Background: Clomiphene citrate (CC) is still the most common drug for ovulation induction. Most physicians use hCG trigger routinely for follicle rupture. Ideally hCG is recommended only where there is no spontaneous LH surge. Hence this study was conducted to see the role of hCG for follicle rupture in CC induced cycle. Aims and objectives of the study were to compare the ovulation rate in CC induced cycle with or without hCG trigger and finally the conception rate.Methods: Study was conducted in the department of OBG, LLRM medical college Meerut on women with anovulatory infertility. All women were given 50-100 mg CC. Follicular study from D-9 was done till follicle rupture. Women in group A were observed without any trigger and women in group B were given inj. hCG trigger 10,000 IU when follicle size reached 20-22 mm.Results: Conception rates were 25% Vs 31% in group A and group B. Follicle rupture was seen in 84% cases in group A and 71% in group B. Results were comparable in both the groups.Conclusions: By adding inj. hCG for ovulation trigger does not increase the conception rate. LH surge is already there in CC induced cycles. It is having role only in cases where no LH surge is there.

INTRODUCTION: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common condition affecting men those are 50 years of age and above.TURP is still the widely used technique for management of BPH. TURPwith advent of newer technologies in diathermy and visual scope, has turned into a relatively safe one. AIM:To study role of catheter traction on blood loss and complications in patients with TURP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was done among patients of BPH admitted in the Department of Surgery at S.N. Medical College, Agra during the period from January 2019 to February 2020. Total 60 cases were enrolled in the study and divided into two groups. Group A(30 patients) with traction on catheter after TURPand Group B(30 patients) without traction on catheter. DISCUSSION: Blood loss and irrigation uid was signicantly less in the group with traction on foley's catheter. Duration of hospital stay and complications were also lesser in group with traction. CONCLUSION: Traction on foley's catheter post TURP is effective in managing BPH with the merits of higher safety due to less blood loss and early discharge.

AIM: To study the effect of adjuvant melatonin with clomiphene citrate on ovulution and fertility rates in infertile PCO patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 107 cases participated in the study out of which 7 women were excluded from the study. So the results of 100 women were analyzed. Out of 100 women 50 were of group A i.e. clomiphene supplemented with melatonin group and 50 were in group B which was clomiphene only group with no supplementation. Cases were followed for three cycles and pregnancy rates in both groups were evaluated. RESULTS: Study demonstrated the potential benefit of melatonin supplementation in naturally conceived cycles where ovulation induction was given by en-clomiphene citrate. The ovulation rates were comparable in both study Vs control group (68% Vs 66%) while there was increase in pregnancy rate in melatonin group (36% Vs 24%). However difference between pregnancy rates in both the groups failed to reach statistically significant levels (p value 0.4065). CONCLUSION: The adjuvant role of melatonin with en-clomiphene citrate in cases of Infertile PCO patients is in improving pregnancy rates; which is due to strong anti-oxidant effect of melatonin which in turn reduces oxidative stress thus resulting in good quality oocyte production.

Background: Many minimally invasive interventional techniques as well as expectant treatments exist for the management of lower ureteric calculi.Methods: 100 patients [group A (50 patients) patients given capsule tamsulosin 0.4mg, 1 daily up to 4 weeks while group B (50 patients) patients given regularly practiced treatment without Tamsulosin] with distal ureteric stone included in the study. Study duration was 6 months and study performed at S.P. Medical College. Bikaner, Rajasthan, India.Results: Group A showed a statistically significant advantage in terms of the stone expulsion rate. 41 patients (82%) in group A and 30 patients (60%) in group B expelled stones. Overall patients in group A had mean expulsion time of 7.86 days, whereas in group B mean expulsion time was 18.64 days. In group A stone expulsion rate was higher as compared to group B. In group A only 12 (24%) patients experienced pain relapses whereas in group B 32 (64%) patients reported pain relapses. The diclofenac dosage required in group A was observed to be 1.62 tablets whereas in group B it was 2.6 tablets.Conclusions: It is concluded that tamsulosin should be considered for uncomplicated distal ureteral calculi before ureteroscopy or extracorporeal lithotripsy. Tamsulosin has been found to increase and hasten stone expulsion rates, decrease acute attacks by acting as a spasmolytic, reduces mean days to stone expulsion and decreases analgesic dose usage.

