Abstract: One of the important critical care nursing skills is monitoring ECG. It can provide evidence to support a diagnosis, and it is crucial for patient management by helping in diagnosing the abnormal cardiac rhythm.In potentially life threatening situations, the nurse is expected to interpret the rhythm accurately and respond appropriately. To do this the nurse must be well educated in rhythm interpretation. The present study was carried out with the objectives to assess the knowledge of nursing students in ECG monitoring and interpretation,to assess the skill in interpreting ECG among nursing students,to determine the effectiveness of teaching program on ECG monitoring and interpretation, to find out the association between knowledge on ECG monitoring and interpretation andvariables,to find out the association between the skill in interpreting ECG and the variables and to determine the relationship between knowledge and skill of nursing students in ECG monitoring and interpretation.

Abstract: Accessory breast is the presence of breast tissue at any part of the body except the normal breast region. Ectasia of the breast is a condition where the lactiferous ducts are blocked by secretions. Both accessory breast and duct ectasia are very common entities presenting separately but coexistence is rarity with a normal breast finding. In this case report, a 24-year-old female presented with bilateral painful axillary mass of 3 months duration which was excised is presented. Gross examination showed fibrofatty tissue with few areas of fibrosis while microscopic examination revealed breast tissue with duct ectasia. This case is reported for its rarity and to give clinicians a differential diagnosis of simultaneous coexistence of accessory breast with duct ectasia with a normal breast finding and a review of relevant aspects of duct ectasia is also included.

Abstract:Prospective study of 26 patients of proximal humeral fracture admitted in the Department of Orthopaedics between June 2011 to December 2013 whether treated by conservative or surgical method were included in the study. Patients were evaluated for functional result by using The Swanson Shoulder Score and Constant Scoring System (Modified). Final outcome as per Swanson's Shoulder score and modified Constant score was maximum in surgically managed group. With good success rate the indications of operative treatment must be adhered to. The successful results can be attributed to early surgery, good preoperative planning, minimal soft tissue dissection, stable reduction; supervised postoperative exercise and regular follow up.

Abstract: Aim: To three dimensionally compare the homogeneity of root canals obturated with three different thermoplasticized obturating systems using Spiral Computed Tomography Materials and Methods: 30 single rooted premolars were collected and decoronated, the root canals were prepared by using rotary files. The roots were randomly allocated into 3 groups, and each group was obturated by using three different thermoplasticized obturation systems namely Obtura III, Calamus Dual 3D and BeeFill 2 in1 .The specimens were then analysed in both horizontal and vertical sections from the apex to the cemento-enamel junction of each specimens with section thickness of 0.6mm using Spiral Computed tomography. All the experimental groups were compared statistically using ONE WAY ANOVA test & the sub groups were compared using TUKEYS HSD test. The results showed no significant difference between the homogeneity of the obturation among the groups both in horizontal and vertical sections. Conclusion: Obturation done with any of the three thermoplasticized obturation system does not compromise in obtaining apical seal when properly used.

Key words: Obtura III, Calamus Dual 3D, Bee Fill 2 in 1, Spiral Computed Tomography, Homogeneity.
