Incidence of breast carcinoma in a tertiary care hospital- a retrospective study

Breast carcinoma is the most frequent cancer in the women, following the lung carcinoma worldwide. Even in the India breast carcinoma has over taken cervical cancer in many parts. Significance of this study is to see the number of breast cancer patient in the tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study for a period of 3 years 2010 June to 2013 June. Results: Out of 279 cases of the breast lesion, 117 were of breast carcinoma with most presenting in the late stage due to lack of awareness and social stigma.

Adverse neural mechanical tension–a comparison between young healthy individuals on the basis of physical activity

Background: It has been suggested that restoration of altered neurodynamics can lead to reduction in pain and improvement in physical function. Therefore a relationship should exist between neurodynamics and physical activity (PA). So the aim of present study was to find out the prevalence and magnitude of relationship of neurodynamics with physical activity in young and healthy individuals. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 50 young healthy subjects (age of 20.62±2.13yrs) with normal neurological status.

Synthesis, characterization and evaluation of antimicrobial profile of some novel flavanoid derivatives

The objective of the present work was the synthesis of 2- (2, 3, 4, and 5 substituted phenyl) 3-hydroxy-4H-Chromen-4-one and evaluation of in-vitro antimicrobial activity. Based on this a new series of compound had been planned to synthesize by reacting 2-hydroxy acetophenone and various aromatic aldehydes in the presence of potassium hydroxide, methanol and 30% hydrogen peroxide. The synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, NMR, and Mass spectroscopy.

A study of histopathological changes in viscera in aluminium phosphide poisoning

A prospective study to observe thehistopathological findings in Aluminium PhosphidePoisoning was undertaken on 70 autopsy cases conducted at S. S. Medical College, Rewaand associated Gandhi Memorial Hospital. Aluminium Phosphide poisoning hasbecome the commonest poisoning in central India over the last few years. Aluminium Phosphide is a solid fumigant bulk grain preservative and is available in the market under various trade names like Celphos, Quickphos, Phostoxin, Phostek, Gastoxin, Zedesa, Li Fumesets. It is marketed either in Tablet or pellet form.

Flexible denture for partially edentulous arches - case reports

Conventional fixed partial dentures, implant supported Fixed Partial Dentures (FDPs) and removable partial dentures are the most common treatment modalities for the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients. Hard and soft tissue undercuts are frequently encountered in the fabrication of prosthesis in partially as well as completely edentulous arches. Removable cast partial dentures are used as definitive removable prostheses when indicated, but location of clasps may affect aesthetics.

Volumetric analysis of mandible for dental implants in cbct images

Aim: Osteoporotic patients require particular attention during implant placement, and bone density has been established as a simple method to assess local bone quality and primary implant stability. This study aimed to examine and significantly correlate the relationship of local bone density volumetric analysis as assessed by the CBCT in a group of osteopenic and osteoporotic patients. Materials and Methods:A total of 30 patients were included in the study.

A study of effect of temperature on latency and amplitude of median sensory and motor nerve in normal subjects

The present study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College and Hospital, Jabalpur (M.P.) . Median motor and sensory nerves were examined in 60 medical students aged between 17-25 years, having no signs or symptoms of neurological impairment. Using surface and ring electrodes. Different temperature i.e. hot and cold were maintained with the help of water bath and skin temperature measured by using Digital Mercury Thermometer.

Efficacy of kinesio taping versus phonophoresis on mechanical neck dysfunction

Background: Mechanical Neck Dysfunction (MND) affects about two thirds of people in middle age with common cause of bad posture in people who spent much of their working day at a desk with a bent-forward posture. Purpose: To compare the efficacy of kinesio taping versus phonphoresis on neck pain intensity, cervical ROM and neck disability in patients with MND. Design: pre - posttest experimental design Methods: 45 patients with MND participated in this study, their age ranged from 20-45 years.

Psychiatric co-Morbidity in deliberate self harm patient at rural medical college of South India

Introduction: Nearly one million people commit suicide worldwide every year (i.e. one suicide every 40 seconds) compared to approximately 400000 suicides every year, a decade earlier. Suicide is among the ten leading causes of death for all ages in most of the countries (WHO). Deliberate self harm is often associated with Psychiatric disorders influencing morbidity and mortality. Objective: To study the demographic profile and other related details like psychiatric co morbidity of attempted suicides.
