type: item
description: Background: Prostatic disease is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality in men throughout the world. Prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia are the two major prostate diseases that increase with aging. Histopathological examination of prostatic lesions has been gold standard for the final diagnosis. Objective: This study was carried out for histopathological evaluation of prostatic lesion and its correlation with the clinical data. Materials and Methods: This study included all types of prostatic specimens received in department of Pathology, AMC MET Medical College, Ahmedabad from January 2018 to December 2018. Relevant clinical data was recorded. Results: The most common age group presenting with prostatic lesion was 60-69 years and the most common presenting clinical symptom was difficulty in micturation. The frequency of benign and malignant lesions was observed to be 91% and 9% respectively. Amongst the benign lesions all lesions were Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) with or without associated pathological lesions. All the malignant lesions were adenocarcinoma of prostate and were graded according to Gleasons scoring system. Predominant malignant lesions (40%) revealed Gleasons score 9. Strong correlation of S.PSA level with prostatic adenocarcinoma was seen in our study Conclusion: Histopathological evaluation seems to be gold standard for diagnosis, prognosis and management of prostatic lesions. S.PSA level has strong correlation with the risk and outcome of prostatic cancer.

type: item
description: Background: Blood transfusion is an integral part of health care as well as one of the life saving procedure. But it carries risk of certain infections, especially viral, known as transfusion transmissible infections (TTIs). Aim: To study seroprevalence of TTIs (HIV, HBsAg, HCV, and syphilis & malaria) in a tertiary care centre in Thane district of Maharashtra. Study design: Hospital based retrospective observational study Methodology: The retrospective study was conducted by accumulating and analysing the data regarding TTIs from blood bank records. Total 20270 blood units were collected in 10 years period from January 2010 to December 2019. All blood units were screened by respective immunological methods. Results: On analysis of the data of all screened blood units, it was observed that 89 tested positive for HIV (0.44%), 463 were positive for HBsAg (2.28 %) & 115 were positive for HCV (0.56%). The seroprevalence for syphilis and malaria was 0.07% & 0.02% respectively. The overall seropositivity was 3.39%. The HBsAg seroprevalence was the highest among the blood donors. Conclusion: In order to avoid wastage of blood units, application of strict criteria for selection and deferral of donors with emphasis on TTIs along with mandatory Nucleic Acid Test (NAT) for screening of TTIs is required.

Utility Of Blood Indices And Parameters For Differentiating Iron Deficiency Anaemia And Β-Thalassemia Trait By Calculating Various Discriminant Functions
type: item
description: Background: There are various causes of hypochromic microcytic anaemia. Among these β-thalassemia trait and iron deficiency anaemia are much more common in developing country like India. Various parameters obtained on automated haematology analyser by calculating discriminant functions to differentiate iron deficiency anaemia and β thalassemia trait becomes easy and cost effective. Objective: To differentiate iron deficiency anaemia and β-thalassemia trait by blood indices, red cell distribution width and various discriminant functions. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in the pathology department of AMC MET medical college, L.G.Hospital, Maninagar, Ahmedabad. We had studied 100 cases of differentiating Iron deficiency Anaemia and β-Thalassaemia trait from patient’s case records and laboratory reports irrespective of age and sex over a period of one year (January 2019 to December 2019). Tests for serum iron and ferritin were carried out in individuals showing low hemoglobin (Hb). All the selected subjects’ samples were subjected to blood morphology, comparison of MCV, RBC count, RDW, RDWI, SI, GI and MI. Results: Out of 100 cases seventy five were diagnosed having IDA, whereas twenty five were having β-TT. The RBC count was higher, and MCV was much lower in βTT as compared to IDA. Both groups were subjected to RDW,RDWI, SI, MI and GI. Conclusion: Among various discriminant function calculated from different haematological parameters and blood indices Mentzer index and Srivasta index are more sensitive and specific for differentiating IDA and β-TT.

