Abstract: Introduction: A ventral hernia is defined by a protrusion through the anterior abdominal wall fascia.1 These defects can be categorized as spontaneous or acquired or by their location on the abdominal wall. Epigastric hernias occur from the xiphoid process to the umbilicus, umbilical hernias occur at the umbilicus, and hypogastric hernias are rare spontaneous hernias that occur below the umbilicus in the midline Materials and Methods: 150 cases of ventral hernias treated in the department of General surgery at a tertiary care hospital, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand from Jan 2017 to December 2017. Collection of data available in MRD for retrospective study. Collection of data as per the case proforma for prospective study. A patient with a diagnosis of ventral hernia, treated in the department of General Surgery at a tertiary care hospital in Jamshedpur......

Abstract: Introduction: Perforation peritonitis is the peritoneal inflammation due to reaction of peritoneal cavity to the contents of perforated viscus, namely, gastro intestinal tract, the biliary system, pancreas or genitourinary tract. Gastrointestinal perforations constitute one of the commonest surgical emergency encountered by surgeons.1,2 Since the perforations could be because of injury or lesions of viscus, these are amenable to surgical therapy. Management of these patients continues to be highly demanding despite advances made in diagnosis, surgical management, antibiotics therapy, correction of electrolyte balance and intensive care support. Materials and Methods: Present study was done on total 100 cases of perforation peritonitis, which were admitted in the department of general..........

Abstract: Introduction: Pelvic pain is abdominal pain located below the level of the umbilicus including frequently lower back pain with or without radiation into the thighs.1 Acute pelvic pain generally implies pain that is of less than 3-month duration in a toxic, ill-appearing and unstable patient or chronic pain that is worsening. When a female in the reproductive age presents with acute pelvic and/or lower abdominal pain, the first diagnoses to consider are those that are life-threatening and would require urgent and/or emergent surgical intervention. Materials and Methods: This study was done on 200 female patients in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology of Medical College, MGM Medical College and hospital during the period from September 2016 to August 2017. The study was divided into two groups: Group 1 included the patients those whose underlying complaint which was backache...........

Abstract: Introduction: Osteoporosis is defined as a progressive, systemic, skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and micro architectural deterioration of bone tissues with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture.1 Studies have shown that bone loss starts from the age of 20–40 years in both men and women. In women, it has been postulated that menopause is followed by an immediate decrease in bone mass and density within a year.

Abstract: In India, incidence of tuberculosis is very high.However Tuberculous pseudoaneurysm of aorta is an unusual entity, with only 100 cases reported till now and even less have been related to involvement of spine . Tuberculous aneurysms of the aorta are also highly susceptible to rupture. These complications are treatable, but may be fatal if not treated properly. We in this case report, describe a case of tuberculous pseudoaneurysm of descending abdominal aorta associated with military tuberculosis and vertebral involvement.

Abstract: Lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) is a common mode of delivery now and surgical site infection is the third most common infectious complication in these patients. Aim & objectives: This study was planned with this background to have a comprehensive approach to SSI following LSCS. Methods: 100 consecutive patients undergoing LSCS, irrespective of indication who developed SSI,were studied. A questionnaire was developed to assess the risk factors associated with development of SSI. All patients were followed up from day one of surgery till discharge postoperative day 30. Results: SSI was identified in (70%) out of 100 patients with SSI. In all age groups,Gram-negative bacilli were the commonest finding. The commonest isolate was Klebsiella pneumoniae............

Abstract: Background: Surgical site infections (SSI) account for around 15% of all nosocomial infections. In the recent years there has been a growing prevalence of Gram negative organisms as a cause of serious infections in many hospitals. In addition irrational use of broad spectrum antibiotics and resulting antimicrobial resistance has further deteriorated the condition in this regard. Aim: The study aimed to identify bacterial etiology of surgical site infections and their antibiogram in an attempt to develop comprehensive treatment protocol. Materials And Methods: The study was conducted in the department of Microbiology, School of Medical Sciences and Research, Sharda Hospital and University, Greater Noida, over a period of one year from January 2014 to December...........

Abstract: Microbial keratitis is a significant public health problem, and numerous studies have been performed describing the microbiology of corneal infection. On a global level, predisposing risk factors for microbial keratitis vary tremendously with geographical location. Although non-surgical trauma to the eye accounted for 48.6–65.4% of all corneal ulcers in the developing countries of Nepal and India, non-surgical eye trauma accounted for only 27% of all cases. Our study was conducted between June 2017 to December 2017 in Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical college Hospital, Salem, Tamilnadu, based on patients presenting with corneal ulcers. This study conducted on diabetic patients presented with keratitis caused by various microbiologic agents and relates to its predisposing factors..

Abstract: Objectives: Is to find the incidence of patients with Multinodular Goitre (MNG) and study thyroid gland diseases. Methods and Materials: Patients with signs and symptoms of multinodular thyroid swelling for a period of 2 yrs in GMKMCH SALEM through proper history taking and clinical examination. Results: MNG is more common among female with a ratio of 7:1 compared to male and Secondary thyrotoxicosis is seen in 32% (16%) of patients. Conclusion: Thyrotoxicosis is seen more in malignant patients (40%) than in benign diseases (31%). Incidence of MNG was about 10% and can also occur on post-operative patients..
Key words: Multinodular goitre (MNG), Benign, Malignant, Thyrotoxicosis.

Abstract: This study was aimed to analyze the Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) of antibacterial activity between 37 curcumin analog compounds against S. aureus, B. subtilis and K. pneumoniae. The new compound wassynthesizedbased on QSAR studiesthen evaluate its antibacterial activity compound against S. aureus, B. subtilis and K. pneumoniae. Structure of curcumin analogues were geometry optimized.Variable selection used Systematic Search (SS) technique with Build QSAR application. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis (MLR) techniquewas used to select the descriptors and generate the equation. The compound result from QSAR was synthesized by aldol condensation reaction. TLC, melting point and GCMS were used to confirm the purity of compound. Antibacterial activity was determined using liquid dilution towards S. aureus, B. subtilis and K. pneumoniae. The antibacterial activity was..........
