Impact of Surgery on the Hemangiogenic Profile, Especially VEGF Levels, in Lung Cancer Patients.

Lung cancer was considered to be rare at the beginning of the 20th century, but it has now reached almost epidemic proportions. It is the leading cause of cancer deaths in developed countries and is also rising at alarming rates in developing countries. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging viral infection without any approved treatment.

Role of Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) Scan in the Diagnosis of Chronic Low Back Pain - a Prospective Randomized Controlled Study in Osteoporotic Patients Hospitalized in a Tertiary Care Institute.

Objectives: Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by a decrease in bone mass, with accompanying microarchitectural damage that increases the risk of bone fracture. The aim of this study is to evaluate various risk factors for osteoporosis and the role of DEXA scan in diagnosing the problem in an earlier stage.

Materials And Methods: About 100 patients who presented with complaint of low back pain in our outpatient department were studied and subjected to a DEXA scan.

Amoebic Colonic Perforation Presenting as Peritonitis in Emergency, Incidence and Outcome: Our Experience.

Objectives: Amoebiasisis a common parasitic infection and fulminant amoebic colitis remains a very rare complication of this disease. The objective of the present study was to find the incidence and outcome of perforation peritonitis due to amoebic colitis in MMIMSR, Mullana, Ambala, India.

Material And Methods: 200 patients with perforation peritonitis were studied retrospectively, out of which 22 cases had colonic perforation, were selected over a period of five years, between 2012 to 2017, at MMIMSR Mullana.

The Safety and Efficacy of Clipless versus Conventional Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy - our Experience in an Indian Rural Center.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common surgeries performed nowadays. There are lot of advances in closure of cystic duct and artery (clip ligation, suture ligation), but it remains an enigma regarding efficacy, safety and postoperative complications for using non-absorbable suture material or Liga clip for the operating surgeon in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Objectives: Our study aimed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and complications of non-absorbable sutures ligation versus clips application in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and to compare the operative time and cost effectiveness of the two surgical approaches in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Unusual Entities of Appendix Mimicking Appendicitis Clinically - Emphasis on Diagnosis and Treatment.

Background: Abdomen is considered a magic box or a Pandora box where you will get different, unexpected pathologies along with rare entities. Appendicitis is the commonest emergency in surgery which presents challenges to surgeons because of a myriad list of differential diagnosis including both medical and gynaecological pathologies. Preoperative imaging plays an important role in diagnosis and management.

Comparative Evaluation of Intra-Operative Peritoneal Lavage with Super Oxidized Solution and Normal Saline in Peritonitis Cases; Randomized Controlled Trial.

Aim: To investigate the efficacy of super-oxidized solution (SOS) over normal saline in peritonitis cases. Our objectives are to present the potential clinical impact of intraperitoneal lavage with solutions for early recovery of the patient by reducing the infection rate.

Material And Methods: A double-blind random clinical trial was performed in 240 cases diagnosed as peritonitis at MM Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Mullana, Ambala, India, from December 2013 to November 2015.

To compare the efficacy of tamsulosin and alfuzosin as medical expulsive therapy for ureteric stones.

Aims And Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of tamsulosin and alfuzosin for the distal ureteral stone. This study assessed the spontaneous passage and expulsion of the stone.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Surgery at Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Mullana, Ambala, from May 2013 to May 2014.

Unusual location of primary hydatid cyst diagnosed on aspiration cytology.

Hydatid cyst (HC) is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus. It occurs frequently in liver and lungs. Hydatid cyst of neck is extremely rare occurrence, and here, we report it with this unusual location.

A Study of Evaluation and Management of Rare Congenital Breast Diseases.

Introduction: Polymastia and polythelia may be asymptomatic or cause pain, restriction of arm movement, milk discharge, cosmetic problems or anxiety. Cosmesis is the main indication for surgical excision of accessory breasts in axilla. In addition it also confirms the diagnosis and allays the patient's fear of harbouring a malignancy.

No Need of Fascia Closure to Reduce Trocar Site Hernia Rate in Laparoscopic Surgery: A Prospective Study of 200 Non-Obese Patients.

Background: Laparoscopy is widely practiced and offers realistic benefits over conventional surgery. Port closure is important after a laparoscopic procedure to prevent port site incisional hernia. Larger port size and increasing numbers of ports needed to perform more complex laparoscopic procedures are likely to increase the incidence of port site hernias (PSHs).
