ABSTRACT:
Background: Cytology is part of histotechnology, being essential to the diagnosis of several human diseases, like tumors, bacterial, viral and parasite diseases. Imprint, Tissue Printing or Cytology Decal is a cytological method of low cost and easy execution, capable of help or even define the diagnostic of a variety of pathologies. Case Report: The authors present an Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma (ATC) case in which the Imprint Method was used as a primary necropsy cytodiagnostic method. Conclusion: Although the cytological imprinting method having its limitations, it has low costs, simple execution and rapid results which enable the Imprint as a good method to diagnostic ATC in the autopsy room.
KEYWORDS: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, Autopsy, Cytopathology.

ABSTRACT
Oral mucosa is constantly subjected to external and internal stimuli and therefore manifests a spectrum of disease that range from developmental, reactive, and inflammatory to neoplastic. These lesions present either as generalized or localized conditions. Localized hyperplastic lesion of the gingiva or ‘epulide’, a well-recognized clinical entity is used to designate all discrete tumors and tumor-like masses of gingiva. We present a case where patient had a gingival hyperplastic lesion on the lingual aspect of anterior mandibular teeth.

Gore SS,Tarak S. A case report of fertility outcome after abdominal myomectomy in patient of uterine fibroids. J Pharm Biomed Sci. 2014;04(12):1097-1099. Available at www.jpbms.info
ABSTRACT
Uterine fibroids are the most common tumors of the female genital tract. Risk factors include nulliparity, obesity, family history, black race, and hypertension. Fibroids are estimated to be the sole cause of infertility in less than 3% of cases. In women desiring fertility who require treatment of fibroids, myomectomy is the preferred approach. Removal of cavity-distorting intramural and sub mucous myomas is generally recommended prior to proceeding with the infertility treatment. In this case report two intramural fibroids of 59х49х47 mm and 41х30 х 33mm and two small subserosal fibroid were found on ultrasonography which was the cause for infertility. Myomectomy was performed and after 9 months of myomectomy she conceived and delivered a live born boy, 2.75 kg in about 1 year of abdominal myomectomy.

ABSTRACT:
Leptospirosis is very important zoonosis in the world. Patients are typically young men. Here we report a 68-year-old healthy elderly man presented to our hospital with flu like syndrome and acute kidney injury. Eventually, Ig M Antibody for leptospira was found positive. Antibiotic treatment is efficient in the early and late or severe phases. In this case early and daily hemodialysis leads to rapid recovery of the patient.

Prasad VM, Sunkad VM, Gopal J, Chetnana KV. Functional outcome of fracture neck femur treated with bipolar hemiarthroplasty. J Pharm Biomed Sci. 2014;04(12):1050-1056. Available at www.jpbms.info
ABSTRACT
Background: Hip fractures are common and comprise about 20% of the operative workload of an orthopedic trauma unit. Intracapsular femoral neck fractures account for about 50% of all hip fractures. The objective of treatment of femoral neck fractures in the mobile elderly population is the early restoration of premorbid walking ability and quality of life. Hemiarthroplasty (Unipolar or Bipolar) is the most common treatment for displaced fractures of the femoral neck in the elderly and is associated with better functional outcome and fewer reoperations than internal fixation.
Aims and Objectives: To study the results of bipolar prosthesis with respect to pain, mobility and stability.
Methodology: The present study was conducted in the department of Orthopaedics, on patients who had sustained an intracapsular femoral neck fractures during the period of October 2011 to October 2012.
Results: The average age of the patients was 70.4years. The size of the prosthesis used varied from 39 mm to 49 mm. The fracture was managed by Bipolar hemiarthroplasty, we have excellent results in 10 cases (33.33%), good in 11cases (36.67%), fair in 7 cases (22.33%) and poor in two cases (6.67%) according to the Harris hip rating system. The pain was analysed at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months follow up according to Visual analogue scale (VAS). At 6 months follow up period, 70 % patients had no pain (0), 20 % had mild pain (1-4), 6.67 % moderate pain (5-8) and 3.33 % severe pain (>8).
KEYWORDS: Hip fractures; Bipolar hemiarthroplasty; Visual analogue scale.
