Abstract: Background: Cataract causes about 50% of world blindness. There is little likelihood of effective prevention becoming available in the next few years and so only treatment remains surgical. Phacoemulsification is now the standard and almost the only procedure in developed world. For various reasons, mainly socio-economical, most experts do not see phacoemulsification as the answer to the word cataract blindness. Hence the need to conduct a comparative clinical study to evaluate parameters like efficacy and visual prognosis in a cost effective procedure like SICS. Objectives: This study was undertaken to evaluate SICS as a substitute to phacoemulsification by comparing clinical parameters namely astigmatism, visual acuity and post-operative complications. Methods: A cross sectional study which included 30 cases of superior incision SICS, 30........

Key Word: Phacoemulsification; small incision cataract surgery; net astigmatism; surgically induced astigmatism; best corrected visual acuity.

Abstract: Background: Wound dehiscenceis described as partial or complete disruption of an abdominal wound closure with or without protrusion and evisceration of abdominal contents. It is one of the most dreaded complications in the post-operative period and of greatest concern because of risk of evisceration, with mortality rates reported as high as 45%. Incidence as described in literature ranges from 0.4% to 3.5%. This study is aimed to assess the association and prevalence of risk factors involved in causing abdominal wound dehiscence and also to study effective management of abdominal wound dehiscence. Methods: All cases presenting with wound dehiscence after surgery were included. An elaborate clinical history was taken in view of significant risk factors........

Abstract: Background: Ocular tumours form an important group of ophthalmic neoplasm which can impair vision. Their presentation, morphological type and management are challenging. Histopathological analysis is essential in making correct diagnosis and helps in deciding the management. Here we determined the clinical presentation and histopathologic type of ocular tumours in tertiary care hospital, Ajmer, Rajasthan, India. Aim: To study the morphological, clinico-pathological correlation and pattern of prevalence of ocular tumour. Material and method: This prospective study was conducted on 50 patients from July 2015 to December 2017. A structured performa was used to record findings, patient's bio data, clinical presentation, type of surgical intervention and histological diagnosis.........

Abstract: Nanotechnology is rapidly evolving domain, has changed the very foundation of cancer diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Since everything is made up of atoms and molecular matter, nanotechnology has provided a way to rearrange and restructure matter on the atomic scale thus allowing us to reach down to the very roots of any problem. This emerging field is multidiscipline science, essential for Electronic Engineering,Drug-delivery, Optical Computer Tomography Photo-Thermal Therapy, Imaging, Sensing, Catalysis etc. Nanotechnology had improved cancer detection and diagnosis in inceptive stage. The present article gives the information on use of nanotechnology to solve the enigma in the field of oncology..
