Colombo, 1990) Fernando, D.N.; Rajapaksa, L.C.Item An index to Ceylon Journal of Medical Science II(The Sri Lanka Medical Association. Colombo, 1994) Yapa, A.G.S.Item SA nodal artery - its origin in relation to the dominancy of coronary arteries(The Sri Lanka Medical Association. Colombo, 1994) Gajamange, N.; Perera, J.Eighty hearts were dissected and the right and left coronary arteries, posterior interventricular branch and the sinuatrial nodal artery were identified. 'Dominancy' of the coronary arteries was determined according to the origin of the posterior interventricular branch. The origin of the sinuatrial nodal artery was analysed in relation to the 'dominancy' of the coronary arteries.Item The role of adenosine in regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle blood flow during exercise. an overview(Faculty of Medicine. Colombo, 1997) Gunawardena, I.P.Item Randomized clinical trial of acyclovir plus prednisone versus prednisone alone in Bell's palsy(Faculty of Medicine.

Colombo, 1996) Gunawardena, R.H.; Athithan, T.; Brabaharan, M.Twelve patients with unilateral pulmonary contusion following blunt chest trauma received conventional mechanical ventilation for hypoxae respiratory distress syndrome developd in all patient resulting in prolonged ventilator therapy. Conventional ventilatory supprot was not successful in reducing mobidity. The optimum pattern of mechanical ventilation in pulmonary contusion remains controversial. Split lung ventilation with selective seperate tidal volumes and positive end expiratory pressure has shown encouraging results in some studies. Alternative treatment modalities are necessary to salvage oxygenation and reduce morbility in these patients.Item Neonatal conjunctivitis. aetiology, diagnosis and treatment(Faculty of Medicine. Colombo, 1996) Perera, J.; Witana, N.; Seneviratne, H.R.In a case control study of 426 unselected deliveries at the De Soysa Hospital for Women, 85(20perc.) infants had conjuctivitis. Chlamydia species and viruses were not detected. Staphylococcus aureus was the commonest pathogen isolated and was detected in 47perc. of cases. Klebsiella spp was isolate from 27perc. Pseudomonas spp. Streptococcus viridana and coliform isolation rates were not significantly different to that of controls, although significantly higher counts of bacteria were found in the cases. Therefore it would be more useful to the clinician if the laboratory report indicated the severity of infection. Only 51perc. of the isolates were sensitive to the conventionally use antibiotic, chloramphenicol. Treatment with salin washes appear to be sufficient in the first few days of the illness as there is spontaneous resolution of clinical appearence within 48-72 hr in a majority of patients
