OBJECTIVE:To evaluate role of radio-imaging, with emphasis on MRI in comparison to other modalities, in patients of paediatric age group presenting with epilepsy and correlate it with clinical findings in Bundelkhand region. METHODS: Prospective data was obtained from evaluation of patients presenting with epilepsy in paediatric OPD and IPD, between 2010 and 2012. A total of 271 patients presenting with epilepsy (> 2 episodes of seizures) were included. CBC, Chest X-ray and CSF analysis were also performed for clinical evaluation as per need. Neurosonogram was done in 41 children below age of 1year (15.1%), Head CT was obtained in 167 (61.7%), MRI in all cases. EEG was done in all cases, except in 5 cases of trauma. Epilepsy provoked by causes such as fever, electrolyte imbalance and dehydration were excluded. RESULTS: We observed that generalized seizures were more common presentation, followed by partial seizures, mostly complex. Majority had more than 2 episodes of seizures at the time of presentation. MRI revealed positive findings in 191 cases (70.4%) and CT in 64 cases (38.3%) of 167 done. MRI had positive findings in 35 cases (34
Introduction:Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common cause of cancer and the sixth leading cause of cancer death among men worldwide. The worldwide PCa burden is expected to grow to 1.7 million new cases and 499 000 new deaths by 2030 simply due to the growth and aging of the global population. Aims: To incidentally diagnose prostate cancer during TURP or open prostatectomy in patients clinically diagnosed with prostatomegaly with severe Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Methods:This study “Incidental Prostate Cancer†was conducted on 100 patients selectedin Surgery Department at M.L.B. Medical College, Jhansi between January 2020 to June 2021according to the inclusion criteria; patients were first examined clinically followed specific investigation like PSA, Prostate volume measurement before undertaking surgery for Benign prostatic hyperplasia and the resected specimen/chips of prostate were sent for histopathological examination for confirmation of malignancy. Result: The result of this study demonstrated 1 12% incidence of IPC on clinically diagnosed BPH patients. Patient’s age and PSA level were determined to be factors affecting IPC incidence. Compared to other age groups and PSA level groups, IPC incidence was higher in patients aged >60 years and/or with PSA level >4m=ng/mL. A relation between IPC and Gleason GG2 of 50% was determined statistically on histopathological examination. Conclusion: Incidental prostate cancer diagnosis among patients operated for BPH accounts for a significant proportion. PSA levels and patient’s age are valid diagnostic indicators of IPC. Higher Gleason score ………… significantly correlated with IPC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