Testosterone is the male sex hormone responsible for growth of secondary sexual characters and accessory sex organs. Despite the effectiveness as a male sex i101711011C, testosterone causes benign preemie hyperplasia (BPH) resulting in urinary dysfinction. On the other hand. Bromide is a pure anthestosterone, which blockw the effects of dihydnoestosterone (DHT)at the testosterone receptor and presents BM. The objective of the study was to observe the effects of flutamide on testosterone induced promatic hypetplasia in Long Evans rats. This experimental study was carried or I e Department of Anatomy. Sir Salimullah Medical College. Dhaka from January to December 2006. Forty five matured male Long Evans rats of age 8-10 weeks and weighing 200-300 gnu were used in this study. They were divided into three equal groups. Group A was vehicle (olive oil) control group. Group B was testosterone treated group and Group C was testosterone and flu:amide treated group. Comparative study in different groups were done microscopically. There was significant reduction (p<0.001) qproslatic hypetplasia. The mean diameter of acini of prostate in flutamide treated rats was loner than the testosterone treated rats. It can be concluded from this study that flatamide is an effective drug against testosterone induced prostatic hyperplasia.

Background: Infertility is commonly defined as the failure of conception after at least twelve months of unprotected intercourse. Factors contributing are both male and female in which unexplained etiology accounts for 51%, male factor 28%, endometriosis 17% and ovulatory disorders 4%.Methods: Prospective, randomized study was conducted at DRRPG medical college, Tanda, Kangra, Himachal Pradesh. In our study, patients were randomized into two groups of 30 each. Women in group A received clomiphene citrate 100mg/day and group B received letrozole 2.5 mg/day from day 3-7 of menstrual cycle. All the patients received human menopausal gonadotropin 75 U given every alternate day from day 5 until HCG administration. Ovulation was triggered with recombinant HCG (5000 IUIM) when the dominant follicles reached 18 mm in diameter. A single IUI was performed 36 hours later. A maximum of four cycles were given.Results: In our study, total number of induction cycles given in group A and B were 120 and 114 respectively. Out of these, 112 and 111 IUI cycles were done in group A and B respectively. A pregnancy rate of 1.66% and 7.87% per IUI cycle was observed in group A and B respectively.Thus it is concluded that the pregnancy rates were significantly higher in letrozole group (30%) in comparison to clomiphene citrate group (6.66%).Conclusions: Aromatase inhibitor letrozole appears to constitute a good alternative to clomiphene citrate in patients with unexplained infertility undergoing gonadotropin-stimulated COS cycles combined with IUI therapy.

Background: The anti-oxidant and the per oxidation product levels both are increased in pregnancy. Much recent works has focused on the role of oxidative disturbance in the preeclampsia and eclampsia. Preeclampsia remains a leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.Methods: This prospective study was conducted in upper India sugar exchange and maternity hospital, department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, GSVM Medical College, Kanpur in Collaboration with department of pathology, GSVM Medical College, Kanpur (UP), India. All the patients selected for the present study, both from control and study group was in detail with regard the clinical history, general examination, local examination, basic investigation and Specific Investigation, Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD). Blood samples would be collected with the informed consent from control as well as study group for assessment of antioxidant status by determining levels of superoxide dismutase.Results: The mean age and BMI of control as well as study group is almost same. The incidence of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia in primipara was 29.31 and in multiparous it was 9.52 in all groups. It implies that 95% cases will have improvement in SOD value with mean difference in improvement of at least 0.297807. There is statistically significant difference in mode of delivery by LSCS in study group A as compared to study group B and control in PIH patients. The incidence of complications is significantly higher in Study Group A as compared to control group and Study Group B. There is statistically significant difference in the incidence of preterm birth in study group A as well as Study Group B as compared to control. However, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of preterm birth after giving intervention to the study group. When cut off value of SOD enzyme as < 0.578U/mg of protein, sensitivity is 66.07% and specificity as 51.85%.Conclusions: Vitamin-c supplementation will only prevent PIT in PIH with already reduced antioxidant status.

Background: Self medication is an important component of primary health care. It involves treatment of common ailments on ones own initiative or on the advice of a pharmacist. With the easy accessibility to information regarding use of drugs, there is an alarming increase in the self medication practices. Medical students, during their course of study gain considerable knowledge of drugs and it may have an influence on their self medication practices. The present study was designed to gather the knowledge, attitude and behavior of medical students towards self medication and whether an increased knowledge of drugs further promoted self medication.Methods: A questionnaire based study was carried out on students of 2nd semester students relating to their knowledge, attitude and practice of self medication.Results: Though the knowledge regarding drugs is quite comparable in both the first and third year medical students, 39% students in group A took the medicine without doctors’ advice in the last month whereas 58% 5th semester students in group B did the same.Conclusions: The frequency of self medication is higher among third year students as they believe that the medical training makes them capable enough to self medicate easily without any harm. Hence, there is need to promote rational self medication practice to bring awareness about irresponsible self medication.
