Item Anorectal anomaly (low) with imperforate hymen in a newborn.(1992-05-01) Gangopadhyay, A N; Pandit, S K; Gopal, S CItem Antitoxoplasma antibody in clinically suspected cases of human toxoplasmosis.(1990-04-01) Kar, S; Sen, M R; Gangopadhyay, A N; Sen, P C(1) Seventy sera from a variety of patients suffering from different diseases suspected to be caused by Toxoplasma gondii infection and forty from non-toxoplasmic hospital cases and laboratory and hospital staff were collected. (2) Antitoxoplasma antibody was detected in those sera by Indirect Haemagglutination test (IHA test) and Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). (3) Twenty one (30%) sera out of 70 test samples and 2 (5%) out of 40 control samples were positive by ELISA test. With IHA test only 17 (24.3%) of test samples and same 2 (5%) of control samples were positive. (4) Sera collected from Paediatric Department showed the highest positivity (40%) followed by Opthalmological group (35.7%) and obstetrics and Gynaecological group (13.6%). (5) No significant co-relation was found between the seropositivity with sex, diet and history of cat contact of the patients.Item Chondroid lipoma in a child.(2008-10-15) Patne, Shashikant C U; Aryya, N C; Gangopadhyay, A NChondroid lipoma (CL), a rare lipoma variant, has not been described well for patients younger than 14 years of age. We herein report an extremely unusual instance of CL in a 7-year-old child. The cut surface of the tumor showed peculiar tan-brown and yellow-white areas. Histopathological sections showed the presence of eosinophilic variably vacuolated round- to oval-spindle cells in a myxo-hyaline background. The findings were consistent with CL. The case is reported because of its extreme rarity.Item Chylolymphatic mesenteric cyst: an unusual abdominal mass in a newborn.(1993-09-01) Panjwani, K; Gangopadhyay, A N; Sharma, S P; Gupta, D K; Chooramani, G SItem Congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis at birth.(1996-05-01) Sinha, C K; Gangopadhyay, A N; Sahoo, S P; Gopal, S C; Gupta, D K; Gupta, B BItem Conservative treatment for round worm intestinal obstruction.(2007-12-05) Gangopadhyay, A N; Upadhyaya, Vijai D; Gupta, D K; Sharma, S P; Kumar, VijayendraOBJECTIVE: The ascariasis is one of the most cosmopolitan intestinal parasite infections and it can be in inhospitable regions inhabited by human being, but its biggest prevalence is observed in the tropical and subtropical areas. Intestinal obstruction has been estimated to occur in 2 per 1000 ascaris-infected children per year. We are presenting a study emphasizing the conservative treatment for complete intestinal obstruction due to roundworms without sign and symptom of peritonitis and perforation. METHODS: A total of 22 patients of roundworm obstruction partial or complete without signs of and symptoms of peritonitis were admitted in the Department of Pediatric Surgery IMS, BHU Varanasi India in the period form 2003-2005. Patients were put nil by mouth, intravenous fluid, antibiotics, piperazine salt through nasogastric tube and glycerine + liquid paraffin emulsion enemas and were evaluated for duration of hospital stay, rate of conversion to surgical treatment and complications. RESULTS: 19 (86%) patients were treated successfully with conservative line of management. Only 3 patients required surgical intervention. No mortality, complication and mean hospital stay was 4.1 days (range 4-5 days). CONCLUSION: Round worm intestinal obstruction can be effectively treated by conservative line of management.Item Estimation of tissue DNA content in Wilm's tumour.(1994-07-01) Sharma, S P; Gopal, S C; Gangopadhyay, A N; Gupta, D K; Chansuria, J PDNA genome, is affected by malignant processes. Estimation of DNA content was carried out biochemically using Gile's and Myer's technique to assess its prognostic value in 21 cases of Wilm's tumour. The DNA content of tumour tissue and normal adjoining renal tissue was estimated in each case. The DNA content was significantly higher in Wilm's tumour tissue as compared to normal renal tissue (p < 0.05). As the disease advanced, the DNA content of the tumour further increased. The tumours having unfavourable histology had significantly higher DNA content as compared to favourable histology cases (p < 0.001). Similarly, the patients who died because of the disease, had a very high DNA content as compared to those who survived. Further, it was seen that two fold increase in DNA content indicated advanced stage (III & IV), whereas a three fold or more increase indicated grave prognosis as it was usually seen in advanced stage with unfavourable histology and such cases died early. Thus, the DNA content estimation has a prognostic significance in Wilm's tumour.Item Familial adenomatous polyposis coli.(1994-12-01) Sharma, S P; Gangopadhyay, A N; Gopal, S C; Aryya, N C; Yadava, RItem Gastric teratoma--review of literature.