Abstract:
A 22-year male presented in outpatient department with right sided proptosis and chemosis, after a roadside accident two months back. He was on treatment for orbital cellulitis and taking steroids with antibiotics, both orally and topically. He was also on topical antiglaucoma agents. Detailed examination revealed bruit on auscultation. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), dilated superior ophthalmic vein led to diagnosis of caroticocavernous fistula (CCF) and the patient was referred to Neurosurgery Department of Lahore General Hospital (LGH), Lahore, where digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and balloon catheterization by a radiologist in the same sitting, resulted in successful closure of fistula and amelioration of all the signs and symptoms within six weeks.

The statement can be further generalized to prove that entropy is a state function. Take a cyclic process between any two points on a p-V diagram.
Types of Chemical Reactions: Exchange and Reversible
A special kind of exchange reaction is the oxidation-reduction reaction, or the redox reaction. These reactions involve the transfer of electrons from one compound to another. The electrons in these reactions commonly come from hydrogen atoms, which consist of an electron and a proton. A molecule gives up a...
