Introduction : About 80% of type 2 diabetes mellitus is either preventable or controllable by changing diet, increasing physical activity and improving lifestyle. This research study investigated the role of the brisk walking and yogic exercises on fasting blood glucose levels among adult males with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methodology : 20 male diabetic patients were enrolled in the study and randomly allocated into two interventional groups. Study participants in group 1 underwent brisk walking intervention and study participants in group 2 underwent yoga intervention for 60 minutes daily between 6 AM to 7 AM for 15 consecutive days. The fasting blood glucose levels of study participants were measured using a calibrated glucometer. Results : Significant reduction (p Conclusion : The findings conclude that yogic exercises and brisk walking have enhanced the blood glucose lowering capacity among diabetic patients with pharmacological treatment and may be practiced as an adjuvant therapy for type 2 diabetic populations to reduce or prevent long-term complications.

Objective: Patients of polytrauma due to road traffic accident, fall from height, sports injury with blunt chest trauma, as well as penetrating injury to chest were investigated for pneumomediastinum and pneumopericardium, which may prove life threatening. Material and Methods: This study was retrospective for three years and prospective for three years and was conducted in the department of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery at the Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Soura, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir for six years. All patients who reported to the hospital as polytrauma were investigated by noncontrast computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest. We did 1,350 CT scans of the chest for blunt and/or penetrating chest trauma in the last six years as a part of emergency investigations. All chest CT scans were investigated for pneumopericardium, simultaneous with other traumatic pathologies. Results: Of the 1,350 chest CT scans, 930 were normal. Twenty-one patients had pneumomediastinum in addition to other primary surgical pathology. Of these 21 patients with simultaneous pneumomediastinum, eight patients had associated pneumopericardium; five patients with pneumopericardium had blunt chest trauma as etiology and three patients had penetrating trauma as etiology for pneumopericardium. Conclusion: To overcome the fatality of pneumopericardium, two important approaches need to be followed. The first is continuous monitoring of blood pressure and the second is the availability of an immediate facility for drainage of pneumopericardium. Pneumomediastinum is obligatory for pneumopericardium to occur.

Rapid resolution of post-traumatic acute subdural hematoma is infrequently reported. We report a case of rapid spontaneous disappearance of post-traumatic acute subdural hematoma in one patient who was discovered to have a contralateral middle cranial fossa arachnoid cyst. The previously reported mechanisms responsible for the rapid spontaneous disappearance of post-traumatic acute subdural hematoma are reviewed and the contribution of the middle cranial fossa arachnoid cyst to the disappearance of the pos-traumatic acute subdural hematoma that has taken place in our case is discussed. To the best of our knowledge the association between spontaneous disappearance of post-traumatic acute subdural hematoma and arachnoid cysts has not been previously reported.

Wandering spleen is a rare entity characterized by huge spleen with laxity of the splenic ligaments, absence of peritoneal attachments and presence of long pedicles. We herein present a case of a 42-year-old female with wandering spleen that presented to our clinic with intermittent abdominal pain associated with an abdominal lump.

Prostate cancer is notorious for its atypical presentation. However, spread to the cervical spine is uncommon. We herein describe the findings in a 57-year-old African American gentleman, who presented with neck pain and right-sided weakness. Examination revealed neck tenderness with numbness in the distribution of C6 region on right side. An MRI of the neck imaged a 3.4cm extradural soft tissue mass in the C6 region extending into the spinal-canal, causing spinal cord compression. At this point, differential diagnosis included: metastatic cancer vs. chronic granulomatous vs. primary CNS lesion. Management included high dose intravenous steroids and mass resection with cervical-spine fusion. The prostate specific antigen (PSA) was 1815 ng/mL (normal less than 4 ng/mL) with a repeat value of 1666 ng/mL, and the pathology findings confirmed the mass to be metastatic prostate carcinoma. This case illustrates an unusual presentation of metastatic prostate cancer, lytic in nature, presenting as cord compression, and sparing the bone and lymph nodes in the cervical region. Metastatic lesions of prostate cancer to the bone are most often blastic rather than lytic in nature [11]. Cervical involvement is seen in only 5% of cases. Regardless of this atypical presentation, early diagnosis of cord compression is of utmost importance because neurologic status upon presentation has important prognostic value. It is important to consider prostate cancer metastasis in any compressive neuropathy, or findings of an atypical mass affecting the cervical spine.
