Abstract: Introduction: C-Arm Use In Orthopaedic Surgery Is Increasing Rapidly As Surgery Transitions To Minimal-Access Surgery. With Less Direct Visualization, Surgery Is Being Conducted With Fluoroscopic Guidance. Fluoroscopy Is The Heart Of The Most Of Interventional Procedures, Where Prolong Lower Intensity Beam Is Used. The Number Of Orthopedic Procedures Requiring The Use Of Fluoroscopic Guidance Has Increased Over The Recent Years . It Is Now Accepted That Closed Operative Procedures Are The Treatment Of Choice In Many Types Of Complex Fractures Because Of Their Lower Infection And, Smaller Incision Wounds And Relatively Low Morbidity At Implant Removal. Interventional Procedures Considered The Medical Imaging Exposures, Imparting The Highest Radiation Doses To The Patients..........

Abstract: Background: Stress is a common concept that is experienced by everyone. Previous studies have demonstrated relationship between stress and health related issues. One of the instruments that have been developed to measure stress level is the perceived stress score (PSS). This study was designed to use this scale to measure the level of stress among the study population and identify any stress related factor in their characteristics and make appropriate recommendation.........

Abstract: Breast is an organ which undergoes cyclical changes under the influence of various hormones throughout a woman's reproductive life. It was observed in some studies on breast disorders that more attention is devoted to the histopathological characteristics of the lesion with little discussion of the clinical perspectives. The vast majority of the lesions that occur in the breast are benign but in the present modern time the incidence of breast cancer is on the rise. Upto 30% of women suffer from some benign breast disorders and this compels them to seek treatment......

Abstract: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease globally affecting 9.2 million people and 2 million in India per year. Each smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patient can infect approximately 10-15 persons per year. The problem of drug defaulter has been commonly observed wherever prolonged therapy has to be given. In tuberculosis, non adherence to prescribed treatment can lead to drug resistance and treatment failure while the patient continues to transmit infection......

Abstract: Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of treatment regimens with a combination of Latanoprost with Timolol versus Timolol in patients of primary open angle glaucoma.

Methods: This 12 months, randomized prospective clinical trial consisted of 96 eyes of 50 patients with primary open angle glaucoma(POAG) or ocular hypertension(OHT), categorised as Group A consisting 48 eyes and group B consisting 48 eyes. Patients of group A were given a Latanoprost 0.005% with timolol 0.5% once daily and group B were given timolol 0.5% twice daily.
