Abstract: Colonoscopy is a widely used procedure for diagnosis and treatment of colorectal disease as well as for colorectal cancer screening. . But the procedure is not free of risk. The rate of serious complications was found about 0.28% and major complications mostly occur following interventional colonoscopy. In this prospective multicenter based descriptive study, adverse events after the procedure up to 30 days were recorded by telephonic conversation with patient on day 5, day 15 and day 30. Total 247 patients, age varying from 10 years to 90 years (mean 43.42 and SD 17.25) were included in this study for various indications. Of them 60(24.29%) patients complained pain and discomfort in abdomen during procedure, 06 (2.43%) patients developed bradycardia and 02(0.81%)patients developed respiratory distress preventing completion of procedure. Six patients (2.4%) required hospitalization within 05 days , 03 for respiratory distress, 01 for bloody diarrhoea and 02 for abdominal pain. None of the patients in this series had perforation, angina or shock. At the end of 30 days after procedure 205 (83%) patient agreed to undergo further colonoscopy if indicated. No death during or after procedure within 30 days was reported in our series.

Abstract: Consanguinity is the quality of being descended from the same ancestor as another person. Consanguinity is prevalent in many middle eastern and Arab cultures and societies. Genetic disorders and congenital abnormalities occur in about 2%-5% of all live births, account for up to 30% of paediatric hospital admissions and cause about 50% of childhood deaths in industrialised countries. To determine the prevalence of consanguineous marriages, type of consanguinity and to determine the role of consanguinity on congenital malformations so as to create awareness. Retrospective hospital based study with consecutive sampling of 1552 babies in Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital over a period of 12 months from January to December 2015.Out of 1552 babies 61 babies were having congenital malformations...........

Abstract: Antepartum fetal surveillance is the corner stone of preventive obstetric management aimed at reducing perinatal mortality and morbidity. Ante partum detection of fetus at risk of death or compromise in utero remains the major challenge in modern obstetrics. Specific and accurate methods for detection of fetus at risk can result in early appropriate intervention and hence reduce fetal loss.Intrauterine growth retardation is a common condition affecting about 10–15% of the general maternity population 1 . Diagnostic ultrasound is the main stay in the evaluation and management of obstetric patient.This study compares the arterial and venous Doppler velocimetry in IUGR fetus and the evaluation of perinatal outcome in respect to severity of Doppler changes.

Abstract: The colon is the primary target of many functional and pathological disorders, which may have acute and chronic presentations among which Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a formidable health problem worldwide. It is the third most common cancer in men (663000 cases, 10.0% of all cancer cases) and the second most common in women (571000 cases, 9.4% of all cancer cases) 1. Almost 60% of cases are encountered in developed countries. The number of CRC-related deaths is estimated to be approximately 608000 worldwide, accounting for 8% of all cancer deaths and making CRC the fourth most common cause of death due to cancer. In India, the annual incidence rates (AARs) for colon cancer and rectal cancer in men are 4.4 and 4.1 per 100000, respectively. The AAR for colon cancer in women is 3.9 per 100000. Colon cancer ranks 8th and rectal cancer ranks 9th among men. Hence this study plans screening motivated volunteers and patients with 128 slice MDCT available in the Hospital and interpreted based on the amount of the colon lumen distended for study and if possible screen for the pathology accordingly.

Abstract: Osteosarcoma is more common in pediatric patients and in males In the US. there is ethic variation more common in individuals of black than white. Frequent causes includes: familial cases, bone dysplasia,fraumeni syndrome, and Rothmund Thomson syndrome. The role of water fluoridation is unclear. Diagnosis begins with X–ray,CT scan, PET scan, and bone scan, MRI, and biopsy. The biopsy of suspected osteosarcoma outside the facial region should be performed by an orthopedic oncologist. Conventional therapy is a combination of limb-salvage orthopedic surgery when possible (or amputation in some cases) and combination of high dose methotrexeate with other drugs added. In stage three osteosarcoma with lung metastases depends on the resectability of the primary tumor........

Abstract: Postoperative pain management by analgesics use has become a major medical and nursing challenge in all over the world. Due to the various constraints, analgesics use in postoperative pain management in Bangladesh has got greater attention from the scientist and policy makers. We conducted an observational study to assess the, effect of postoperative analgesics used in patients in several private clinics, Bangladesh. Subject selection was purposive who were admitted in the selected clinics from January 2017 to December 2017. We recorded patient's demographics, postoperative pain orders, and analgesia regime on the day of surgery. Anesthesia team, which included one of the investigators, assessed the overall pain since the time of surgery by visual analogue scale (VAS) and also recorded any complications...........

Abstract: The aim of this case report was to preserve tissue for future attached gingiva of a buccally impacted left maxillary permanent canine tooth in a 14 years old female patient by apically displaced flap surgery (one type of periodontal plastic surgery).Case Presentation :A 14 years old girl presented with chief complaint of previously surgically exposed tooth in the left upper region was again covered within three months of previous surgery. Combined periodontal flap surgery and orthodontic treatment was performed to correct dental impaction and to achieve proper alignment of teeth in dental arch.Conclusion: The apicallyrepositioned flap is an effective method ofexposing certain unerupted teeth whilemaintaining the mucogingival complex

Abstract: Background The optimal closure method, for dirty abdominal incisions, that will reduce wound complications remains controversial. The aim of this study is to compare wound complications after primary closure and delayed primary closure of laparotomy incisions following typhoid intestinal perforation (TIP). Methods: One hundred and twelve patients with dirty abdominal wounds following laparotomy for TIP were included. They were randomized into one of the two methods of wound management viz: primary closure (PC) group and delayed primary closure (DPC) group. Patients in the PC group have their surgical incisions (skin and subcutaneous layers) closed immediately while in the DPC group, the incisions were left open (packed with saline soaked gauze) and were...........

Abstract: Maintaining good oral hygiene, reducing the presence of dental plaque in the mouth is an important part of the everyday lives of patients. The importance is even greater in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the oral hygiene behavior among the patients during orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. One hundred and two orthodontic patients (65 female) and (37 male) treated with fixed appliances were studied. Patients were requested to fill out a structured questionnaire about oral hygiene behavior after placement of fixed orthodontic appliances. Results showed that 65.68 % from the patients brush their teeth twice a day. Most of them, 68.63% use orthodontic tooth brush and 78.43% use fluorid toothpaste. 33.33% from the patients use...........

Abstract: Cutaneous leishmaniasis of the lid We report 4 cases of patients presenting with lid cutaneous leishmaniasis in which clinical presentation was a true diagnostic problem. The patients were 4 women and a man aged 48 +/-1 years. The presence of other cutaneous lesions and the chronic progression led to a biopsy for anatomopathology and parasitology analysis. These analyses confirmed the diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis. The patients were then treated with antimony derivatives. Progression of the disease was marked by the appearance of a pigmented nonretractile scar. The different clinical characteristics, epidemiology, and treatment of this affection are reviewed..
