The cases that fulfil the selection criteria will be enrolled as study samples with a view to see correlation with glycosylated Hb, vascular changes and duration of DM. This cross-sectional study was performed in the Department of Skin and VD and the Department of Pathology of BIRDEM, Dhaka, Bangladesh from March 2017 to February 2019. Study population was all diabetic patients with skin diseases attending dermatology department of BIRDEM hospital. Among them 90 patients were selected who will do skin biopsy with diabetes mellitus. Skin biopsy tissue and blood sample were taken as materials to determine the type of skin lesion in patients with satisfactory and unsatisfactory glycaemic control; the relationship of diabetic skin lesions with duration of diabetes; and assessing the cutaneous or dermal capillary vascular changes was in Diabetes Mellitus and its correlation with HbA1c level and duration of Diabetes Mellitus. Among 90 cases age ranged from 31 to 85 years with mean age of the patients 55.06 ± 12.10 years. Maximum patients were in age group 41-50 years (32.2%). Skin disorders in Diabetes mellitus are more common in female in this study. Almost three fourth of the patients glycemic status was unsatisfactory. Satisfactory glycemic patients were 17 cases (18.9%) and unsatisfactory glycemic patients were 73 cases (81.1%). Mean HbA1c shows unsatisfactory glycemic status among 90 cases in this study. Mean HbA1c is more unsatisfactory in female patients in this study. Most common group of lesion was 37.7 % belong to miscellaneous group followed by skin diseases with strong to weak association with DM. There were no significant differences in different types of skin lesions between satisfactory and unsatisfactory blood glucose patients. Majority of the cases (37.8%) occurred after 10 years of diagnosis of DM. Mean duration of DM was highest among the patients with skin reaction to diabetic treatment (10.04±6.19).

The mucin lakes may also be a physiological barrier for the delivery of targeted therapy to the tumors cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the morphologic and histologic prognostic factors of mucinous and non-mucinous adenocarcinoma of the colon and rectum. In this descriptive cross-sectional type of observational study a total of 98 samples with colorectal adenocarcinoma were evaluated on the basis of presence or absence of the mucin from 2017 and 2018.

These were mostly placed along with endoscopic third ventriculostomy and some were placed as an intermediary procedure to combat shunt complications in emaciated infants. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) aspiration was done in case of failed endoscopic third ventriculostomy and the frequency of aspiration depended upon the production of cerebrospinal fluid. Acetazolamide was routinely administered in each patient to reduce the frequency of aspiration. Most of the patients required ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt while they had sufficient body weight and few required no surgery. The average age at presentation was 76.88 days. All the neonates and infants had less weight in terms of their age. 42.4% of babies needed aspiration 2 times per week. Among all cases, 9.1% developed reservoir complications. Complications were not related to the number and volume of aspiration or duration of the reservoir in the body. Two (2) patients died after one year of reservoir implantation due to unknown etiology. Out of the 31 survivors, 3 patients did not need any further aspiration and 19 patients needed a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt, but the reservoir was kept in situ for a future emergency.
