Pigeons are reared in Bangladesh principally with the interest of nutrition, recreation, religious attitude and an income source to earn a livelihood. The study was conducted for the assessment of characteristics of eggs and serum electrolytes concentration (Na, K, Ca and P) of Lakkha, Khaki and Shiraz pigeon's breeds. Three pairs of each breed were reared in cage with commercial feed and water. After laying eggs, the length and width of eggs were recorded. After hatching of eggs, egg shell thickness was recorded. Thickness of eggshell was 0.20±0.01 mm, 0.13±0.00 mm, 0.21±0.01 mm for Lakkha, Khaki and Shiraz breeds respectively. The squabs were sacrificed on the 45 th day after recording body weights and the blood sample was collected and serum sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphorus were analyzed. Serum sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphorus concentrations were: (96.35±5.20) mmol/L, (12.11±0.60) mmol/L, (5.89±0.67) mmol/L and (4.87±0.33) mmol/L for Lakkha breed; (102.96±2.14) mmol/L, (12.31±1.58) mmol/L, (5.80±0.76) mmol/L and (4.75±0.31) mmol/L for Khaki breed; (103.53±0.93) mmol/L, (12.23±0.60),(5.85±0.52) mmol/L and (4.68±0.17) mmol/L for Shiraz breed respectively. A positive correlation between serum calcium and thickness of eggshell was found in Shiraz and khaki breed respectively. On the other hand, a positive correlation was found between eggshell thickness and squab body weight only in the Shiraz breed. It could be concluded that serum calcium and body weight having a potential positive effect on eggshell thickness of corresponding pigeon breed.
Introduction: Radical Cystectomy (RC) is an effective surgical procedure for muscle invasive bladder cancer ( MIBC). 5 years disease free survival after RCs are PT2 - 81%, PT3a – 68%, PT3b – 47%, PT4a – 44% respectively, Stein et al, 2001[1]. In this study early surgical & oncological outcome have been assessed.
Patients & methods: A total of 24(N) patients underwent radical cystectomy with urinary diversion between December 2013 to June 2016. Age ranges from 41-69 years. Indications were T2HG for twenty cases and T1HG for four cases. Among the T1 tumours, one had early recurrence, one had numerous tumours and two had multiple tumours with concomitant CIS. Urinary diversion methods were: Orthotopic Ileal neobladder-1, Ileal conduit-20, Cuteneous Ureterostomy -3 (2 due to unhealthy mesentry with gut, 1 single kidney with poor general condition), For uretero-Ileal anaestomosis we used Bricker method in all cases.
Result: Mean OR time was 3:45 hours, blood loss average 350 ml, hospital stay after operation 9 days, enlarged pelvic lymph nodes were found in two cases. In follow up we found,stomal stenosis of cutaneous ureterostomy in 1 out of 3 cases, Ileal conduit prolapse with para-stomal hernia in 1 out of 20 cases, stenosis at uretero-Ileal anastomosis in 1 pt. .Distant recurrence occurred in two cases, one in Lt. Supraclavicular LN and another in sacrum near SI joint. No local recurrence was found in any case.
Conclusion: Our experience on RC and all the three types of UD are safe and effective for patient and encouraging for us.

More than 90% of malignant renal tumors encountered in children are Nephroblastoma. Renal Cell Carcinoma is extremely rare in children but in children older than 5 years with renal masses it is very important to suspect diagnosis. We present a 6 years old child primarily presented with abdominal mass and haematuria. The mass was described by ultrasonography & computer tomography as Wilms’ Tumour which is commonest before 5 years of age with peak age of presentation is 3 years of life. Surgery is the best treatment and prognosis is favorable when tumour is localized and completely eradicated. In our case no adjuvant therapy was given nephrectomy
