She had no signs of meninigeal irritation, no focal deficit except left sided lateral rectus palsy and altered visual...
Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common congenital infection worldwide and most individuals are eventually exposed to this agent. In developing countries the seroprevalence in women of reproductive age approximates 100%. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has great importance to obstetriciangynecologists and pediatricians. Despite the heavy disease burden, CMV...
Background: Gunshot injuries result from the effect of a bullet or projectiles emanating from the use of firearms. Firearm injuries are associated with substantial emotional, physical and financial burden causing an enormous human toll and imposing huge costs on the society.

It is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and third leading cause of cancer death among females in least developed countries. There were an estimated 527,600 new cervical cancer cases and 265,700 deaths worldwide in 2012. Bangladesh stands 11th in the world in cervical cancer fatalities with 17.9...
Background: Breast tumor remains a worldwide public health problem for women. Linear array sonography is currently one of the main diagnostic methods for detecting breast lumps. Duplex color Doppler sonography has been helpful to distinguish malignant from benign breast disease and also to predict the disease prognosis. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the...
Background: Lower uterine caesarean section is a common mode of delivery now and surgical site infection is one of the most common and dreaded complication of surgery.
