Background: Patients with obstructed defecation syndrome (ODS) form an important subset of patients with chronic constipation. Evaluation of these patients has traditionally been difficult. Magnetic resonance defecography (MRD) is a very useful tool for the evaluation of these patients.
Oligohydramnios is one of the common complications diagnosed more frequently these days due to usage of ultrasonography. The aims of the study are to study the maternal and fet al., effects of Oligohydramnios, to evaluate the causes Oligohydramnios, to evaluate the perinatal morbidity and mortality Material and Methods: The study was conducted in Santhiram medical college, in rural area of nandyal from January 2014 to June 2015 after satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria. 100 cases of Oligohydramnios were randomly selected. Borderline Oligohydramnios are monitored by f et al.
Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis L.) is an important medicinal plant in herbal medicine.

Dyke- Davidoff- Masson syndrome [DDMS] is a rare clinical entity characterized by seizures , facial asymmetry, contralateral hemiparesis and mental retardation. The radiological features are cerebral hemiatrophy with homolateral hypertrophy of skull and sinuses. We are reporting a case of DDMS in a 2 years old female child who presented with right sided weakness , occasional episodes of seizures and delayed milestones.
Background: Stein-Leventhal syndrome, also called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy that affects women.Has been one of a major public health problem in Sudan that leads to medical consequences. It causes multifactorial in etiology such as menstrual dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, hirsutism, insulin resistance (IR), dyslipidemia and obesity which increased risk of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. We know that if patients with PCOS are screened for these diseases, many long-term complications can be prevented.
A serendipitous observation, confirmed by recent reports of ice XIc, suggested ice crystallizing in liquid nitrogen is proton ordered. It undergoes a ferroelectric phase transition at 72 K, releasing latent energy as wavelength λ ~ 4μ infrared laser light. Ice formed in polar regions during a primordial ice age emitted such light; polarised by multiple reflection it photophosphorylated deoxynucleotides on equatorial waters, creating chiral ‘transport DNA’, tDNA. tDNAs embedded in the membranes of proto-cells charged by lightning formed H-bond lined pores.
Obesity is one of emerging health problems of 21st century. World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared Obesity as one of top ten health risk in the world (2000) and this is because it increases the risk of life threatning conditions, including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, Heart disease, sleep disorders and many cancers and feeling of alienation from society. Young generation is prone to many medical disorders which are related to Obesity. Obesity is a growing serious medical condition that demands a preventive management.
Coronal fractures of the patella are an uncommon occurrence as compared to transverse fracture of the patella. We present a case of comminuted displaced fracture of the patella with disruption of the patellofemoral articulation which was treated with cancellous screws. Immediate mobilisation and active physiotherapy was started. The scope of the study was to identify the pattern of patella fracture, treat it accordingly and return to the patient the near normal knee motion so as to decrease the dependency of the patient on others for her activities of daily living.
Obesity is one of emerging health problems of 21st century.

To reduce weight many diets are available and people follow them without knowing their repercussions. A fad diet is a weight loss plan or aid that promises dramatic results. These diets typically don't result in long-term weight loss and they are usually not very healthy. In fact, some of these diets can actually be dangerous to your health.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of membranes stripping in induction of labour in low-risk patients at term pregnancy (38-40 gestational weeks) Methods: This prospective study included 140 antenatal women who were randomly assigned to one of two groups: a stripping of the membranes group (n=70) and a no stripping control group (n=70). The primary outcome measure was the proportion of women who entered spontaneous labor within 1 week of entry into the study. Secondary outcome measures included mode of delivery and maternal and fetal complications.
