This study was to evaluate the clinical presentation and management of fibroid uterus. Study Design: Retrospective Descriptive study. Setting: Independent University Hospital Faisalabad, which is a Tertiary Care Hospital providing health care facilities to poor socioeconomic group. Period: 1st May 2015 to 30th April 2017. Material & Methods: All patients with fibroid uterus who were admitted in gynae ward and operated. Patients having fibroid uterus with pregnancy and patients on medical management were excluded. Results: 56 patients of various ages included in study. The age distribution of patients was 20-70 years with a mean age of 45 years. Parity of patients range from 0-8, 58% were multiparous and 21% were nulliparous. The most common complaints of patients were menorrhagia 83% with anemia and dysmenorrheal 25%. Regarding management total abdominal hysterectomy was performed in 67% of patients preferably in with multiparity and myomectomy in 32% of total patients. Conclusion: Fibroid uterus is the most common benign tumor of reproductive age influencing fertility outcomes and general health of females. This study reinforces the fact that large number of patients requires surgical management because of its varied clinical presentations and often with failure of medical treatment.

Congenital tuberculosis is an unusual and severe clinical presentation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. It is usually difficult to diagnose and treat. We report a tenweek-old male infant who had presented with fever, difficulty in breathing, abdominal distension, convulsion, low weight gain since one month of his age. The diagnosis was made by demonstration of MTB bacilli in the gastric aspirate of baby and chest radiography. Treatment with the four drug regimen including streptomycin was initiated, but the baby died   on the third day of ATT. This case gives an account of difficulties in diagnosis and therapeutic   management of congenital tuberculosis and alerts for development of protocols that foresee   these difficulties.

Pyomyositis is a subacute, deep suppurative bacterial infection of skeletal muscle not arising from contiguous infection. It is presumably haematogenous in origin, and characterized by muscle pain and swelling. We report on two patients who presented with pyomyositis in a tertiary care hospital in temperate region located in southern Brazil with a clinical presentation, which was initially suggestive of leptospirosis. This report discusses the pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of pyomyositis. Physicians living in non-tropical areas should note that pyomyositis might occur in those areas, and its initial clinical presentation may be similar to leptospirosis

Background: Varicose veins are common vascular disorder. The study was conducted to analyse the clinical presentation, treatment options and complications of varicose veins.Methods: This observational study was conducted in Thanjavur Medical College Hospital. Adults with clinically diagnosed unilateral or bilateral varicose veins of lower limbs were studied in surgical wards between August 2013 to July 2014. The demographic data and presenting symptoms, signs and previous treatment were collected using a structured proforma. Thorough clinical examination, duplex scan and abdominal and pelvic examination were done in all cases to find out the secondary causes. Peripheral vascular system was examined. All the patients were followed regularly for the period of one month to one year after treatment.Results: A total of 60 cases were included. Most participants belonged to 2nd and 3rd decade of life. 55 (91%) participants were male and5 (9%) participants were females. 45 (75%) participants were agriculturists. 10 (17%) participants had bilateral involvement. Most participants 30 (50%) participants had 1 to 5 years duration of disease, most common clinical presentation of the study participants was varicosity with 70.0%, followed by lipodermo sclerosis, leg pain, hyperpigmentation, pruritus as 63.0%, 56.0%, 15% and 11.6% respectively. 17 (28.33%) patients were present with a venous ulcer. 32 (53%) participants were managed surgically, and 28 (47%) participants were managed conservatively. Most participants were treated with multiple ligation 21.8% followed by trendelenburg operation+ stripping18.75%.Conclusions: Regarding the treatment, surgery is the treatment of choice for primary varicose veins and conservative treatment for secondary varicose veins.