Correlation Between Weight Of Spectacle And The Contact Area Of Nose Pads With Respect To Standard Alignment
type: item
description: Aim: To understand the co-relation between the weight of spectacle and the contact area of nose pads with respect to standard alignment. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Method: Parameters such as weight of spectacle, frontal angle of nose and nose pads, splay angle of nose and nose pads and pantoscopic angle, area of nose pads and contact area of nose pads were measured using simple tools such as portable weighing machine and a handmade gauge similar to Fairbanks facial gauge and the correlation between all the parameters was found out. Results: Out of total 75 frames, 42 frames (56%) had no change in contact area with the corre sponding area of nose pads with respect to the parameters including weight of spectacle frontal angle, splay angle and pantoscopic angle in standard alignment of spectacle, while other 33 frames (44%) had a noticeable change in the contact area of nose pads with respect to the cor responding parameters. Conclusion: Difference of 50mm2of area between contact area and area of nose pads is ac ceptable with current trend of frames. Current trend of light weight frames and lenses has giv en ease to alignment as even misalignment does not result into marks. Contact area corre sponding with the area of nose pad play a significant role in distribution of spectacle weight on nose. Mismatch between contact area and area of nose pads will result into skin marks.Ideally, a wearer is happy when standard alignment is achieved with respect to facial measurements.

Even with an early diagnosis bowel obstruction still represent some of the most difficult problems that surgeons face with regard to optimal timing of therapy and appropriate management in different type of bowel obstruction. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To study the various modes of presentation, importance of early diagnosis and management of patients , the incidence of different complications during treatment and their management in tertiary care centre of urban population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was conducted for a period of 2 years with patients admitted from 01/ 07/ 2017 up to 30/06/ 2019 with a sample size of 50 patients in L.G. hospital, Ahmedabad .Present study was prospective, observational, cross-sectional study. OBSERVATIONS AND DISCUSSION: Out of 50 patients, 70% were males and 30% were females, more commonly in young patients (11-20 yrs age). Most common presenting cause of intestinal obstruction is subacute intestinal obstruction which is 20 % and these cases were managed conservatively. Conservative approach was helpful in 38% of cases due to their early presentation and subacute type of obstruction most commonly. Primarily operative approach after initial resuscitation were 32% of total cases with indications like acute presentation with tenderness, abnormal peristalsis like absent or hyperperistalsis, fever, irreducible or palpable lump, ultrasonography finding of peritonitis etc. Most common complication encountered was wound infection 35% of operated cases. Mortality was 4 % occurrence in present study. CONCLUSION: Of the 50 cases of intestinal obstruction in our study adhesions and bands are the common cause to produce intestinal obstruction. Koch’s abdomen is also increasingly encountered in etiology of intestinal obstruction as stricture and it is related to poor socioeconomic status of study population in pr…

A Comparative Study Of Coloading And Preloading With Balanced Crystalloids For Prevention Of Post-Spinal Hypotension In Patients Undergoing Elective Caesarean Section
type: item
description: Background Spinal anesthesia is the most common anaesthetic technique for cesarean delivery due to its rapid onset, a dense neural block, little risk of local anesthetic toxicity and minimal transfer of drug to the fetus, as well as little risk of failure of block However incidence of hypotension is one of disadvantages of this technique because of sympathetic blockade. Conventionally, crystalloid preloading has been used to prevent spinal anaesthesia induced hypotension, but it has shown varying results. Therefore, focus is on crystalloid coloading for prevention of spinal induced hypotension. Method An observational prospective study was done on 60 parturients undergoing elective cesarean delivery. Patients were randomized into 2 groups who received either crystalloid preloading or coloading. Parameters assessed were, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, incidence of hypotension and use of mephentermine. Result In this study, there was significant difference in the incidence of hypotension in both the groups, which was more in preload group. Total dose of mephentermine used was also significantly more in preload group. Conclusion We concluded that crystalloid coloading is beneficial to prevent post-spinal hypotension in patients undergoing elective cesarean delivery, as compared to patients receiving preloading fluid.

