Case ReportsAnesthetic Management of a Patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Case Report.
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, an electrophysiological disorder of heart caused by preexcitation of an abnormal accessory pathway,can either be asymptomatic or may present with palpitation or exertional dyspnea. We report a case of an asymptomatic 45-year-old male with incidental finding of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome posted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. ⋯ Taking all the necessary precautions to prevent tachyarrhythmia, balanced anesthesia, rigorous monitoring and preparedness with necessary drugs and equipment to treat any complications is the cornerstone for positive outcome. Keywords: accessory pathway; tachyarrhythmia; WPW syndrome.

Ringer's Lactate Hydration and Incidence of Post ERCP Pancreatitis: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is one of the most frequently used treatment modality for various pancreatobiliary problems. Frequent complications of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography include pancreatitis, cholangitis, hemorrhage and perforation. This study was done to see the prevalence of post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis in patient aggressively hydrated with Ringer's Lactate solution. ⋯ In this study we found that incidence of pancreatitis slumped after aggressive hydration with Ringer's lactate solution and adjunct use of other prophylactic measures for prevention of post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis might yield further better results.

Case ReportsTectonic Graft for Persistent Leakage and Visual Outcome After Corneal Perforation Repair: A Case Series.
Keratoplasty is a modality of treatment for large and leaking corneal perforation in a tertiary center. We report cases of 20and 30-years old men presented in an emergency with history of road traffic accident 1 and 3 days back. Best corrected visual acuity was hand movement in both injured eye. ⋯ Most cases of traumatic corneal perforation undergone urgent corneal repair but sometimes very difficult to seal the wound. In such cases donor cornea tissue may have to be used to maintain integrity of globe and better visual potential. Keywords: corneal perforation; laceration; siedel test; tectonic keratoplasty.
