DIGITAL ANAESTHESIA: COMPARISON OF THE EFFICACY AND PAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THREE DIGITAL NERVE BLOCK TECHNIQUES
V.S. Hung, , V.K.R. Bodavula and N.H. Dubin From The Curtis National Hand Center, Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, MD, USA Received 30 December 2004; accepted 21 June 2005. Available online 29 August 2005.
There are three commonly used methods of digital block anaesthesia: viz. subcutaneous, metacarpal and transthecal. A randomized, single-blinded study on 50 healthy volunteers was performed to determine time to onset, pain level and preference. Volunteers each received all three blocks, serving as their own controls. Time to onset was significantly longer (P<0.001) for the metacarpal block than for the subcutaneous or transthecal blocks. There was no significant difference in average pain level between the methods, as measured on a scale from 1 to 10. Volunteers chose the subcutaneous block (43%) as their first choice over the metacarpal block (33%) or the transthecal block (25%). The transthecal block had prolonged discomfort lasting 24 to 72 hours after injection in 20 subjects (40%). These findings suggest that subcutaneous block is effective and preferred by healthy volunteers for digital anaesthesia.

ADAAB… Welcome to land of exotic cuisine, Hyderabad. The list of exotic dishes from this Cuisine runs endless, but the Jewel in the crown is the "Biriyani ". An authentic Hyderabadi meal is never complete without one.
The method of making Biryani and its ingredients are a closely guarded secret. Every khaansa has his own recipe with a slight variation .The flavoring ingredient in the Biryani is the "POTLI KA MASALA". A combination of 21 condiments, herbs and spices that even include "Rose Petals " .
The two major variations in the Biryani are "Kacchi" and "Puccki" Biryani .The difference lies in the Preparation and the Pre cooking respectively .The heart of Biryani lies in Marination and the "Dum " (Steaming with live coals).
The "Kucchi Biryani " is made with uncooked meat and the marination time for the meat for this preparation varies from 90min-360min.The Marinate includes raw papaya peel , hung curd, spices and condiments. Some chefs use black and white pepper instead of red chilly powder.
The par boiled rice and the marinated meat are then arranged in layers with mint leaves, fried onions and saffron as garnish between the layers; the handi is then sealed and then handi is allowed to steam between layers of live embers. The seal of the Handiis broken only during the meals time and the delicious smell of the Biryani is allowed to waft in the dastorkhan whetting the appetite of the dinners.
The "PUCCI BIRYANI" is made similarly except for the fact that meat is pre-cooked before being arranged in layers for the dum. Of course, the marination process and the marinade will considerably differ for both these Biryanis.
The kitty of the Hyderabadi Khaansaas is filled with innumerable variations of Biryani .The vegetarians don't need to moan. The chef's have the Hyderabadi "Tarkari Biiryani" exclusively for them. The gourmets vouch for the fact that the Tarkari Biryani is just as sumptuous as the Kucchi or Pucci Biryani Till we meet Again Happy Dining.

