Schwannoma of the Superficial Peroneal Nerve in 12 year

Female Child: A Case Report

Siddaram N. Patil*, Dinesh Babu K. B, Sandeep Reddy, Divya Bandari,

Gannerla Sudhaker, Pranavi V.

Mamata Medical College, Mamata General & Superspeciality Hospital, Khammam, Telangana, India

Abstract Schwannomas (or neurilemmomas) are related to hereditary disorder in some patients

and arise from the neurilemmal cells in nerve sheaths as lobulated, encapsulated

tumours. It is commonly found in the head region but extremely found in the deep tissues

of the foot. Schwannomas are slow-growing, encapsulated tumours that can be separated

surgically from the parent nerve. Occasionally, intralesional degeneration with fibrosis,

haemorrhage, calcification and cystic necrosis occurs in large or long-standing schwannomas leading to a so-called ancient schwannoma. In case of an elongated cystic

mass along the peroneal nerve, an intraneural ganglion is a more likely diagnosis.

Management of Hyperthermia in Traumatic

Brain Injury Patients

Parveen*, Punita Sharma, Ugu Libang, Sukhpal Kaur, Manju Dandhapani

National Institute of Nursing Education, PGIMER, Chandigarh, India

Abstract Hyperthermia is frequently seen in patients following head injury. It is associated with

worse outcomes in the form of longer intensive care unit stay, increased intracranial pressure and lower Glasgow Coma Scale Scores. Therefore, maintaining normal body

temperature is important in these patients. This study was aimed to determine the current

practices of management of hyperthermia in traumatic brain injury patients. A

retrospective study was conducted on 30 traumatic brain injury patients with temperature

≥ 38 °C in the neurology wards of a tertiary care hospital in India. Demographic profile sheet and temperature recording sheet were used to record temperature and its

management accordingly. The findings revealed that the highest mean temperature was recorded in patients with subdural hematoma (38.3 °C). Different modalities of

management for hyperthermia being used included cold sponging, oral paracetamol and

intravenous paracetamol. While no intervention was initiated at a temperature of 38 °C, cold sponging was initiated at a mean temperature of 38.2 °C. Oral paracetamol was

administered at a mean temperature of 38.3 °C and the most frequently used intervention

was intravenous paracetamol which was given at the mean temperature of 38.7 °C. Monitoring of temperature plays an important role in examining the effects of

interventions to manage fever. It is important to have a clear definition of fever in these patients so that interventions can be initiated early.

Parsing of Sensory Perception in Oscillatory Networks

Through Cross Frequency Coupling of Memory

Synchronization: Revelation of Enhanced Learning

by Autistic Brain

Ankush Rai* Department of Applied Science, CRIAD Laboratories, Smiriti Nagar, 490020, India

Abstract The brain faces many complex problems when dealing with multidimensional signals,

which is usually experienced as unitary precepts. We used neuronal spike patterns to

determine synchronization dynamics of neuronal activity for computer-generated color patterns in aid of synchronization of neuronal activity for memory formation in autistic

subjects. In particular, this gives functional organization of neuronal circuits and

interesting relationships between these oscillations and interneuronal coupling that suggest an enhanced mechanism for effective learning of visual patterns by autistic brain.

Keywords: Memory, Perception, Neuronal synchronization

Protocol for Intrahospital Transport of Critically Sick

Neurosurgical Patients

Abstract Intrahospital transport (IHT) of critically sick neurosurgical patients is an inevitable part

of patient care. IHT of neurosurgical patients for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures

are more frequent than for other patients. During transportation, patients may face

certain avoidable mishaps and complications. So, the use of a systematic protocol for transport may contribute to better management of neurosurgical patients. The aim of the

study was to develop a protocol for safe IHT of critically sick neurosurgical patients. A Delphi technique was used to develop a protocol. A protocol was developed after

collecting suggestions from 11 Delphi members in three Delphi rounds. The final draft of

protocol was developed for transportation of neurosurgical patients that addresses the following elements—pretransport coordination and communication, accompanying

equipment, accompanying personnel, pretransport patient status assessment, monitoring during the transport, arrival procedures and documentation. We can ensure safe IHT of

critically sick neurosurgical patients by following a systemically developed protocol.

Nursing Management of a Patient with Increased

Intracranial Pressure:A Review

Latika Bajaj*, Manisha Nagi, Sukhpal Kaur National Institute of Nursing Education, PGIMER, Chandigarh, India

Abstract Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) is a common manifestation in the patients with

neurosurgical disorders. It can lead to potentially catastrophic consequences, including

permanent neurological damage and disability. Its prevention and management is of utmost importance in these patients. The current review is to evaluate the various

strategies for management of increased ICP. Material for the present study was collected

by reviewing various healthcare databases i.e., Cochrane review, Medline, CINHAL, Pub med, Science direct to identify various measures for the management of increased ICP.

Approximately 50 articles were reviewed. Effective management of increased ICP involves meticulous avoidance of factors that precipitate or aggravate increased ICP. It

has been documented that by elevating head up to 30, decreasing cerebral edema by using osmotic diuretics and hypertonic saline (HTS), administration of oxygen, reducing

cerebral metabolic demands, controlling seizures, maintaining temperature within normal limits, carefully performing respiratory procedures and appropriate nutrition can

control the rising ICP. Nursing care of the patient with increased ICP can present many

challenges for critical care nurses and hence a thorough knowledge of the dynamics of ICP and the factors associated with its increase is required to prevent progressive

damage to brain tissues.

Abstract Epilepsy is a common neurological disease and has no age, race, social, gender or

geographical boundaries. Nearly 5% people in the world may have at least one seizure in

their lives. At any point in time, 50 million people have epilepsy, especially in childhood, adolescence and old age. Major problems in epilepsy epidemiology are diagnostic

accuracy and case ascertainment. The diagnosis of epilepsy has important physical, psychosocial and economic implications for the patient. Appropriate measures are

needed to reduce the incidence, ensure adequate treatment of all affected persons, and

prevent morbidity and mortality associated with epilepsy.

Abstract Deficits in apomorphine-induced rotation and rotarod in rat have been proposed as a

nondrug-induced model of the akinesia associated with the Parkinson’s disease. In the

present study, we examined the disabilities in the rotarod and apomorphine-induced rotations have been observed after the 6-hydroxydopamine-induced denervation in the

striatum. These impaired activities have reversed after the Human Amniotic Epithelial

(HAE) cells transplantation during long-term observation. The neuronal densities and diameter were reduced in the 6-OHDA-infused striatum and the densities and diameter of

the neurons were slightly increased after the HAE cells transplanted striatum. The HAE cells did not have any surface antigen to create the graft-versus-host disease. HAE cells

from term human placenta express surface markers and genes characteristic of

embryonic stem cells and have the ability to differentiate into all three germ layers, including tissues of endodermal origin i.e., liver. HAE cells possess the ability to

differentiate into cells with characteristics of functional hepatocytes, in vitro and in vivo,

thus representing a useful and noncontroversial source of cells for transplantation. In the

present investigation, the HAE cells transplanted animals showed improvement on the

motor, sensorimotor and muscular coordination.
