Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evaluation of Suspected High-Altitude Cerebral Edema in Patients from High Altitude.

Background: Trekkers in high altitude of Himalayas could lead to Acute Mountain Sickness and High Altitude Cerebral Edema. This study was conducted to evaluate magnetic resonance imaging findings among the clinically suspected High Altitude Cerebral Edema patients rescued from high altitudes in Nepal Himalayas.

Methods: 49 patients with clinically suspected High Altitude Cerebral Edema were retrospectively evaluated in this cross-sectional study who were sent for a brain magnetic resonance imaging.

Tuberculosis in Staff and Students of Patan Hospital.

Background: There is a high risk of occupational exposure to tuberculosis among healthcare workers in endemic countries. Regular screening for tuberculosis among healthcare workers is not carried out in Nepal. Infection control measures are also not routinely implemented.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Spondylodiscitis.

Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the imaging modality of choice for imaging spinal infection due to its high sensitivity and specificity. This study aims to study the magnetic resonance imaging changes in patients with spondylodiscitis.

Methods: The study was a retrospective study carried in a multimodality imaging centre in Kathmandu.

Correlation of gestational age by sonographic measurement of fetal parameters in women in eastern Nepal with existing standard normograms.

This is the prospective study carried out to correlate gestational age by sonographic measurements of fetal parameters by normograms of Frank P Hadlock with the gestational age by Last Menstrual Period (LMP) (considered our standard) in various trimesters of normal pregnant women of eastern Nepal. Seventy normal pregnant women with regular menstrual cycles of eastern Nepal were evaluated in this study. Gestational age was calculated by Rempen (in case of Mean Sac Diameter) and Hadlock (in case of Biparietal Diameter, Head circumference, Femoral Length and Abdominal circumference) normograms.
