Majority of the cases, the diagnosis of RCCs and its subtype can be based on histomorphological evaluation. Accurate pathological classification along with staging and grading of the tumor are necessary for prognosis and various therapeutic options. Materials and Methods: It was a retrospective observational study. This study conducted in histopathology department of the Center for Kidney Disease & urology (CKD & Urology) Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study period was eight month from February 2021 to September 2021. The specimens were both partial and total nephrectomy sample of more than 38 years of aged patients. Results: Total 62 nephrectomy specimens were received. Fifty seven (57) cases were malignant tumor and five cases were benign lesions. Majority of malignant tumor consisting of clear cell type renal cell carcinoma 37 (64.91%), followed by papillary type 12 (21.05%), Chromophobe (8.77%), two cases (3.5%) were sarcomatoid cell type and one case (1.75%) of Multiloculated Cystic Renal Neoplasm was noted. Renal cell carcinoma was seen in age range of 38 to 78years with 32 (56.14%) patients more than 50 years of age. Total 42 (73.68%) cases were ISUP Grade 1 and 2 and majority cases were (66.66%) presented at AJCC stage (pT2). Conclusion: In conclusion we observed significant increased clear cell type renal cancer in our institution based population. There was similar male to female ratio, mean tumor size as well as Grade 1, 2 and Stage pT 2 as compared to other studies.","PeriodicalId":397187,"journal":{"name":"Global Academic Journal of Medical Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130639589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted from January 2013 to December 2013 in casualty department, Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College hospital, Bogura, Bangladesh. One hundred twenty patients and nine doctors of the casualty department were purposively selected and interviewed by structured questionnaire and facilities were observed through checklist.

Male participants made up the majority of the group (84.2%), while female participants made up roughly 15.8%. 20% of all respondents worked as farmers, followed by 18% of students, 17% of employees, 13% of housewives, and 6% of day laborers. The bulk of respondents earned between 4,000 and 10,000 BDT per month. Conclusion: More than two-thirds of the respondents were male, and more than three- quarters of them were in the age range of 20 to 30 years. This group represents the active age demographic and is more likely to be involved in accidents since they work and live outside. More over half of the patients at the casualty department throughout the research period were single.

It is an important cause of morbidity and mortality of young and growing children in rural areas of developing countries. Young growing anemic children have various clinical symptoms including, pallor, Jaundice, fever, cough, breathlessness, hyper-pigmentation, tremors, and hepatosplenomegaly. Aim of the Study: Aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical manifestations, and grades of anaemia in different age groups. Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Paediatrics at Dhaka Shishu Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh. A total of 95 patients were enrolled and analyzed in this study from July 2021 to December 2021. Result: In the present study of the prevalence of anemia and hematological parameters in children aged 1-18 years 10(10.53%) children were <1 year, 37(38.95%) were between 1-5 years, 28(29.47%) were aged between 6-10 years, and 11(11.58%) were between 11-15 years.

However, until recently, few reports have been obtained regarding the role of FNAC in non-thyroidal neck masses in children. Therefore, the objective of our study was to determine the diagnostic value of fine needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of pediatric non-thyroidal neck masses. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at the Department of Pathology of Bangladesh Shishu (Children) Hospital & Institute January 2019 to December 2021. Hundred patients with non-thyroidal neck masses fulfilling the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Fine needle aspirations were performed, smears prepared and stained by Hematoxylin and Eosin stain. Results: The most common non-neoplastic neck swelling seen in children were an enlarged lymph node due to inflammation 38(42.2%), i.e., reactive lymphadenitis. Others were TB lymphadenitis 25 (27.8%), non-TB granulomatous lymphadenitis 2(2.22%), chronic sialadenitis 2(2.22%), branchial cyst 4(4.44%) and epidermal cyst 3(3.33%) cases.

Moreover, more number of needle biopsy may be associated with more complication. Methods: In this hospital based Quasi experimental study, a total of 50 patients were allocated into two groups by purposive sampling technique where 6 core prostate biopsy in one group and 12 core biopsy in another group. Baseline demographic and clinical data were recorded. Post procedural morbidity & histopathological findings were recorded. All the collected data were compiled. Further Statistical analyses of the results were obtained by using Microsoft Xcel, 2010 and web based computer software - Graph Pad Software, 2017. A probability value (p) of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: The baseline characteristics like age, S.PSA, prostate volume & DRE findings were similar in two groups. Cancer detection rate was not significantly different between the 6 core biopsy group and 12 core biopsy group (48% Vs 60%, p=0.395). Dysuria with difficulty in micturition and hematuria after biopsy significantly more in 12 core biopsy group (24% Vs 44% and 32% Vs 60% respectively).

Using Internet search engines and various databases (Medline, Google Scholar, Researchgate, Scielo), a bibliographic review of scientific papers related to the electromagnetic field generated in the nerves, when they act as current conductors, has been carried out. For this work we use, theoretically, the right-hand rule in electromagnetism. So, we apply it to a model nerve, to determine what its hyperbolic magnetic field is like. The conclusions are: a) Hyperbolic curves are very common in nature and human physiology. The lines of force of an electromagnetic field act on human physiology through hyperbolic curves. b) Human physiology and a nerve can be divided into smaller fragments like a magnet do and maintain their same characteristics. c) A nerve fragment is a conducting wire of electric current that generates a transversal magnetic field, according to the right-hand rule in electromagnetism.
