Due to limited clinical data in paediatric Ewing’s sarcoma, the aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic characteristics and identifying prognostic factors for survival. We retrospectively reviewed 66 patients with paediatric Ewing’s sarcoma. Median age of presentation was 10 years. Male: Female ratio was 1:1.Femur was the most common site of involvement 13.6% (9/66). The median survival in this study was 52 months. Three and five year survival rate of these patients was 52% and 45% respectively. One out of the 7 patients (14.2%) who did not initiate treatment was alive at the time of analysis whereas 4 out of 8 (50%) patients were alive with incomplete treatment and 35 out of 51 patients (68.6%) were alive who completed treatment and this difference was statistically significant (p<.001).Those patients who completed the treatment protocol had a better survival as compared to those who defaulted or refused treatment.

BackgroundIt has been suggested recently that the prevalence of autistic disorder may be rising. No prevalence study specifically among learning disabled children exists and so this study was prompted.Method. 767 children with a learning disability who attended 16 different special schools in the Grampian region of north-east Scotland were studied for a diagnosis of autistic disorder according to the DSM–III–R criteria. The study was conducted in three stages. In the first screening stage, a questionnaire was completed for each child by their teachers. In the second stage, teachers completed another questionnaire based on DSM–III–R criteria for autistic disorder. A final diagnosis was made on the basis of examination and information gathered from the questionnaires.ResultsQuestionnaires were completed for 634 (82.7%) children. 14.3% of children with a learning disability fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for autistic disorder. There was a male: female ratio of 3:1. This gave a 9 per 10 000 minimum prevalence of autistic disorder among all school-age children in the Grampian region. There was a higher prevalence of autistic disorder in the cities compared with rural areas. The prevalence did not change with age but increased with decreasing IQ.

Background: Gastrointestinal malignancy constitutes a significant cancer burden in terms of mortality. They are most often detected late due to hidden location and lack of symptoms. This study was undertaken with an aim to see age and site distribution, histopathological spectrum, histologic grade and pathologic stage at presentation and to find correlation between histologic grade and pathologic stage at presentation. Methods: This retrospective chart review was carried on 161 cases of GI malignancies received in Department of Pathology of College of Medical Sciences and Teaching Hospital during a time period of 8 years from January 2012 to December 2019. Results: Age of the patients ranged from 16 to 93 years with a mean±SD of 57.3±16.3 years with maximum 36 (22.4%) cases in 51-60 years age group and a male female ratio of 1.4:1. 29 (18.0%) cases were seen at or below 40 years of age. Stomach was the most common site involved in 69 (42.9%) cases. Majority, 136 (84.5%) cases were adenocarcinoma. Majority, 48 (35.3%) cases of adenocarcinoma were Grade 2. Most 31 (45.0%) cases were Stage III at presentation. There was no statistical significant association between histologic grade and pathologic stage (p = 0.073). Conclusion: GI malignancy constitutes a significant cancer burden. Younger individuals are also considerably affected denoting a need of high degree of suspicion. Stomach was the most common site involved. Adenocarcinoma was the most common histological type. There was no association between histologic grade and pathologic stage at presentation (p > 0.05).

Background: The chronic complications of diabetes are broadly divided into microvascular and macrovascular, with the former having much higher prevalence than latter. Microvascular complications include neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy. Objectives of the study was to assess the clinical and biochemical profile of renal involvement in diabetic patient and complications due to diabetes mellites.Methods: This was a hospital based prospective study done in which total of 250 cases attended and admitted at general medicine department, Government Medical College, Sir. T. Hospital, Bhavnagar. Study included Diabetic patient having age - >12 years, Both Gender and Patient who gives consent for study.Results: Almost 54.8% having age between 41-60 years, Male: female ratio 0.87:1 and 44.0% were to ‘obese 2’ Body mass index (BMI) category. Around 22.4% participants have retinopathy, 30.0% have anemia, 62.4% have HTN and 26.8% have Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD). Almost 59.6% participants have S. creatinine level was 1.3 to 4 mg/dL and 43.6% have stage 5 of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).Conclusions: Incidence of DM Nephropathy increase with age. With increasing numbers of years of diagnosed DM, the chances of DM Nephropathy are increased and as the duration of DM as well as duration of uncontrolled glycemia increases GFR decreases and DM Nephropathy progresses. HbA1c is a useful marker to account for the glycemic control over the past months, and hence the better indicator to the development as well as progression of DM Nephropathy.

Low Prevalence

Background: Earlier, the studies had an increased prevalence of previously diagnosed hypothyroidism in gallstone patient and recent studies also demonstrated low bile flow in hypothyroid subjects or the sphincter of oddi expresses thyroid hormone receptors and thyroxin has a direct prorelaxing effect on the sphincter. Iceberg of hypothyroidism was present in cholelithiasis patients. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of previously undiagnosed hypothyroidism in cholelithiasis patients.Methods: A prospective study was conducted in the 500 consecutive patients with cholelithiasis between 1st October 2014 and 31st March 2016 to find relation between gallstone and hypothyroidism. Patients already diagnosed as hypothyroidism were excluded. In each patients, detailed history and clinical examination was done and sent for ultrasound of neck for goitre detection and laboratory Thyroid hormone assay (S-FT3, S-FT4 and S-TSH).Results: A total of 2.2%, 5.0% and 6.6% (total 13.8%, 69 of 500) of the cholelithiasis patients were diagnosed to have clinical, subclinical and borderline subclinical hypothyroidism. In women older than 50 year, the prevalence of clinical and subclinical plus borderline-hypothyroidism was 6.8% and 25.6% (11.7%±13.9%) and clinical plus subclinical plus borderline-subclinical hypothyroidism was 32.4% in cholelithiasis patients.Conclusions: Although a low prevalence of hypothyroidism was found in this study, but it is evident that subclinical and borderline subclinical hypothyroidism were significantly more common, compared with the clinical hypothyroidism and with increasing age there was increase in its prevalence, so we recommend that S-TSH level should be measured for every patient with cholelithiasis older than 50 years.
