Introduction: The Fallopian tubes are a pair of narrow tubular structures connecting the ovary and the uterus. It is usually the site of fertilization and plays a very important role in the fusion of the sperm and ovary and helps in movement of the fertilized zygote to the uterus. Even though being an organ of very small size the importance of the variety of lesions occurring in the fallopian tubes is often not considered. Biopsies of the fallopian tubes are taken to show the different lesions found in the tubes. Aim: The main aim of the study is to study the spectrum of lesions occurring in the fallopian tubes and correlation of these findings with its clinical parameters. Study Design: This is a retrospective descriptive study Place and Duration of Study: Department of Pathology, Saveetha Medical College, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Thandalam, Chennai between June 2019- December 2019. Methodology: A retrospective study of all the fallopian tube specimens sent for routine histopathological analysis over a period of 6 months was carried out. The different pathological lesions were observed from the relevant clinical data and the correlation with its clinical parameters was done. Results: A sample size of 77 specimens was collected among which the commonest age group which was found to have the highest number of lesions was between 26-30 years. This was found to be in correlation to the reproductive age group of women. The most common form of pathological lesion observed was ectopic pregnancy (about 46% of total pathological lesions), followed by Paratubal cysts (23%), Hydrosalpinx (15%) and Hematosalpinx (8%). Cystadenoma was the only benign tumor observed in this study and constituted 8% of the total pathological lesions. Conclusion: This study shows the importance of histopathological examination of all fallopian tube specimens with or without abnormal findings.

Background: Leiomyomas are benign tumors of smooth muscle cells commonly encountered in women of reproductive age group. Aim of this study was to conduct a histopathological study of leiomyomas in hysterectomy specimens and to correlate them with clinical findings.Methods: A prospective study was done on 130 hysterectomy specimens clinically diagnosed as leiomyoma. The specimens were subjected to histopathological examination.Results: In this study, the most common age group was 31-50 years (87.69%). Most common complaint was menorrhagia (51.54%). In endometrium, the most common histopathological diagnosis was proliferative phase (46.15%) followed by endometrial hyperplasia (19.23%). The most common secondary change was hyalinization and the most common site was intramural (62.9%).Conclusions: Hysterectomy is a commonly performed procedure in the management of uterine leiomyomas. The ultimate diagnosis and prognosis depends on the histopathological examination; therefore, every operated specimen must be subjected to histopathology.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an ecological imbalance of the vaginal microbiota affecting mostly women of reproductive age group. This study was carried out among 160 nonpregnant women registered at the Outpatient Department of Gynaecology/Obstetrics of KIST Medical College Teaching Hospital, Imadol, Lalitpur, Nepal, from November 2014 to May 2015. The aim of the study was to assess the association of the risk factors with BV and analyze the type of bacteria associated with BV. Nugent’s scoring method was used for diagnosis of BV in this study. The overall prevalence of BV was 24.4% among symptomatic patients. Douching was statistically related to BV(P=0.015). Also, BV was significantly associated with consistency(P=0.0001), odor(P=0.02), and amount of abnormal vaginal discharge(P=0.09). Contraceptives users on anatomical sites were found more prone to BV than those who did not use contraceptives on anatomical sites.Pseudomonasspp.,Escherichia coli, Acinetobacterspp., Proteusspp., Klebsiellaspp., Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Enterobacterspp., Citrobacterspp., Staphylococcus aureus,Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (CoNS),andStreptococcus agalactiaewere associated with BV and out of thoseLactobacillusspp. was the predominant organism. The higher prevalence of BV among symptomatic patients indicates interventions should be applied to reduce the incidence of stillbirth, abortion, and sterility.

The study was performed at the Department of Pharmacology in collaboration with Department of Psychiatry, NSCB Medical College, Jabalpur. The maximum numbers of patients in were in reproductive age group that is in between 20 to 49 years. The mean age in Amisulpride group was 33.26(±10.23) years while in Olanzapine group it was 31.25 (±12.22) years. Schizophrenia was more common (80%) in younger (20-49years) age group. In our study the male /female ratio was 1.7. Our study supports the notion that Schizophrenia is more common in Married and Urban population. Only one patient from Olanzapine  Group suffered  Extrapyramidal  symptoms of  moderate severity requiring  withdrawal from study.2  patients  from Olanzapine group and 1 patient from Amisulpride group  had Tremors and Akathesia  of mild severity. There was no emergence of Extrapyramidal symptoms in rest of the patients (p>.05) Keywords: Efficacy, Amisulpride, Olanzapine & Schizophrenia.

Background: In Bangladesh the neonatal mortality rate is unacceptably high, at 48.4 per 1,000 live births and it is higher in rural areas while the neonatal mortality rate in Asia is 41 per 1,000 live-births, compared to 7 per 1,000 live-births in developed countries.Materials & Methods: This descriptive type of cross sectional study was carried out among 180 rural mothers of reproductive age in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh from October 2013 to January 2014. Data were collected on a pretested questionnaire by face to face interview.Results: The study revealed that 50.6% of the respondents were housewife & education wise 42.2% had primary education with mean age 26.28±5.50 years. 61% respondents knew that cord should be cut by sterile blade and 65% respondents mentioned that cord should be cut immediate after delivery. Among them 44.4% knew about initiation of breast feeding within 1st hour of delivery, 71.1% believed the importance of colostrums feeding. Only 30% of the respondents knew about frequency of breast feeding to the baby should be 8-10 times in a day and 58% had knowledge on exclusive breast feeding. Of the respondents 52.2% went for exclusive breast feeding but others did not. 67% respondents immunized their baby whereas 33% did not. More than half of the respondents (59%) cleaned their breast before feeding and 80.6% respondents washed their hands before handling their newborn. A significant association was found between education and knowledge on immunization of newborn (P=0.000), education and exclusive breast feeding (P=0.003).Conclusion: The current study may boost up the awareness among rural mothers of reproductive age group on neonatal care which will further encourage them to be educated and thus neonatal morbidity & mortality may decline in some extent.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 9, No. 1: Jan 2018, P 50-56

Worldwide 20-30% of labour cases are induced. We conducted an analysis to evaluate the success of labour induction for indicated preterm birth A prospective observational study was conducted among 50 patients admitted in the Department of OBGY, MGM Medical College and Hospital, Aurangabad from 1st March 2019 to 31st March 2020. There was a total of 50 deliveries during this period. The preterm induction majorly includes 20-34 years as this is the commonest reproductive age group seen in our hospital. More number of Hindus underwent induction. Multigravida requires induction more as compared to primigravida. More number of patients were induced between 32-36 weeks, reason being PPROM, severe preeclampsia, IUD and severe FGR. Vaginal delivery is more likely irrespective of bishop score. Induction of labour remains relevant obstetrics procedure and its outcome will depend on proper choice of patients and close intrapartum monitoring
