Message by Medical Director
A great treatment offers benefit to an individual
patient and a good hospital should provide such
good treatment to multitude of patients.
A good research offers solutions to millions of
patients across the globe and is a far more
powerful tool for serving patients than just good
treatment alone.
A great hospital must offer quality research and
hence contribute towards improvements in
treatment options.
Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital is committed to
make this transition to a great hospital by
undertaking Clinical Research. As a part of
management of Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital
we are firmly committed to this research endeavor

Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital & Research Center, Pune, India
Introduction:
Over a 4 year period (2006 – 10), 110 patients under went endosonography
(EUS) guided FNAC for suspected / confirmed pancreatic mass lesions on
imaging.
Materials and Methods:
EUS was performed using Fujinon SU7000 EUS system and EG530UT linear
echoendoscope (Fuji film Inc., Japan). After locating the lesion by EUS, FNA
as obtained using 22GEchotip-Ultra needle (Cook, USA). Onsite pathologist
was available in 45 patients, 41% (Group 2) whereas was absent in the
remaining 65, 59% (Group 1).
Results:
Overall accuracy in our series was 89%. Cytopathology in 110
samples revealed 35 (31%) adenocarcinoma, 7 (6%) chronic pancreatitis, 7
(6%) pancreatic TB or tubercular peripancreatic lymph nodes, 4 (4%)
neuroendocrine tumors, 3 (3%) solid pseudo papillary epithelial neoplasm
(SPEN), 3 (3%) mucinous cystadenomas and one patient each of papillary
neoplasm and lymphoma. Cytology was inconclusive in 12 (11%) patients.
Adequate samples but not representing any pathology were obtained in 37
(34%) patients. Inconclusive samples were significantly reduced in Group 2
vs. Group 1 – 4/45 (9%) vs. 17/65 26%), p < 0.05.
Conclusions: Adenocarcinoma was seen only in 31% patients. Benign
conditions were seen in 14%.Surgery could be avoided in 14%
patients. Presence of onsite pathologist significantly improved yield of EUS
guided FNA. Abstract presented as poster during Asia Pacific Digestive Week 2010,

Endoscopic management of pancreatic pseudocysts – just drain the cyst or
combine with ductal therapy? A six years, single center experience of 120
patients
Bapaye Amol, Aher Advay, Gadhikar Harshal, Shimpi Lalit
Department of Digestive Diseases & Endoscopy, Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital &
Research Center, Pune, India
Objectives:
To analyze the results of 120 patients undergoing endoscopic pseudocyst
drainage over a 6 year period (2005-10).
Patients and methods:
Retrospective study. From 2005 to 2010, 120 patients underwent endoscopic
pseudocyst drainage under EUS guidance. Pseudocysts after acute pancreatitis (AP)
constituted 83 (69%), whereas the others 37 (31%) had associated chronic
pancreatitis (CP). After preop abdominal USG and CT scan, EUS guided transmural
drainage with / without balloon dilation of tract or ERCP transpapillary drainage was
performed. Necrosectomy was performed for cysts with solid debris within. A follow up
abdominal USG was performed at 1, 2 and 6 weeks. ERP was performed after 1 -2
weeks. When ductal abnormality was seen, pancreatic stent was placed for 3 – 6
weeks.
Results:
Cyst drainage was successful in 116/120 patients (96.6%). Cyst fluid was turbid in all
83 post AP patients (50, 61% had additional solid debris within cyst), and was clear in
37 patients with CP cysts. Four patients (3.4%) from post AP group had significant
solid debris and were excluded. All other 79 patients with post AP pseudocysts
underwent EUS guided drainage with balloon dilation of tract. Necrosectomy was
performed in 24/79 patients (30%). A median 2 (1-4) sessions were performed.