Role Of High-Resolution Computed Tomography (Hrct) Temporal Bone In Different Pathologies
type: item
description: Background: - High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT), a modification of routine CT, provides a direct visual window in the temporal bone providing minute structural details [1]. Purpose of the present study was to evaluate the normal variations, pathological processes (infections and congenital anomalies) and their extent involving the temporal bone along with their complications on HRCT and to correlate these imaging findings surgically. Aim of the Study: - To find out about the causes, different types of pathologies, male female ratio, and management accordingly. Materials and Methods: - The prospective study included 100 patients who were presented to ENT department of AMC MET MEDICAL COLLEGE with clinically suspected temporal bone or ear pathologies. After detailed clinical examination, the patients were subjected to high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) examination and most of them underwent surgery. The imaging findings were correlated with the surgical findings. The surgical findings were considered as final. Observation and Results: - Of 100 cases examined, we had 93 cases of middle ear cleft pathology (chronic Otitis media, cholesteatoma, soft tissue densities without cholesteatoma) out of which 25 cases were cholesteatoma, 22 cases of soft tissue density in mastoid cavity and 46 cases had middle ear opaque homogenous densities, 4 traumatic cases & 2 congenital pathology. Conclusion: - HRCT is a revolutionary imaging modality that helps in evaluating the distribution features, localization and assessing the extent of various pathologies affecting the temporal bone. The clinical and radiological findings showed a high level sensitivity with intraoperative findings as regards to the presence of cholesteatoma, changes of the ossicular chain and erosion of the lateral semicircular canal. Where criteria for cholesteatoma was soft tissue density in middle ear or mastoid with bony erosion, other cases in this study were 2 congenital cases in which the fin…

type: item
description: Introduction : The treatment of severe acne scars is challenging due to the variety in morphology of acne scars and the limitations of the available treatment modalities in their ability to improve scars. Tailored treatment plan must be created in which the patient’s specific types of scars are treated with the procedures that are most likely to improve those types of scars. This study aims to assess the efficacy of combination therapy using subcision, platelet rich plasma therapy, microneedling and spot 50% TCA CROSS in the management of grade 3 and 4 atrophic scars. Method: Twenty one patients with grade 3 or 4 atrophic acne scars were graded using Goodman and Baron Qualitative grading. Subcision, Platelet Rich Plasma therapy, microneedling and spot 50% TCA CROSS were performed in single sitting for three sessions 1 month apart. Grading of acne scar photographs was done pretreatment and 1 month after last procedure. Result: Out of 10 patients with Grade 4 scars, 3 patients improved to Grade 2, 6 patients improved to Grade 3 and 1 patient improved to Grade 1 scars. Out of 11 patients with Grade 3 scars, 1 patient was left with no scars, 3 patients improved to Grade 1 and 7 patients improved to Grade 2. Conclusion: This combination Subcision, PRP, Micro-needling and TCA CROSS, if they are combined and adequately done in proper manner has shown good results in treating severe Grade 4 and 3 scars.

Breast Feeding Practices Up To 6 Months In Infants Of Urban Area : A Hospital Based Survey
type: item
description: Introduction : Adopting optimal breast feeding practices is fundamental right to a child’s survival, growth and development. Despite all the potential benefits, only about two fifths of infants 0-6 months of age worldwide are exclusively breastfed. Analysis of data on feeding practices among infants highlights the need for accelerated programming in this area. Present study was aimed to survey feeding practices in infants up to 6 months and observing variables for faulty feeding practices Method :Mother of infants up to 6 months coming from urban area in a tertiary care hospital were interviewed for feeding practices as per preformed questionnaires. If feeding practices were faulty all details regarding various factors leading to same were asked and analysed. Results :Total 518 mothers were interviewed. Only 37% infants were exclusively breast feed, in 29% feeding was started in 1st hour of life and in 25% some form of prelacteal feeds were given. On analysing different factors for faulty feeding practices we found that primigravida, CS delivery, (p<0.001)different myths regarding mother health, baby health, and breast feeding, lack of awareness ,faulty feeding techniques, low socioeconomic status(65%) and poor education(80%) were contributing factors leading to same. There were multiples factors in single mother for faulty feeding practices. Conclusion : Promotion, support and adherence to recommendations of breast feeding is still a gold standard to gain optimal growth and development of children. still health personnel has to do lot more to particularly in field of proper education, explanation and demonstration in field of same. Using newer media technology like mobile and TV will be helpful to spread it fast.

