The study was conducted on 164 patients who underwent LIFTin the Fourth unit of Department of General Surgery, Chengalpattu Medical College Hospital from Jan 2019 to Dec 2019. The aim of the study was to evaluate effectiveness of ligation of intersphincteric stula tract (lift) in anal stulas”. The study was conducted by performing LIFTamong 164 patients after satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this study, Fistula in ano was more common among the male population with mean age group being the third and the fourth decade. Postoperatively, there was minimal signicant development in wound infection. As a consequence, the stay in the hospital was reduced and so the overall expenditure for patients is decreased. To summarize, the ligation of the intersphincteric stula tract technique for stula in ano appears to be effective, safe and easy to perform with encouraging early outcomes.

Ear foreign body is a common ENT emergency and a challenge also to otolaryngologist worldwide. Prompt and appropriate management of it can reduce the morbidity. An observational retrospective study of 148 cases of foreign body in the ear done in Comilla Medical College Hospital and two upazilla health complexes (Nangalkot and Chowddagram) of Bangladesh within the period of January 2014 to December 2014 to evaluate the nature, mode of presentation, technique of removal and outcome of it. Data were collected from hospital records including age, sex of patient and mode and time of presentation, nature of foreign body, management outcome and complication, and the result showed that children o funder 15 year age group were mostly affected (60%), among them highest incidence were in 5-10 year age group (25%) with male to female ratio 1:1.28. The most common foreign body was the seeds of various vegetables (25.67%) followed by plastic beads (18.24%) and cotton bud (15.54%), the right ear affected more (54%). Almost half of them (47.97%) presented with history of insertion of a foreign body and most of them (91.98%) were removed in OPD or emergency department under direct vision and remaining required general anesthesia. Despite a high proportion of cases managed in the office setting, complication rates were within acceptable level. It is inversely proportional to the skill of the personnel, number of attempts &availability of equipment. Key to successful outcome are prompt help by well-trained doctor and otolaryngological equipment set up.Medicine Today 2017 Vol.29(2): 5-8

A prospective study had been carried out between July 2003 and June 2010 in Radiotherapy Department of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital on the patients diagnosed as Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor (GIST). A total of 32 patients were enrolled. Males 24(75%) Predominated over the females 8(25%) with male female ratio 3:1. The patients were between 25 and 65 years with the mean age 45 years and majority (75%) belonged to age above 40 years. Common sites of involvement were ileum 14 (40.5%), Stomach 12 (32.5%) followed by duodenum 4 (15.25%) and jejunum 2(11.75%) in descending order. All patients attended after surgery except two who was inoperable. Patients with gross residual disease were planned for oral Imatinib mesylate (400-600mg / day) as adjuvant therapy. The two inoperable cases and those with gross residual disease at primary or metastatic site were planned for palliative treatment. Imatinib mesylate 400mg/day was planned for few cases. 3 cases with gross post operative residue were treated by 50Gys radiotherapy by conventional fractions from cobalt machine. Among 20 cases who were planned for adjuvant therapy 4 completed their course of targeted therapy after four years and are on 2-3 monthly follow up are in disease free state – clinically and by investigation . Among the remaining-16 cases, two patients faced progression of the disease and died and two patients presented with liver metastasis and rest are on oral Imatinib therapy in escalating dose, now gradually improving. Among the 12 cases, who were planned for palliative therapy, 4 post operative cases with gross residual mass, died due to disease progression. 2 post operative cases with gross residual disease, who received radiotherapy, did not come for subsequent follow up. Other 6 cases are yet on Imatinib and the tumor masses are regressing gradually. TAJ 2010; 23(1): 1-5

Background and setting Recent reports have indicated the increasing incidence of lung cancer in women and younger age groups. A cross- sectional, retrospective study was undertaken to study the age and sex distribution and histological patterns of lung cancer in the patient population presenting to St.John's Medical college Hospital, Bangalore. Methods The age, sex and the clinical features of patients and gross findings of the specimens were retrieved from the archives of the department.Hematoxylin and Eosin stained paraffin sections were used for assessment of histological patterns. Results and Conclusions 80 patients(13.5%) were histologically diagnosed as having lung cancer in the study done over a period of 6 years(1995-2000).Peak incidence was seen in 5th and 6th decade. 15 patients were <40 years of age with a male-female ratio 1.5:1 while the trend changed to 4.9:1 in >40 years age group. among the classifiable patterns, the common years age group. Among the classifiable patterns, the common histological pattern was squamous cell carcinoma, while 26.5% of lung cancer cases were poorly differentiated and could not be further categorized indicating the need for advanced techniques. In 18.5% of patients who were less than 40 years of age with lack of male preponderance, the genesis was probably multifactorial. Market integration Correlation is a measure of market integration. Correlation Coefficients of Prices, which include trend, seasonal and cylindrical effects are not adequate to precisely measure the degree of market integration. Integration of "pure errors" (pure errors means error series free from autocorrelation effects) of several time series enables us to determine the significance or otherwise integration of markets.

Epidemiological Characteristics

Encephalitis is a relatively common clinical diagnosis of admitted patients in Faridpur Medical College Hospital. This is significant because there was an outbreak of Nipah Virus (Ni-V) encephalitis in Faridpur district in 2004 with 34 cases including 26 deaths. Recent death of an intern doctor of FMCH from Ni-V encephalitis further emphasizes the gravity of situation. In this study a total number of 100 cases of clinically suspected encephalitis patients were studied for different clinical parameters. This is a retrospective study using data from hospital records. Majority of patients presented with neurological features (85%), 6% with pulmonary, 7% with combined neurological and pulmonary, and 2% with other features. 5-18 years age group comprises the highest number 44%, followed by >18 years age group 34%. Male-female ratio was 33:17. July to November was the period of maximum number of admission, the highest being in August. Patient from all upazillas of Faridpur were admitted, the highest being from Sadar Upazilla. 48% of the patients recovered, 19% expired and 7% were referred. In this context, further prospective study is urgently required to find out the epidemiological characteristics of Nipah virus encephalitis in Faridpur region.