HYDERABAD - THE CITY
Hyderabad, the capital of Andhra Pradesh is a bustling 400 year old metropolis with an urban population of 4.2 million people approximately. The city is cosmopolitan, and is richly endowed with a
variety of cultures. The city presents an attractive amalgam of old world charm together with ebullience of growth and enterprise. Beautiful old edifices built in the medieval, large glass and chrome temples of commerce.
The history of Hyderabad begins with the establishment of the Qutub Shahi dynasty. Quli Qutub Shah seized the reins of power from the Bahamani Kingdom in 1512 and established the fortress city of
Golconda. Inadequacy of water, and frequent epidemics of plague and cholera persuaded Mohammed, the fifth Quli Qutub Shahi ruler to venture outward to establish the new city with the Charminar at its center and with four great roads fanning out in the four cardinal directions.
Hyderabad's fame, strategic location and Golconda's legendary wealth attracted Aurangazeb who captured Golconda after a long siege in 1687. After this defeat the importance of Hyderabad declined and the city fell into partial ruin.
As the Mughal Empire decayed and began to disintegrate, the victory, Asaf Jah-I proclaimed himself the Nizam and established independent rule of the Deccan. Hyderabad once again became a major capital city, ruled by successive Nizams of the Asaf Jah dynasty until the state was merged into the Indian Union in 1948.
In 1798, a subsidiary alliance for military and political cooperation was signed between the Nizam and the British East India company. Thereafter, an area north of what is now the Hussain Sagar lake was
established as a cantonment. The area was named Secunderabad after the then Nizam, Sikander Jah. Both Hyderabad and Secunderabad grew together and have now merged. An imaginary line drawn across the Tank Bund is still used to distinguish the two cities.
The City of Hyderabad is famous for its minarets and its pearl bazaar. Pearl from all over the world are said to come to Hyderabad because the artisans here are skilled in piercing and stringing pearls without damaging them. The city's gypsy tribes called "Lambadas" and "Banjaras" are known throughout the country for their colorful costumes - and Hyderabadi cuisine is much sought after.
Hyderabad is at an altitude of 536 meters with the mean summer temperature going up to a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius and the minimum average temperature being around 22 degrees. The maximum winter temperature is around 22 with the minimum going down to around 12 degrees. Light woolens are required during early mornings and late evenings.
Culture of Hyderabad
The infamous Hyderabadi pearl Culture. Who hasn't heard about the soft, rounded, luminescent, tear drop pearl of Hyderabad. People form everywhere flock here to possess a few of these pearls. But why Hyderabad? It neither is on the sea coast nor near to it. Yet it has become almost synonymous with pearls. It is because of the city's grand and very old history. Hyderabad was a princely state and a very rich one too! The royal patronage saw to the burgeoning growth of arts, crafts and cuisine. Their rich life-styles beckoned many a craftsman from distant parts of the world, especially the Arabian Gulf where the rare original pearls are found in abundance. Hence, Hyderabad became the one-stop-destination for pearls. There is an entire street which only comprises of pearl shops - Patther Gatti.
In the land of beautiful women, beautiful poetry, beautiful cuisine and beautiful pearls, one more can be added to the beautiful string, i.e. Beautiful bangles. Down the centuries, the lure of bangles still persists in the hearts of millions of women who love to adorn their arms with a dazzling set of Hyderabadi bangles. There are about 450 shops flanking either side of the world famous Charminar with around 2500 craftsmen weaving their magic around your arms. These bangles are so very purse and are of high quality too.

“24-years back I took notice of an age-old coin in my puja room and immediately handed it over to my friend Abdul wali khan, keeper of ancient coins in the Hyderabad museum, that analysis made me a Numismatist too” says Dr. D. Raja Reddy an eminent Neurosurgeon of International reputation.
khojhyderabad.com proudly presents the profile of the renowned Neurosurgeon Dr. D Raja Reddy who not only won the Rajiv Ratna Ratna Award for medicine in 1993 but also doing tremendous work in the field of Numismatics.
Neurology and Numismatics are two entirely different areas of research, Dr. Raja Reddy took it is a challenge, has been successfully carrying out surgeries to save the patients and also carrying out research on ancient coins in order to dig out the astonishing facts to enlighten the people regarding the greatness of our culture, heritage & technological developments and very useful for the reconstruction of our ancient Indian history
Dr. D. Raja Reddy an eminent Neurosurgeon of International reputation, born in November 18, 1938 at Jangampally Village of Nizamabad Dist., Andhra Pradesh, graduated from Gandhi Medical College, Hyderabad and went on to become a fellow of Royal College of Surgeons (F.R.C.S.,) and fellow of Royal Australian College of Surgeons (F.R.A.C.S.), served as a Director of Nizam Instite Medical Sciences (NIMS) , presently serving as a senior consultant at Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad.
Dr.Raja Reddy successfully performed more than 20,000 surgeries in his 35-years experience as a neurosurgeon. He has held various positions both in private and public health organizations.
He is also a well-known numismologist and authority on Deccan coins. He has written 9 books on ancient coins and more than 25 articles on Numismatics. Presented over 100 papers in national and international conferences.
Regarding the origin of his interest in the field of Numismatics Dr Raja Reddy says it is just a coincidence, “24-years back I took notice of an age-old coin in my puja room and immediately handed Abdul Wali Khan, keeper of ancient coins in the Hyderabad museum, that analysis made me a Numismatist too”.
That incident made me extend my sphere of influence and research towards ancient coins. “The results are amazing” says Dr. Reddy. Since then he started reading extensively and visiting the historical sites to dig out the information of ancient coins.
Click here for Dr.Raja Reddy's exclusive article on "The contribution of coins to the history of our country"
Some of the highlights of his findings are:

Numismatic Society of India is honoring Dr. Raja Reddy with the
MS Rama Rao Medal for his contribution towards the coins of Deccan Kings. He is going to receive the award in Calcutta in the month of February.
Dr Raja Reddy is also the President of the South Indian Numismatic Society. Addressed the International convention of Numismatics in Belgium in the year 1991.
When asked as to how he could strike a balance between the Surgery & Numismatics Dr. Raja Reddy replies ‘I will organize my time”.
As a neurosurgeon I will get involved in diagnosing the patient based on symptoms, and as a Numismatist I will examine the technique of making the coins etc and draw inferences.
So, Dr. Reddy is deeply involved in diagnosing & treating Human beings as well as researching the coins and revealing the secrets of Metals & History to the humanity as a whole.

