An individual affected by acne is adversely affected psychologically. Several studies in the past have shown that acne is associated with decrease in health-related quality of life. These individuals suffer from frustration, embarrassment and lack of self-confidence. This prospective study was undertaken to determine the impact of acne vulgaris on quality of life among patients of different grades of acne patients in various age groups using a questionnaire Cardiff acne disability index (CADI). In our study the females were more affected than male. The most common age group involved as 21-25 years. In our study we found that the males were more concerned about the acne and the incidence of depressive symptoms was more in them as compared to females.

In practice acute appendicitis is the most common diagnosis. Acute appendicitis is often considered as a clinical diagnosis and imaging is an adjuvant to it. With the increase in awareness among the layman present day practice it is difficult to convince the patient to undergo surgery when the ultrasound shows non visualization of the appendix. In view of the above, we decided to study the role of Computed Tomography in diagnosing appendix is not detected by ultrasound. AIMS: The role of Computed Tomography in diagnosing acute appendicitis when ultrasound cannot visualize the appendix. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This was a prospective study done from January 2008 to December 2013 on patients who presented with acute abdomen and had a strong clinical suspicion of appendicitis but on ultrasound appendix could not be visualized. After excluding patients who were managed conservatively and not will...

One such incidentaloma, the thyroid nodule, is extremely common, found in some autopsy series in as much as 50% of the general population. Most thyroid nodules are benign, usually as a part of multinodular changes. Clinical examination is poor at detecting small thyroid nodules, highlighted by the fact that approximately 70% of clinically normal thyroid glands contain nodules of less than 1 cm when examined sonographically. The ultimate aim in the management of a thyroid nodule is to identify the small group of patients in whom the nodule is malignant and would benefit from early aggressive treatment while avoiding unnecessary investigation and surgery in the majority of patients who have a benign nodule. In view of the above said, we conducted this study to evaluate the diagnostic utility of ultrasound and doppler in characterizing thyroid nodules and differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules and correlation of this with the results of FNAC and or histopathology. A prospective study comparing FNAC and HPE on 110 patients was performed. Majority of our patients were in the age group of 40-49 years, predominant in females. Conclusion: FNAC sampling is a simple technique, which is easier to perform by the personnel and has better patient acceptability. FNA of thyroid is basically a technique that helps in differentiating lesions that require surgery from those can be managed conservatively. It can be used as initial modality in the evaluation of palpable thyroid nodules. But imaging also yields accuate results comapable to FNA.

It is caused by filarial worms of the Genus Dirofilaria, which is the natural parasites of dogs, cats, foxes, and wild mammals. Zoonotic filariasis caused by Dirofilaria species is rarely seen in the region of Dakshina Kannada. Most of them are seen in patients who are along the border of the district which shares its boundary with the state of Kerala, where dirofilariasis is constantly reported to occur. Here, we report a case of subcutaneous dirofilariasis, presenting as a subcutaneous nodule on the left cheek of a 28-year-old male from Cochin (Ernakulam), Kerala, South India. Two live worms were recovered from the subcutaneous nodular swelling.
