Abstract: The purpose of this study was to measure some cytomorphometric parameters in different female uterine cervical conditions to study the progression of pathology from normal to neoplastic conditions. Using a computerised cytomorphometric cellmeasurement pro- gram, the study was based on a cross sectional study of smear cases diagnosed with different uterine cervical conditions from 2012 to 2014.From different kinds of microscopic image ( bright field microscopy), 100 pictures of normal cells and 100 pictures of pathological cells are selected. Then some cytoplasmic and nuclear parameters(Area, Perimeter, Convex area, Eccentricity, Major axis length, Minor axis length, Equivalent diameter) are assessed...........

Abstract: Bee stings are commonly encountered worldwide. Various manifestations after bee sting have been described1. Local reactions are common. Unusually, manifestations like vomiting, diarrhoea, dyspnoea, generalised oedema, acute renal failure, hypotension and collapse may occur. Rarely vasculitis, serum sickness, neuritis and encephalitis have been described which generally develop days to weeks after a sting. Acute coronary syndromes after hymenoptera stings and other environmental exposures are referred to as the Kounis syndrome or allergic myocardial ischaemia and infarction. The three variants of Kounis syndrome...........

Abstract: Anticoagulation after mechanical heart valve replacement is indispensable to prevent valve thrombosis and it's consequences. At the same time, excess dosing leads to complications related to bleeding. One of our patients who underwent double valve replacement for infective endocarditis lost to the follow up after 5 months of surgery then he turned back after 11 years with history of discontinuing anticoagulants. International normalised ratio (INR) was 0.97. Further evaluation revealed normally functioning mechanical mitral and aortic valve (Medtronic tilting disc).

Abstract: Background: Squamous cell carcinoma is commonest histologic variant of carcinoma of esophagus (ESCC). It is predominant in developing countries and usually has a poor prognosis, because of its advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. Understanding the prognostic factors helps in selection of the most appropriate surgical approach in order to select patient for target directed therapies. HER-2/neu (C-erbB-2), member of human epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) is important, as it plays a crucial role in therapeutic implications of esophageal carcinoma. Considering the importance of c-erbB-2 expression and its prognostic significance in esophageal cancer, this study was undertaken.............

Abstract: General anesthesia is a dynamic balance between the level of hypnosis, analgesia, and stimulation. It is usually defined as a triad of amnesia, analgesia, and muscle relaxation. Inhaled volatile anaesthetics remain the most widely used drugs for maintenance of general anesthesia because of their predictable intraoperative and recovery characteristics. Management of haemodynamic stability and early recovery is the most important part of a standardized balanced technique. The aim of this study is to prospectively compare the hemodynamic, emergence and recovery characteristics of sevoflurane with that of desflurane in general anesthesia............

Abstract: Background: Hypertension is a recognized cause of chronic kidney disease. Hypertension in blacks is most important because it is volume dependent and its ensuing renal complication. The widely accepted marker to assess renal function is creatinine and its estimated glomerular filtration rate. However, this is limited in assessing early renal impairment. This necessitate a need to evaluate other renal markers such as cystatin C. Objective: To measure and compare serum cystatin C and creatinine for early renal impairment among hypertensive patients on treatment.........

Abstract: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is now considered as the standard treatment for large and complex renal stones. The outcomes of PCNL can be interpreted in terms of success and complication rates. Recent attempts to report complication rates of PCNL have focused on stratifying them by severity by use of the Clavien Dindo grading system. The Guy's Stone Score (GSS) used to classify the burden of stones. This was a prospective study conducted by the department of Urology, NIMS hospital, Jaipur. In study of 508 PCNL cases, overall stone free status achieved in 88..............

Abstract: Background: Pregnancy weight gain and retention of gained weight following delivery is of great concern as regards to maternal obesity and its associated health risks. The influence of the length of inter-pregnancy interval on maternal weight outcomes, following delivery, is unknown. Aim: The prospective study aims to investigate the effect of inter-pregnancy interval on postpartum weight loss
in Nigerian women. Subjects and Methods: A total of 80 pregnant women in labour were recruited based on a set criteria and anthropometric measurements were taken within 24 hours of delivery then repeated 6 weeks after........

Abstract: Sacrum is formed by the fusion of five Sacral vertebrae and forms the lower part of Vertebral column. The opening present at the lower end of Sacral canal is known as Sacral hiatus. Anatomical variations, Morphology and Morphometry of Sacral hiatus are important clinically as well as surgically1. This study was carried out on 75 dry human sacra of unknown sex to know different features of Sacrum, anatomical variations of sacrum and to study the variations of sacral hiatus........

Abstract: Introduction:FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) is done via endoscope and the area is highly vascular thus it becomes important to minimize bleeding. Hence we require hypotensive anesthesia. Various drugs have been used for the purpose: nitroglycerine (NTG), sodium nitroprusside(SNP),propofol,beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, higher concentrations of inhalational anesthetics etc. Since all these drugs have certain limitations there was a search for safer and more effective drug .Dexmedetomidine, a newer alphaadrenoceptor agonist,fulfills this requirement since it is short acting, has no residual effects, produces
sedation and analgesia and reduces mean arterial pressure thereby reducing intraoperative blood loss............

Abstract: There is an alarming rise in the incidence and mortality of myocardial infarction. In the context of management of myocardial infarction there are few strategies and indicators to risk stratify patients. Taking the hypothesis that platelets produced during an acute thrombotic event is larger and aggressive we studied the relationship between platelet distribution width (which is a more specific marker of platelet size variation) and the success of thrombolysis in patients with STEMI treated with streptokinase as evidenced by ST segment resolution in ECG after thrombolysis (an ST segment resolution of more than 50% after 60 minutes of thrombolysis is taken as successful thrombolysis).......