A Comparative Study Between Two Monitoring Techniques Of Awake Blind Nasal Intubations In Cases Of Restricted Mouth Opening
type: item
description: Background: Intubating a patient with limited or nil mouth opening is always a challenge, particularly when fibreoptic laryngoscope is not available. Awake Blind Nasotracheal Intubation[ABNI] is one of the options for intubating such patients. It requires sufficient patient cooperation and comfort. Presently available short acting analgesics and amnesias are excellent choices for this exercise. Aims: The present study was to compare the two techniques while performing nasotracheal intubation: monitoring by spontaneous respiratory movement in rebreathing bag of breathing circuit, with monitoring by EtCO2 tubing attached to breathing circuit while performing [ABNI]. Study Design: This prospective randomized study of 60 patients undergoing Commando surgery with anticipated difficult airway. They were randomly assigned into two groups of 30 each according to the method used for [ABNI]. After complete airway block, Group (A) patients were monitored by spontaneous respiratory movement in rebreathing bag of breathing circuit while performing [ABNI] and while Group (B) patients were monitored by EtCO2 tubing attached to breathing circuit while performing [ABNI]. 20 patients were intubated at first attempt, 6 at second and 4 patients at third attempt in Group A, while 21were intubated at first, 5 at second and 4 at third attempt in Group B. These differences were insignificant. The mean time required for successful intubation was in Group A (2.47± 0.068) min. and in Group B (2.42±0.057) min. which was insignificant. Also, success rate, hemodynamic changes and complications and severity score were comparable in both groups. In conclusion: This study showed that both the techniques in performing [ABNI] are equally valuable. There was no significant difference between the success rates of both techniques.[ABNI] under topical anesthesia may provide an alternative safe method in anticipated difficult intubation, particularly if fiberoptic bronchoscope is not available.

Choledochal Cyst: A Surgical Experience In Adults
type: item
description: Background: Choledochal Cyst are congenital dilatation of the biliary system including the common, intrahepatic and intrapancreatic bile duct. Cysts have a tendency for complication and high risk of malignant changes over time. Surgery is the treatment of choice. We present our surgical experience of choledochal cyst excision with bilioenteric anastomosis. Methods: A total 78 Choledochal cyst cases that underwent surgery at our hospital were included in the study. Cysts were classified according to the Todani modification of the Alonso Lej classification. Surgical management included Choledochal cyst excision followed by bilioenteric anastomosis in form of Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. Anastomotic patency and liver function tests were checked in all patients before transanastomotic tube removal. Results: Mean age of study subject was 16.67 years with most cases below 20 years age. Female preponderance was seen among study cases with 56 (71.79%) female and 22 male patients. Most common presenting complaint was abdominal pain 60 (76.92%), followed by jaundice 32 (41.03%), nausea/vomiting in 20 (25.64%), palpable mass 18 (23.06%) and cholangitis with fever in 16 (20.51%) patients. Pancreatitis was observed in 15 (19.23%) patients. Prior history of cholecystectomy was seen in 12 (15.38%) of cases. In 78 cases (Type I, and IVb) included in our study, cyst excision was done followed by Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. Surgical site infections were reported in 5 cases (6.4%), transient bile leak which was treated conservatively in 1 case (1.25%) and intra-abdominal collections seen in 2 cases (2.5%). No mortality was reported in present study. Malignancy (Cholangiocarcinoma) was seen in 1 case (0.9%). A satisfactory Anastomotic patency and liver function tests were achieved in all patients after 3 weeks of surgery, when transanastomotic tube was removed.

