The pathogenesis remains incompletely understood and there is no specific treatment. Efforts are ongoing to understand aspects of intestinal immaturity which contribute to susceptibility to this disease. This review focuses on bacterial colonization patterns, intestinal barrier function, and inflammatory responses of immature enterocytes leading to a unique vulnerability of the preterm gut. In addition the possible therapeutic potential of factors in human milk and probiotic bacteria is discussed.

However, our hospital being in a rural area attracts a large number of patients with complex malformations. Method: This retrospective analysis is done to evaluate diagnostic accuracy, safety and efficacy and outcomes of open lung resections at a rural hospital. Results: 16 children with congenital lung malformation underwent open resection in a rural hospital, with no mortality and minimal morbidity, no complications and more than 24 months follow-up. Conclusion: Open lung resections are found to be safe, effective in a rural setting also.

Evidence is information in support of a hypothesis. Scientific theories and rules have exceptions, considered as special cases. A theory that explains special cases is a better theory. Einstein’s general theory of relativity was verified on the basis of observations and it clarified special cases of Newton’s theory of gravity. Hard science works with hard facts. Hard facts prove hypotheses right or wrong. Scientific theories of biology and medicine are based on soft facts, thus need soft evidences. Observer bias enters in physics experiments too. It enters even more in biological observations. It can be fallacious to depend too much upon evidence in soft sciences.

options available these days. Each technique has its unique set of
difficulties and complications. Anesthesia technique has to be chosen depending upon type of surgery, condition of patient, duration
of surgery, safety, and finally cost. It should be possible to select a
technique which provides optimum effect at the least possible cost,
without compromising safety at any point.
