis is the commonest palmar lesion. We conclude that the commonest palmar lesion is Psoriasis over the palms and Dermatopathology has a verysignificant role in concluding the diagnosis and Clinicopathological correlation is always the best to aid in the finaldiagnosis which helps in the proper and further managementof the patient.

Objectives: The aim of the study is to conclude the observational study of clinical and histopathological findings in 100 patients with palmar lesions attending dermatology department at Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital.

Abstract

Objectives: To ponder the intubating conditions in grown-up careful patients utilizing airtraq optical laryngoscope without hardly lifting a finger of intubation, time taken for intubation, aviation route injury and hemodynamic reaction to laryngoscopy.

Place of Study: Aneasthesia Department, Sree Balaji Medical College and hospital, Chromepet, Chennai.

Period of Study: August 2016 to February 2018(18 months).

Study Design: Cross sectional analytical study.

Materials & Method: The investigation was a Single focus, forthcoming, randomized, open mark, interventional controlled study. After acquiring institutional moral advisory group endorsement. 30 patients (test size) are posted for elective medical procedure requiring general anesthesia (Recruitment) with fulfilling consideration criteria were airtraqwho were decided on general medical procedure intubated with airtraqoptical laryngoscope tried out the examination in the wake of acquiring educated assent from the patients and relatives.

Results: Our study proved that Airtraq intubation helps the patients with good glottis view and it has less duration and less airway trauma. The intubation time and intubation difficulty score is more stable.

Conclusion: Our study concludes that endotracheal intubation is easier with Airtraq as it provide good glottis view. In addition to that Airtraq have less intubation duration, less hemodynamic response for intubation and less Airway trauma. Airtraqlaryngoscope significantly improve the view of glottic opening and facilitates fast, easy and reliable intubation.Airtraq reduce the need of more sophisticated and complex airway instrument like flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope to a particular extent.