Subsequent ERP was done in 42 patients (53%). Ductal abnormalities (leak, stricture
or disconnection) were seen in 34/42 patients (81%). Stents were placed in 29/42
(69%) patients. In the CP group, 30/37 patients (81%) underwent EUS guided stent
placement without dilation of tract. One patient (3%) underwent tract dilation as fluid
was turbid. Four patients (11%) underwent EUS guided cyst aspiration followed by
ERP and pancreatic endotherapy. ERP was done in 28/37 (76%) patients. Two
patients underwent transpapillary drainage of cyst. Pancreatic Endotherapy (ESWL for
calculi, stent for stricture) was performed in 23/28 (82%) patients. Remaining 5
patients had ductal disconnection on ERP and could not be offered endotherapy.
Complications were seen in 33/116 (28.4%) patients. Surgical intervention was
needed in 21/120 (17.5%) patients. In the AP group (n=83), post procedure infection
in 18 (21.6%), hemorrhage in 4 (4.8%), residual intra abdominal fluid collections in 6
(7.2%) and death in 4 (4.8%) patients was seen. Cyst recurred in 5/37 (13.5%)
patients in the CP group, 4 treated by repeat endotherapy, one by surgery.
Conclusions:
Turbid fluid and solid debris needing tract dilation and necrosectomy is
frequently seen in cysts after AP. Duct abnormalities or leaks are common in both
groups and should be treated. A combination of cyst drainage and duct
decompression offers an optimum endoscopic approach to management of
pseudocysts.

Endoscopic Stapling System for Trans Oral Treatment of GERD – Three Years
Follow Up
Aviel Roy-Shapira, Amol Bapaye
Objectives / Introduction:
Long Term Efficacy of an endoscopic stapling system for trans oral treatment of
GERD. Between May and October 2007, an IRB approved, pilot study of a new
endoscopic stapling device for the treatment of GERD was conducted on 13
subjects in Pune, India. Subjects with history of PPI use > 2 yr for GERD and no co-
morbidity were included. The device is a modified Gastroscope, which includes a
surgical stapler, that fires a staggered quintuplet of standard titanium B shaped 4.8
mm staples, and an ultrasonic range finder. All procedures were done under general
anesthesia by a single operator. Either 2 or 3 staple quintuplets were used to staple
the fundus to the esophagus, creating a 90-180 degree anterior fundoplication over
the distal 2-3 cm of the esophagus. This is a report of the results of a three year
follow up on this group of subjects.
Methods:
The original Informed consent specified that the subjects may be contacted annually
for 5 years following the study. Accordingly subjects were contacted for a telephone
interview during the first week of October 2010. The following data were collected:
Velanovich GERD-HRQL scores, PPI use, symptoms,
satisfaction with the procedure, and willingness to repeat the procedure again.
Results:
11 of the 13 subjects could be reached by phone. GERD-HRQL scores were less
than 9 or less in 10 subjects and 15 in one subject. The latter subject improved his
score from 29 to 15, in all others score improved by more than 50 %. All subjects
would have agreed to do the procedure again. Mean satisfaction score was 7.7 (6-
10) on a scale of 1 -10. There was no dysphagia. Three subjects resumed PPI
intake, (compared to 2 at the 2 yr follow up) 3 subjects require PPI at a reduced
dose 1 subjects takes PPI only after a large meal and 4 subjects remained
completely off PPI.
Conclusion:
At 3 years, the procedure remained effective in improving the quality of life in
moderate to severe GERD without causing dysphagia. PPI use was eliminated or
reduced in 73% of subjects. All subjects remain satisfied with the procedure and
would do it all over again. Further studies are necessary to validate these data and
determine optimal staple placement.

Esu-guided Therapy For Pancreatic Pseudocysts And Pancreatic Necrosis: An Experience
Of 19 Cases.
Bapaye, Deenanath Mangeshkar Hosppital, Department of Digestive Diseases & &
Endoscopy, Pune, India.
