Abstract:
The effects of chronic administration of Indomie instant noodles on the activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) of rat kidney was investigated. Fourty-eight (48) rats (both males and females) of average weight 210g were divided into seven groups. Each group consists of three (3) rats each, except for the control, which consists six (6) rats (i.e both the males and the females).The rats in group I, for both sex, were administered cooked indomie spiced with the seasoning, group II, were given raw indomie spiced with the seasoning, group III, were given both the cooked and raw indomie mixed together and spiced with the seasoning, group IV, were given cooked indomie without the seasoning, group V, were given raw indomie without the seasoning, group VI, were given both the cooked and raw indomie, mixed together, without the seasoning and, group VII, which served as the control, were given the normal fowl formulation feed. The administration was carried out for a period of four (4) weeks, the result showed that, there was a decrease in kidney activity of the enzyme.
Key words: Indomie instant noodles; Alkaline phosphatase.

Abstract:
Recurrent aphthous ulcers are painful ulcers of the oral mucosa that affects individuals’ atleast once in their lifetime. `An effective therapeutic strategy for aphthous ulcer must address both pain reduction as well as ulcer healing. Many therapies have been advocated from the past for efficacious management of these ulcers but no therapy available to date has been validated as gold standard for the management of aphthous ulcers. This review elucidates in brief about the past and current concepts in the management of aphthous ulcers.
Key words: Recurrent aphthous stomatitis; Ulcer; Management.

Abstract:
Complex Fibroadenoma (CF) is a subtype of fibroadenoma harbouring one or more complex features, including epithelial calcifications, papillary apocrine metaplasia, sclerosing adenosis, and cysts larger than 3 mm. These neoplasms tend to occur in the older patients. CF is usually smaller than a fibroadenoma and represents a degenerative change over a period of years. A case of CF is reported in which the mass was hard and gritty on cut section, measuring 7x6x6 cms, involving the entire breast and mimicking a carcinoma. The present case is reported in order to make the pathologists aware of this variant and to emphasize that complex fibroadenoma should be considered in differential diagnosis of breast lesions as it carries 3.1 times higher risk of malignancy as compared to the general population. This article also emphasizes on the various patterns seen on complex fibroadenoma. Also proposed are the follow up criteria for the management of these patients.
Key Words: Complex Fibroadenoma; neoplasms, malignancy.

Abstract:
β-Thalassaemias are very heterogeneous, both in the molecular defects and the clinical manifestation. Subjects with thalassemia trait, also known as carriers, have low mean corpuscular volume, low mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and increased hemoglobin A2. With approximately 7% of the worldwide population being carriers, hemoglobinopathies are the most common monogenic diseases and one of the world’s major health problems. Adequate care of the affected patients requires a wide variety of diagnostic and therapeutic measures. Thalassaemia minor (carrier) is generally asymptomatic and usually does not present with any significant symptoms. We describe a case of thalassemia minor in a 20year old female presenting with jaundice, giddiness, fever and peripheral smear suggesting hemolytic anemia and increased hemoglobin A2 on HPLC.
Key Words: Beta-thalassemia; thalassemia minor; hemolytic anemia; hemoglobin A2.

Abstract:
Background: Obesity is one of the most prevalent nutritional diseases of children and adolescents in many developed and developing countries. Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity and also to find out the various socio-demographic among school children. Methods: The students aged between 10- 15 years were interviewed personally with the help of oral questionnaire. A predesigned, pretested questionnaire proforma was administered to each child to collect data on socio-demographic profile. Parameters of height and weight were measured and recorded following the completion of the questionnaire and the results were compared against the body mass index for age percentiles of both sexes (body mass index percentile charts) developed by National Center for Health Statistics in collaboration with National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (World Health Organization).Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity is 13.22% and 6.82% among school children aged between10-15 years. It was found that the prevalence of overweight and obesity was more in girls compared to boys. There was no significant difference in prevalence rates among children with different age groups. Prevalence of both overweight and obesity increases with an increase in socio-economic status Interpretation and Conclusion: Prevalence of overweight and obesity were high among the school children and need to be addressed by primary and secondary methods of prevention.
Key words: Age; Sex; Socioeconomic status; Overweight; Obesity.
