Background: Infertility is defined by WHO and ICMART as a disease of the reproductive system by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more regular unprotected sexual intercourse. Objective of this study were to assess the role of hysteroscopy and laparoscopy in the evaluation of female infertility. To assess the therapeutic role of these endoscopic modalities in cases of infertility.Methods: A prospective study of 112 women coming with the complain of infertility to a tertiary care centre hospital in Ahmedabad over a period of 30 months from January 2017 to June 2019.Results: Of the 112 cases, 69.7% had primary infertility and 30.3% had secondary infertility. Septum was the most common hysteroscopic finding (7.1%) followed by polyps (5.4%) and synechiae (3.6%). Adhesions was the most common laparoscopic finding (23.2%) followed by tubal blocks (19.7%) and fibroid (17.9%). Polycystic ovaries were seen in 12.5% patients followed by endometriosis in 10.7% women. Myomectomy was most common therapeutic procedure (17.9%) followed by adhesiolysis in 14.3% women and PCO drilling in 8.9% women.Conclusions: Hysterolaparoscopy is useful as a diagnostic and therapeutic measure for women having infertility.

Aim- To assess the role of TLC and NLR and serum creatinine in diagnosing acute appendicitis. Background-Acute appendicitis being the most common surgical emergency globally can lead to varied consequences if not detected and treated accurately. Early and precise biochemical detectors affect the severity of acute appendicitis. Materials and methodology- A prospective study was conducted in K R Hospital, Mysore from 2019-2020. All cases of acute appendicitis during this period were assessed for severity. TLC, NLR and serum creatinine were assessed and correlated with severity of acute appendicitis. Results- A total of 96 patients were included in the study, 72 patients had SAA and 24 had CAA. This was classified in accordance to the cut off values. TC cut off point was 15,050 cells/cumm ,Sn 91.7 %, Sp 74.6%. The NLR cutoff value was 4.56, Sn of 83.3%, Sp of 66.2%. The cutoff value for neutrophil count was 77.6%, Sn 91.7% , Sp 71.18%. The cutoff value for lymphocyte count was 18.2%, Sn was 91.7%, Sp 65.8%. The cutoff value of creatinine was 0.73, Sn of 83.3%, Sp 80.03%. Conclusion- TC, TLC, NLR and Serum creatinine combinedly help distinguishing between the simple acute appendicitis and complicated acute appendicitis and is a very economical measure for the prediction

Background: Infertility affects about 10-15% of reproductive age couples. The main causes of infertility include male factor, ovulatory disorders, tubal factor and endometriosis. This study was conducted to determine the role of Diagnostic hystero-laparoscopy (DHL) in the evaluation of female infertility.Methods: This study was a prospective study done in a tertiary care centre over a period of 1 year on all infertile couples. The exclusion criteria: male factor infertility, hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, acute pelvic inflammatory disease. Diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy was performed in all study patients in pre ovulatory phase, under general anaesthesia. The findings were then documented and analysed.Results: A total number of 90 patients were recruited for the study. The mean age of the patients was 28±3 years. The mean BMI of the study patients was 25±4 kg/m2. The mean duration of infertility was 5.4 years. On laparoscopy, 28 patients had polycystic ovaries (31.1%), 4 patients had pelvic adhesions (4.4%), 2 patients had endometriosis (2.2%) and tubal block was identified in 10 patients (11.11%). 10 patients had abnormal findings on hysteroscopy.Conclusions: Hystero laparoscopy is an effective diagnostic tool in the evaluation of infertility and has to be included in basic diagnostic workup.

Introduction: Ear diseases are common in children mainly due to altered anatomy of Eustachian tube which is straighter in children as compared to that in adults. However, the cause of hearing loss in children is more varied, including the etiologies. This study was done to find out the pattern of ear diseases in paediatric age group attending ear, nose and throat OPD in a tertiary care centre in Pokhara, Nepal. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study done in paediatric patients attending ENT OPD over a period of one year from January 2010 to January 2011. The diagnoses were made on the basis of history and clinical examination. Results were expressed in numbers and percentages. Results: Out of 1632 Pediatric ENT patients, 944 had ear diseases, 59.2% were males and 40.8% females. Wax (33.4%) was the commonest diagnosis followed by Chronic suppurative otitis media (24.3%) and Acute ottitis media (13%). Conclusion: Ear diseases are most common condition in ENT OPD among paediatric age group. Wax, CSOM and ASOM were the three most common ear diseases. J. Nepal Paediatr.
