Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr.Vijay Tara |
: | 10.9790/0853-1812040105 |
Abstract: Introduction: The liver is the largest organ in the body and one of the most complex functioning organs with a wide array of functions. It plays a major role in carbohydrate, protein, lipid metabolism; inactivation of various toxins, metabolism of drugs, hormones, synthesis of plasma proteins & maintenance of immunity (Kupffer cells).
Materials and Methods: This descriptive comparative study was undertaken in Department of Pathology, M.G.M Medical College, Jamshedpur and Jharkhand. A total of 100 chronic liver disease patients were studied from January 2018 to December 2018 and was compared with 100 normal controls. In all the cases age, gender and relevant clinical history were obtained. Sample size was taken based on the convenience of the study. Patient's demographic data and history were recorded, complete physical examination was conducted, and hematological parameters were measured for all subjects in this study....

Abstract: Introduction: Gallstones are formed because of abnormal bile composition. Cholesterol is essentially water insoluble and requires aqueous dispersion into either micelles or vesicles, both of which require the presence of a second lipid to solubilise the cholesterol. Cholesterol and phospholipids are secreted into bile as uni-lamellar bilayered vesicles, which are converted into mixed micelles consisting of bile acids, phospholipids, and cholesterol by the action of bile acids.
Materials and methods: The study was conducted in department of Pathology, M.G.M medical College and Hospital, Jamshedpur from January 2018 to December 2018. For the study purpose patients admitted in the General Surgery ward were selected according to below mentioned inclusion and exclusion criteria. A proforma was used to record the history, clinical findings.....

Abstract:Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) refers to a group of common metabolic disorder that shares phenotype of hyperglycemia. In India, the prevalence rates are estimated to be around 20% in cities, and recent figures showed surprising increasing rates in rural areas. Materials and Methods: The present study entitled "Study of Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Normotensive type-2 diabetic patients by 2D echocardiography" was carried out in Department of Medicine, M.G.M Medical College, and Jamshedpur from January 2018 to December 2018. This descriptive comparative study comprises of 100 patients who are normotensive, diabetic and 80 normal healthy patients with age >35 years were included in the study with convenient consecutive sampling after proper written informed consent. The patients were taken from OPD and indoor.....

Title | : | A Prospective Observational Study of Serum Magnesium Levels in Critically Ill Patients |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr.V.K.Sinha |
: | 10.9790/0853-1812041721 |
Abstract:Introduction: Magnesium is fourth most common cat ion in the body and second most common intracellular cat ion after potassium, yet its deficiency in critically ill patients is frequently overlooked. Various studies have reported the incidence of hypomagnesemia up to 65% in critically ill-patients. Materials and Methods: This observational study was conducted in the Department of Medicine, M.G.M Medical College, Jamshedpur among the critically ill patients admitted in MICU and ICCU from January 2018 to December 2018. Ethical clearance was obtained and the study was initiated. Patients were selected based on the inclusion criteria. Written informed consent was taken from all the patients. A complete history, physical examination and systemic examination was done in all the patients. Amongst patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, 5 mL of venous blood was taken at the time of.....

Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Vidya Sastry |
: | 10.9790/0853-1812042225 |
Abstract: The opacification of hydrophilic acrylic IOLs is a seriouscomplication of unknown etiology, with the only effective treatment beinglens explantation and replacement, preferably with a lens of some different material.(1) IOL exchange for opacified lens can be difficult and challenging. Surgery may not always go on according to the pre-operative plan and the surgeon must be ready with an alternative during surgery. We present a series of cases of IOL opacification that posed challenges in diagnosis and the various surgical management techniques....

Abstract: Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major health concern worldwide. Extra pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) in India is up to 20% of all tuberculosis cases. EPTB often remains undetected due to variable clinical presentation and lack of diagnostic means. Early detection of EPTB and drug resistance is important in the management of EPTB..
