Teaching of Breast Examination skill to Medical Students is a real challenge all over world as Breast is an intimate organ. Hence there is increasing effort to find alternative to teaching on real patients for confidant development of communicative and Palpative skull. In ethically prohibitive cultures (ie. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) Didactic Lecture followed by Video demonstration plays significant role in ethically prohibitive cultures in teaching of Breast Examination Communication skill; where as Didactic Lecture followed by Video demonstration and Mannequin Demonstration and Practice plays significant role in ethically in teaching of Breast Examination Palpation skill. In ethically less prohibitive cultures (ie. India) Didactic Lecture followed Bed side demonstration of Breast examination on real patient plays significant in Communication skill ; where as Didactic Lecture followed by Video and Bed side demonstration of Breast examination on real patient and Practice plays significant role in Breast Palpation skill.

Objective: To compare our findings with published success rates for mastoidectomy performed withconcurrent nasal surgeryMaterials and Method: The study was conducted from May 2017 – September 2019 in the E.N.T departmentof Saraswathi Institute of Medical Sciences, Hapur. We retrospectively reviewed 35 consecutively presentingpatients who had undergone concurrent septoplasty and mastoidectomy with or without ossicular chainreconstruction. . The study consist of patients ranged in age from 18 to 50 years and were followed up for 1- 24 months. Surgical success was defined as presence of an intact TM graft ,well epithelized mastoid cavitywithout any evidence of middle ear effusion .Results: Our 2 primary finding – graft survival rate of 91.42% and an overall surgical success rate of 77.1% compare favourably with the results of other studies of outcomes of isolated mastoidectomies. Our dataindicates that simultaneous performance of nasal surgery and mastoidectomy is feasible in adults. Nasalpacking has got short term effect on ET dysfunction but rarely severe enough to cause symptoms or middleear effusion. Concurrent approach is useful in TM graft survival or mastoid cavity epithelisation in longterm overall surgical treatment success. The concurrent approach requires only single time administrationof general anaesthesia, cost effective treatment, improved overall symptomatic relief from nasal and earsymptoms.

Background: This study was designed to identify the causes, demographic, clinical profile & classify the patients according to the ocular trauma classification group. Method: 60 children of age fifteen year or less, with ocular injury, who had presented to emergency services/out-patient department of the Regional Institute of Ophthalmology (RIO), IGIMS medical college & hospital, Patna (Bihar) were included. Demographic data, nature and cause of injury, duration between injury & presentation to the hospital and diagnosis were recorded. Evaluation of visual acuity, anterior segment and fundus was done. Results: Majority of injuries occurred in children 7yrs and older (64.7%). There were 50 (83.33%) boys and 10 (16.66%) girls. 40 (66.67%) of cases presented within 24hrs of the injury while 20 (33.33%) of cases presented after more than 24 hr after trauma. Rural patients comprised 39 out of 60 (65 %) while urban were 21 out of 60 (35 %). Most of the patients n=36 (60%) belonged to average socioeconomic status fallowed by low socioeconomic status n=20 (33.33%) & high socioeconomic status n=4 (6.67%). Most of the children n=35 (58.33%) were in their primary school. The highest proportion of injuries occurred outside (eg streets, roads, playgrounds, schools) n=40 (66.67 %) followed by home n=20 (33.33%). Conclusions: Eye trauma in children occur most frequently outdoors. Early diagnosis, management and prevention of complications of ocular injuries can be possible by educating parents and children.

Background- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia(BPH) is a common condition in older men. BPH refers to a proliferative process of cellular elements of prostate. It is estimated that close to 90% of men will develop histologic evidence of BPH by age of 80. Uroflowmetry and IPSS(International Prostate Symptom Score) can predict the presence of obstruction. TURP(Transurethral Resection of Prostate) is one of the most frequently performed surgery by the urologists. Aims & Objectives - The objective of the study is to evaluate the changes in IPSS & Uroflowmetry before and after TURP. Materials and Method - Evaluation was done on 30 patients of clinical BPH in Surgery Department, SVBP Hospital, Meerut from September 2018 to September 2019. Case records containing variables on IPSS before and after TURP, maximum flow rate before and after TURP, their subjective evaluation were recorded for each patient. Observations & Results - The subjective response was significant, as analysed on the basis of changes in IPSS and maximum flow rate as 13.53 in IPSS and 8.688 in maximum flow rate. There was a weak correlation between pre and post operative maximum flow rates but a strong correlation between pre and postoperative IPSS. Conclusion- TURP has been the standard surgical therapy for lower urinary tract symptoms secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia. IPSS is a good parameter for using as an indication of TURP and medical therapy and should be used in pretreatment evaluation of all patients who come with symptoms suggestive of BPH and their treatment modality defined on the basis of result of IPSS.

Background: The surgical anatomy of appendix coupled with a lax abdominal wall in children creates a possibility of accomplishing an appendectomy using a small incision. The aim of the present study was to compare the outcomes of classical grid iron, small incision and laparoscopic appendectomy in children with uncomplicated acute appendicitis. Method: A prospective comparative study was undertaken at a tertiary care hospital, where patients who underwent either open (classical or small incision) or laparoscopic appendicectomy were studied and compared for various intraoperative and postoperative parameters. The subjects selected for study were children in the age group of 4 – 14 years of age, and were diagnosed as having simple acute appendicitis. Results: Out of a total of 201 patients included in the study; 78 underwent appendectomy by classical Grid iron incision, 62 by small incision and 67 by a conventional laparoscopic method. The baseline parameters were similar in all the three groups. The mean operative time was significantly lower in small incision group. There was no intra-operative complication noticed in any of the groups. Conversions were significantly higher in the small incision group as compared to classical grid iron and laparoscopic approach. The mean pain scores (visual analogue scale) were significantly decreased in the laparoscopic group. The mean hospital stay and return to activities of daily life was significantly increased in the classical grid iron group. Conclusion: Laparoscopic approach for appendectomy seems to be a clear winner in uncomplicated paediatric appendicitis, but small incision approach provides an acceptable alternative, as compared to the standard grid iron incision.

Introduction: No-Scalpel Vasectomy is a safe and effective technique of male fertility control. It is a minor procedure with minimal side effects and thus increases the patient acceptance, who have a vital role in decision making for family planning. Aims: to present our experience and results in patients undergoing no-scalpel vasectomy, their motivating factors, the failure rate of vasectomy, complications and its effect on sexual desire and performance. Material and Method : A total of 204 patients undergoing a no-scalpel vasectomy between march 2015 and august 2019 were included. Details about their motivational factors, socio-demographic profile were noted and post vasectomy complications were recorded and assesed. Results : No immediate or delayed complications of haematoma, wound infection, scrotal sinus, vasectomy failure, sperm granuloma and chronic scrotal pain was observed. Only one patient presented with pain and stitch granuloma which was excised later. None of our patients presented with any psychological and sexual problems in the follow-up. Conclusions : Men are often reluctant to consider vasectomy because of inaccurate information and myths. No-Scalpel Vasectomy is a safe procedure, but adequate motivation and education about the procedure is a must with follow up and sperm count at 3 months.