Anaesthetic Management Of Paediatric Patients Undergoing Scoliosis Surgery In Camp
type: item
description: Background Scoliosis is most commonly idiopathic in origin, but it may be congenital or secondary to neuromuscular disease, trauma, infection or neoplasm. Aim: Aims of surgery is to correct the curvature, improve posture and reduce progression of respiratory dysfunction. Objectives: Perioperative challenges for anaesthetist in scoliotic surgery are to avoid hypothermia, hemodynamic stability, spinal cord monitoring, positioning, induced hypotension, major blood loss, postoperative pain management and intensive care management of patient. Material and method: After taking parenteral consent, 15 paediatric patient’s data were collected who underwent scoliotic correction surgery over 12 days from 1st to 12th January of 2019. Result:Children underwent posterior fusion scoliosis surgery aged (11.2 ± 2.3) years. surgical duration and blood loss were (7.5 ±1.5) hours, (856 ±235) ml respectively. patients were shifted to ICU because of prolonged procedure and major fluid shift. Conclusion: Cardio-respiratory dysfunction may exist as a result of progressive scoliosis or related to coexisting disease, therefore careful preoperative assessment is required. Intraoperative considerations include the prone position, avoiding hypothermia, minimizing blood loss and monitoring spinal cord function. Good postoperative pain control is essential and requires a multimodal approach.

type: item
description: CONTEXT Opioids as an adjuvant to hyperbaric Bupivacaine improves perioperative analgesia with minimal side effects. AIM-The aim of the study is to compare the effect of intrathecal Nalbuphine and Fentanyl as adjuvants to hyperbaric Bupivacaine on onset and duration of sensory blockade, onset and duration of motor blockade, two segment sensory regression time, duration of effective postoperative analgesia and incidence of side effects. STUDY DESIGN Prospective observational study ETHICAL ASPECT AND METHODS After all ethical committee clearance and written informed consent, 60 patients of ASA grade I and II undergoing inguinal hernia surgery will be randomly divided into two groups: Group I – 0.5 % Bupivacaine(heavy) 3 ml + Nalbuphine 0.1 ml (1 mg) and Group II – 0.5% Bupivacaine(heavy) 3 ml + Fentanyl 0.5 ml (25 µg). RESULT There was no significant difference in onset ofsensory and motor blockade.Duration of sensory blockade was significantly prolonged (111.42 ± 9.21 min) in Group I than in Group II (102.32 ± 6.45 min) and duration of motor block was significantly extended in patients of Group I(144.65± 15.12 min) than Group II (130.42 ±11.12 min). The duration of effective analgesia was significantly more in group I than group II, with no significant side effects. CONCLUSION-1 mg Nalbuphine in 3 ml 0.5% hyperbaric Bupivacaine in patients increases the duration of sensory and motor block as compared to Fentanyl as well as provides effective analgesia time more than Fentanyl in patients scheduled for inguinal hernia surgery under subarachnoid block.

Comparative Study Of Oral Submucosal Fibrosis Management With Two Drug Combination (Triamcinolone And Hyaluronidase) V/S Three Drug Combination (Triamcinolone, Hyaluronidase And Placental Extract)
type: item
description: Background: Oral submucosal fibrosis (OSMF) is a precancerous condition of the oral mucosa. It is exclusively occurring among Indians and South Asiatic people. It occurs due to areca nut consumption which leads to inflammation of oral and pharyngeal mucosa and impaired collagen metabolism. These leads to burning sensation in oral cavity, fibrosis of mucosal lining and trismus in OSMF. Aim: Aim of the study is to know the effect of triamcinolone, hyaluronidase and placental extract in different combination in OSMF grade II and III patients. Material& Method: A prospective study of 50 patients was done where they were divided in two groups. First group was treated with combination triamcinolone & hyaluronidase and second group was treated with triamcinolone, hyaluronidase and placental extract. Effectiveness of treatment was measured by visual analogue scale in pre and post treatment period. Mean score value for each symptoms was compared in two groups. Result: At the end of study, burning sensation showed maximum improvement where mean score for first group was 0.92±0.15 and 0.84±0.16 in second group. For mouth opening, mean score of 3.68±0.26 was seen in first group and mean score of 3.24±0.21 was seen in second group. Both of these results show that second group can give better result compare to first group. Overall improvement was better in second group on comparing mean value score. Thus, OSMF patients show significant improvement (<0.05) by medical treatment. in. Conclusion: Maximal improvement seen in the burning sensation followed by other symptoms like colour of oral mucosa, fibrotic band and mouth opening in decreasing order in both the groups. Results were better with three drug combination group. Thus, corticosteroids, hyaluronidase and placental extract shows good improvement in OSMF patients in the form of relief of symptoms.

