Here, we present a rare case, of Amyand's hernia in an 18 month-old boy who was brought with an inguino-scortal swelling which later on exploration was left sided Amyand's hernia with sliding component. Amyand's hernia is not very often seen in the clinical practice and its pre-operative diagnosis is very difficult hence awareness of this disease condition is essential for preoperative suspicion and even diagnosis of the condition.

The aim of the study was to identify the clinical indications for percutaneous coronary interventions and in-hospital outcomes of percutaneous coronary interventions in a tertiary-level hospital without onsite cardiac surgery backup.

The private sector occupies a major share of the country’s health care, but its contributions has not been fully analyzed. A mixed methods study to analyze Dhulikhel hospital out-reach centers, a not-for-profit private health care provider and their collaboration with the Primary Health Care Centers of the public sector was performed in rural Nepal. The study showed that these outreach centers are contributing to improve access to quality care for the rural population but are underutilized. The patient’s preference of a particular service center, private or public, was not determined by the cost and they perceived quality of care at both centers. The existing level of communication and collaboration between thes sectors were inadequate demonstrating gaps between policies and practices. Platforms for better communication and coordination of services need to be established. Private sector should focus on complementing and filling these gaps, while public sector formulates and implement practical polices to diversify resources to serve the population in need

Numerous quality control schemes are available, with combinations of procedures, most of which are tedious, time consuming and can be “too technical” whereas commercially available quality control materials can be expensive especially for laboratories in developing nations like Nepal. Here, we present a procedure performed at our centre with self prepared control serum and use of simple statistical tools for quality assurance. Methods: The pooled serum was prepared as per guidelines for preparation of stabilized liquid quality control serum from human sera. Internal Quality Assessment was performed on this sample, on a daily basis which included measurement of 12 routine biochemical parameters. The results were plotted on Levey-...

We aimed to determine the association of evidence‐based processes of care for acute ischemic stroke ( AIS ) and clinical outcome of patients who participated in the HEADPOST (Head Positioning in Acute Stroke Trial), a multicenter cluster crossover trial of lying flat versus sitting up, head positioning in acute stroke. Methods and Results Use of 8 AIS processes of care were considered: reperfusion therapy in eligible patients; acute stroke unit care; antihypertensive, antiplatelet, statin, and anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation; dysphagia assessment; and physiotherapist review. Hierarchical, mixed, logistic regression models were performed to determine associations with good outcome (modified Rankin Scale scores 0–2) at 90 days, adjusted for patient and hospital variables. Among 9485 patients with AIS, implementation of all processes of care in eligible patients, or “defect‐free” care, was associated with improved...

Evidences associating it with cell proliferation and multiplication have linked with its potential role in cancer causation and treatment modality. Vitamin D is also finding its importance in mental disorders, proper immune functioning, and cognitive performances. Here we present a review article on association of Vitamin D with common but infrequently diagnosed cases non specific musculoskeletal pain, Neurofibromyalgia.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/stcj.v1i1.7987 Sunsari Technical College Journal Vol.1(1) 2012 45-47
