Abstract: Internal jugular vein (IJV) is carrying more importance in the era of critical care for various life saving interventions. Cannulation of this vein is mainly carried out in developing countries by anatomical landmark guidance. Hence this study is aimed on the anatomical variations of IJV in cannulating position. This
INTRODUCTION: Extensive intraductal carcinoma is proposed for tumors in which the intraductal component comprises 25% or more of the area encompassed by the infiltrating tumor.(1). Ductal carcinoma in Situ with a micro invasive component accounts for less than 1% of all breast cancers and 13.5% of all DCIS have a
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Incisional hernia is a common complication of abdominal surgery and an important source of morbidity. A wide spectrum of surgical techniques has been developed ranging from suturing techniques to the use of various types of prosthetic mesh repair. Use of preperitoneal mesh repair technique showed reduced number of
ABSTRACT: Introduction: A medical record is a systematic documentation of a patient’s medical history and future care for medico-legal use. A poor medical record maintenance can negatively affect patient care and safety. This study aims to assess the proper maintenance of medical records in Victoria Hospital, a tertiary care teaching
Abstract: Analyzing antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Uropathogens helps to overcome the therapeutic difficulties created by the emerging antimicrobial resistant bacteria and guides in choosing appropriate empirical therapy. The aim of the study is to understand the susceptibility patterns of the uropathogens which assists in choosing the empirical therapy for UTI.
Abstract: Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly. It consists of a ring of pancreatic tissue partially or completely encircling the descending part of the duodenum. Previously the condition was detected either during surgery or autopsy. With the improvements achieved in imaging techniques the diagnosis of annular pancreas in adults
Abstract: Failure of the closure of two halves of the frontal bone even after the childhood is known as metopic suture. The time of the closure of metopic suture varies from one to eight years and it can persist until adult age. This study was carried out on 160 adult
Abstract: Superoxide dismutase is antioxidant enzyme responsible for the quenching of superoxide radicals which are released during the chemical reactions of the various metabolic pathways. It is a non-heme protein. Different iso-enzymes of superoxide dismutase are described. The mitochondrial enzyme is manganese dependent, cytoplasmic enzyme is copper-zinc dependent. These enzymes
Abstract: Context: Acne vulgaris is the most common psychologically distressing skin disorder which is treated with indiscriminate use of oral and topical antibiotics mainly targeted against the anaerobic organism Propionibacterium acnes,without much consideration given to other causative micro-organisms. Objectives: This study was therefore undertaken to isolate the probable aerobic organisms
Abstract: Background: Filariasis leads to irreversible chronic manifestations, which are responsible for social stigma besides causing considerable economic loss and severe physical disability to the affected individuals. Mass drug administration (MDA) against filariasis means administration of DEC tablets to all people (excluding children < 2 years, pregnant women, seriously ill
