The following study involved the standardization of a procedure for the preparation of Laminated Baked Product with Oats. Normal and the oats product were manufactured by using maida, dalda and other raw materials. Two different samples were made-first using normal baked product and the other by the addition of oats. These products were baked at a temperature of upto 250°C. In all cases 1000 g of maida exclusive of other ingredients and the final product or yield of 1.5 kg. The dough was prepared by planetary mixer for half an hour and then baked. Sensory evaluation and comparative study of quality characteristics was carried out for the samples made. Comparative study was done between the two samples to evaluate the best and the cost estimation for both the samples was calculated.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a halt to almost all kinds of surgery throughout India. There was increased
risk of requirement of ICU care and high rate of mortality. Surgical interventions in emergency situations were
necessary to save life. The outcome in covid positive patients undergoing emergency surgeries has not been well
studied during the initial stage of outbreak. The aim of this study was to determine the outcomes of emergency surgery in
covid-19 positive patients. A retrospective review was performed of all COVID-19 positive Materials and methods:
patients undergoing emergency intervention during June 2020 to August 2020 at a teaching hospital in North East India.
Details and conditions of patients at the time of surgery are retrieved retrospectively from available medical records.
Clinical characteristics and mortality were analysed. There were 28 patients who underwent emergen Results: cy
surgeries during the period. There were 10 females and 18 males with age group varied between 10 to 72 years. The
majority of patients 13(46%) were in American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) class 3. All patients were treated in
ICU & Covid care wards post operatively. The mean length of stay was14 days. There were 5 deaths (18%) in the study
group. All of the patients were in ASA class 2 or 3. The odd ratio for mortality with ASA Class 3 was 6 (p value: 0.1528; 95%
CI of 0.47-327.10). All the patients with poor results were associated with co-morbidities with odd ratio of 6. (P
value:0.1528; 95% CI of 0.47-3271). In this analysis it was found that emergency surgical interven Conclusions: tions
were feasible with all precautions. The mortality was associated with high ASA class , co-morbidities and extremes of
ages.
Background : The incidence of Carcinoma of Gall bladder(CaGB) and Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) are extremely high
in Asia. The North of India and its north east regions have high incidence of both the cancers. Numerous studies reported
that serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and CEA plays a role in the diagnosis and followup of CCA and Ca GB
.The aim of this study was to examine the diagnostic accuracy of CEA & CA19-9 for CCA and Ca GB. Materials and
Methods: In this retrospective study 70 patients with Ca GB and 30 patients with CCA who had undergone treatment at a
state cancer Institute in Northe east India during 2020 -2022 were included.Laboratory data of serum CEA and CA19-9
against diagnosis of Ca GB and CCA were collected using hospital record system. The diagnostic sensitivity (SEN),
specificity (SPE), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR),mean and standard deviations were compared between CEA and Ca19.9
in both the groups of CaGB and Cholangiocarcinoma. The Sensitivity of CEA in diagnosing Ca GB was 0 Results: .58 ;
specificity was 0.53 ;diagnostic odds ratio was 1.6 with the mean of 22 and Standard Deviation (SD)of ±50.The
Sensitivity of CEA in diagnosing Cholangiocarcinoma was 0.56; specificity was 0.41;daignostic odds ratio was 0.93 with
the mean of 7 and Standard Deviation of (SD) of ±44. The Sensitivity of CA19.9 in diagnosing Ca GB was 0.55 ; specificity
was 0.2 diagnostic odds ratio was 0.3 and mean of 560 with standard Deviation (SD) of ±400. The Sensitivity of CA19.9 in
Cholangiocarcinoma was 0.83 ; specificity was 0.3. The diagnostic odds ratio was 4 and mean was 440 with Standard
Deviation (SD) of ±360. These data suggest that the CEA has low specificity and sensitivity for d Conclusions: iagnosis
of CaGB and cholangiocarcinoma. The CA19.9 is more sensitive in Cholangiocarcinoma