Neuro- Numismologic surgeon from the Hyderabad city
“24-years back I took notice of an age-old coin in my puja room and immediately handed it over to my friend Abdul wali khan, keeper of ancient coins in the Hyderabad museum, that analysis made me a Numismatist too” says Dr. D. Raja Reddy an eminent Neurosurgeon of International reputation.
khojhyderabad.com proudly presents the profile of the renowned Neurosurgeon Dr. D Raja Reddy who not only won the Rajiv Ratna Ratna Award for medicine in 1993 but also doing tremendous work in the field of Numismatics.
Neurology and Numismatics are two entirely different areas of research, Dr. Raja Reddy took it is a challenge, has been successfully carrying out surgeries to save the patients and also carrying out research on ancient coins in order to dig out the astonishing facts to enlighten the people regarding the greatness of our culture, heritage & technological developments and very useful for the reconstruction of our ancient Indian history
Dr. D. Raja Reddy an eminent Neurosurgeon of International reputation, born in November 18, 1938 at Jangampally Village of Nizamabad Dist., Andhra Pradesh, graduated from Gandhi Medical College, Hyderabad and went on to become a fellow of Royal College of Surgeons (F.R.C.S.,) and fellow of Royal Australian College of Surgeons (F.R.A.C.S.), served as a Director of Nizam Instite Medical Sciences (NIMS) , presently serving as a senior consultant at Apollo Hospitals, Hyderabad.
Dr.Raja Reddy successfully performed more than 20,000 surgeries in his 35-years experience as a neurosurgeon. He has held various positions both in private and public health organizations.
He is also a well-known numismologist and authority on Deccan coins. He has written 9 books on ancient coins and more than 25 articles on Numismatics. Presented over 100 papers in national and international conferences.
Regarding the origin of his interest in the field of Numismatics Dr Raja Reddy says it is just a coincidence, “24-years back I took notice of an age-old coin in my puja room and immediately handed Abdul Wali Khan, keeper of ancient coins in the Hyderabad museum, that analysis made me a Numismatist too”.
That incident made me extend my sphere of influence and research towards ancient coins. “The results are amazing” says Dr. Reddy. Since then he started reading extensively and visiting the historical sites to dig out the information of ancient coins.

Some of the highlights of his findings are:
• Lead coins were issued by Andhra Kings more than 2000 years ago and they look well even today proving that our ancestor’s metallurgical knowledge of lead alloys was commendable.
• Local Coins discovered in Singavaram in Krishna District reveal that it is the exclusive location in Andhra where we find the coins of that sort.

Basheer Bagh, Lal Bahadur Stadium, Hyderguda and KingKothi
Just past Liberty junction and the municipal corporation is the broad road leading all the way to Charminar. The roads to the New MLA quarters lead off to the west, while on the left is Lady Hydari Club.It was originally the horse stables of a feudal estate. Just beyond the Club is Gandhi Medical College and a series of newer buildings with fancy facades and glass fronts. Behind is another old landmark of Hyderabad--Skyline theatre. A greek-roman columned building some distance off used to house the Andhra Patrika but now government offices have taken up residence.
Then comes Basheer Bagh crossroads....a long new flyover, in fact. Closeby is the Lal Bahadur Stadium known to cricket fans all over. All of the hyderabad cricketers have learnt their craft here right from Abidali to Jaisimha to Azharuddin. Now the sport has become even more popular. Earlier good players could expect a job in the government or railways or bank ... now they aspire to grin for TV commercials all the way to the bank. Even girls have taken to cricket in a big way. In the grounds is also a indoor stadium which is the venue for badminton etc. On the other side is Fateh Maidan Club. There are also tennis courts, and outside is a swimming pool with a characteristic clock tower.
Opposite the stadium to the south is an ancient govenment building. The road leads to the Public Gardens to the west. A small leafy street called Chapel Road branches off to the the land of schools.

