Abstract Background Intussusception is the one of commonest causes intestinal obstruction requiring urgent attention in early childhood. There no gold standard non-operative reduction. We report our 6 years’ experience reduction using “RIGHT” (Reduction under General anesthesia Hydrostatic Technique) technique, emphasizing need to perform procedure operating room (OR) general anesthesia. This p...

Background: Mammalian sperm are not ready to fertilize oocyte immediately after ejaculation. Sperm achieve this ability after undergoing the processes of capacitation and hyperactivation. Hyperactivation refers to a change in the motility pattern of the sperm. Pharmacological reagents and physical-mechanical forces have been used in sperm from a variety of species. Hydrostatic pressure is a cru...

This study investigates the buckling behavior of short cylindrical shells with hemi-spherical heads subjected to hydrostatic pressure. It is assumed that the length of the cylindrical part is smaller than or equal to its diameter while its material may be dif-ferent from that of hemispherical heads. Finite element analysis was used to seek out the effect of geometric parameters such as thicknes...

To study the epidemiology of intussusception in children < 2 y age, postintroduction Rotavac® (an indigenous oral rotavirus vaccine). A multicenter hospital-based surveillance was conducted Odisha from February 2016 to June 2019. The cases were diagnosed according Brighton level-1 criteria. Data collected regarding time onset, signs and symptoms, radiological diagnosis, management, complication...

We present a case of infantile intussusception treated successfully using hydrostatic reduction, highlighting the importance of non-surgical techniques as the first line of management for this entity. Physicians should strive for mastery over such techniques by extensive training to prevent unwanted surgical procedures in such cases.
