Gram staining was performed on vaginal secretions collected from 301 women to determine the prevalence of BV. Each smear was assigned a score on the basis of the bacterial morphotypes identified. The bacterial pattern was also studied on 270 adequate, Pap-stained cervical smears and compared with the gold standard, the morphotypes on gram stain, to derive the validity of the Pap smear in diagnosing BV. Also each clinical criterion defined for diagnosis of BV was independently evaluated to determine their sensitivity and specificity. The overall prevalence of BV was 41.5% in the study subjects using Amsel's and Nugent's criteria. The Pap smear was 78.3% sensitive and 86.9% specific in detection of BV. Among the clinical criteria, the presence of clue cells on wet mounts was both highly sensitive (76.7%) and specific (92.4%) for diagnosing BV, while a positive whiff test had a specificity of 86.9% with sensitivity of 33.9%. Vaginal pH > 4.5 was sensitive (88.3%) but less specific (58.6%). The presence of a thin, homogeneous discharge clinging to vaginal mucosa had low sensitivity (56.3%) and specificity (48.9%). In this study, BV was prevalent in both symptomatic and asymptomatic women. The routine Pap smear was able to detect BV in the majority of women. Its utility can be greater in asymptomatic women, in whom this infection may go undetected otherwise, resulting in future complications related to reproductive health. Among Amsel's clinical criteria, the most sensitive and specific was the presence of clue cells in wet mounts. They can be detected easily by laboratory staff with little training in primary health care seting

Two different approaches have been used for adding PbTiO3. In the first, stoichiometric amounts of TiO2 and PbO are added with the starting reagents of PMN to fabricate 0.9PMN – 0.1PT and in the second, 10

To review the management of a neurologically intact patient with complete cervical spondyloptosis with particular attention to the role and timing of closed preoperative cervical traction and subsequent stabilization. Traumatic cervical spondyloptosis is typically associated with complete and irreversible spinal cord injury. In these patients, cervical traction can be implemented to restore anatomic alignment in preparation for stabilization with minimal consequence. When a patient presents neurologically intact, the management becomes more complicated. Preservation of function and restoration of anatomic alignment collectively represent the goals of therapy. The current literature does not clearly define the role of cervical traction in such cases. A patient with traumatic cervical spondyloptosis at the C7-T1 level presented to our institution and was found to be neurologically intact. Computed tomography demonstrated complete spondyloptosis with multiple fractures through the posterior elements. The spondyloptosis was reduced with closed cervical traction and underwent anterior and posterior instrumented stabilization. No new deficit occurred in the patient after reduction. Fractures of the posterior elements functionally decompress the spinal canal and thereby allow for cervical traction to be safely implemented in patients with spondyloptosis. Safe restoration of anatomic alignment in the neurologically intact spondyloptotic patient is crucial to minimize the extent of surgical stabilization and create a long-term stable construct of the fracture dislocation.

For the past four decades, the MGIMS has organized and run the Re-orientation of Medical Education (ROME) camp for final year medical undergraduates at one of the rural centres of the department of Community Medicine. The objectives of the present study were to learn students' perceptions of the value and effectiveness of various components of the ROME camp and learn the factors they perceive facilitate and inhibit learning. A mixed-method research design of quantitative (survey) and qualitative (force field analysis) methods was used. The study participants were all 61 of the final year medical undergraduates participating in the ROME camp in 2008. The quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS software package and summative content analysis of...

Being overweight is associated with two- to six-fold increase in the risk of developing hypertension. Studies in urban Indian population showed strong relationship between different anthropometric indicators and blood pressure levels. Surprisingly, little is known about these relationships in rural population of India. The present study was carried out to examine the relationship between different anthropometric indicators and blood pressure levels in rural population of Wardha district in central India. This cross-sectional study was carried out in the areas of two Rural Health Training Centres (RHTC) of Department of Community Medicine, Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sewagram; namely Bhidi and Anji through house-to-house visits. Two stage sampling method (30 cluster followed by systematic random) was used to reach the respondents...

Morphologic substrate is formed of lymphoid cells of different evolutional stages. Primary lymphoma of bone occurs predominantly in males; a male to female ratio is 1.8:1. It may occur at any age. The sites commonly affected are the long bones. In Lithuania 400 new cases of lymphoma are diagnosed every year. About 75% of them are non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Many histological types and subtypes of lymphoma exist. This variation leads to difficulties when reviewing the literature and comparing prognoses, treatment and oncologic outcomes. Treatment options for primary bone lymphoma historically have included local therapy with radiation or surgery with or without systemic therapy. The aim of surgery is prophylactic fixation of impending fractures or treatment of pathological fractures. We present a clinical case report of 40-year-old male who develope...

Similarly, community-based prevalence figures are unavailable in Puducherry,. The aim of this study was to estimate the number of persons diagnosed with diabetes mellitus in Puducherry. This study was conducted in the service area of the Urban Health Centre (UHC), Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Puducherry with retrospective data from family records. The diagnosis of diabetes was retrospectively documented by reviewing all family folders of 2667 families (Population 11,835) for the period of 1/1/2003 to 31/12/2006. The data was verified by home visits from January until March, 2007. The case definition used, was a resident diagnosed with diabetes by a medical doctor and who was on antidiabetes treatment for at least the past six months. We found 643 individuals who had been diagnosed with diabetes. The prevalence of known diabetes was estimated to be 5.6% (5.31% in males and 6.1% in females). The age-sex specific prevalence was estimated using the 2001 Census data. There are about 48,876 known diabetics living in Puducherry. (1) Community-based health surveillance data comprise a useful tool to measure the prevalence of diagnosed cases of diabetes mellitus within the Indian context; 2) Diabetes mellitus is an important public health priority requiring urgent preventive action as there are about 97,752 persons in Puducherry who have either been diagnosed with diabetes or remain undiagnosed for the disease.

Lowrisk patients have an excellent 5-year overall survival (>95%) even without any adjuvant therapy. In contrast to risk estimation by St.Gallen criteria, the use of these invasion markers have shown to spare adjuvant chemotherapy for a substantial part of all node-negative breast cancer patients. In addition, patients with high uPA/PAI-1 seem to have enhanced benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. The NNBC-3 Europe trial seeks to answer two questions: 1) Is risk assessment by invasion markers uPA/PAI-1 superior to that by clinico-pathological factors with regard to identification of low-risk patients?