AP government converts jail into hospital
Nadamuni Sridhar
The Government of Andhra Pradesh at a high-level cabinet meeting chaired by the chief minister has decided to allot 17 acres of prime land in the Musheerabad Jail Complex at Hyderabad for the construction of Gandhi Hospital and an associated Gandhi Medical College. While no doubt it will render the AP exchequer poorer by Rs 44 crore for construction, the move was a welcome development in the otherwise bleak scenario of government hospitals in AP.
A visit to the public hospitals Osmania and Gandhi Hospital at their present location, is an eye-opener for the appaling state of patient care facilities and the devil-may-care attitude of the hospital staff, while the corporate hospitals deliver the goods in their five-star outfits, for a hefty price though.
The government of AP is keen at least now to improve the tarnished image of government hospitals. The CM says, ‘‘The Rs 40 crore loan from Hyderabad Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO) will be used to equip the proposed hospital with state-of-the-art facilities so it could become a role model for other government hospitals. “The new hospital will in all probability have 2000 beds, up from the current 1100. As per the Medical Council of India guidelines, the hospital and the medical college will be in the same premises.”
The govt. move has come after much agony for the public and hospital staff alike after 204 days of agitation by the doctors and paramedical staff of the Gandhi Hospital (the Public Accounts Committee saw the writing on the wall to recommend shifting onto the jail premises). In fact, the decision to build anew was taken by the late CM, N T Rama Rao, whereas his son-in-law, the current CM had other ideas to build a shopping mall instead, at the cost of healthcare. But then, wisdom prevailed at the end of the day even as the jail had no problems shifting on to the outskirts at Cherlapally village.

Naidu repeats father-in-law’s hospital act
Wednesday, June 20 2001 10:03 Hrs (IST)
Hyderabad: More than 14 years after the then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh N T Rama Rao laid the foundation stone for a hospital-cum-medical college, his successor and son-in-law N Chandrababu Naidu performed a repeat act for the same project at the same venue, in the compound of the Musheerabad central jail.
[an error occurred while processing this directive] The stone for the Gandhi Hospital and Medical College laid by late N T Rama Rao on May 1, 1987, is barely 300 yards from the one laid by Naidu on June 19 in the premises of the sprawling prison located in the heart of the city.
The stone laid by NTR, measuring more than six into five feet, dwarfs the one laid by his son-in-law and reflects the late leader's personality in more than one way. Only two other names, that of the then Health Minister M S S Koteshwar Rao and Secretary (Health)Dr P L Sanjeeva Reddy, find a place on the plaque.
The old stone, which is at the southeastern part of the jail campus, next to the abandoned staff quarters, is still in good shape and the Telugu letters could be read very easily.
In contrast the stone laid by Naidu, on the northeastern side, is only three-into- four-and-half-feet and is entirely in English. In what can be construed a reflection of the times, the new stone has the names of as many as 10 politicians.
Besides Naidu's name, those mentioned include a Central minister, four state ministers, three members of Parliament and a member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Talasani Srinivas Yadav, who presided over the function. In addition names of five officials including state Health Secretary C Arjun Rao also figure.
The stage for the function was set in such a way that all those on the platform had their back to the stone laid by Rama Rao and the dais itself blocked the view of the old stone for the audience.

Naidu vows to improve healthcare services
Our Bureau
Hyderabad , Nov. 21
THE Chief Minister, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, on Friday reiterated his Government's commitment to development and improvement in standards of healthcare and called upon the medical professionals to help achieve this vital goal.
Inaugurating a major multi-speciality hospital here on Friday amidst a large gathering of TDP and BJP supporters, Mr Naidu, while reiterating his commitment to improve the quality of life, said, "We can only provide the right infrastructure but it is for you to use it judiciously and maintain it and offer quality services to the people across sections coming from various parts of the State."
The new Gandhi Medical Hospital and College, which includes nursing training facilities, will serve as a monument especially for people in Telangana. These 28 operations theatres have a worldwide, online connectivity, which will enable a specialist from anywhere in the world to provide referral service and guidance for the best treatment possible, he said.
The Rs 100-crore, 1600-bed Gandhi Hospital and Medical College buildings complex, located in a 30-acre site, was created in a record time.
The 152-year-old hospital has about a million sq ft of built-up space, hosting some 29 specialities. This hospital was created in 1851 to look after the British residents of Secunderabad hosting a general, maternity and a ward for paupers.
The new hospital and medical college premises was carved out of the land which hosted the Musheerabad central jail. With the jail being relocated in the outskirts, the land was allotted for the Gandhi hospital complex where the existing hospital and medical colleges have been shifted.
The old hospital complex in Secunderabad, its medical college premises located in the busy Hyderabad shopping area, and another facility at Secunderabad will be sold out to prospective developers and these are likely to pave way for commercial complexes.
The proceeds, thus received, could be redeployed for further expansion of the hospital complex.
The hospital project was executed by the Andhra Pradesh Health and Medical Housing and Infrastructure Development Corporation.

