Surgical Malignancies are not a common cause of admission to the mine hospital in Chingola – Zambia, however they do occur; they formed 0.4% of the admissions during the study. These were due to malignant disease affecting people of all ages. In this study, the youngest was two years old and the oldest was 75. The mean age was 40.8 years. The affected population was relatively young. Nearly all the patients were from the Bantu ethnic grouping (97.6%). Both females and males were equally affected (M:F 1:1).

Immediate loading protocols for the implants were developed to reduce the time required for healing phase, avoid second surgical procedures and provide a functional provisional prosthesis. Immediate loading requires recording impression soon after placing implants and fabrication of the provisional prosthesis.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the world’s deadliest cancers and considered as the second main cause of cancer-related mortalities. Therefore, the discovery of effective and safe drugs for chemoprevention and treatment of HCC is of great importance. This study aimed to investigate the potential anticancer activity of celery seed oil (CSO).The serum tumour marker AFP and liver enzymes ALT, AST, γ-GT,ALP, TB,as well as final body weight and liver index are valuable references, widely used in animal studies to diagnose and monitor the development of hepatocarcinogenesis.

Objectives: Determinate with a semi quantitative method, the oxidative stress produced by tobacco smoke, in  function of the number of cigarettes and the age of the smoking, measuring the concentration of salivary malondialdehyde (MDA), using the  dipsticks,

Giant cell tumours of the femoral head and neck treated by primary treatment by curettage and bone grafting. But recurrence within years. Necessitating the likelihood of recurrence followingcurettage and bone grafting, particularly at thisanatomical site, is stressed, and the possibility thathip replacement arthroplasty be considered theprimary treatment of choice as per literature. We are presenting a case of pathological fracture of femoral neck in a 55 years male patient treated with hamiarthoplasty, through modified hardinge approach.

Introduction Aims: Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), is considered a rare disease, but also present in countries with high prevalence not exactly high economic development and technology. The correct diagnosis is made with the criteria established by the American-European Consensus Group (AECG): presence of both ocular and salivary sign, the appearance of specific auto antibodies in serum and / or positive histopathological test of the salivary glands.

A field experiment on “Yield and economics of safflower as influenced by INM under irrigation and rainfed planting” was conducted during rabi, 2013 at College Farm, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad.

Purpose: While numerous pediatric therapy decisions are made by parents, minimal research has been conducted on parents’ perspectives regarding their experiences during high intensity interventions of neuro-developmental treatment (NDT). The purposes of this study were to: 1. investigate the perceptions of parents of children with disabilities regarding their child’s participation in an intense pediatric therapy program (NDT); and 2. Examine if differences occur in functional skills of children with motor disability after an intensive NDT program. 

Understanding Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone has been described as the most challenging benign bone tumors. The majority of these tumors, classically, are involved in the epiphysis of long bones. Although this disorder is benign, GCTs show a tendency of bone destruction, local recurrence and, occasionally, pulmonary metastasis. But axillary lymohnode metastasis is very very rare. Herein, we present an extremely rare case of axillary mets even after below elbow amputation in a case of recurrent giant cell tumor in a 45 yers male residing at Kolkat,.West Bengal.

In 1922 Leri and Joanny, first described Melorheostosis (synonyms: candle bone disease, melting wax syndrome, Leri disease). Actually it’s a metaplacia. Men and women are equally affected, dermatomal distribution, monomelic distribution. Onset is insidious, and most common symptom is pain.  Classical radiological appearance of ‘flowing hyperosteosis’ resembling hardened wax that has dripped down the side of a candle. Recent literature shows relation with LEMD 3, encode inner nuclear protine,
