A Phase II study of gemcitabine and cisplatin in chemotherapy-naive, unresectable gall bladder cancer
(2004) D.C. Doval; J.S. Sekhon; S.K. Gupta; J. Fuloria; V.K. Shukla; S. Gupta; B.S. Awasthy
The primary objective of this study was to determine the response rates of the gemcitabine and cisplatin combination in unresectable gall bladder cancer patients. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the toxicity, time to progressive disease, and overall survival. Chemonaïve patients with histologically proven, unresectable bidimensionally measurable gall bladder cancer were enrolled into this study. All patients were required to have a Zubrod's performance status ≤2, no prior radiotherapy, and adequate major organ function. Patients received gemcitabine (1000 mg m-2 intravenously over 30-60 min) on days 1 and 8, and cisplatin (70 mg m -2 intravenously over 2h) on day 1, every 21 days. Response assessment was done by a CT scan after every other cycle of chemotherapy. In all, 30 patients were eligible for efficacy and toxicity analysis. There were four (13.3%) complete responders, seven (23.3%) partial responders, and seven (23.3%) with stable disease, with four (13.2%) patients showing disease progression. The median time to progression was 18 weeks (95% confidence interval (CI) 14-24 weeks), and the median duration of response was 13.5 weeks (range 5.5-104 weeks). The median overall survival was 20 weeks (95% CI 14-31 weeks), with 1-year survival rate of 18.6%. WHO grade 3 or 4 anaemia was seen in seven (23.3%) and four (13.3%) patients, respectively. Five (16.6%) patients each experienced grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, and grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia was seen in three (10%) and two (6.6%) patients, respectively. The present study shows that gemcitabine/cisplatin combination is well tolerated and active in advanced unresectable gall bladder cancer. © 2004 Cancer Research UK.
A rare presentation of abdominal castleman disease: A case report
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2024) Seema Khanna; D.A. Rani; S. Kumar; S.K. Gupta
Unicentric Castleman disease (UCD) is a rare benign lymphoid proliferative disease having solitary or multiple lesions in adjacent organs, limited to the same lymphoid region. Among all the affected stations, mesenteric localization of UCD is very rare and often misdiagnosed due to the absence of typical clinical and imaging features, making preoperative diagnosis difficult. Complete surgical resection remains the standard of care, which shows curative intent in 90% of patients. We report a rare case of an adolescent male with abdominal UCD who presented with intermittent abdominal pain, vomiting, and a firm, mobile lump in the right lower abdomen. Hematological parameters were within normal limits. Ultrasound raised suspicion of mesenteric mass in the right paraumbilical region which on contrast-enhanced CT scan was suggestive of benign mesenteric mass/desmoid tumor. Intraoperatively, a 10 × 9 cm mesenteric mass was noted in the right paraumbilical region attached to root of mesentery along with an inflamed appendix. Excision of the mesenteric mass with appendectomy was done. Histopathology was suggestive of Angio Follicular Lymphoid Hyperplasia (Castleman disease) and inflamed appendix. Castleman disease is an unusual medical case that poses a diagnostic challenge and it must be included in the differential diagnoses of solid abdominal mass. Though multiple treatment options are available, surgical resection is still considered the standard treatment of choice due to its diagnostic and therapeutic advantages. © The Author(s) 2024.
A trial to determine the role of placental extract in the treatment of chronic non-healing wounds.
(2004) V.K. Shukla; M.A. Rasheed; M. Kumar; S.K. Gupta; S.S. Pandey
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of topical placental extract in the treatment of non-healing wounds. METHOD: One hundred patients attending the wound clinic at University Hospital, Varanasi, India, with wounds of more than six weeks' duration were recruited. Fifty patients were treated with placental extract, and 50 were controls. Wound biopsy and swab culture and sensitivity were performed and the area surrounding the wound was X-rayed. Wound size was measured and the rate of epithelialisation assessed at weekly follow-ups. In nine cases biopsies were repeated after two weeks of treatment and sent for histopathological examination, including angiogenesis. RESULTS: Thirty patients dropped out, leaving 40 cases in the treatment group and 30 in the control group. Over an eight-week period, 27 patients (67.5%) in the treatment group showed more than 50% epithelialisation, compared with only seven patients (23.3%) in the control group. CONCLUSION: Placental extract has a beneficial role to play as a topical agent in the management of chronic non-healing wounds.
Abdominal compartment syndrome--an old syndrome, a new perspective.
(2007) Puneet; V. Chauhan; S. Singh; S.K. Gupta; V.K. Shukla
The abdominal compartment syndrome is a life threatening condition resulting from pathologic elevation of the intraabdominal pressure. Prompt diagnosis is required to avoid significant sequelae. Diagnosis of this syndrome is based on clinical findings and intra abdominal pressure monitoring. Treatment consists of decompressive laparotomy, which corrects the pathology. Various surgical techniques are described to manage the open abdomen. Despite considerable attention accorded to this disorder, it is still associated with high morbidity and mortality. This review article deals with the identification of risk factors, pathophysiology, diagnostic criteria and treatment of critically ill patients with the abdominal compartment syndrome.
Acute caecal volvulus: Report of 22 cases and review of literature
(1993) S. Gupta; S.K. Gupta
The management of 22 patients with acute caecal volvulus is described along with a review of literature. The preoperative diagnosis of caecal volvulus was made in 60 percent of the cases based on clinical findings and plain abdominal roentgenograms. Eleven patients had signs of peritonitis either due to gangrene or perforation of the caecum. On laparotomy all patients had mobile caecum but precipitating factors were not evident in any patient. The authors recommend resection and primary end-to-end ileocolic anastomosis in the presence of gangrene or perforation of the caecum. In non- complicated cases of caecal volvulus, detorsion and caecopexy are preferable because of low mortality, morbidity and recurrence rates.

