Dear colleagues

Vanakkam!

The May Issue comes bursting with papers from different Kauvery Hospitals, and different specialties

Our authors range from Masters in publication to maiden efforts from novices to writing!

Dr. Balasubramaniam, Chief of Nephro Chennai, speaks charmingly of ‘marrying off’ his young transplant recipients, and about the joy of seeing their babies arriving safely.

This is the Complete, Family, Nephrology!

Drs. Senthilvelmurugan, Santhosh Kumar, Raam Prasanth, all radiologists, and Dr Arivarasan, Gastro Enterologist, all from Trichy, write on ‘Balloon-Occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration (BRTO) of Gastric Varices’.

Drs. Mohan Kumar, Vijay Kulkarni and Chandrakanth, all seasoned Orthopedic surgeons from Kauvery Hospital, ECB, bring to us an elegant piece of work- ‘Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty for Rotator cuff arthropathy.’

Drs. Kiruba Nandhini, encouraged by Drs. Vadivel Kumaran. S, Balaji Kirushnan and R. Balasubramanian intrigue us with a mesmerizing title – ‘The Ambush – A team approach.’

Does that remind you of wars in Iraq, Afghanistan or Ukraine?!

Dr. Krishna Chaitanya and Dr. Sridutt Bhadri, Department of Neurosurgery, and Dr. Sheelu Srinivas, Department of Otolaryngology, Kauvery Hospital Electronic City, Bangalore describe to us their ‘Endoscopic Trans-sphenoid Approach for Pituitary Adenoma excision: Multidisciplinary Care and Patient Outcomes.’

Ms. Suryaprabha, Chief Clinical Pharmacist and Asst Manager, Clinical Research, is here with the FIRST EVER PAPER IN INDIAN CORPORATE HOSPITAL PUBLICATION HISTORY with ”

A study on Presentation and Outcome of Bull Gore Injuries in a Group of Tertiary Care Hospitals!”

Young Sanjai Kumar, encouraged by Dr. Ravikumar, Consultant Neurologist, from Tennur, stun us with a maiden effort- ‘A case of Internuclear Ophthalmoparesis as the first manifestation of multiple sclerosis.’

Young Shankavi Mohanraj bats again for Tennur with ‘Granulomatosis with Polyangitis and Lung involvement.’

Kaviyarasi, Clinical Pharmacist, bats for Hosur, with ‘Rituximab in the Treatment Of B-Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma’.

Dasharatharaman never lets you forget Statistics- he is here with ‘Statistical Significance’.

You have more diagnostic images from Dr. RM. Subbaiah’s the ‘Atlas of haematology and hemato-oncology.’

Dr. Vasanthy Vidyasagaran never lets you forget that the anaesthesiologist is never unprepared for the unusual or the unpredictable- ‘Guillain Barre Syndrome in a Pregnant Patient’.

Dr. Yashwant Ambedkar’s page from his book comes this time with this solemn reminder “Before you examine the body of a patient, be patient to hear his story; once you learn his story, you will also come to know his body’.

Journal Scan and Recommended Reading always updates you on what you were too busy to catch up. You would find gems such as:

  1. A search for salvation, a semi- autobiographical book on psychiatric care.
  2. Blue toes in a neonate
  3. Jacob John et al. Burden of Typhoid and Paratyphoid Fever in India.
  4. Clinical aspects of snakebite envenoming and its treatment in low-resource settings.

Our prolific poet Balasubramaniam draws the curtain down with two of his very recent poems.

Do read, and write for the KAUVERIAN, YOUR Scientific Journal that is on the cusp of officially being accredited as an Open Access Journal, with its own ISSN.

Best regards,

Kauvery Hospital
