Background: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a major health problem for adult female. Women presented with pelvic inflammatory diseases give different per-vaginal findings. So we designed this study to assess the per-vaginal findings among the women presented with pelvic inflammatory diseases.Objective: The purpose of the present study was to measure the pervaginal findings...
Background: Hepatitis caused by hepatitis E Virus (HEV) is not uncommon in developing countries. It is usually a self-limiting conferring immunity against subsequent infection. However, HEV infection during pregnancy results in varying degree of morbidity, often fatal. The present study was designed to find out the seroprevalence of subclinical HEV infection during pregnancy at...
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of chronic morbidity and mortality worldwide. Acute exacerbation is an acute and sustained worsening of a patient’s condition from a stable state (beyond normal day-to-day variations) and it is caused in majority by infectious agents, particularly bacteria.Objectives: The aim of this study was to find out...
Background: Post-operative pain management aims to decrease pain intensity with patient comfort and to improve post-operative outcome. Multimodal analgesia is currently recommended for effective post-operative pain control with lower total doses of analgesics and fewer side effects.Objective: To compare the analgesic effect of pre-induction low-dose ketamine against conventional...
Background: Nosocomial infections have been discussed as a critical issue among intubated patients leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Tracheal colonization of different bacteria may be responsible for added or superinfections and may increase the risk of mortality. Irrational use of antibiotics also increases the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria.Objectives: We...

Background: In the last two decades, there has been increasing interest in the biology of vitamin D and a growing recognition is that vitamin D deficiency is common in tropical countries despite having ample sunshine. Myth of ‘routine exposure to sunshine does not require extra vitamin D’ results in severe asymptomatic vitamin D deficiency. Several factors like socio-economic...
Background: It is well established that fatty food causes gallbladder contraction by releasing cholecystokinin (CCK). Smoking also causes contraction of gallbladder. There are a limited number of studies evaluating the effect of smoking and fatty meals on gallbladder motility by ultrasonography.Objective: The aim of this study is to see the effect of smoking on gallbladder...
Background: The thyroid is a brownish red, earliest endocrine gland in mammals. The blood flow to the thyroid gland is very high. The thyroid derives its arterial blood supply from three vessels; of these, the superior and inferior thyroid arteries are fairly constant. The third artery, the thyroidea ima, is an inconstant vessel. Diseases of thyroid may need surgical intervention...
