Thyroid cancer (TC) is the commonest endocrine malignant tumor whose incidence has been increasing steadily for decades in the world. This alarming rise in the incidence of thyroid malignancies, even in the face of low and stable and mortality rates is thought to be predominantly driven by overdiagnosis; notably evident in the case of papillary thyroid tumors. This has led to otherwise indolent tumors being aggressively managed causing potential harms to patients and levying unnecessary costs on an already overburdened healthcare system. The 5th edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classication of endocrine tumors, released in 2022, has introduced several changes to the nomenclature, grading and prognostication of thyroid proliferations based on pathologic features and molecular prole that can help in improving risk stratication by categorizing tumors based on histological and molecular characteristics, thereby reducing the burden of diagnosis of incidental and indolent lesions, as well as de-escalate the treatment. The present study attempts to review the histopathological diagnosis of all previously reported thyroid neoplasms at our institution and reclassify them according to the recently updated criteria.

Varicosities of the great saphenous vein (GSV) and its tributaries pose a common medical concern affecting up to 25% of adults. Understanding the intricate anatomical variations and their correlation with the fascia lata of the thigh is paramount for clinical management. This study conducted dissections on forty cadaveric lower limbs to scrutinize these anatomical nuances. The fascia lata of the anterior thigh was found to bifurcate into the supercial saphenous fascia and the deep fascia lata proper, forming distinct saphenous compartments. Three types of saphenous compartments were delineated: Type 1, characterized by a triangular compartment accommodating the GSV and its tributaries (30%); Type 2, featuring a fascial canal housing the GSV(30%); and Type 3, displaying a small fascial saphenous compartment with variable boundaries containing the GSVand one or two of its tributaries (40%). The study also observed the number of supercial tributaries ranging from 3 to 7 with a mean of 5.12 ± 1.95, while the GSV length ranged from 5 to 8.5 cm with a mean of 6.43 ± 1.65 cm. Furthermore, the length of tributaries in the saphenous compartment varied from 2 to 6 cm with a mean of 3.82 ± 2.74 cm. Noteworthy ndings include the intimate association of the external pudendal artery (EPA) with the saphenofemoral junction (SFJ) in 30% of cases and the relationship between cutaneous branches of the femoral nerve with the GSV, its tributaries, and SFJ in 52.5% of cases. This intricate understanding of anatomical relationships is indispensable for devising precise surgical strategies to manage varicosities effectively

Background: Phytochemicals form the basis of research and development of new molecules leading to the development of new novel drugs. In the oncology sector, plants have contributed more than 60% of the anti-cancer drugs, directly or indirectly. The present study Aims and Objectives: was conducted with the objective to explore the antitumor activity of various extracts obtained from dried roots of Centaurea behen L., dried fruits/beads of Elaeocarpus ganitrus Roxb., dried roots of Gloriosa superba L. and dried leaves of Ficus religiosa L. against human lung cancer (A 549) cell lines. Method: Phytoconstituents were extracted by Soxhlet method using hexane, chloroform, methanol and water as solvents. MTT assay was used to nd the anti-proliferative potential of these plant extracts. The trypan blue dye exclusion test was used to determine the number of viable cells present in a cell suspension. Cytotoxic activity was also evaluated against non-cancerous cell lines (MCF-10A). Results: On A-549 cell lines, 93% cell death was reported with G. superba aqueous extract followed by E. ganitrus methanol extract and F. religiosa hexane extract and C. behen aqueous extract with 87%, 81.61% and 75 % cell death respectively. However, none of the extracts showed cytotoxic effect upon testing against normal non-cancerous cell lines (MCF- 10A). Conclusions: The results of the current ndings prove that phytoconstituents present in these plant extracts have high anticancer potential. This study strongly suggests the possibility of medicinal plants as an important source of anticancer drug development.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to deciency of 17 α Hydroxylase is an autosomal recessive condition caused by mutation of the CYP17A1 gene. The following case report demonstrates a rare case of 16 year old female, who presented to the Emergency Department with dehydration and generalized weakness (in a state of shock) with hypertension. She had persistent hypokalemia and her mother gave a history of not attaining menarche. Keeping a triad of hypokalemia, hypertension, and delayed puberty we investigated her endocrine workup which led to the diagnosis of 17 α Hydroxylase deciency. She was later started on steroids and estrogen, which showed improvement in her clinical condition on follow-up.

Background: Caesarean section is the most commonly performed obstetric surgical procedure which with a suitable indication is potentially lifesaving. But it has many disadvantages for both mother and baby. Aims and Objectives: Hence, the present study is taken up to analyze various indications of primary cesarean section in a tertiary hospital, with an aim to reduce the C-section rate. Material and Methods: This is a Retrospective Observational study conducted at GGH Guntur, a tertiary care center, for 1 year from 1st October 2022 to 30 September 2023. All primary cesarean sections done at GGH, Guntur during the study period were included. All Repeat cesarean sections, primary sections done in other hospitals and referred to GGH Guntur, and patients with a previous history of laparotomy done for any obstetric or gynecological cause were excluded. Results: During the study period, out of 7548 deliveries, Normal deliveries were 3591, whereas Total cesarean sections were 3957. Of them, 2148 were primary cesarean sections and 1809 were repeat cesarean sections. So, the rate of primary cesarean section in our hospital was 54.3%. Fetal distress (32%) was found to be the most common indication for primary c-section followed by Cephalo Pelvic Disproportion (CPD) (26%). Conclusion: Our study highlights the need to lower c-section rates. Efforts like counseling women about the benets of Normal Vaginal Delivery(NVD), precise use of partograph, judicious use of oxytocin with other labour-inducing agents, timely admission and wise decision making while considering c-section, and expertization of instrumental vaginal delivery skills should be taken to achieve this.