Introduction:EUS-guided pseudocyst drainage is a promising but evolving technique. Major
concerns are diameter of the cystogastrostomy and adequacy of the drainage procedure to
remove solid debris within the cyst cavity. We present our experience in 19 patients with
pancreatic pseudocysts or pancreatic necrosis wherein EUS guided therapy was used.
Methods:From July 2004 to January 2005, 19 patients with pancreatic pseudocysts were
subjected to EUSguided drainage. Seventeen patients had cysts following acute pancreatitis
while 2 after chronic pancreatitis (CP). Eight patients had simple cysts (clear contents) where as
11 had complicated cysts (multiloculated, thick fluid, necrotic debris in floor). Seven patients (all
complicated cysts) had recurrent cysts (surgical cystogastrostomy - 2, ERP + transpapillary
drainage – 2, repeated USG guided aspiration -2, EUS+ transgastric stenting – 1). Associated
sepsis was seen in 7 patients.
All patients underwent diagnostic EUS using a convex linear array echoendoscope followed by
drainage of the collection in the same sitting. Five patients with small cysts (volume <50 mL)
required only aspiration of cyst using a 19 or 22G FNA needle. EUS guided needleknife puncture
followed by guidewire placement into the cyst cavity was performed in 13 patients. In one patient
with a thick cyst wall, puncture was done by a 19G FNA needle followed by guidewire placement
through the needle. Dilatation of the tract up to 18 mm was then performed using an esophageal
dilator balloon over the guidewire. In patients with clear cyst contents, a Fr. Double pigtail stent
was placed across the fistula into the cavity. In patients with complicated cysts, agastroscope was
passedtransgastrically into the cyst cavity (Cystendoscopy). Using a polypectomy snare, septae
were broken, loose necrotic debris was removed from the cavity by cold snaring technique
(Endoscopic necrosectomy). A 7 Fr. Stent and a 7 Fr. Nasocystic catheter were placed in the
cavity and sterile saline irrigation was performed. Procedure was repeated every 3 days until the
wall looked healthy, USG/CT scan showed no residual
necrosis/collection or cyst cavity had collapsed. Additional ERP was performed in 7 patients
where ductal disruption was suspected (rapid refilling of the cyst, recurrent cysts).
Results:Ductal disruption was seen in 2, unsuspected early CP in 4, classical CP in the patient.
Appropriate endotherapy was performed. Follow up USG was performed at 2 weeks and later as
required. Stents were removed at 8 weeks. USG was repeated at 12 weeks after stent
removal.EUS –guided drainage was achieved in all 19 patients. Complete regression was seen in
8 patients (simple cysts) at 2 weeks, and in 17 and 8 weeks. Therapy failed in one patient who
required surgical
necrosectomy. Complications occurred in two patients (bleeding – 1, death – 1). Bleeding from the
fistula site in one patient after balloon dilatation was arrested using hemoclips. One patient died of
pulmonary embolism 2 weeks after drainage. No recurrence on USG at 12 weeks.
Conclusions:EUS guided therapy is a satisfactory method to treat pancreatic pseudocysts.
Necrotic debris or multiple loculations are not contraindications for endoscopic therapy. An
aggressive approach using balloon dilation and cystendoscopy is necessary to achieve results
comparable to surgery.

INTRODUCTION.
High frequency Oscillatory Ventilation (HFOV) is a promising rescue ventilator
modality in severe ARDS. Other modalities available for these patients are NO
inhalation, ECMO or Prone ventilation. Various outcome predictors of HFOV in
severe ARDS studied so far are APACHE II score, duration of conventional
ventilation before HFOV, pulmonary or extra pulmonary ARDS and improvement in
oxygenation after HFOV. The purpose of this study was to predict response to
HFOV either before or after its inhalation, so that likely non responder could be
switch to alternative rescue therapies early, to get their benefit. Hence we
retrospectively analysed the outcome predictors of HFOV in Adult ARDS patients.
