Abstract: Background: The postpartum Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) refers to quantifiable physical and mental dimensions of maternal functioning that are affected by the experience of labour and childbirth. This study compares the HRQoL at six weeks postpartum between mothers who had Vaginal versus Caesarean delivery, using a meta-analysis approach. Materials and Methods: A database search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and ProQuest for studies published in English between 2000 and.......

Abstract:Background: Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia is the most common adult leukaemia in the Indian population and is one of the most extensively studied human malignancy. The discovery of tyrosine kinase inhibitors - the first rationally designed drug in human history – at the beginning of 21st century dramatically changed CML landscape. Thanks to this wonder drug, our patients now can have nearly normal life expectancy. However response to TKIs is highly variable among population. Methodology: The study was done on bone marrow samples of patients who are newly diagnosed or on follow up at Katihar medical college katihar. Study duration period of Two years. The samples are collected when they come for diagnosis or when clinically indicated......

Abstract: Intestinal loop stoma is a common surgical procedure performed for various benign and malignant abdominal problems, but it rarely undergoes spontaneous closure, without surgical intervention. A male patient presented to our emergency surgical department with acute abdominal pain. He was diagnosed as having rectosigmoid perforation and underwent diversion sigmoid loop colostomy after primary closure of the perforation. To our surprise, the loop colostomy closed spontaneously at 13 months, without any consequences. Spontaneous stoma closure is a rare and interesting event. The exact etiology for spontaneous closure remains unknown, but it may be hypothesized to result from slow retraction of the stoma..

Abstract: Shoulder is the most common joint to be dislocated, with a rate of around 23.9 per 100,000 people a year [1] due to many precipitating factors like: a very wide range of motion, and the shallow bony articulation, or other underlying conditions like ligaments laxity or bony dysplasia.

Abstract: 90% of all the Chinese and physical medicine treatments are performed through the skin. Skin pigmentation changes are a common aging effect. Moles, freckles and lentigines are flat brown spots, around 5 mm in diameter. They are a risk factor for melanoma but none of these skin changes have been reported to be associated with physical trauma or mechanical stimulation. The aim of the research is to inspect the published papers and results for possible morphological changes from the treatments with physical therapy and acupuncture, to determine which are the most common changes and which treatments occur more often. In all treatments with Chinese and classical medicine, morphological changes of the skin are possible, whereby the lesions that appear are not permanent and only a small percent remain longer. The treatments are generally safe to use in terms of morphological changes of the skin. If the acupuncture stimulation is done with greater dose, it leads to greater changes of the skin at the molecular level, with very low possibility of structural changes.

Abstract: Brucellosis is a zoonosis that is endemic in certain parts of the world. The spine is the most common osteoarticular localisation of brucellosis infections. We report of two uncommon cases of spondylodiscitis secondary to brucella that were treated pharmacologically with intravenous Gentamicin for a week followed by a course of oral Doxycycline and Rifampicin. Disease resolution was evidenced by resolution of pain, normalisation of infective markers, and radiologic improvement. A high degree of suspicion in the diagnosis of brucellar spondylodiscitis is essential to reduce the delay to treatment. Thus, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic back pain especially in regions where brucellosis is endemic.

Abstract: Introduction: - The validity and reliability of the DREEM inventory was established across educational institutes. It has been translated into various languages and has been claimed to be a "culturally unbiased tool" to measure the educational climate at educational institutions.

Abstract: Background: Autism spectrum disorders ((ASDs)) are characterized by serious, biologically neurodevelopmental disabilities of the brain with persistent core impairments in social communication and interaction, restricted interests, and repetitive behaviors and activities. The major dental problems for autism are caries, gingival diseases, lack of motor coordination and oral habits such as bruxism, tongue thrusting, lip biting, self-injurious behavior and pica-eating objects. This study was designed to evaluate oral health among autistic children as compared to normal children........

Abstract: Urethral foreign body obstruction is a rare clinical occurrence commonly associated with recurrent behaviors in males often seeking sexual pleasure. Although the literature is abundant on foreign body removal from the urethra, our case reports a non-typical approach to removing a tapered dilating device and minimizing complications in a patient with a repeat history of a surgically removed dilating devices from the urethra. Herein we present the case of a 57-year-old male who presented to us with penile pain secondary to an irretrievable foreign body.

Abstract: The objectives of the study were to describe the epidemiological profile of ovarian torsion, study the clinical particularities, underline the different radiological signs and correlate them with operative findings, and finally to compare the results of our series with literature. Our work is a retrospective study of 26 cases of ovarian torsion, collected at the mother-child radiology and gyneco-obstetrics department of the CHU HASSAN II of FEZ, during a period of 5 years (JUNE 2015-JUNE 2020). Ultrasound established the diagnosis in 15 cases (57%). 7 patients benefited from additional CT and 4 patients from MRI due to doubt about ultrasound data. These imaging techniques have.......