Background: Enterocutaneous stula (ECF) is a difcult condition managed in surgical wards and is associated with signicant morbidity and mortality. Sepsis, malnutrition, and electrolyte abnormality are the classical triad of complications of ECF. This study Aims & Objectives: explores different treatment modalities and outcomes in SUM Hospital. All consecutive patients who Materials And Methods: developed or presented with ECF during the study period were included. The etiology, anatomic distribution, stula output, clinical course, complications, predictive factors for spontaneous closure, and outcomes for patients with ECF were studied. A tota Results: l of 20 patients were included in this prospective observational study, of which 13 were males and 7 were females. About 90% of ECFs were postoperative. The ileum was found to be the most common site of ECF. Also, 50% of stulas were high and 50% were low. Serum albumin levels correlated signicantly with stula healing and mortality. Surgical intervention was required in 60% of patients. Conclusion: Most of the ECFs are encountered in the postoperative period. Serum albumin levels can predict stula healing and mortality. Conservative management should be the rst line of treatment. Mortality in patients with ECF continues to be signicant and is commonly related to malnutrition and sepsis. Timely surgical intervention signicantly improves the outcomes.

Background: The National Medical Council (NMC) in its new educational reforms has made Early Clinical Exposure (ECE) sessions compulsory. Though it is being followed by all medical colleges, there are very few studies where perception of ECE in Biochemistry has been studied. Objectives: To determine the perception of I MBBS students about ECE in Biochemistry. Materials And Methods: Study design : Ambispective qualitative study, Study setting : Biochemistry Department. Subjects : I MBBS students 2022 Batch, Sampling technique : Purposive sampling, Study duration : 4 months. Retrospective component: ECE Reection questionnaire were given to all students after ECE sessions. We studied 120 ECE reections. Prospective component : We conducted Focused group discussion (FGD) and in-depth interviews (IDI) for 40 students. The Themes generated from reections, Focused group discussion (FGD) and in-depth interviews were analyzed. Results: Thematic analysis Themes on early clinical exposure sessions emerging from Focused group discussion (FGD) and in-depth interviews were : Understanding of ECE Method – “It was helpful and exposed us to different clinical conditions", Impact on Clinical Problem-Solving - “By ECE sessions, we learnt how to encounter clinical cases", Enhancements for ECE Sessions - “taking students to wards”, Diverse Learning Outcomes - “ECE sessions made complex manifestations into easily understandable topics". Conclusion: There was a broad understanding of ECE and perceptual shift in study topics among participants. Integration of basic sciences with clinical subjects was found benecial, though complexities were noted. Suggestions for ECE enhancements were more interactive sessions and real-life clinical exposure.

Background: Cesarean sections, which are performed either elective or as an emergency, have become a common procedure in obstetrics. Although there are many advantages of this procedure for the baby as well as for the mother in apt situations, there are many risks associated with it. Wound infection, or disruption is a common complication following caesarean section. The factors inuencing the risk of these complications are many but maternal obesity, an increase in the subcutaneous fat, and its closure after the procedure are the main risk factors. Since there are no basic recommendations regarding suturing, the type of suture materials to be used, etc., the procedure varies among the practitioners, and hence the complications after the procedure. Thus, in this article, the effects of suturing the subcutaneous fat in cesarean sections on wound disruption are reviewed and the current status of the choice of suture materials to be used is also considered. Conclusion:There are no strong shreds of evidence to prove the inuence of suturing the subcutaneous fat or the type of suture material used on wound disruption during cesarean section. Most of the authors agree with the fact that closure of the subcutaneous fat reduces the risk of wound disruption for subcutaneous tissue larger than 2 cm

Most of the\u0000authors agree with the fact that closure of the subcutaneous fat reduces the risk of wound disruption for subcutaneous tissue larger than 2 cm","PeriodicalId":14358,"journal":{"name":"International journal of scientific research","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141145553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Background: Most studies that have explored sense of community (SOC), attitude towards mental illness (AMI), self-compassion (SC), and attitude towards seeking professional help (ATSPH), have studied them individually in one sample population only without taking into consideration the geographical variations.Method: The comparative study used the ex-post facto research design and the mixed-method explanatory sequential design to understand the effect of SOC and AMI on SC and ATSPH while comparing University students (n=124) from 2 Indian states Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat. Results: The data from Lucknow and Vadodara were compared, SOC had no signicant effect on SC and ATSPH, but AMI had a signicant effect on SC and ATSPH. The qualitative study exploring AMI in Lucknow sample from Media department (n=10) highlighted three themes- reactions, causes and cures. The sub-themes of 'reactions' were sympathy, shock, and agony. The sub-themes of 'causes' were environmental factors, emotional factors, adverse experiences, and biological factors. The sub-themes of 'cures' were environment, pleasurable activities, care, medications, love, sympathy, and togetherness.