METHODS
Setting 40 bedded multidisciplinary ICU of tertiary care Hospital in Pune India. HFOV
ventilation ARDS patients receiving Volume controlled Ventilation (VCV) as per the
ARDS protocol with PO2/FiO2 ≤ 150 in spite of PEEP ≥12 cm and FiO2 ≥ 0.7, were
considered for HFOV as rescue therapy. All patients were followed up till discharge
from the hospital (survivors) or death (non survivors).
RESULTS
Data of 39 patients were analysed. There were 12 survivors and 27 non survivors.
Mortality rate of 69.24% was attributable to “Rescue Use” of HFOV and 32 patients
having multiorgan failure Before HFOV. Table 1 and 2 shows parameters evaluated
as outcome predictors. Binary logistic Regression model was used to predict survival
as success full response to HFOV.
Statistical analysis 95% Confidence Interval for odds ratio. P value > 0.005 No
significant relationship of outcome predictors with the log of odds. *P value for
coefficient of “25% reduction in OI at 24 h” is 0.026<0.05, shows that there is
significant relationship of 25% reduction in OI with survival. Odds ratio is a ratio of
probability of survival to probability of death.
CONCLUSION
Reduction of Oxygenation Index by at least 25% within 24h after initiation of HFOV
emerged as a single, statistically significant outcome predictor which could predict
successful response to HFOV in Adult ARDS. Patients in whom this is not achieved
may be switched to alternative rescue therapies.

Introduction
Corneal diseases constitute a significant cause of visual impairment & blindness
in developing countries like India.
Objective
To study the awareness, knowledge and practice for Eye Donation in various
groups viz. Donor’s relatives, Prospective donors, Doctors, Relatives of Blind
person and General Population.
Methodology
Sample was collected from Deenanath Mangeshakar Hospital OPDs & vicinity of
Pune. Personal Data Sheet and a Questionnaire was filled in by the sample
(adults only). This questionnaire included the questions that could throw light on
the awareness, knowledge of eye donation of the individual who filled in the form.
Awareness score was calculated on the basis of three common questions.
Awareness score range was 0 to 4. Awareness score greater than 1 was
considered as cut off point for awareness and no awareness. Means, Standard
Deviations & Z values were calculated. Various groups were compared.
Results
General Population (11.13%) and Blinds’ Relatives (57.89%) groups have people
with ‘lack of awareness’ while in remaining three groups there is 100% awareness
about eye donation. Medical Professionals have highest Awareness and Blinds’
relatives have lowest awareness about eye donation. Donor’s relatives,
Prospective donors and General Population fall in between. The Z values of
successive groups show that the groups have significant difference in their
awareness score.
Suggestions
To create awareness among the Younger Population (next to kin).
Special campaign should be conducted for Medical Professionals / Para medicals
/ Priests (conducting the last rituals) can be more instrumental for the motivation
of relatives to donate eyes after the death of the patient.
Simulation of a colorectal polypoid lesion- a pilot porcine model
Doron Kopelman, MD, Amir Szold, MD, Yael Kopelman, MD, Alexander Geller,
MD, Shlomo Lelcuk, Amol Bapaye, Peter D. Siersema, Afula, Haifa, Tel Aviv,
Hadera, Petah Tiqva, Israel, Pune, India, Utrecht, The Netherlands
BACKGROUND:
Large sessile polyps almost always contain villous tissue with appreciable
premalignant potential and tend to recur locally after colonoscopic resection.
Developing new endoscopic techniques for the removal of polyps requires a large
animal model of colorectal polypoid lesions. So far, no appropriate large animal
model of a colorectal or other GI polyp has been described in the English literature.
OBJECTIVE:
Our purpose was to develop a large animal model simulating large, perfused and
viable, sessile colorectal polypoidal lesions, with distinct easily detectable histologic
features.
SETTING: An animal laboratory.
