For many decades, the epidemiological finding of females who have cervical cancer was identified as being suggestive of a sexually transmitted process and many biological agents were proposed as being responsible.

The experiences of nurses in providing end of life care: a review

Background: Non Communicable Diseases is the main cause of 70% death worldwide may also cause various signs and symptoms so the affected person can suffer and their families have more burdens. This situation can decrease the quality of life, increase the families or caregivers’ burdens, and provide less guarantee towards the dignity of the death. Therefore, the provision of qualified palliative care and end of life care are very important.

REcent root canal filling materials and techniques - A review

Obturation is the most important step in the triad of endodontics. Carefully and properly achieved obturation will lead to the formation of “fluid tight seal” which is essential for the success of the endodontic treatment. Over the past decade, the science & practice of root canal therapy has changed dramatically on evidence based protocols to develop highly advanced obturation materials and techniques. Gutta percha with sealer is the most versatile obturating material. But it has very big disadvantage that it does not bond to the root canal dentin.

To determine frequencies of different radiological patterns of interstitial lung diseases on hrct

Introduction: The use of hrct has an established role in the detection and in the differential diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ilds). In selected cases, a specific hrct pattern suffices for the presumptive diagnosis, even in the absence of histological confirmation. The major abnormality in ilds is disruption of the lung parenchyma. Objectives: To Determine Frequencies Of Different Radiological Patterns Of Interstitial Lung Diseases On Hrct. Study design: Cross-Sectional Survey. Setting: Department Of Diagnostic Radiology, King Edward Medical University/Mayo Hospital, Lahore.

Water level indicator using transistor bc547

Water level indicator is widely used in many industries and houses. People generally worry about the wastage of water, when the switch ON the motor and forget to OFF them. An Water Level Indicator may be defined as a system by which we can get the information of any water reservoir .Water level indicator system are quite useful to reduce the wastage of water from any reservoir, while filling such reservoir. But for domestic purpose we cannot go for the instruments which use radar or ultrasonic principle that costs high.

Excision of mucocele – A case report

Introduction: The mucocele is one of the most common benign soft tissue masses that occur in the oral cavity. Mucoceles (mucus and coele - cavity), by definition, are cavities filled with mucus. Two types of mucoceles can appear – extravasation type and retention type. Diagnosis is mostly based on clinical findings. The common location of the extravasation mucocele is the lower lip and the treatment of choice is surgical removal. This paper gives an insight into the phenomenon and a case report has been presented.

Determining the main cause of death associated with maternal mortality by focusing the autopsies on cadavers

Background: Identifying and controlling medical and social risk factors contributing maternal mortality leads to minimize the rate of mortality particularly in developing nations. The present study aimed to determine risk factors associated with maternal death by focusing the autopsies on cadavers. Methods: In this retrospective study, the hospital recorded files related to 122 pregnant women aged 15 to 45 years who died because of perinatal death that referred to Legal Medical Center between April 2009 and April 2014 were reviewed.

Hypoglossal schwannoma: A case report

Hypoglossal schwannoma is a rarely encountered skull base lesion that has generally both intracranial and extracranial parts. This article reports a case of hypoglossal schwannoma that is purely extracranial and presents itself with right-sided hypoglossal palsy and a right-sided neck mass. Magnetic resonance imaging is very important, delineated a mass at the skull base that consisted of both cystic and solid components, consistent with a nerve sheath tumor but not done in this case because of lack of means. Cervical approach was chosen, and the mass was completely removed.

A case of keinbock’s disease with negative ulnar variance and its management – A rare case report

Keinbock’s disease or Avascular Necrosis of lunate bone is a rare disorder leading to abnormal carpal motion. Although difficult to diagnose, detection in early stages of the disease and appropriate management can lead to a good functional outcome. Here, the authors present a case of 36 year old male who presented with Avascular necrosis of lunate bone of right wrist with Lichtman’s stage IIIA. The patient underwent joint levelling procedure by radial shortening osteotomy and associated benign cyst or geode drained and bone grafted.

Apraclonidine versus timolol combination to prevent intraocular pressure elevation after laser capsulotomy

Background & Objective: The increase of pressure in addition to cornea pain and edema could result in ischemic optic neuropathy. Different drugs can be employed for cutting down the intraocular pressure. The aim of this study was assessment the effect of Apraclonidineversus timololin decreasing intra ocular pressure after laser capsulotomy. Methods and Materials: This is a double blind clinical trial study that has been done on 200 patients with posterior capsular opacity that had been candidate for laser capsulotomy, were evaluated through tonometry method.