(1992-07-01) Gangopadhyay, A N; Pandit, S K; Sinha, A; Gopal, S C; Khanna, SItem Ileal atresia with intestinal duplication.(1992-12-01) Sinha, S; Gangopadhyay, A N; Harshwardhan,; Gopal, S CItem Ivemark syndrome in association with congenital septum transversum defect and pancreatic divisum.(2006-03-10) Sharma, Shilpa; Gangopadhyay, A N; Sharma, S PA four-month-old female baby presented with cyanosis and respiratory distress. A provisional diagnosis of congenital posterolateral diaphragmatic hernia was made but on exploration there was a defect in the septum transversum along with features of Ivemark syndrome - asplenia with visceroatrial heterotaxia, malrotation and pancreatic divisum - an association not yet reported in literature. The child did well after operative correction of the hernia. Echocardiography showed situs inversus with dextrocardia with double outlet right ventricle, atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, patent ductus arteriosus and pulmonary stenosis.Item Local steroid therapy in cutaneous hemangiomas.(1996-01-01) Gangopadhyay, A N; Sharma, S P; Gopal, S C; Gupta, D K; Panjawani, K; Sinha, J KOBJECTIVES: To evaluate the efficacy of intralesional triamcinolone in enhancing regression in various type of hemangiomas. SETTING: Outpatients department of a teaching hospital Subjects: One hundred and five patients with rapidly growing surface hemangioma. The age ranged from 1 month to 15 months (mean 7 months). INTERVENTION: Intralesional triamcinolone administered at monthly intervals, ranging from single injection to 7 injections (mean 3.6 injections). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Regression of the hemangioma. RESULTS: The overall response rate was 88.6% (excellent 51.4%, and good 37.2%). Maximum response was observed in children below 1 year of age (> 90%), lesions over the face (92.8%) and strawberry hemangiomas (99.9%). CONCLUSION: Intralesional administration of triamcinolone devoid of systemic side effects and an effective initial modality for rapidly growing hermangiomas.Item Meconeum hydrocele presenting as a labial mass.(2005-10-05) Sharma, Shilpa; Gangopadhyay, A NItem Mesenchymal hamartoma of liver.(1995-10-01) Gangopadhyay, A N; Sharma, S P; Gopal, S C; Yadava, R; Arya, N CItem Neonatal surgery: a ten year audit from a university hospital.(2008-10-10) Gangopadhyay, A N; Upadhyaya, Vijai D; Sharma, S PNeonatal surgery is the flagship and most challenging component of pediatric surgery, which is the youngest subspeciality of surgery. Neonatal surgery carried a survival rate of only 30% three decades ago. In the last decade there has been a significant change in the scenario. Earlier recognition and referral of these anomalies, availability of neonatal intensive care, better preoperative planning, decision, and techniques have lead to the change in the management. This is an audit into the outcome of neonatal surgery from one of the largest units in India over a ten year period. This audit reveals an across the board survival of 65-70% newborns after surgery on nearly two thousand case over a ten year period. It has an important message that while pediatric surgery units expand, risk stratification of surgical newborns and their treatment in suitable units is mandatory to maintain and improve these figures to match international standards over the next decade.Item Obstructed Morgagni's hernia.(2007-12-05) Gangopadhyay, A N; Upadhyaya, Vijai D; Gupta, D K; Sharma, S PMorgagni's Hernia is the direct herniation of the intra-abdominal organs through the anterior retrocostoxiphoid diaphragmatic defect. We are presenting a case of obstructed Morgagni's hernia in a five-year-old child. Who presented with colicky abdominal pain, distention of upper abdomen, vomiting with constipation of three days duration.. Morgagni hernia is a rare disease even rarer in pediatric age group, and is usually diagnosed incidentally; presentation of this disease with obstruction had been reported in adult but not in children.Item Pathological review of melanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy in India.(1991-07-01) Aryya, N C; Rastogi, B L; Gangopadhyay, A NMelanotic neuroectodermal tumour of infancy (MNETI) is a rare occurrence. Review of literature indicated 14 cases of MNETI encountered in India. The reported cases were observed in infants below one year of age. Males were affected more than the females. Except for one in the orbit, all the lesions were located in the maxilla. Histologically, lesions have been reported to be classical and benign in nature. Morphology of the tumours have been presented and discussed.Item Penile agenesis.(1994-09-01) Sharma, S P; Gangopadhyay, A N; Gopal, S C; Gupta, D K; Yadava, RItem Pyometrocolpos with distal vaginal agenesis.(1985-02-01) Singhal, G D; Gopal, S C; Gangopadhyay, A NItem Recurrent trichobezoar: first reported case.(1996-03-01) Kumar, V; Khatri, A K; Pandey, M; Shukla, V K; Gangopadhyay, A N
