Background: The use of laparoscopic surgery in modern gynecology has led to faster recovery, lesser hospital stay, and fewer complications. In this study, we aim to analyze the current trends in laparoscopic surgery, its indications, type of procedure and associated complications. Method: This is a retrospective study done in Grande International Hospital. All patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery over a duration of 5 years from July 2013 to June 2018 were analyzed. Result: There were a total of 419 laparoscopic surgeries (74 diagnostic, 345 therapeutic) performed. The most common age group of patients for diagnostic laparoscopy was 25-34 years and for therapeutic was 45-54 years. Therapeutic surgery was mostly performed for ovarian cyst (144, 41.74%). There were a total of 152 (44.06%) laparoscopic hysterectomies performed. Complications which occurred during the surgery were insignificant (p<0.01). Conclusion: Laparoscopic surgery has become the most common procedure for gynecological procedures over the years.

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.

OBJECTIVE: To study the various spirometry ndings and look for its association with smoking history and use of biomass fuels. METHODS: Spirometry ndings of 375 patients who attend Respiratory medicine OPD from year 2017- 2019 were studied. RESULTS: Out of 375 patients, 95 patients were diagnosed as COPD, 62 as bronchial asthma, 149 had normal spirometry and 69 had restriction. CONCLUSION: In this study we concluded that spirometry plays an intergral role in the diagnosis of bronchial asthma, COPD and restrictive lung diseases. It gives an overview of the decline of lung function with increasing age, smokers, occupational lung exposures, family history of bronchial asthma. Restrictive patterns were most commonly seen in patients who came for pre operative evaluation.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Hip fractures are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly population posing significant burden on health care resources. The purpose of this study is to determine the epidemiological analysis of hip fractures at a tertiary care center.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This was a retrospective study done on patients with hip fractures admitted during the period 2015-2017 in Moradabad district of Uttar Pradesh. Case files and radiographs of patients were reviewed for age, gender, nature of trauma, associated comorbidities, type of fracture and presence of osteoporosis.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> During the 2015-2017 period, 2214 patients with hip fractures were admitted, out of which 1180 were males and rest females. The mean age of patients was 56.8 years with 41.6% belonging to age group 60-75 years. In elderly patients, a low energy simple fall accounted for &gt;85% of fractures with presence of significant osteoporosis (Singh’s index grade 3). The in hospital mortality was 2.1%. Hip fracture characteristics included intertrochanteric 57.81%, femoral neck 30.26% and sub trochanteric 11.93%. Smoking and medical comorbidities were present in a significant number of patients.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> With increased longevity, hip fractures are an increasing health care problem. Various preventive measures for osteoporosis and falls will decline the prevalence of these fractures.</p>
