Background: Biliary calculus disease is one of the most common disorders affecting the gastrointestinal tract. It is an important cause of morbidity. There has been marked rise in the incidence of gall stone disease in the west. In India, it is more common in northern states than in South India. Incidence of gallstones increases with age with a male to female ratio of 1:4. About 50% of these patients are asymptomatic.Methods: An analytical prospective study on patients diagnosed with cholecystitis and/or cholelithiasis was conducted in R. L. Jalappa Hospital Tamaka, Kolar. 58 patients were included in the study between June 2018 and May 2019. Data was collected and analysed using SPSS 22 version software. Categorical data was represented in the form of frequencies and proportions.Results: The age incidence was found to be highest between 31 to 40 years. The incidence of cholelithiasis was more in females. All patients presented with pain abdomen. Calculous cholecystitis was the most common mode of presentation. Open cholecystectomy was commonly done for cholelithiasis in our set up. Chronic calculous cholecystitis is the commonest histopathology.Conclusions: According to our findings evidence of recent and chronic infection Helicobacter pylori as shown by demonstration of IgM and IgG class of antibodies respectively to the organism was found in most of patients and histological evidence of the patients with cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. Thus, the frequency of helicobacter infection seems to be low in the patient population studied.
BACKGROUND: Survival studies may serve as benchmarks to develop cancer-related policies and estimate baseline survival rates in a given
patient population
AIM: To study the trends of breast cancer and its management in rural areas.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: This was a prospective study conducted between period of September 2018 to august 2019 for the period of 1 year
RESULTS: Most common age group involved was 41-50 years with mean age of 49.7 years which shows the importance of regular screening for
the patient in premenopausal state. Most common surgery performed was modied radical mastectomy with breast conservative surgery performed
only for 4 cases.
CONCLUSIONS: The importance of auditing institutional data cannot be stressed more strongly to help understand better, the benets of current
practices based on evidence. It also serves as a benchmark for comparing outcomes following further improvements in practices that can be brought
into patient care with advancing technology and medical treatment
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.
