Objective: To assess General Surgery trainee’s knowledge about safe use of energy devices in two tertiary hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Background: Electro surgery is the use of high-frequency electrical energy to achieve cutting, and coagulation. This method has become ubiquitous worldwide for the purpose of achieving rapid hemostasis and rapid dissection of tissues Methods:   Participants completed a 35-item multiple choice question examination, testing critical knowledge of ES. The examination was developed according to the objectives and blueprints of SAGES’ Fundamental Use of Surgical Energy curriculum. Sections of the examination included: principles of ES, ES-related adverse events, monopolar and bipolar devices, and pediatric considerations and interference with implantable devices.’’ Scores were compared between juniors and seniors participants. Results: A total of 51 general surgical trainees from two academic hospitals completed the assessment. 15.69% of the participants correctly answered 30 questions out of 35 questions, 39.22% of the participants responded correctly to 20 questions out of 35 answers, and 45.09 who responded correctly to less than 20 questions. It was found that 52.2% of the individuals with a low level of understanding were junior residents as opposed to 87.5% of the participants with the highest level of understanding were senior residents with a significant P-value of 0.04. Conclusions: majority of general surgery residents enrolled in the Saudi Arabian board of surgery lack adequate knowledge about the safe and efficient use of surgical energy devices. The level of understanding is lower among the junior residents than seniors.

ABSTRACT Objective: Analyze the nursing diagnoses of NANDA-I Taxonomy in hospitalized adults and elderlies in preoperative of general surgery and proctology. Method: cross-sectional study, exploratory, quantitative approach, developed in the general surgery ward, between March and August, 2017. Inferential statistical analysis performed using Chi-square and Fisher test, considering p-value <0.05 and 95% confidence interval. Results: Of 51 participants, 32 (62.7%) were adults and 19 (37.3%) elderlies. In adults prevailed anxiety (81.3%), fear (50%), risk for infection (43.8%), and risk for delayed surgical recovery (37.5%). In elderlies, anxiety (68.4%), risk for infection (63.2%), impaired comfort (57.9), and risk for delayed surgical recovery (52.6%) prevailed. Anxiety was significant in adults (p=0.028); impaired dentition (p=0.001), and impaired comfort (p = 0.008) in elderlies. Conclusion: specificities of pre-surgical care rarely identified were evidenced, especially related to risk for infection and risk for delayed surgical recovery.

Aim: To determine the efficacy of single dose ondansetron in preventing PONV in patients. Methodology: In this cross sectional study 49 patients were given Ondansetron.  Every patient was evaluated for PONV at 1, 2, 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours post operatively. This study was conducted at General surgery operation theatres and surgical wards I, II, III and Department of Anesthesia and SICU Peoples University of Medical & Health Sciences for women Nawabshah, District Shaheed Benazirabad, Sindh. Results: A sample of 49 patients with age between 20-60 years (mean age 43.72±5.67 years), 35% male and 65% female was included in this study. In this study ondansetron was given (N=49) 4 mg I/V before induction. Regarding complications there was not significant (p ≤0.05) POVN was observed. Conclusion: Our study results showed in patients who received ondansetron regarding frequency of post operative complications (PONV) showed insignificant results as no p-value is found to be ≤0.05.It was concluded that a single dose of ondansetron is very effective in preventing PONV in general surgery patients.

Background: The visual evoked potentials (VEP) is a valuable tool to document occult lesions of the central visual channels especially within the optic nerve. Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to observe the findings of first few cases of VEP done in the neurophysiology department of the National Institute of Neurosciences (NINS), Dhaka, Bangladesh. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Neurophysiology at the National Institute of Neurosciences and Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from September 2017 to March 2020. All patients referred to the Neurophysiology Department of NINS for VEP were included. Pattern reversal VEPs were done using standard protocol set by International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN). Results: The mean age of the study population was 30.70 (±12.11) years (6-68 years) with 31 (46.3%) male and 36 (53.7%) female patients. The mean duration of illness was 8.71 (±1.78) months (3 days- 120 months). Most common presenting symptom was blurring of vision (37.3%) and dimness of vision (32.8%). Patterned VEP revealed mixed type (both demyelinating and axonal) of abnormality in most cases [29(43.35)]. The most common clinical diagnosis was multiple sclerosis (29.85%) and optic neuropathy (26.87%). In the clinically suspected cases of multiple sclerosis, optic neuropathy and optic neuritis most of the cases of VEP were abnormal and the p value is 0.04 in optic neuropathy and optic neuritis. Conclusion: The commonest presentation of the patients in this series were blurring of vision and dimness of vision. The most common clinical diagnosis for which VEP was asked for, was optic neuritis and multiple sclerosis. Most abnormalities were of mixed pattern (demyelinating and axonal).

Breast cancer is one of the most common illness that killed woman. One of the therapy to cure breast cancer is chemotherapy. Chemotherapy has side effect either physical and psychology, that caused people who’s in chemo therapy, prone to stress. Stress effected by many factors, such as characteristic and chopping strategy that patient has been using. The aim of this research is to get a perspective about the relation of characteristic and chopping strategy with breast cancer patient stress, whose in chemo therapy. This research using cross sectional study and taking sample by using accidental sampling method. The data analyzed by using bavariat and multivariat with variable result shows that breast cancer patient stress who has chemo therapy realted to age characteristic (p value = 0.00) the time since they diagnosed with cancer (pvalue = 0.03), how long they have chemo therapy (pvalue = 0.00) and chopping strategyby looking social support (pvalue = 0.00) looking for spiritual (pvalue = 0.00) with dominan variable which related to stress is chopping strategy to looking spiritual support (coeffecients B = -1.139).   Key words : Breast cancer, chemotherapy, stress

Background: The most common benign pathological lesion in women of reproductive age is uterine leiomyoma. Gestational trophoblastic disease includes tumors and tumor like lesions originating from trophoblastic tissue. The aim of this study was to find the spectrum of molar pregnancy and uterine pathologies focusing on gestational trophoblastic disease as no study has been done in the past few years. Methods: Endometrial and uterine specimens of patients (n=436) between the ages of 15-65 years were collected from a private hospital in Karachi from December 2018 to December 2019. This cross-sectional study was carried out by pathological diagnosis of patients’ samples under light microscopy using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Stratification was done about age and nature of specimen to control the effect modifiers. The post stratification Chi square test was applied and p value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Mean age of the patients was 36.1 years ±7.8. Total 436 uterine biopsies included 260(59.6%) hysterectomies, 56(12.8%) endometrial curetting’s, 117(26.8%) evacuation specimens and 3(0.7%) polypectomies. Common pathologies included 124(28.4%) leiomyomas, 61(14%) proliferative endometrium, 52(11.9%) adenomyosis and 32(7.3%) endometrial polyps. Gestational trophoblastic disease was seen in 9(2.06%). Seven (87.5%) were partial hydatidiform moles, one (12.5%) exaggerated placental site reaction and one choriocarcinoma. Mole was common between 26-30 years with mean age of 27.2 years and prevalence was 6/100 abortions. Conclusion: Leiomyoma was the commonest (28.4%) uterine pathology followed by proliferative endometrium (14.5%). However, endometrial stromal sarcoma and endometriosis were found 0.2% each. High prevalence of mole was seen in this study. Partial mole was most common and choriocarcinoma was least common. Keywords: Hydatidiform Mole; Pathology; Prevalence.
