ABSTRACT:
Background: This work on hollow viscus perforation was done to evaluate the etiological factors, clinical parameters, laboratory and Radiological investigations in the diagnosis and to compare and evaluate post operative recovery till time of discharge.
Methods: This is a prospective study of 41 consecutive cases of hollow viscus perforation that were operated, from December 2012.
Results and conclusion: The commonest cause was of hollow viscus perforation was perforated duodenal ulcer. Most common symptom of was pain abdomen and next was vomiting. The mean duration of presenting complaint was 48 hours. Prolonged duration of presenting complaint was associated with increased occurrence postoperative complications and prolonged hospital stay. Use of x-ray abdomen along with USG of the abdomen helps in clinching the diagnosis in most cases. The most common complication was postoperative wound infection. From this study it is found that early presentation, early diagnosis, good preoperative resuscitation, timely surgical intervention, good post operative care is essential in all cases of hollow viscus perforation to reduce mortality.
KEYWORDS: Hollow viscus perforation; surgery; clinicopathological study.

ABSTRACT:
The pulmonary function impairment is a common respiratory problem among industrial exposure. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of furnace smoke and flue and its duration of exposure on lung function. This is a matched cross-sectional study of Spirometry in 100 bangle workers with age range 20 – 60 years, who worked without smoke control ventilation or respiratory protective devices. Pulmonary function tests were performed by using Digital Spirometer (Spiro-excel). Significant, reduction was observed in the mean values of Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1), Forced Expiratory Ratio (FEV1/FVC%), Forced Expiratory Flow (25% -75%) and Peak Expiratory Flow Rate (PEFR) in bangle workers relative to their matched controls. It is concluded that lung functions in bangle workers is impaired.