The 152-year-old hospital has about a million sq ft of built-up space, hosting some 29 specialities. This hospital was created in 1851 to look after the British residents of Secunderabad hosting a general, maternity and a ward for paupers.
The new hospital and medical college premises was carved out of the land which hosted the Musheerabad central jail. With the jail being relocated in the outskirts, the land was allotted for the Gandhi hospital complex where the existing hospital and medical colleges have been shifted.
The old hospital complex in Secunderabad, its medical college premises located in the busy Hyderabad shopping area, and another facility at Secunderabad will be sold out to prospective developers and these are likely to pave way for commercial complexes.
The proceeds, thus received, could be redeployed for further expansion of the hospital complex.
The hospital project was executed by the Andhra Pradesh Health and Medical Housing and Infrastructure Development Corporation.
The Gandhi Hospital lacks proper equipment in many departments, including neurology, nephrology, cardiology and gastroenterology as most of them need replacement and are out-dated. As a result, patients coming for routine check-ups have to be referred to other hospitals.
Moreover, the hospital that has 1,012 beds and caters to over 900 out-patients daily, has not more than Rs 30 lakh in the Hospital Development Society Funds for replacement of equipment and has to depend on government support that is not forthcoming.
The cardiology, neurology, nephrology and gastroenterology departments are the wings that need urgent replacement of equipment. However, the heads of department (HOD) have requested the government to sanction Rs 40 crore to buy new machinery.
According to doctors at the hospital, though many patients come for simple tests and scans, they have to be referred private hospitals where charges are higher and to other better equipped government hospitals like Osmania General Hospital due to lack of equipment.
The hospital also needs dialysis machines, as most of the machines are very old. Even ventilators also need to be replaced. Moreover, the hospital does not have a CT scan machine that is essential for investigations in most departments.
According to hospital superintendent Dr C Hari Das, it is not financially feasible for the government or the hospital to replace all the dysfunctional equipment, but priority is being given to equipment that will help improve routine patient care.
Among the list that has been forwarded by the hospital management for replacement are half-a-dozen ventilators, 16 fully equipped surgical operation theatres, six dialysis machines and video endoscopes and a CT scan machine

Gandhi Hospital shifting may miss schedule
By T. Lalith Singh
HYDERABAD Aug. 18. The shifting of the Gandhi Hospital to its new premises at old Musheerabad Jail is likely to miss the schedule. Though work has been progressing at a brisk pace, several glitches and changes in the original plan appear to be delaying the project.
The foundation stone for the hospital and medical college building complex was laid by the Chief Minister, N.Chandrababu Naidu, in June 2001. For the 1,075-bed super speciality hospital, initially a budget of Rs.40 crore was earmarked which had been revised and was now expected to cross the Rs.70-crore mark.
Though the medical and health authorities proposed to ready the hospital in 18 months, Mr.Naidu, while laying the foundation stone, directed them to complete it in 15 months, which meant by September 2002. However, the new hospital doesn't appear to be in a position to meet either the September deadline set by Chief Minister or even the original schedule of December.
While the original plan suggested eight floors for the main hospital building, two more floors were being added now. It was also decided to have a separate block for Out Patient (OP) instead of attaching it to the main complex.
Initially, a 17-acre land was provided for the hospital complex but later it was decided to procure five acres more from the jail authorities for the OP block, parking and quarters. Though an additional budget of Rs.4 crores for outpatient facility and Rs. 26 lakhs for quarters were earmarked, it was said the piece of land was yet to be handed over by the jail authorities. The Gandhi Hospital Superintendent, Dr. Haridas, admits that the budget was released, but he had `not received any communication about handing over the additional five-acre land.'
Officials of the A.P.Health and Medical Housing and Infrastructure Corporation, attributed the delays to the changes in the plans. "Still, we are trying to complete the complex by the year end,'' said Radhakrishna Murthy, superintending engineer.
The hospital staff also complain that decisions on procuring equipment and furniture for the new hospital complex had not yet been made so far. "What we now have is decades-old equipment, most of which is fast turning outdated. If the new complex is being developed on the lines of a super speciality hospital, all the redundant equipment has to be replaced with the latest ones,'' argues a doctor.
Given the cumbersome procedures involved in identifying and procuring new equipment, it was feared the whole process would take a considerable time. The hospital superintendent, while agreeing that most of the present equipment was decades old, said he has no clear guidelines from Government on replacing it. "Whenever the building is ready, I will shift with the equipment and furniture that we presently have. If and when the budget is provided, we will go for the new and latest equipment,'' he added.
