Item Anatomy of retrohepatic segment of inferior vena cava and termination of hepatic veins.(2009-11) Joshi, S D; Joshi, S S; Siddiqui, A UBackground Information on anatomy of intrahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) and hepatic vein openings in it is limited. Methods We studied the retrohepatic segment of IVC and hepatic vein openings in it in 69 livers obtained from cadavers. The retrohepatic portion of the IVC was opened posteriorly by a vertical cut, the exposed surface was divided into 12 quadrants and the position, size, and septation of ostia of hepatic veins and any accessory openings were charted; measurements were made using Vernier calipers. Results The median length of the intrahepatic IVC was 5.7 (range 3.3–8.2) cm and its median diameter was 2.3 (range 1.5–3.0) cm. The superior (major) set of hepatic veins comprised of two veins (right and left-middle) in 45 (65%) cases, three veins (right, middle, and left) in 23 (33%) and four veins in one (2%) case. Median diameter of the right hepatic vein was 1.5 (range 0.8–2.7) cm and that of left hepatic vein was 1.2 (0.7–2.6) cm. Middle hepatic vein, when separate, had a median diameter of 1.1 (range 0.5–1.5) cm. The inferior (minor) set of hepatic veins had two to 16 (median 7) veins. Conclusions Our data provide information on number, size, position, and septation of hepatic vein openings into the IVC. This information may be useful to hepatologists, hepatic surgeons while planning segmental resection of the liver, and to radiologists planning diagnostic and interventional procedures on hepatic venous system.Item Bone disease in preterm.(2007-10-06) Khadilkar, V V; Khadilkar, A V; Joshi, S SThe survival rate of premature infants has significantly increased during the last few decades. As a consequence, new disorders such as osteopenia of prematurity have been emerging. We report 6 month evolution from diagnosis to recovery of a patient with metabolic bone disease of prematurity who showed a remarkable improvement on therapy with phosphate, calcium and vitamin D.Item Fermentation process and products--3. Aminoacids by bacteria.(1984-08-01) Joshi, S S; Subrahmanyam, AItem Nature of leukemia-associated antigenicity of dinitrophenylated human lymphocytes and lymphoblasts.(1981-03) Joshi, S S; Basrur, V S; Sahasrabudhe, M BUsing dinitrophenylated human lymphocytes and phytohaemagglutinin–stimulated human lymphoblasts as antigens, antibodies were produced in rabbits. The immunological reactivities of the antisera so produced were tested against various types of leukemic cells after absorbing the sera with pooled normal leukocytes. Both the sera showed reactivity with all types of leukemic cells and no specific affinity for lymphoid leukemic cells was seen. This may suggest the presence of some common antigens on all types of leukemic cells or that dinitrophenylation brings about similar changes on all types of normal leukocytes.Item Reactivity of fluorodinitrobenzene with intact human leucocytes: Examination of sites of action and the molecular entities involved in interaction.(1982-12) Joshi, S S; Basrur, V S; Sahasrabudhe, M BThe epsilon amino groups of lysine and to a lesser extent amino groups on phosphotidyl ethanolamine and phosphotidyl serine situated on cell membranes of normal human leucocytes have been identified as the sites of dinitrophenylation. In situ conversion of 10,000 hydrophylic amino sites into hydrophobic sites on cell surfaces causes conformational changes in cell membranes with exposures of leukaemic cell-specific neo-antigens on tagged cell surfaces.Item Sternoclavicularis - A variant of Pectoralis Major Muscle.(2013-01) Sontakke, Yogesh; Joshi, S S; Joshi, S DA rare muscle sternoclavicularis was found in a large triangular gap between the sternocostal and clavicular heads of Pectoralis Major muscle on the right side during routine cadaveric dissection. Sternoclavicularis was seen to arise from the anterior surface of manubrium sterni and the capsule of sternoclavicular joint and was inserted on the anterior surface of middle one third of the clavicle. It was supplied by the lateral pectoral nerve. Sternoclavicularis muscle may help in stabilizing the clavicle and may partially fill the triangular deficit in the origin of the Pectoralis Major. This variation may be of particular interest to plastic surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists and neurologists. It may mimic a tumour at this site.Item Trans-ethmoid decompression of the optic nerve in head injuries (a report of 7 cases).(1986-07-01) Nayak, S R; Wagh, S P; Joshi, S S
