Background: Since the incidence of the primary carcinoma of the liver in Warangal is very high when compared to other parts of the country, the possible etiological factors have been studied for the increasing frequency of Primary carcinoma of the liver with a view for further follow up. The objective of the present study was to undertake a thorough study of histopathological changes, typing and its association with cirrhosis.Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was carried for a period of three years among 56 cases of primary carcinoma of the liver at MGM hospital. Institutional Ethics Committee permission was obtained. Informed consent was taken from each and every patient. Detailed history, clinical examination and investigations were carried out for each and every included patient. Liver biopsy was done under strict aseptic precautions.Results: The incidence of Primary carcinoma of the liver was found to be highest in males as compared to females. The highest incidence of Primary carcinoma of the liver was found in the age group of 41-50 years. In only 14.3% of cases the Primary carcinoma of the liver was associated with cirrhosis of liver. The most common type of cell found on histopathology was cylindroids type in 35.7% of cases followed by trabecular type in 28.5% of cases.Conclusions: Incidence of Primary carcinoma of the liver was found to be very high.

ABSTRACTIncreased Life Expectancy (UHH) in Indonesia is a success in the field of health and welfare. UHH can increase the elderly population (elderly) by decreasing mortality. The 2015 Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) report, UHH in 2015 became 70.8 years and will increase to 72.2 years in 2030-2035, while in Maros district in 2015 for UHH increased to 68.55 years. The aging process in the elderly has the risk of non-communicable diseases, such as hypertension. The results of the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2013, showed that the health problems in the highest elderly were Hypertension with the category age of 55-64 years of 45.9%, 65-74 years of 57.6% and 75 years and over 63.8 %.Hypertension in the elderly can affect the level of dependence on the surrounding environment. The dependency ratio of Indonesia's elderly population in 2016 was 13.65%. This means that every 100 people of productive age must bear about 14 elderly residents. The dependency ratio in South Sulawesi is 14.62%, which means that every 100 productive residents in South Sulawesi must bear around 15 elderly residentsThis study is an analytical study with a cross sectional study design. The population in this study were all elderly  aged 60-80 years. Sampling using purposive sampling with sample criteria as follows: 60 - 80 years old, have a history of hypertension and / or have high blood pressure (≥ 140/90 mmHg) at the time of measurement, Willing to be interviewed, Not having hearing and memory disorders (senile) and can be invited to communicate clearly. Samples that fit the criteria in this study were 47 people.Research result is a disobedience to the hypertension diet in elderly people with very high hypertension reaches 91.5%, and insignificant relationship between nutritional status and the independence of the elderly both the age group <75 years and the age group ≥75 years with a significant value of each p = 0.619 and p = 0.191.There is a non-significant relationship between hypertension and the independence of the elderly both in the age group <75 years and the age group ≥75 years with a significant value of p = 0.447 and p = 0.362.The elderly with hypertension sufferers should always be given counseling and / or nutritional consultation to increase their understanding of the diet being undertaken

Rotavirus is one of the leading causes of pediatric diarrhea globally. Accurate and rapid diagnosis of Rotavirus diarrhea should reduce unnecessary use of antibiotics and ultimately reduce drug resistance. Study was designed for rapid diagnosis of Rotavirus antigen in stool sample by ICT (Immunochromatographic test) as well as to observe the seasonal variation of rotavirus infection. This cross sectional study was carried out in the department of Microbiology, Dhaka Medical College from January 2011 to December 2011. Eighty stool samples were collected from Dhaka Shishu Hospital and Dhaka Medical College Hospital. All samples were tested for rotavirus antigen by ICT. Among 80 patients, 42 (52.5%) samples were positive for rotavirus antigen. Among these 42 positive samples, 30 (71.43%) were from 0-12 months of age group, 10 (23.81%) from 13 to 24 months of age group and rest 2 (4.76%) from 25 to 36 months of age group. Rotavirus Ag was detected in stool samples from January to April and another peak episode from October to December. Considering the importance of Rotavirus associated diarrhea, rapid detection of Rotavirus infection in human is substantially needed and should be routinely practiced.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmm.v6i1.19354 Bangladesh J Med Microbiol 2012; 06(01): 11-13

Hearing Outcome

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate hearing outcome after stapedotomy in patients with Otosclerosis. Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out from July 2017 to January 2019 in National Institute of ENT, Unit V. About 22 patients with Otosclerosis were included in this study. Diagnosis of Otosclerosis was based on the history, medical status with Otoscopy, Tuning fork tests and Audiometric tests. We compiled data on the pre and post operative air-bone gap (ABG) at 0.5, 1, 2 KHZ. The ABG was Calculated using AC and BC thresholds on the same audiogram. Post operative hearing gain was then Calculated from the ABG before the operation minus the ABG of the last follow up examination Results: In this study most of the cases were age group 14-30 years (72.7%), female (54.5%). Most common symptoms was progressive hearing loss, tinnitus (77.8%).The average preoperative hearing loss in this study was (AC) was 48.31±7.68. The average post opt. hearing (AC) at follow up was 28.95±10.30 with an average hearing gain of 15.40±8.53 dB which was significant. The average pre-operative ABG was 28.99 dB ± 8.10. The average post opt. ABG was analyzed at 1 follow up showed ABG 13.18±8.09 dB which was found to be significant. Conclusion: Stapedotomy is an effective surgical procedure for the treatment of otosclerosis which leads to improvement in patient’s quality of life. A favorable hearing outcome can be obtained by the combination of experienced hands with minimal surgical trauma and appropriate surgical technique.
