Reduction of respiratory function among textile workers in the textile industry has been observed since the 1970s. The risk of respiratory problems among workers in card rooms, blowrooms and waste facilities and those who had an exposure of >5 years was almost 3 times higher compared to workers in other parts of the mill and or those with <5 years of exposure (Mathur et al. , 1993).

Intraneural Cyst of Common Peroneal Nerve - A Case Report

In the first few follow-ups there was slight dorsiflexion of the toes and in the subsequent follow-up there was increased dorsiflexion of the foot. The tumor is generally caused by mucoid degeneration of fibrous tissues or metaplasia of neural connective tissue after repeated microtrauma of the nerve within a limited space.

Tele-Health Medical Diagnostics System with Integrated Electronic Health Records

Quality of health care depends on the efficiency of the doctors as they have to care for at least 35 patients daily. In the case of referral based on paper documents, the quality of information flow depended on the past history of the patient and the respondents further conveyed that an accurate record of patient history was not available in most of the cases.

Evaluation of Vaginal versus Abdominal Hysterectomy for Non Prolapsed Uterus with Benign Gynecological

Disease

The purpose of this study was to determine the advantages of vaginal hysterectomy in the uterus without descent compared with abdominal hysterectomy. Vaginal hysterectomy is safe, feasible, and patient-friendly in most women requiring hysterectomy for benign conditions, and should be attempted.

Table -02 shows various indications for NDVH, including dysfunctional uterine bleeding (41.07%) the commonest indication, followed by fibroid (25%), adenomyosis (14.3%) and pelvic inflammatory diseases (8.03%)

A Potential Role of Apo B in the Risk Stratification of Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Dyslipidemia

The lipid, Apo B and BMI results for the phenotypes based on the triglyceride and Apo B group are depicted in Table 2. A history of diabetes is equivalent in risk of death to a history of myocardial infarction, and the combination links the risk7. The British Prospective Diabetes Study showed that better glycemic control reduced the frequency of microvascular disease, but the trend towards a reduced frequency of macrovascular disease was not statistically significant.

Perspective

Anabolic steroids' are any drugs (other than oestrogens, progestins and corticosteroids) or hormonal substances that are chemically related to testosterone, the male hormone that stimulates the growth of skeletal muscles (anabolic effects) and the development of male sex characteristics (androgenic effects) in men and women. Anabolic steroids were developed with the idea of avoiding the virilizing side effects of androgens while retaining the anabolic effects.

Population

The palmar index was calculated by dividing the palm width by the palm length and multiplying by 100. In contrast, this study showed a positive correlation between an individual's hand dimensions, including the palmar index, and gender.

Table 3 depicts the mean values of hand index. In South Indian and North Indian males, both right and left hand indices were more than 42

Out of 60 patients 30 cases were selected for type I tympanoplasty alone (Group A) and another 30 cases were selected for type I tympanoplasty with cortical mastoidectomy (Group B).

Prevalence of ABO and Rhesus Blood Groups Among Blood Donors

ABO and Rh blood group of 19,413 blood donors (including voluntary and surrogate donors) who donated blood for various reasons at S S Blood Bank, Davangere, were analyzed since the inception of the blood bank in 2005 to 2009 (five years). Comparison of the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups in this study and elsewhere.

A Study of Research Pattern of Postgraduate Dissertations in Pathology

The amount of work required to do mediocre research is exactly the same as for the best research. Histopathology (28%) was the most common study chosen for the thesis topic, and the various systems commonly preferred for study were female genitalia, gastrointestinal system, and skin.

Table 1. Types of study undertaken by pathology postgraduates is as follows:

A Clinical and Histopathological Study of Efficacy of Chlorhexidine on Gingival Healing

The actual burden of rubella infection in most of the developing countries, especially in Africa, is not well documented. Therefore, it is likely that the actual number of rubella cases in the community may be higher than the actual reported numbers.

Dentigerous cyst must be differentiated from other lesions such as adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, odontogenic kertocyst, amyloblastic fibroma, unicystic amyloblastoma, odontogenic adenomatoid tumor &. Dentigerous cyst associated with anterior teeth will result in failure of eruption and lead to aesthetic and orthodontic problems.

Anxiety score values showed a statistically significant decrease after 12 weeks of meditation (p<0.02). In this study, the majority of leiomyomas were confined to the reproductive age group with a higher incidence (49.37%) between 31-40 years, similar to previous studies2,3. The role of parity in the etiology of leiomyomas is still unclear.

Bilirubin Induced Neurological Dysfunction Syndrome - Report of an unusual case

Classic signs of bilirubin encephalopathy in infants with a severe hyperbilirubinemic period include increasing hypertonia, especially of the extensor muscles, with retrocollis (arching of the neck) and opisthotonus (arching of the back), or both, in association with varying degrees of drowsiness. , poor nutrition, hypotonia and alternating tone. These deficits result from damage to the corresponding cranial nerve nuclei in the brainstem6.