Comparative Evaluation Of Intrathecal Fentanyl And Midazolam As An Adjuvant With Hyperbaric Bupivacaine In Caesarean Section
type: item
description: Background The study was done to compare and evaluate the effects of intrathecal fentanyl and midazolam as an adjuvant with hyperbaric bupivacaine. Material and methodsThis study was conducted on 90 adult female patients aged 18-35 years and ASA grade I/II undergoing elective or emergency caesarean section. The patients were randomly divided into three groups having 30 patients in each group.Group A received 1.5ml 0.5% Bupivacaine plus 0.5ml NS, Group B received 1.5ml 0.5% Bupivacaine with 0.5ml(25 mcg) Fentanyl, Group C received 1.5ml 0.5% Bupivacaine with 0.5ml (2.5 mg) Midazolam. Results There was no significant difference in the demographic data and surgical characteristics in the three groups.Regression to sensory level S2 was significantly prolonged in Group B(257.87±11.95 min) and Group C(252.87±8.66min) as compared to Group A(151.80±8.0min). However, the duration of motor blockade was comparable between Group A, Group B and Group C (P value>0.05). Duration of complete and effective analgesia was significantly prolonged in the Group B and Group C as compared to Group A (p<0.0001). ConclusionPresent study demonstrated that addition of fentanyl (25μg) and Midazolam (2.5 mg) to low dose bupivacaine (7.5 mg) intrathecally in patients undergoing caesarean section improves the quality of anaesthesia and post-operative analgesia with hemodynamic stability and without compromising neonatal outcome.

A Comparative Retro-Spective Study Between Excision Followed By Secondary Healing And Limberg’s Flap Surgery For Pilonidal Sinus
type: item
description: Objective: The study was undertaken to compare the operative time, wound related complications, hospital stay, wound healing time and rate of recurrence between the two techniques of pilonidal sinus surgery. Methodology: This was a comparative retrospective study carried out at a tertiary care hospital of patients operated from June 2017 to January 2019. 40 patients were studied who were equally divided into 2 groups, Group A – excision followed by secondary healing group and Group B – Limberg’s flap group. Results: The outcomes were compared between both groups. In Group A, mean operative time was 28.75 min while in Group B, it was 56.25min. In Group A, 6(30%) patients developed redness and induration of the surrounding skin while in Group B, 2(10%) patients developed discharge from the wound with surrounding redness followed by gaping and other 3(15%) patients had flap necrosis. In Group A, mean hospital stay and wound healing time were 7.15 days and 31.75 days respectively while in Group B, it was 5.75 days and 14.05 days respectively. In Group A, 2(10%) patients had recurrence during the follow up period of 6 months while in group B there was no recurrence. Conclusion: Limberg’s flap surgery has significantly longer operative time and shorter wound healing time as compared to the excision followed by secondary healing but there is no significant difference between both techniques in terms of hospital stay, wound related complications or rate of recurrence. Limberg’s flap may be a good alternative to the secondary healing technique as it has lesser hospital stay and lesser recurrence but a larger randomized study & long term follow up are required for definitive conclusions and recommendation.