An Indian community-based epidemiological study of wounds.
(2004) N. Gupta; S.K. Gupta; V.K. Shukla; S.P. Singh
OBJECTIVE: To establish the prevalence of wounds in a community, with an emphasis on chronic lower extremity wounds, and to identify the various aetiological factors involved. METHOD: A cross-sectional study was conducted to screen the population of two nearby communities (one urban and one rural) in India for wounds. This involved conducting a door-to-door survey between July 2001 and February 2003. RESULTS: The prevalence of wounds in the population studied (n = 6917) was 15.03 per 1000.The prevalences of acute and chronic wounds were 10.55 and 4.48 per 1000 of the population respectively. CONCLUSION:The most common site for both acute and chronic wounds was the lower extremity. In contrast to Western studies, the most common aetiology for a chronic lower extremity wound was an untreated acute traumatic wound. This in turn highlights the need to establish community-based wound-care teams in India.
An unusual cause of hemoperitoneum: case report with review of literature
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015) S Kumar; S Khanna; A Roy; S.K. Gupta
Abstract Spontaneous hemoperitoneum (SH) is a rare entity which can be life-threatening. Gastrointestinal neurofibromas are rare. Occasionally, such lesions may be the initial sign of NF1 in patients without any other clinical manifestations of the disease. The clinical presentations of isolated neurofibromatous lesions of the intestines are variable. In asymptomatic patient no treatment may be required and patient may be kept on follow up. Occasionally, they manifest with complications such as intestinal bleeding, obstruction or perforation. Surgery is the treatment of choice in symptomatic intestinal neurofibroma. We present the case of a 55 year-old male with acute abdomen due to rupture of isolated neurofibroma as one of the cause of SH. This case represents a rare presentation of isolated intestinal neurofibromatosis in a patient without systemic manifestations and highlights the need for high index of suspicion to exclude neurofibromatosis type 1 or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2b. © 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Breeding Methods
(2007) B. Rai; S.K. Gupta; Aditya Pratap
Oleiferous rapes are interesting breeding material since they have a complete range of breeding systems ranging from complete range of cross-pollination to self-pollination. A strong intergenomic interaction, also accounting for the evolution of mating systems in Brassica genus, affects the mode of pollination and therefore accounts for the choice of breeding methods in a particular rapeseed species. Seed and oil yield and early maturity have been the primary objectives of breeding in the Indian subcontinent, while quality received greater attention in the European countries, and accordingly the breeding methods also differed. However, more recently, major breeding efforts have been shifted toward the development of "double-zero" or "double-low" cultivars throughout the globe, and the desirable genes within as well as outside the genus are being tapped for the purpose, aided by conventional and biotechnological breeding methods. For this, both interspecific and intergeneric hybridizations have a great potential for creating new variability. Induced mutagenesis has also been fruitful to create variability for earliness, compact plant type, and yellow seed color. Conventional breeding methods have received due attention by rapeseed breeders throughout the globe and a large number of varieties have been bred utilizing these methods. Lately, artificial synthesis of amphidiploids and development of herbicide tolerant cultivars has also gained momentum. The present chapter focuses on various breeding methods and issues in rapeseed related to breeding for various biotic and abiotic stresses and herbicide tolerance, male-sterility and fertility restoration, development of hybrids, synthetics and composites, quality aspects, and creation of new variability through hybridization and mutagenesis. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.

Carotid angiography in cranio-cerebral trauma
(1978) V.R.K. Rao; S.P. Ganguly; S.K. Gupta
The present communication is an attempt to emphasise the safety, precision and value of carotid angiography in the investigation of head injuries. Extracerebral avascular spaces and other evidence of collections of haematomas in the extradural and subdural spaces were documented and analysed in 40 patients with cranio-cerebral trauma. Associated injuries of the skull and pulping of the brain are considered in the interpretation of the angiograms. The roentgen appearances are studied in the light of the clinical presentation for a clinical correlation. Literature on the subject is briefly reviewed and discussed with emphasis on the extra and subdural (acute and chronic) haematomas and the unusual subdural (acute) hygromas. The value of this investigation was demonstrated in a patient with clinically suspected intracranical neoplasm, in whom the diagnosis of chronic subdural haematoma was confirmed preoperatively by carotid angiography, thus giving a hopeful prognosis to the patient.
Case report: Multiple intracranial hydatid cysts with post-operative dissemination
(1991) S.K. Gupta; S.C. Tandon; S. Khanna; S. Asthana
A case of primary multiple intracranial hydatid cysts is reported. The cysts were both supratentorial and infratentorial. One showed rim enhancement and perifocal oedema. Post-operatively, the number and size of cysts increased, possibly because of intraoperative rupture. © 1991 The Royal College of Radiologists. All rights reserved.

Identified [Formula presented], [Formula presented], [Formula presented], and [Formula presented] transverse momentum spectra at midrapidity in [Formula presented] collisions were measured by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC as a function of collision centrality. Average transverse momenta increase with the number of participating nucleons in a similar way for all particle species. Within errors, all midrapidity particle yields per participant are found to be increasing with the number of participating nucleons. There is an indication that [Formula presented], [Formula presented], and [Formula presented] yields per participant increase faster than the [Formula presented] yields. In central collisions at high transverse momenta [Formula presented], [Formula presented] and [Formula presented] yields are comparable to the [Formula presented] yields. © 2002 The American Physical Society.
