It is a prospective observational study comprising 53 patients over aperiod of two years. Aetiologies were determined using Kuppuswamy's socioeconomic scale. Number of exacerbations and mortality were noted. The age ranged from 14 to 80 years (mean: 43.33 ± 16.37 years). There were 35 males (66%) and 18 females (34%). Clubbing was seen in 58% cases (n = 31); 11% patients (n = 6) had haemoptysis. Bilateral involvement was seen in 64% cases (n = 34). Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and post-tuberculous sequelae were the commonest causes (n = 12, 23% each). The range of household medical expenditure in these patients varied from 6% to 47%. Lower the Kuppuswamy scale poorer the follow-up (p-value < 0.05). Multiple exacerbations were seen in all classes of patients (p-value 0.09). Death occurred in 4 patients.

This is a prospective controlled study. Eighty women seeking medical abortion with a gestation up to 56 days were included in the study. The women were randomly allotted into two groups.

Women who had not aborted completely by day 14, received a repeat dose of 400 mcg misoprostol and were evaluated on day 21 for completeness of the procedure. Five women in both the groups had incomplete abortion by day 14 (12.5%), while one woman in the test group had to undergo dilatation and evacuation on day 3 due to excessive bleeding. By repeating a second dose of misoprostol, all of them aborted completely and the complete abortion rates were markedly improved from 85% and 87.5% in the test and the control group, respectively to 97.5% and 100%, respectively.

Straining in itself is an important aetiology of inguinal hernia. Posthernioplasty retention of urine is one of the most significant complications.

This study was performed at RKMSP Hospital, Kolkata from August 2005 to January 2008. All findings were docu- mented. Prevalence of significant LUTS above 50 years undergoing inguinal hernioplasty was found to be 48% (96 out of 200). Out of 96 patients who had International Prostate Symptoms Score>7, 48 patients had maximal urine flow (Qmax) < 10 ml/second and postvoid residual urine > 100 ml, 48 patients belonged to high risk group for postoperative retention of urine. Incidence of postoperative retention of urine among high risk group among tamsulosin users was only 3(12.5%) out of 24 patients and among tamsulosin non-users was 10(41.6%) out of another 24 patients. Therefore, we concluded that among male patients > 50 years of age (undergoing groin hernia surgery) prevalence of significant LUTS increases per decade.