INTERVENTIONS:
Two simulated rectal polyps, using 2 different techniques, were created in
each of 10 animals. The polyps were simulated by ovarian tissue that was introduced
either intraluminally through the rectal wall or into a dissected submucosal space in
the rectal wall. In 2 animals the created polyps were endoscopically resected.
RESULTS:
All submucosal lesions were sessile-like polypoid lesions because the base of the
polyp was the widest diameter of the lesion. All transmural polypoid lesions had short
and thick pedicles. Resection by snaring and cutting was demonstrated to be
feasible.
The mean measurements of the submucosal-simulated
polyps were as follow: 1.74 cm (+/-0.32) * 2.07 cm (+/-0.42) * 1.51 cm (+/-0.27). The
mean measurements of the transmural-simulated polyps were significantly larger:
2.55 cm (+/-0.52) * 3.57 cm (+/-1.1) * 2.7 cm (+/-0.64).
LIMITATION:
This model does not simulate a real intestinal neoplasia.
CONCLUSION:
Either method, the submucosal or the transmural, could be helpful in the research
and development efforts of surgical and endoscopic treatments of intestinal
polyps.

INTRODUCTION
Drotrecogin alpha (DA) is an effective treatment in sepsis induced Multi Organ
Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS) especially in the presence of Septic Shock (SS)
Optimum duration of treatment of DA is 96 h infusion. Cost of DA infusion for 96 h is
average INR 480,000 (Euro7680) in India , whereas the average cost of 8 days of
ICU treatment of a patient with sepsis with MODS, including bed charges , organ
support therapies, drugs , laboratory investigations and consultation fees is
approximately INR 120,000 (Euro 1920). Thus the cost of 24 h infusion of DA is
approximately equal to 8 day cost of standard ICU care. It is unclear whether
stopping DA before 96 h , in patients in whom SS resolves before 96h ultimately
affects outcome. This is more relevant in developing countries like India where cost
of 96 h of infusion of DA is beyond the reach of majority of patients
eligible for DA . We performed a prospective study to evaluate this concept.
METHODS
During the period of June 2006 to December 2008 patients with severe sepsis
having ≥ 2 organ Dysfunction (O.D.) were offered the option of DA as an adjunct
therapy for those who opted for it , DA infusion was initiated within 24 h of onset of
SS DA infusion was stopped before completion of 96 h. Other ICU care was provided
as per contemporary standard of care . All these patients were hemodynamically
monitored in the ICU after stopping the Infusion.
Results
172 patients with severe sepsis having ≥ 2 Organ Dysfunction , were offered the
option of DA. 18 patients opted for it . In 13 out of these 18 patients DA infusion
could be stopped before 96 h assuming complete reversal of septic shock. Their data
were analysed in this study . Average APACHE II and SAPS II scores were 22.23 ±
3.87 and 53.92 ± 14.45 respectively 11 out of 13 patients were discharged home
after complete recovery. Shock did not reappear in the subsequent 72 h in any of
the 13 patients . Two patients developed new episode of ventilatory Associated
Pneumonia on day 4 and 10 respectively after stopping the infusion of DA and could
not be salvaged.
CONCLUSION
DA infusion can be safely stopped before completion of 96 h in patients who show
rapid reversal of SS . This is associated with significant cost saving without
compromising the outcome or quality of care.

INTRODUCTION.
Use of stroke volume variation (SVV) to guide fluid therapy in preload responsive state
has been studied well in patients undergoing cardiac or neurosurgery during
anesthesia. Use of this dynamic monitoring variable has not been studied much in
septic shock. We undertook this prospective study to evaluate utility of SVV to optimize
preload in patients with septic shock and ARDS.
METHODS.
