Aim: To study the frequency of various benign breast diseases in the females, to analyse the percentage of incidence of various benign breast lesions, the age distribution and different mode of presentation. Materials and Methods: A total of 74 patients were diagnosed with benign breast lesions both by fine Needle Aspiration cytology (FNAC) and Histopathology over a period of one year in a tertiary care centre were the participants of this study. The findings were tabulated in excel sheet and analyzed for the frequency of each lesion, their distribution in various age group. Results:The spectrum of Benign breast diseases diagnosed were Fibroadenoma - 55.4% (n=41), Fibrocystic disease – 27% (n=20), Phyllodes Tumour – 5.4% (n=4), Florid Ductal hyperplasia of the usual type – 4% (n=3), Intraductal papilloma – 2.7% (n=2), Breast abscess – 2.7% (n=2), Granulomatous mastitis – 1.4% (n=1) and Lactating adenoma – 1.4% (n=1). The mode of presentation of the patients was Lump in the breast - 54% (n=40), Vague mass with pain - 23% (n=17), discharge from nipple 12% (n=9) and pain in the breast-11% (n=8). Regarding the laterality of the breast disease, 47.2% (n=35) were on right side, 50% (n=37) were on left side and 2.8% (n=2) were bilateral.

Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) plate is gold standard treatment for stable Intertronchantric fracture but it has its own complication in unstable intertronchantric fracture. So newer implant was introduced “Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN)” but it has its own complication. We studied 100 cases of unstable intertrochantric fracture to know which implant is better and was clinically assessed by Kyles criteria. Aims and objectives: To compare the short term result in DHS and PFN in all type of IT fracture and to set guidelines for managements of these fracture Methodology: This was Prospective randomized study comprised of unstable Fracture Intertronchantric treated by DHS and PFN. The cases were selected by envelop method for fixation unstable IT Fracture. The series consist of 100 cases were divided into 2 groups of patient treated by DHS and PFN . These cases where followed up for 6 months. Fracture stability was assessed by according to EVANS classification. Results: The mean time needed for the two procedures was 56.6 minutes (range 45-65 min) in Group A (DHS) and 40.8 minutes (range 35-51 min) in Group B (PFN).

It is a group of diseases that are of abrupt onset and causing neurologic damage due to vascular cause. Aims &Objectives: The study conducted to establish the value of the Brain Imaging (Computerized Tomography scan) and its advantages over traditional methods of clinical diagnosis of stroke. Hence its correlation with radiological findings helps in deciding the treatment guidelines. Material &Methods: 100 cases of Cerebrovascular accidents (excluding traumatic) were studied at Sir Takhatsinghji hospital, Bhavnagar from May 2006- April 2007. All cases were primarily diagnosed by clinical examination and further Evaluated by CT scan. Result : Out of 100 cases clinically diagnosed as a case of Cerebrovascular accident (CVA), diagnosis was confirmed by CT Scan in 84 cases (84%)[ infarct and hemorrhage] and in 16 cases (16%) had diagnosis other than Cerebrovascular accident. Potentially treatable conditions like hematoma, intracranial mass, meningitis or intracranial infections can be missed if we do not do Brain Imaging. Conclusion: CT scan (Brain Imaging Modalities) is better than clinical method (including scoring system) in diagnosis of Cerebrovascular accident and other stroke mimicking conditions. So it must be done in all cases whenever feasible for deciding the treatment guideline and for better outcome.

To correct this Ministry of Health and Family Welfare had appointed the expert group for MTP Act and amend it to enable increased access to safe abortion services for all women. The WHOs preferred methods to safely and effectively terminate pregnancy during the first trimester of pregnancy are vacuum aspiration and medication abortion. Objectives: To evaluate and compare the efficacy of MVA and EVA in first trimester pregnancy termination. Methods: Study includes cases of pregnancy with less than or equal to 12 weeks of gestation. After receiving consent, cases allocated in two groups Group A followed Manual Vacuum Aspiration while Group B followed Electric Vacuum Aspiration. Each group contains 75 cases. During these procedures, relation of uterine size, blood loss, post-operative pain score, complications were noted and compared between two procedures. Results: The average blood loss was significantly higher in MVA group in more than 10 weeks of gestation. MVA is comparatively less painful than EVA. There is no major difference in complications. Conclusion: MVA is best suited for infra-structure in rural areas and is very useful in poor resource setting hence It is best suited for rural setting, where there is an unmet need for abortion services.

Objectives: To assess the relationship between serum uric acid levels and hemodialysis efficiency among end stage renal disease patients in Hail, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A total of 255 hemodialysis patients (102 males and 153 females) were enrolled in this retrospective study. The range was 25 to 83 years with median age of 51 years. Blood samples drawn from patients before and after the hemodialysis session were analyzed for urea, creatinine, and uric acid. Results: The proportion of female patinets with CKD was significantly higher (60%,(p<0.05), than the males in the patient group examined. Among hemodialysis patients, the incidence of hypertension was 86 % (p<0.05). There was a negative association between UA and hemodialysis efficiency in patients aged less than 50 years. In addition, a significant correlation was observed between levels of UA and urea (r=0.579 p <0.001) and creatinine (r=0.736 p <0.001).
