Background: The wide spectrum of bone tumors, their rarity, diverse origin and tendency to produce overlapping anatomic patterns pose a definite diagnostic challenge to the orthopedic surgeons and the pathologists.Objective: The present study was intended to find the pattern of bone tumors and their anatomical locations, and histopathological characteristics in a tertiary care hospital of Dhaka.Methodology: A retrospective review of the histopathological records of patients with established diagnosis of bone tumors at National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), Dhaka, Bangladesh was done from January 2015 to December 2016 for a period of two (02) years. The demographic data such as the age and sex, anatomical location and histopathological findings were studied from the existing records of the patients and their slides were reexamined. Bone lesions of inflammatory origin were excluded from this study leaving the lesions of both neoplastic and tumor-like origin for further study.Result: A total 283 cases of bone lesions were primarily included in the study. Bone lesions of inflammatory origin (n = 65) were excluded from this study leaving 218 lesions of both neoplastic and tumor-like origin for further study. The median age of the patients was 22 (range: 3 – 75) years. In terms of anatomical site of the tumors, over one-third (36.6%) was located in femur 21.1% in tibia, 12.2% in humerus, 6.1% in radius and 5.6% in ulna. In terms of types of bone tumor, 105(48.2%) were benign, 66(30.3%) malignant, 47(21.5%) tumor-like lesions. About 65% of the benign tumors were of Giant cell tumor, 28.5% were osteochondroma, 1% osteoma and 5.7% were of other types. Of the malignant tumors, one-third (33.3%) was of metastatic type, 27.3% Ewing’s sarcoma, 22.7% osteosarcoma, 9.1% chondrosarcoma and 4.6% were of other varieties.Conclusion: Primary bone tumors are mainly benign; however, giant cell and metastatic tumors are the most common benign and malignant bone tumors respectively.Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research 2018;5(1):23-28

Background: Recently, the prevalence of hypothyroidism in the reproductive age group is found up to 4%. In many studies it had been claimed that, thyroid status is directly involved in women reproductive system. Hypothyroidism can be easily detected by assessing serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. The aim of this study was to dig out the prevalence of hypothyroidism in infertile women and to assess their responses in treatment procedures.Methods: This observational study was conducted National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from January 2019 to December 2019 in total 236 women of Endocrinology Department treatment. Patients were followed up for six months even if pregnancy was attained.Results: In total 22% (n=52) patients were hypothyroid. Among them 35 (15%) were subclinical hypothyroid and 17 (7%) were frank hypothyroid. Besides these, 73% (n=172) were euthyroid and the rest 5% (n=12) were hyperthyroid. On the other hand, in analysing the outcome (treatment responses) among the hypothyroid subjects we observed regular menstruation, normal ovulation, clinical pregnancy and chemical pregnancy were achieved by 92.31% (n=48), 88.46% (n=46), 50% (n=26) and 69.23% (n=36) subjects respectively.Conclusions: According to the study, the careful diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism can ensure benefit a lot rather than going for unnecessary hormone assays and costly invasive procedures in for women of infertility.

Objectives: To determine the pattern and frequency of various bone tumors at a tertiary care centre in rural area. Study Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Orthopaedic Peoples University of Medical and Health Sciences (PUMHS), Nawabshah. Period: June to December 2018. Material and Methods:  The 5 years record from July 2015 to June 2018, of all the patients who were admitted and operated for any bone tumor was retrieved. A total of 68 cases were included in the study having complete file record, regardless of their age and sex, the histopathological report of their bone biopsy was mandatory for inclusion in the study. The patients of incomplete file record, without histopathological report and the cases of other bone non-neoplastic conditions were not included in the study. All the collected data was recorded on a proforma, analysed statistically and results were tabulated. Results: In present study 68 cases of bone tumors were evaluated. The patients were aged between 7.5 to 73 years with a mean of 26.4 + 12.7 years. Among these 68 cases 41 (60.3%) were male. The malignant tumors were diagnosed in 25 (36.8%) cases among these 14 (20.6%) cases in male patients and 11 (16.2%) cases in female. The overall benign tumors were observed in 43 (63.2%) cases, and among these 27 (39.7%) cases were male and 16 (23.5%) cases were female. Osteosarcoma was the most common malignant tumor diagnosed in 14/25 (56%) cases followed by chondrosarcoa in 4/25 (16%) cases. In benign tumors the osteochondroma was the commonest tumor detected in 11/43 (25.6%) cases followed by benign giant cell tumor which was diagnosed in 9/43 (21%) cases. Most of the malignant tumors (24%) were diagnosed in 11 - 20 years age group, and most of benign tumors were detected in 21-30 and 31- 40 age groups each comprising of 23.3% cases. Three cases of metastatic tumors were also diagnosed and all were present in older 61 – 70 years age group. Conclusion: The bone tumors are more common in males, occurred predominantly in the second decade of life. osteochondroma and osteosarcoma was the most common benign and malignant bone tumors. Metastatic lesions were observed in older age group.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the number of new cases of Extrapulmonary tuberculosis, by characterizing patients based on anatomical site. METHODS: This is a retrospective, descriptive study of diagnosed patients of EPTB of all age groups and was conducted in the MGM medical college and hospital, Aurangabad, a tertiary care hospital. Data for this study was obtained from JAN 2018 to DEC 2020. RESULTS: This study showed that out of all EPTB cases, the incidence of Lymph node T.B is higher followed by Pleural T.B. The incidence of EPTB is higher in younger population. CONCLUSION: Our study points out the population which is at higher risk of EPTB. Since diagnosing EPTB is difcult as the samples taken from the affected organs are paucibacillary giving rise to higher chance of misdiagnosing such patients. Astrong clinical suspicion plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis and treatment of such patients.

Objective: To describe the demographic and histological features of salivary gland pathologies at tertiary care hospital. Study Design: Retrospective Descriptive. Setting: Shalamar Institute of Health Sciences, Lahore. Period: February 2012 to February 2017. Material & Method: 17548 surgical specimens were received during this period. Among these, 50 cases were diagnosed as salivary gland disorders. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS version 22. Results: 50 cases were diagnosed as salivary gland disorders out of 17548 surgical resections. Salivary gland disorders were divided into non-neoplastic group (n= 15) and neoplastic group (n = 35), which was further divided into: (i) Benign tumors, (n= 26) and (ii) Malignant tumors, (n= 9). Conclusion: Salivary gland disorders are rare diseases to be encountered clinically. Chronic sialadenitis among non-neoplastic disorders, pleomorphic adenoma among benign tumor and mucoepidermoid carcinoma among malignant tumors were the commonest.
