Abstract: Kidneys-being the major organs in the body are resected for various reasons including malignancy and nonfunctioning status of the organ, leading to severe morbidity and decrease in quality of life of the people, especially in south Tamil nadu where the people are extreme laborers and belong to poor socioeconomic status. So, this study aimed at collecting the major causes of nephrectomy being done and sorting out the preventive aspects that can be instituted in the general public. AIM To analyse the histopathological reports of the nephrectomy specimens this study was aimed at deriving the data that reveals the major pathological.......

Abstract: Coccydynia or coccygeal pain is a medical condition although rare which manifests as pain and tenderness over the coocygeal region. These patients have mostly difficulty sitting and the symptoms are excarbratted by pressure. The condition typically responds to conservative management like non-steroidal antinflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) , sitz baths, soft cushions, rectal manipulation Our study included 30 patients with coccygeal pain refractory to other means of treatment. We used 40 ml triamcinolone along with 2ml of 1% lidocaine introduced locally. The outcome was studied by ability of the patient to sit, by eliciting the local tenderness and the VAS score. We concluded that injecting steroid injection in patients with refractory coccydynia is a good alternative option with minimal complications.

Abstract: Background: Pre-operative anxiety is common in pediatric population. Fear of parental separation, fear of strange hospital environment and painful procedures contribute to preoperative anxiety. Preoperative anxiety in children is associated with several adverse postoperative outcomes, such as increased distress in the recovery phase, and postoperative regressive behavioural disturbances, such as nightmares, separation anxiety, eating disorders, and bedwetting Preoperative anxiety in paediatric patients is therefore an important concern for anaesthesiologist. Dexmedetomidine....

Abstract:Introduction: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is the most common type of diabetesin children.Other autoimmune disease common in these individuals is Autoimmune Thyroiditis(15-30%).Innormal individualsthe positivity of anti-thyroid antibodiesisfound to be 2.9% - 3.4%. While in T1DM children it is between 18.5% - 24.6%.
Aims and Objectives:To study the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and its effects in childrendiagnosed with Type1Diabetes Mellitus. To correlate the effect of thyroid dysfunction based on age, gender of individual, duration of diabetes, glycemic control, lipid abnormality, BMI and growth and development in children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Abstract: Background : Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the leading causes for women attending gynaecologist for opinions. Thus better understanding of the causes of abnormal uterine bleeding is required by determining the pattern of intrauterine pathologies through hysteroscopy and to correlate these hysteroscopic findings with histopathological reports. The aim and objective of this study was to determine the pattern of hysteroscopic abnormalities and histopathological features of intrauterine pathology and thus to correlate hysteroscopic findings with histopathological findings. Materials and method:...
