We present a child with both acute appendicitis and torsion of the right testis presenting at the same time. Testicular torsion possibly occurring due to vomiting in acute appendicitis so far has not been reported in the literature.

The inestigation was carried out on the gross and histo-pathological changes that occur due to different protein diet in broilers. A total of 100, day-old broiler chicks were randomly divided into 5 groups having 20 chicks each. The chicks were fed with diets having 10 per cent (group A), 15 per cent (group B), 20 per cent (group C), 30 per cent (group D) and 40 per cent (group E) crude protein for 28 days. Post mortem examination of birds showed that relative weight of kidney was increased in birds of group E on day 28 post feeding. Grossly deposition of urate crystals in visceral organs, petechial haemorrhages and enlargement of kidney were observed. The salient histopathological changes included tophi formation, severe degenerative and necrotic changes in kidney and mild fatty changes and necrosis of hepatocytes in liver. The histopathological changes in heart, spleen and bursa of fabricius in the birds of group E on day 14 were similar to the naturally gout affected birds.

Congenital hypothyroidism (CHT) is one of the most common thyroid disorders. It occurs because of dysgenesis of thyroid gland which is responsible for the normal development of neural system. Child patient suffering from congenital hypothyroidism shows various medical and behavioral symptoms which makes routine dental care very challenging to the pediatric dentist. Due to increased awareness and introduction of neonatal screening, the long term hypothyroidism has become rare. The most significant oral conditions related to these patients are delayed eruption and dental caries. The present case report outlines the dental treatment of a 9yr old girl with congenital hypothyroidism.
