Perforation of the Cervix by the Strings of an Intrauterine Device (IUD): a Novel Case and Systematic Review of the Literature.

Geriatric population is most vulnerable to various emerging communicable and noncommunicable diseases due to various socio-economic, physiological, psychological and nutritional risk factors. Adequate nutritional status is utmost important in older age as it helps in maintaining the immune response and preventing the morbidities and mortalities in this age. Thus, the opportunistic screening of malnutrition among geriatric population gives an extra edge for achievement of healthy ageing in the elderly.

The role of laboratory testing of free peritoneal fluid during an explorative laparotomy in the diagnosis of an extra-ovarian neoplasm.

We present a case in which the diagnosis of the ovarian carcinoma was made only by the free peritoneal fluid cytology as all the other specimens were negative for malignancy. We discuss the role of laboratory testing of the free peritoneal fluid even in small amounts or of the peritoneal drainage in cases of ovarian cystic neoplasms not only for the staging, but also for the diagnosis itself (Ref 16).