Comparison Of Higher Order Aberrations In Keratoconic Eyes With Regular High Astigmatic Eyes
type: item
description: TITLE: Comparison of higher order aberrations in keratoconic eyes with regular high astigmatic eyes. PURPOSE: The purpose of the study is to quantify HOAs by comparing topometric measurement and anterior corneal aberrations in eyes with keratoconus and with regular high astigmatism using placido based topographer OBJECTIVE: To understand and correlate the value and type of aberration in regular as to keratoconic induced astigmatism. STUDY DESIGN: Cross sectional observational comparative study. METHODS: study performed on 30 eyes as per inclusion criteria with mild to moderate keratoconus with astigmatism >3.0D and 30 eyes with regular high astigmatism with astigmatism >3.0D. Topographic indices and the total corneal wavefront were measured by placido’s disc based topographer which measures aberrations using ray tracing techniques. The wavefront aberrations upto fourth order and low, high and total RMS were analysed and compared between these groups. 1 RESULTS: All topometric indices were higher in keratoconus eyes compared to regular high astigmatism eyes (P<0.01). Higher order aberrations in regular high astigmatic eye, oblique trefoil, vertical coma, spherical aberration and secondary astigmatism were -0.10±0.14, 0.01±0.15, 0.23±0.08 and -0.07±0.06 respectively which were significantly higher in keratoconic eyes as compared with regular high astigmatism as to 0.65±0.41, -1.17±0.85, -0.51±0.38 and 0.31±0.32 respectively (P<0.01). All RMS values were found increased in keratoconic eyes (P<0.01). No significant difference was found in lower order aberrations between both the groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION:- Oblique trefoil, Vertical coma, Spherical aberrations and Secondary astigmatism aberrations may useful for differentiating regular high astigmatism verses irregular high astigmatic eye.

A Comparative Study Between Open Inguinal Hernia Repair And Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair
type: item
description: Background:- The word “hernia” derived from Latin term meaning “a rupture”[1]. A hernia is defined as an area of weakness or complete disruption of fibromuscular tissue of body wall can pass through or herniate through defect[1]. In all ventral abdominal hernias, Inguinal hernia is the most common. Inguinal hernia repair is common in surgical practice. In past, the repair was pure open tissue repair which was changed to open prosthetic mesh repair. Laparoscopic groin hernia repair was first performed by Ger in 1979[1]. The laparoscopic approach to hernia repair has since evolved into common and effective procedure. Methods:- The presented study is a prospective, open labelled, randomized, comparative study during a period from May-2017 to March-2019. After taking written consent from the patients were randomly allocated to two groups. Group A, Open hernioplasty were operated with open tension free Lichtenstein’s hernioplasty. Group B, laparoscopic hernioplasty were operated with Transabdominal Preperitoneal(TAPP) repair. Those patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria are included in study. The mode of presentation, surgical treatment and postoperative complications were all evaluated and compared. Results:- During the study there were no major life threatening complications were reported in either group. The postoperative pain and need of analgesics, presence of surgical site infections were more in Open hernioplasty group compared to laparoscopy group. The time taken for return to routine daily activities and work was earlier in patients treated with laparoscopy compared to open surgery and good cosmetic results. Conclusions:- Laparoscopic hernia repair has better, evolving & effective procedure in recent days compared to open hernia repair in terms of less postoperative complications, early recovery with good cosmetic results.

Management Of Spontaneous Pneumothorax In Er Of A Tertiary Care Hospital – An Observational Study.
type: item
description: Introduction: Pneumothorax is an emergency having high mortality rate. Early recognition and management is crucial. Aim: To study the demographic data, clinical presentation, risk factor and management of cases of spontaneous pneumothorax presenting to ED. Material and Method: Observational analytical study done in 75 patients aged 20-74 years admitted at a tertiary care hospital from April 2018 to March 2019. Patients coming with spontaneous pneumothorx in ER were included in the study. History of trauma and iatrogenic causes were excluded. Result: Details about demographic data, clinical presentation, risk factor and management were recorded. Their main complaints were dyspnoea followed by chest pain. In our study out of 75 patients, ICD was inserted in 63 patients,7 patients managed with simple needle aspiration and 5 patients were treated conservatively. In our study 58 patients were shifted to E Ward/ICU, 8 patients were shifted to CT Sx ward, 5 patients shifted to ward, 3 patients took LAMA and 1 patient expired. Conclusion: In our study we found that SSP (secondary spontaneous pneumothorax) is more common than PSP (primary spontaneous pneumothorax) , majority of patients were male and COPD(chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases) is the commonest cause of the SSP. Intercostal tube drainage is the main mode of management.
