Abstract: Introduction And Objectives: Fallopian tubes are the important part of female reproductive tract with long flexuous structures, beginning with the ovarian end each tube is divisible into four segments viz. infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus and intramural. Due to increasing rate of tubal block and infertility, fallopian tubes are gaining importance and have become a subject of research in present days. The aim of the study is to ascertain any differences of morphology, length and luminal diameter of the fallopian tube in different age groups and the research work could be utilized for investigation and treatment of diseases and infertility.............

Abstract: Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare intricate neoplasm affecting predominantly children. It can present as a single isolated lesion requiring no treatment or as a multisystem, life-threatening disorder necessitating aggressive therapy1. This disorder is characterized by abnormal, clonal proliferation of antigenpresenting cells, the Langerhans cells (LCs), associated with immunosurveillance and immune regulation. 2 It remains a debatable matter as to whether LCH represents a reactive or neoplastic process.3 The exact pathogenesis of the disease is, however, unclear.4The clinical presentation may be variable, with a clinical spectrum that ranges from an isolated bone lesion with a favorable natural history to a more aggressive disease with multisystem involvement (such as liver, lung, bone, spleen, lymph nodes, hypothalamus, pituitary gland, gastrointestinal tract).5..............

Abstract: The treatment of rotator cuff tears has evolved from an open procedure to an arthroscopic-assisted (mini-open) technique to an all-arthroscopic technique. With advances in arthroscopic techniques, complete rthroscopic repairs has become the standard of treatment. The potential advantages of this procedure include less pain, more rapid rehabilitation, the ability to treat intra-articular lesions, smaller skin incisions and an extremely low risk of deltoid detachment. Purpose of the study is to evaluate the functional outcome of arthroscopic repair of full thickness rotator cuff tears..............

Abstract: Conducting deliveries in unhygienic places or not properly disinfected labor rooms increases the risk of spreading infections form mother to baby or from one person to another person. The aim of the study is to prevent spreading of infections in labor room by implementation of policies and procedures related to infection control. To assess the efficacy of infection control practices various factors were considered and analyzed before and after implementation of infection control policies and practices. Various aspects observed were environmental surveillance reports, clinically suspected or confirmed infections of patients in labor, needle stick injuries incidence, puerperal infections rate, neonatal infections, hand hygiene compliance. These infection control indicator rates were collected and analyzed..............

Abstract: The introduction of platelet rich plasma (PRP) as a possible adjunct to conservative and operative treatment has motivated significant research into this topic. PRP is a set of autologous platelet products used to accelerate recovery from injury by bringing to the site of injury a set of molecules that will accelerate the functional recovery of the tissue by trying to regenerate it rather than merely repair with scar tissue. In this prospective study, we evaluate the results of PRP in tennis elbow and plantar fasciitis

Abstract: Nutritional anaemia is recognized as a public health problem throughout the world. Infants and young children, who are the most vulnerable groups of the society, are especially affected. According to the global prevalence of anaemia 2011, it is estimated that in India 59% of under-five children have anaemia. The prevalence is seen more in rural areas than in urban areas. The consequences of anaemia are widely ranging and even mild anaemia due to micronutrient deficiencies affects growth, development and immunity. To keep in view the severity of this problem the present study was planned...............

Abstract: Clear cell carcinoma of ovary comprises 5-12% of ovarian cancer. These are usually large tumors ranging from 10 to 30 cm in diameter with solid and partly cystic nodular lesion on their surfaces. It is usually associated with endometriosis, but paraneoplastic syndrome, hypercalcemia, venous thrombosis may occur occasionally. Prognosis of clear cell carcinoma of ovary is poor comparable to other common epithelial tumors as it does not respond to chemotherapy. Here we are reporting a case of clear cell carcinoma of ovary with distinct clinic-pathological and histological pattern in a 38 year old lady presented with pain abdomen and mass in lower abdomen underwent hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy.

Abstract: Hernia is defined as an abnormal protrusion of a viscous or part of a viscous through an abnormal opening in the wall of its containing cavity1. Approximately 75% of all abdominal wall hernias are seen in the groin. Femoral hernias comprise only 3% of all groin hernias. The lifetime risk of developing a groin hernia is approximately 27% in males and 3% in females. Of inguinal hernia repairs, 90% are performed in males and 10% in females. The primary aetiology behind the indirect inguinal hernia is believed to be a patent processus vaginalis, which in essence represents a hernia sac.........
