Hospital acquired infection or “nosocomial infection” adversely affects both patients and hospitals. Impact of nosocomial infections ranges from increased length of hospital stay, emotional stress, disability, death of the patients as well as increased hospital cost for the patients and providers. Studies in India have reported nosocomial infection rates from 8% to 58 %. To combat these infections, hospital needs effective methods of disinfection and sterilization which has nowadays been centralized into a single department called Central Sterile Supply Department. In our study Outcome was measures by two parameters: a) User Satisfaction b) Microbial count It was found that in user satisfaction 70% of user end staff are satisfied with the services provided to them. In microbial count of different items sterilized showed that 89 % samples are sterile whereas 11% samples show growth of three different organisms e.g. Coagulase-negative staphylococci, Klebsilla and Act. Baumannii. ...

One of the serious complications that are being experienced by women over many eras has been the issue of postpartum syndrome and the ways of coping with it. It is clear that many women can lose attention to their lives, their babies and their husbands. Actually, they become less happy and more stressful. Yet, this is not bound to the physicality of their beings, it is because of hormones. As is it is known that after childbirth, a dramatic drop in hormones (estrogen and progesterone) in women’s body may contribute to postpartum depression. Other hormones produced by mothers’ thyroid gland also may drop sharply-which can leave mother feeling tired, sluggish and depressed. Frankly, women need to feel emotionally supported in those hard times. Yet how can it be possible when they are fully confronted with the degenerated body image, inconvenient hormone rates and stressed mind after birth? Possibly they can be backed up by their husbands or other family members and they can get proper mo...

Appropriate antenatal care is proven to play a crucial role in ensuring good outcome of the mother and the baby. Good antenatal care ensures periodic assessment of growth and development of the baby, and supplementation of additional nutrition required for the mother. It also provides prompt recognition of any complication that befall pregnancy, one such dreaded complication being gestational diabetes mellitus. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as the carbohydrate intolerance of varying severity with onset or first recognition in pregnancy. The prevalence of GDM in India is around 3.8-21%, and it is seen more in urban women. Physical environment, ethnicity, genetics, dietary patterns, lifestyle, obesity, family history of diabetes mellitus, and history of GDM in the previous pregnancy are independent risk factors for the development of GDM. Carbohydrate metabolism in pregnant women differs from the non-pregnant state, where there is an increased demand for metabolic fuel...

Introduction: Urinary incontinence is a common problem with widespread human and social implication causing discomfort, shame and loss of self-confidence. It not only affects the quality of life but also has significant cost complications. Aim of the Study: To find out the effectiveness of kegel exercise, interferential therapy and transverse abdominis strengthening in treating patients having stress urinary incontinence. Methodology: A total of 50 subjects having stress urinary incontinence at least 6-month duration were recruited randomly. Group 1 experimental group was treated with kegel exercise, interferential therapy and transverse abdominis strengthening and Group 2 conventional group was treated with kegel exercise and transverse abdominis strengthening for five days/week for 4 weeks. Outcome Measures: Urinary incontinence questionnaire, modified oxford scale and transverse abdominis strength by modified sphygmomanometer. Measurements were taken before and at the end of...

Abstract Ovarian granulosa cell tumors (GCT) are rare ovarian neoplasms. The main treatment for GCT is surgical. The volume of operation depends on the stage of the disease and the age of the patient. The possibility of maintaining fertility in patients of reproductive age in the early stages of the disease and the feasibility of lymphadenectomy are discussed. The positive effect of repeated cytoreductive operations for relapse was demonstrated. Role of chemotherapy in the treatment of GCT, due to the rarity of GCT and the late recurrence of the disease, is still not defined. Adjuvant chemotherapy is not shown to protect against relapse in patients with adult type (AGCT). Hormone therapy is considered to be a promising direction for the palliative treatment of AGCT relapses.

Abstract Background: There are few exploratory studies on Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection and cervical cancer in indigenous populations. Because these women represent a very peculiar population in terms of habits and cultural rituals of its own, HPV infection and its related-oncogenesis potential could not denote the same progression characteristics as compared to the other populations commonly studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate 13 years of cervical cancer screening actions and assistance in the Xingu Indigenous Park, through cytological analysis and DNA-HPV molecular test. Methods: This is an observational, transversal and retrospective study conducted by data analysis of screening and control actions of uterine cervical HPV-associated lesions in the scope of the Xingu project supported by the Universidad Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), Brazil. The population studied consisted of indigenous, sexually active women, aged 11 years or older, belonging to sixteen ethni...

Abstract Objective: To compare between different uterine wall incision direction, vertical incision and transverse incision in abdominal myomectomy of intramural myoma regarding to complications.   Methods: The study were conducted on 60 patients attending the shatby University Maternity Hospital underwent abdominal myomectomy for a single site intramural myoma. They were randomly divided into vertical incision group (30 patient) and a transverse incision group (30 patient). The intra-opera- tive blood loss, uterine wound size. Results: We proved that there was no significant difference between both incision regarding intra-oper- ative blood loss, uterine incision size.