Setting. 40 bedded medical surgical ICU of a 350 bedded tertiary care centre in Pune,
India.Inclusion Criteria:
1.Patients with ARDS (PO2/FiO2 200),
2.Septic shock of duration 24 h needing vasopressors; either Dopamine >= 10µg/(kg
min) or norepinephrine 0.1 µg/(kg min)to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP)
above 65 mm of Hg.3.CVP attained >15 mm prior to enrollement4.SVV 13%
Exclusin Criteria (a) Atrial or ventricular arrhythmias b.Non requirement of controlled
invasive mechanical ventilation c.Acute coronary syndromed. Need for any form of
renal replacement therapy e. Prone position ventilation or extra corporeal life support
for ARDS.SVV readings were taken every 3 h with Flotrac – Vigileo system after
Confirming abolishment of spontaneous breaths by sedation or paralysis and
increasing tidal volume transiently to 8ml/kg. Fluid boluses were given to keep
SVV<13% for 24h after enrollment. Attempts were made to reduce vasopressor doses
keeping MAP 70mmHg.
RESULTS.
20 patients with average age 57.9 ± 16.55 years and APACHE II score
22.2 ± 5.14 were studied. Each patient received an average 6.22 ± 2.54 fluids in 24 h
after enrollment to keep SVV below 13%. SVV at 24 h after was 10.1 ± 6.13%.
Improvement in microcirculation was evident as Plasma lactate reduced from 5.43 ±
3.64 (at o h) to 3.09 ± 2.78 mmol/l (at 24 h ) There was no worsening in pulmonary
edema as PO2/FiO2 increased from 165.3 ± 106.1 (at o h) to 224 ± 100.66 (at 24 h).
Only 6 out of 20 patients needed Renal Replacement Therapy. In 13 patients,
vasopressors could be stopped completely in 49.7 ± 19.02 h. 12 of them survived till
discharge from the ICU and 1 died of ARDS. In 7 patients, vasopressors could not be
weaned off completely and all of them succumbed. Overall survival rate was 60%.
CONCLUSION.
SSV guided fluid therapy is a promising modality for pre load optimiozation in
mechanically ventilated patients with septic shock and ARDS.
‘A study of bacterial monitoring of air in the laminar
air flow operation theatre using an air sampling machine - its role in ccurrence
of or prevention of infection in prosthetic replacement arthroplasties’.
Principle investigators:- 1) Dr. Mahesh Kulkarni (Consultant surgeon, orthopedics,
DMH) 2) Dr. Sampada Patwardhan (Consultant Microbiologist, DMH)
Co investigators:- Dr. Hemant Wakankar (Consultant Surgeon, orthopedics, DMH)
Research associate:-Dr. Sinu Bhaskaran
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:-
Superficial and deep infections in prosthetic replacement
arthoplasties are a result of microorganisms present in the operation theatre air and
infection rates correlate with the no. of bacteria in the vicinity of the operative wound.
As few as 10 bacteria (colony forming units i.e. CFU) are sufficient to cause deep
infections in implanted joints. Our study was planned with an intention of carrying out
a proper scientific investigation into the effect of the bacterial load in the
perioperative field on the occurrence of infections in implanted prosthetic joints.
Monitoring the bacterial counts indicates the effectiveness of the laminar air flow
HEPA ventilation system and use of total body occlusive suits in minimizing the in
bacterial counts in the perioperative field.
MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY:-
100 total Hip/knee replacement surgeries carried in O.T. NO- 6 will be included in the
study. Samples of air are taken from the perioperative field i.e. within the laminar air
flow zone at three stages during the surgery a) before the incision is taken b) during
the operative procedure c) immediately after final closure of the wound. 10,000 liters
of air is sampled onto blood agar petri plates at each stage using an air sampler.
(company HiMedia, Model La030) The blood agar petri plates are incubated for 24
hours at 370C and total no of CFU/m3 of air is calculated. The results are noted on
the procedure record form and reported as satisfactory / not satisfactory using 10
cfu/m3 as the acceptable safe limit. Follow up of the patients for surgical site
infection will be done for 1 year post op.
