Background: Eyelid lesions are commonly encountered in histopathology practice and encompass a wide variety of non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions. Here we report the histopathological features of eyelid lesions in patients presenting to a tertiary care center in Kerala, South India.Methods: In this retrospective study, a total of 414 eyelid lesions were identified over a period of 10 years (January 2006 - December 2015). In each case, details including age, gender and final histopathological diagnosis were recorded from histopathology registers.Results: Non-neoplastic lesions (52.4%) were more common than neoplastic lesions (47.6%). In the neoplastic lesions, benign tumors outnumbered (37.7%) malignant tumors (9.9%). Age of patients ranged from 1 to 90 years with a mean age of 43.4 years. M: F ratio was 1:1.3. The most common non-neoplastic lesion was epidermal cyst (14.3%) followed by parasitic granuloma (9.2%), chalazion and dermoid cyst (5.6% each). Nevus was the commonest benign eyelid tumor (13.7%) followed by squamous papilloma (9.2%), seborrhoeic keratosis and capillary hemangioma (3.9% each). Sebaceous carcinoma was the most frequent malignant tumor (2.4%) followed by squamous cell carcinoma (2.2%) and basal cell carcinoma (1.5%). Uncommon lesions encountered were actinomycosis, tuberculous granuloma, amyloid deposit, calcinosis cutis, molluscum, angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia, xanthelasma, granular cell tumor, benign fibrous histiocytoma, mucinous eccrine adenocarcinoma etc.Conclusions: Eyelid lesions were commoner in females and in 5th and 6th decades. Epidermal cyst and nevus were the commonest benign lesions and sebaceous carcinoma was the most common malignant tumor. The results are comparable with available data from South India.

Abstract Objective Nursing profession is subject to occupational stress, which can be a trigger for headaches. Our study aimed to study the prevalence of migraine, its characteristics, triggers, and relieving factors among nursing students in a tertiary care center. Materials and Methods This study was performed in a super-specialty hospital in South India. A structured questionnaire captured data on the occurrence of headache, demographics, aura, triggering factors, relieving factors, and lifestyle habits. Results are presented in numbers and percentage. Results A total of 20% of nursing students in the study had headache of which 85% had migraine. Weekly and daily attacks were reported in 12 and 4% students, respectively. Twenty-two percent had headache severity of more than 5 visual analogue scale. Most common accompanying symptoms were photophobia (80%), phonophobia (70%), nausea (75%), vomiting (71%), neck pain (25%), and vertigo (20%). Thirty-nine percent had auras. Ninety-five percent reported triggers with 70% students having more than one trigger. Sleep was the relieving factor in 69%, head massage in 50%, and relaxing from work in 48%. Conclusion The most common type of primary headache in nurses in our study was migraine. More than three-fourths nurses reported triggers and relieving factors. Addressing these factors could help in managing migraines and help in improving the quality of life and increased work productivity of nurses.

Stool Samples

The aim of this study was to identify common stool parasites in patients attending a tertiary care centre in South India. We evaluated 2355 stool samples and parasites were detected in 7.9% of samples. 41.1% of our patients were in the 45–58-year age group. Protozoal infections were the commonest seen in 7.8% of samples. Entamoeba histolytica was the commonest protozoa (4.6%) followed by Entamoeba coli (1.2%) and Giardia (0.8%). Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba coli were together seen in 0.63%, and they were the commonest organisms seen in samples with multiple-organism infection. Both were equally detected in diarrheal samples.

Context: Gastric cancer(GC) is fth most common cancer worldwide. Mostly presents with advanced stage and poor overall survival. Methods: Retrospective study on clinical, pathological, pattern of distant metastasis(DM) , treatment aspect of GC treated between January 2014 to December 2018 in a tertiary care center in south India. Statistical analysis : Chi square test and multivariate analysis (MVA) were used for analysis. P <0.05 was considered signicant. Results: Median age at diagnosis is 57 years. Higher male : female ratio. Most common presentation was abdominal pain followed vomiting. Malignant Gastric outlet obstruction(MGOO) was present in 22.7%. Histologically , all patients had adenocarcinoma with predominantly moderate differentiation (51.1%). Liver (19.1%)was most common site of metastasis . Curative surgery was done in 35.5% of patients. D2 lymph node dissection was performed in 12.4% of patient. Patients were given perioperative /preoperative/ adjuvant / palliative chemotherapy. MVA revealed history of tobacco use, body of stomach tumor location, nodal disease were risk factors for DM. Conclusion : The present analysis revealed use of tobacco, alcohol intake were main risk factors for GC. Most of the patients present in advanced stage , so prevention by avoiding risk factors and early detection by signs , symptoms and endoscopy are necessary. Use of tobacco,site of tumor location, nodal disease were factors associated with DM. Aggressive management with both surgery and chemotherapy is warranted for locally advanced disease.
