Abstract: Coronary arteryDisease is the common impact of death worldwide in type 2 Diabetes mellitus.High rate of asymptomatic coronary heart disease in type 2 DM.We studied aboutthe prevalence of silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus by using treadmill test. We also analysed about the clinical predictions ofSilent Myocardial Ischemia in asymptomatic type 2 DM. The study was one year cross sectional study conducted on the 50 asymptomatic type 2 DM outpatients in the tertiary care hospital during the period of July 2014 to July 2015.............

Title | : | A Study of Thyroid Function Abnormalities in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr.K.Swaminathan || Dr. S.Rajesh || Dr.S.Avudaiappan |
Abstract: Chronic Kidney Disease is a worldwide health problem with an increasing incidence and prevalence. Abnormalities in the structure and function of the thyroid gland and in the metabolism and plasma concentration of thyroid hormones are common in patients with CKD. In view of variability of thyroid profile in CKD patients in previous studies, a prospective study of various thyroid function has been undertaken to establish a correlation if any between thyroid dysfunction and severity of renal diseases . Total number of 50 patients with Chronic Kidney Disease on conservative management fulfilling the criteria for CKD who were admitted in Department of Medicine, tertiary care hospital, during the period of July 2014-July 2015 were selected in this prospective study............

Abstract: Introduction: Woman breast is a dynamic structure undergoes proliferative changes during reproductive period and changes of involution occur in perimenopausal period. Benign breast disease is most common problem in woman. Majority of them require treatment in their life time. Benign breast disease constitutes a heterogeneous group of lesions; include developmental abnormalities, inflammatory lesions and neoplasms. Benign lesions are likely to turn malignant, it is a major concerned to patient as well as clinician, aim of a clinician is to rule out breast cancer since, most benign lesions occur in cancer age group and some of them mimic as carcinoma................

Abstract: Forensic dentistry is the examination and evaluation dental evidence which will be then presented in the interest justice. The palatal rugae are generally transverse ridges situated in the anterior part the palatine mucosa. Palatal rugae are resistant to chemical aggression, thermal effects and decomposition changes because internal position in the head. They are widely used in edentulous patients where dental identification is not possible and in patients where other body parts are burnt and decomposed. Aim the study is toanalyze and identify the differences in the palatal rugae patterns in males, females, families& identical twins.................

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Rakesh Kumar || S S Sankhla || R C Meena || Lakhpat Yadav || U K Meena || Vineet Maheshwari |
Abstract: Introduction: Failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) represents a clinical condition of patients that undergo one or more surgical procedures for lumbosacral disease and still present unsatisfactory long-term relief of symptoms, with persistent or recurrent low back pain. One of the sources of failed back surgery syndrome is segmental instability of the lumbar spine. There is very limited evidence in the literature regarding the incidence of spinal instability following fenestration and discectomy...............

Title | : | Comparative Evaluation of Tubal Patency by sterosalphingography and Laparoscopicchromopertubation |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. V. Geetha || Dr. P. Thilagavathy |
Abstract: Ninety women, who attended the infertility clinic, were evaluated. Hysterosalpingography and laparoscopy with chromopertubation was done in all these 90 patients for assessment of tubal patency. The study analysed the efficacy of HSG versus laparoscopy and compared the correlation between the two methods. The results of the study showed that in diagnosing a patent tube the correlation between HSG and laparoscopy is 75% for patent tubes and 73% for blocked tubes. The sensitivity of HSG in diagnosing tubal pathology was 81% while specificity is 71%. A high false positive rate of 29% in HSG was shown in this study.

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr.P.Thilagavathi M.D || Dr.V.Geetha M.D |
Abstract: Aim Of The Study: To Compare the method of visual inspection with acetic acid(VIA) with pap smear in detection of cervical dysplastic lesions in ante–natal women. Materials And Method: It was a prospective study performed in 113 antenatal patients between 16-28 weeks of gestation.The pap smear and VIA performed for all patients in the study group. Positive screens were classified as atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance; low-grade or high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, including those showing atypia, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, or carcinoma-in-situ. All patients with positive pap screens or positive for aceto white lesions were subjected to colposcopy................
