Title : The evaluation of predonation blood donor deferrals in a tertiary care center blood bank – a 2 year study
Abstract : Blood donor selection is important to ensure the safety of both donors and recipients. Blood safety a major issue in the field of transfusion medicine. Persons who are disqualified or rejected from donating the blood are known as deferred donors.it is well known that a large number of apparently healthy donors are deferred from successful blood donation because of varied reason. They are the potential motivated donors the society losing. Hence it is very important to evaluate the reasons for deferral and retain the motivated donors. To evaluate the reasons of predonation deferral Source of data All the donors screened for blood donation in the blood bank and blood camps at SIMS, Shivamogga. Study type Retrospective study. Study period January 2017 to December 2018 Study duration Two year. Sample size 16,286 cases. Plan of data analysis Descriptive statistics will be done using Microsoft excel. It is a retrospective study. Causes of donor deferral were evaluated respectively including both in hospital donation (and outdoor camp donation) including voluntary and replacement donors from January 2017-december 2018 in Shimoga institute of medical sciences, Shivamogga. Karnataka. Among 16,286 donors screened, 1229 (7.54 %) were deferred from blood donation. temporary deferrals were significantly higher than permanent deferral. The most common reasons for temporary deferrals were anaemia (32.3 %), followed by underweight (20.17 %), medication (12.12 %), high BP (11.06 %). The common causes for permanent deferral included being uncontrolled BP followed by diabetes, heart disease, Hep B surface antigen and epilepsy. Insight into the reasons of donor deferral is very important to avoid the permanent loss of the donor as blood donation program is the life force behind any blood bank or hospital. deferral study also indicates the health status of the general population. Since most of the deferrals are temporary deferrals and we should give a clear message for the reason for deferral, so that they return for donation in the future..

Title : Comparison between Open Surgery versus Endovenous Laser Ablation for treatment of varicose veins- a prospective study
Abstract : Ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy (UGFS), radiofrequency ablation (RFA), and endovenous laser therapy are all minimally invasive treatments for large saphenous varicose veins (EVLT). When compared to flush saphenofemoral ligation with stripping, also recognised as open surgery or high ligation and stripping (HL/S), the proposed advantages include fewer complications, accelerated return to work, improved quality of life (QoL) scores, reduced need for general anaesthesia, and comparable recurrence rates..

Title : A prospective investigation of the treatment outcome of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients in Kashmir valley using molecular assays
Abstract : Drug-resistant tuberculosis strains pose a significant danger to worldwide tuberculosis control disease centres. Because of the poor health care system and budget constraints in low and middle-income countries, it is difficult to identify and monitor drug resistance instances utilising drug susceptibility testing and culture. In this situation, molecular tests like CBNAAT, TRUENAT, GeneXpert, and Line probe assays appear to be a cost- effective solution. The study's goal is to see how well molecular assays and Line probe assays work in diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis, medication resistance, and treatment outcomes in Kashmir valley patients. The current study was conducted in collaboration with the State Tuberculosis Office (STO) Kashmir and the Department of Chest Medicine, Chest Diseases Hospital (CDH), Govt. Medical College, Srinagar, and the Intermediate Reference Laboratory (IRL), State TB Training and Demonstration Centre (STDC), Chest Diseases Hospital, Srinagar. A total of 400 cases were taken for the study out of 195 known drug resistance and sensitivity in the ethnic population. Between 2017 and 2021, 195 individuals with drug-resistant TB were treated in our study. Patients ranged in age from 25 to 80 years old, with 101 patients (51.8%) being male and 101 patients (51.8%) living in rural areas. There were 135 smokers among the patients, 13 with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, 111 with rifampicin resistance, and 42 with isoniazid resistance. Patients with tuberculosis had the following treatment outcomes: 97 patients were cured (49.7%), 13 completed therapy (6.6%), 34 patients died before the treatment was completed, 11 patients were lost to follow up (5.6%), and one patient had treatment failure. More than half of the cases resulted in treatment success, which falls short of the World Health Organization's aim of at least a 75% success rate. A considerable number of patients dropped out of treatment before it was finished. These dropouts are a severe public health threat that requires immediate attention..

Title : A STUDY ON NON OPERATIVE MANAGEMENT IN ORGAN SPECIFIC BLUNT TRAUMA ABDOMEN AND ITS OUTCOME
Abstract :

Abdominal trauma usually occurs following motor vehicle accidents, fall or assault. The management of patients following trauma is an ongoing challenge to the trauma surgeons. Treatment of abdominal trauma requires an accurate assessment of the presence, nature and extent of injury. Therefore diagnosis usually requires application of imaging tools.
Blunt abdominal trauma (B.A.T) is particularly misleading since clinical signs might take hours or even days to appear, despite the fact that internal organ damage can be significant and fatal. The most common mode of injury that results in B.A.T is a road traffic accident (R.T.A). Diagnostic techniques such as F.A.S.T and C.T scans have shifted management patterns away from surgery and toward a more conservative approach. The goal of this study was to look into the management and outcome of blunt trauma to the abdomen in a tertiary care hospital.

Title : Correlation between faces scale and pressure algometer in pain threshold assessment in healthy children
Abstract : Pain threshold is the lowest intensity at which a specific stimulus is perceived as painful; it’s relatively constant across subjects for a given stimulus. For example, most subjects will define a thermal stimulus as painful when it reaches about 50° C. Similarly, mechanical pressure produces pain (Pressure Pain Threshold/PPT) at approximately the same pressure across subjects. Pain threshold because it relates to sensitivity to pressure is measured with a pressure algometer. The most objective of this study was to research the correlation between Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) and the pressure algometer as assessment of pain threshold in normal healthy children. 170 normal healthy children of both sexes with age ranged from 4-10 years old were allocated into three groups: (4 < 6 years old) group (1), (6 < 8 years old) group (2) and (8-10 years old) group (3) who been selected from several nurseries and schools. The pain threshold was assessed by both the Digital Pressure Algometer (Egyptian Digital Algometer, Patent No.258 for 2017) and FPS-R on dominant upper limb and lower limb. The results showed that the correlation between FPS-R and PPT of the study group was a weak negative significant correlation in both upper limb and lower limb. The correlation between FPS-R and PPT of children in group (1) was a weak positive non-significant correlation in both upper and lower limbs. The correlation between FPS-R and PPT of children in group (2) was a weak positive non-significant correlation in both upper and lower limbs. The correlation between FPS-R and PPT of children in group (3) was a weak positive non-significant correlation in both upper and lower limbs. We concluded that there is no correlation between the pressure algometer and FPS-R in assessing the pain threshold..
