A Prospective Study

INTRODUCTION:Carcinoma of the penis is a malignancy with a wide range of clinical and pathological presentations. It constitutes a major substantial health concern in many developing countries including India. Proper evaluation of both the primary lesion and lymph nodes is critical because nodal involvement is the most important factor for survival. This study was undertaken to [1,2,3] determine incidence with age, religion, and socioeconomic status and to study risk factors and its management . METHODS:A descriptive study was conducted among 30 patients with proven carcinoma penis for a period of 2 years. RESULTS: In my study the maximum incidence was found to be in the age group of 50 to 70. All cases were Hindus and Muslims were free of disease may be due to early circumcision. In my study 86.6% of the patients associated with carcinoma penis were smokers. The commonest symptom at presentation was proliferative growth (76%). The most common site of origin was the Glans penis. The average time interval between onset of symptoms and seeking medical advice is 7 Months. The most common surgery performed was partial penectomy (73.3%) and a majority of the biopsy report showed SCC. Moderately and poorly differentiated tumors had a very strong association with nodal involvement. CONCLUSION: Carcinoma penis can be avoided by better penile hygiene and circumcision. It is a curable disease, if detected early and treated properly. The surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Creating awareness in public is the only way to reduce mortality and morbidity due to the carcinoma of the penis.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Tumors of the neck are interesting to surgeons especially because of the complex neck anatomy and difficult differential diagnosis. The aim is to study different types of neck swellings i.e. thyroid swelling, salivary gland swelling, other neck swellings such as thyroglossal cyst, branchial cyst, lymphangioma and also the miscellaneous and rare lumps in the neck. The study also discusses their age and sex-wise distribution, clinical features, presentation, diagnostic modalities and treatment.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This is a prospective study, conducted at our institute Government Medical College, Latur from June 2017 to May 2018 for a duration of one year.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> A total of 57 patients were studied during this period. Out of the 57 patients, 47 of them were midline swellings (82.45%) and 10 among them were lateral neck swellings (17.55%). People over a wide range of age group between 5-60 years were affected. Midline neck swelling were more common than lateral neck swellings.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Among the midline benign neck swellings, thyroid swelling was found to be the commonest followed by thyroglossal cyst. Thyroid swellings occur more commonly in the females than males. Ultrasound guided FNAC is the most common, effective and safe investigation that aids in the diagnosis. Treatment of choice for benign, non-inflammatory and non-malignant neck swelling is mostly surgical excision rather than medical management.</p>

Introduction: Ear diseases are common in children mainly due to altered anatomy of Eustachian tube which is straighter in children as compared to that in adults. However, the cause of hearing loss in children is more varied, including the etiologies. This study was done to find out the pattern of ear diseases in paediatric age group attending ear, nose and throat OPD in a tertiary care centre in Pokhara, Nepal. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study done in paediatric patients attending ENT OPD over a period of one year from January 2010 to January 2011. The diagnoses were made on the basis of history and clinical examination. Results were expressed in numbers and percentages. Results: Out of 1632 Pediatric ENT patients, 944 had ear diseases, 59.2% were males and 40.8% females. Wax (33.4%) was the commonest diagnosis followed by Chronic suppurative otitis media (24.3%) and Acute ottitis media (13%). Conclusion: Ear diseases are most common condition in ENT OPD among paediatric age group. Wax, CSOM and ASOM were the three most common ear diseases. J. Nepal Paediatr.

INTRODUCTION: Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) consists of a wide range of conjunctival and corneal lesions ranging from dysplastic lesions to invasive squamous cell carcinoma. In recent times, the incidence of OSSN seems to be on the rise, especially in developing countries. The present study was aimed to analyse demographic pattern, clinical characteristics, and histopathology findings of OSSN in a tertiary care centre of western region of Nepal.  MATERIAL AND METHODS: It was a retrospective study. We analyzed 94 cases of OSSN who presented to cornea department of Lumbini Eye Institute, Bhairahawa, Nepal over a period 1.5 years from 1st July 2017 to 31st December 2018. All the patients with OSSN, detailed clinical history and examination were recorded. Lesions were excised with a 3 mm margin clearance and sent for histopathological examination.  RESULTS: Mean age of our patients with OSSN was 48.89±17.955 years ranging from 17 to 85 years. There were 52 (55.32%) male and 42 (44.68%) female. Mean duration of presentation was 6.34±6.17 months. A solitary nodule at the limbus was the commonest presentation. Right eyes were involved more than left eyes. Lesions were found most commonly on temporal site 52 (55.32%) followed by nasal 36 (38.30%). On histopathological examination benign lesions were found in 31 (32.98%) eyes, preinvasive lesion in 50 (53.19%) eyes and invasive lesions in 13 (13.83%) eyes.  CONCLUSION: OSSN were seen more commonly in young adults with male predominance. Benign and pre invasive lesions are found more commonly than invasive lesions.

A Prospective Study

Background: Cholelithiasis is a common pathology of the gall bladder affecting about 10 to 15% of the adults in western countries and 2 to 29% in India. More than 80% of the patients with cholelithiasis are asymptomatic. Hypothyroidism may cause gall stone formation due to the hyperlipidemia, motility disorders affecting the bile duct and sphincter of Oddi.Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at Department of Surgery, Bankura Sammilani Medical College and Hospital, Bankura from March 2019 to February 2020 for duration of one and half year. The sample size was 54 and consecutive non-probability sampling technique was used for the sampling. All the collected data were recorded in a pre-designed proforma and analyzed in MS excel.Results: Out of 54-patients with cholelithiasis, 28% patients were from the age group 45-54 years.40% patients were hypothyroid pre-dominantly females. Among 30-female patients 11 (26.82%) were hypothyroid and among 11-male patients 2 (15.38%) were hypothyroid. Hypothyroidism in male and female was statistically significant.Conclusions: This study was introduced to determine the relationship between hypothyroidism and cholelithiasis. It was concluded that hypothyroidism was more common in female, obese and elder patients. The gender distribution of the hypothyroidism in patients with cholelithiasis was statistically significant while all other variables were statistically not significant.

Hollow Viscus Perforation

Background: High mortality and morbidity is associated with peritonitis secondary to hollow viscus perforation, proving it a most common life threatening condition which needs emergency surgical care. Hence a proper evaluation was needed regarding appropriate management to have a better outcome, which was a challenge to operating surgeon.Methods: A serial study of 96 cases of peritonitis secondary to hollow viscus perforation was conducted at tertiary care centre, department of general surgery, Mysore medical college and research institute, Mysore, Karnataka from the period of August 2020 to July 2021. Data related to aetiology, surgical intervention and its peri-operative complications were noted. Appropriate statistical analyses were done to draw the inference.Results: Out of 96 cases studied, 74 were male, 22 were female with mean age of 45.53 years. Most common cause of peritonitis was GU perforation, followed by idiopathic, infective, malignancy, appendicular perforation and Trauma.Conclusions: Hollow viscus perforation being most common surgical emergencies, surgical outcomes and its related complications depends on age, general condition, site, co-morbidities and aetiologies.
