Abnormally low position (drooping) of the upper eye lid is called ptosis. Common practices in correction of ptosis are different types of surgical procedures like, Fasanella-Servat procedure, Levator resection, Frontalis brow suspension (sling), Aponeurosis strengthening etc. In sling operation different types of materials are used, like, autogenus fascialata, cadaver fascilata, skin, sclera, collagen and artificial eg. Prolene, ethibond, silicone, supramid, mersilene mesh, goretex etc. The aim of study is to establish that use of prolene in sling operation gives better result. The study was carried out at BSMMU. A total thirty cases were selected for study. Technique of operation was Frontalis brow suspension (sling) procedure using prolene. The follow-up period was three months to six months. Final outcome of ptosis correction was good outcome in 24 (80%) patients out of 30. So prolene use in sling operation has excellent tensile strength, good handling properties, permanent result and better tolerance.Faridpur Med. Coll. J. Jan 2017;12(1): 31-33

Background: Infections with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) are worldwide public health problem. Thisis related to the continued occurrence of new infections and the presence of a large reservoir of chronically infected persons. Objective:To determine the frequency of risk factors (causes of transmission) for HBV and HCV infections in hospitalized patients of CMH, Lahoreand Sheikh Zayed hospital, Lahore. Design: Descriptive (cross sectional). Setting: The study was carried out in CMH, Lahore and SheikhZayed hospital, Lahore from January, 2012 to July, 2012. Methods: The patients were selected by consecutive (non-probability)sampling technique. The data was collected through questionnaire. Informed written consent was obtained SPSS version 16.0 was usedto calculate the descriptive statistics. Results: Out of total of 100 subjects, 50 were cases and 50 were controls. Out of 50 cases, 26%were HBV positive and 74% were HCV positive with female preponderance. The history of injections was very high in both the groups,making a total of 64% (14% HBV; 16% HCV) the important contributors for different types of hepatitis were blood transfusion (HBV =10%; HCV = 28%; controls = 14%). Surgical procedures (4% HBV, 28% HCV; 8% controls). History of piercing in the last six months(HBV = 6%; HCV = 22% and control = 8%). History of dental procedures in the last six months was higher in HCV patients (18% HCV and4% HBV). History of HBV or HCV positive patients or relatives at home. (HBV 18%; HCV 36%; control 30%). Conclusions: In Pakistan thereis an urgent need to raise the public awareness about importance of properly screened blood transfusion, use of disposable needles andusing new blades for shaving and haircuts especially at barber shops. In our study, the important contributors for different types ofhepatitis were blood transfusion, surgical procedures and history piercing in the last 6months.

In this paper we present a design method for a modular device used in different types of HIGH TIBIAL OSTEOTOMY surgical procedures. The requirements, necessities and functions of this modular device are presented in the first part of the article. An important aspect is the fact that the device must be designed in a manner which permit to use it for all types of HIGH TIBIAL OSTEOTOMY: opening wedge osteotomies, closing wedge osteotomies, medial osteotomies, lateral osteotomies, uniplanar osteotomies or biplanar osteotomies. This fact is possible using modular elements for the main parts of the devices. The researches could be the starting point for others researches regarding the appropriate materials and the possibility to execution customized several parts of the modular device using Additive Manufacturing facilities.

Serum concentrations of proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-8 (IL-8) in 15 patients with surgically revascularized myocardium by triple venous cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB x 3) and in 10 patients with implanted artificial aortic valves (AV) were measured. Average IL-8 concentrations in ?CPB x 3? patients and in those with artficial aortic valve were 7,3 +/- 11,6 pg/mL 24 hours before surgery, i.e. 3,3 +/- 3,4 pg/mL; six hours after surgical procedure 32,7 +/- 71,4 pg/mL, i.e. 8,9 +/- 9,9 pg/mL; and 24 hours after surgery 10,9+/-9,7pg/mL, i.e. 8,3 +/- 4,6 pg/mL. Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) caused significant increase of IL-8 serum concentration in both investigated groups six hours after surgery. Comparing preoperative values of the both groups, as well as those of 6 and 24 hours after surgery, no significant values of IL-8 were found. Various types of open heart surgical procedures had no influence on the extent of the production and secretion of proinflammatory IL-8 cytokine measured in patients during 24 hours after surgery.

Haemorrhoids are dilated veins within the anal canal in the subepithelial region formed by radicles of superior, middle and inferior rectal veins. It is a common ano-rectal disease. Thrombosed hemorrhoid is a painful swelling in the anal tissues caused by a clot in one or more small veins in the anal canal. According to modern science, there are many operative and non-operative procedures for the management of haemorrhoids. Most of the operative pro- cedures are not patient friendly, cause high economic burden and associated with complications like pain, bleeding and recurrence. Acharya Vagbhata defines Arsas (haemorrhoids) as an abnormal growth which obstructs the anal canal and troubles continuously like an enemy. Shalyatantra deals with Sastra karma (surgical procedures), Anusas- tra karma (parasurgical procedures) and conservative management in the different types of diseases. Jaluka is con- sidered as best among Anusastra. Acharya Vagbhata indicates Jalukavacharana in haemorrhoids when they are hard and swollen. The present article deals with Jalukavacharana in two patients having thrombosed haemorrhoids attended in outpatient department of VPSV Ayurveda College Kottakkal. Application of Jaluka (leech) provided improvement in features like pain, edema, tenderness and discoloration of mass. Keywords: Thrombosed haemorrhoids, Arsha, Raktamokshana, Jalukavacharana.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the incidence, microbiological features and management of surgical site infections (SSIs). Methodology: All patients in the surgical ward were followed from admissions until discharge during the study period. Only hospitalized patients with certain SSIs within 30 days of surgeries were included in the study. Results: A total of 457 patients were followed during the study period. Interestingly, only 9 (1.9 %) of the patients developed SSIs. Most of the patients were males 6 (66.7%) and Saudi nationals 7 (77.8 %). The most common surgical procedures were laparoscopic and orthopedic surgeries with a similar rate of 3 (3.3 %). Conclusion: This study revealed that the incidence of SSIs was quite lower at the hospital where the study was conducted and different types of antibiotics were used and recommended for prophylaxis.
