Abstract: A randomized placebo controlled single blind study was conducted to compare the effects of bolus doses of metoprolol and esmolol heart rate ,systolic blood pressure and rate pressure product during laryngoscopy and intubation.60 patients of ASA I and II randomly received placebo or study group(1 mg/kg of esmolol) or 80 μg/kg of metoprolol in 20 ml normal saline.Heart rate,systolic b.p were recorded serially after study drug , before induction,during laryngoscopy and intubation and1/2min,1min,11/2 min ,2 min each minute till parameters reach baseline or 20 minutes whichever is earlier. Rate pressure product was calculated and statistically evaluated in all 3 groups..............

Abstract: Thirty participants of SGT University Budhera, Gurgaon (Haryana) India including anesthesiologists, surgeons and paramedical staff were surveyed by giving a structured questionnaire regarding their preference for small or large surgical incision for laparotomy and for finding reasons for their preference for a particular incision. Most participants were in favor of small surgical incision. The most common reason for their preference was better cosmetic results.

Keywords: Large Incision, Small Incision, Preference.

Abstract: Introduction:Epilepsy describes a condition in which a person has recurrent seizures due to chronic underlying process. Epilepsy refers to a clinical phenomenon than a single disease entity, since there are many forms and causes of epilepsy. Objective:Toanalyse the etiological agents of late onset epilepsy. Method:Data for the study was collected from patients with epilepsy admitted in Department of Medicine at R.I.M.S RANCHI. Total of 60 patients were included in this study and their detailed etiological analysis was done. Conclusion:Neurocysticercosis was the most common cause of late onset epilepsy at R.I.M.S, RANCHI in this study.

Keywords: Epilepsy,LateOnset,Neurocysticercosis.
