The incidence of post operative pulmonary infection vary according to the definition of post operative complications and the surgical site.
Aim
Main aim is to study the incidence and various risk determinants of postoperative pulmonary complications following elective abdominal surgery.
Methodology
A total of 103 patients who had an elective abdominal surgery were assessed for complications.
Results
Among 103 patients, 24.27% developed postoperative pulmonary complications. More commonly the elderly men, obese, smokers, prolonged surgery time and midline vertical incision were other determinants for developing complications.
Conclusion
Adequate preoperative evaluation of pulmonary functions can reduce pulmonary morbidity in a high risk patient undergoing an elective abdominal surgery.

Introduction
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the common gynaecological condition of diverse etiology 30% of the infertile women have anovulation due to polycystic ovarian disease, 20-30% of them have hyperandrogenemia and hyperprolactenemia1.
Methods
An explorative type of hospital based study of 102 patient, during a 2 year period was done with 75 (73.52%) married women and 27 (26.47%) unmarried women with varied symptomatology.
Results
67.6% were in the age group 21-30 years. Ovulation induction was done in all the infertile group, an ovulation induction rate of 88.40% was achieved and of these 21 (34.42%) conceived, others on follow up. Of the unmarried women, all had menstrual irregularities along with obesity (51.85%) and hirsutism (48.14%), after treatment 66.66% had an improvement in their symptoms, other still on follow up.
Conclusion
This study demonstrates the various presentations either single or in combination and their response to various medical and surgical management. There should be a rational approach to therapy, treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome should be tailored according to the major symptoms of the patients.

Leprosy continues to be a public health problem in India. Cases were selected regardless of their age, sex, religion, occupation and socio economic status. Pathological examination helps in confirming the clinical diagnosis. Clinically exact typing of leprosy is difficult and even slit-skin smear yields poor results. Majority of the cases were seen in second and third decade. Patients of both sexes were affected and it was more in males than in females. Patients from different religions were affected among these most of them belonged to Hindu religion.Keywords

Introduction
Cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality in women, especially in the developing countries, where palliative care is not greatly emphasized.
Objectives
The primary objective is to analyse the various medical, ethical and legal issues faced by terminally ill gynaecological cancer patients. The other objectives being pain assessment, overall health related quality of life, economic issues and to determine preferences regarding decision making and information disclosure to patients.
Methods
A non interventional hospital based cross-sectional survey of 100 terminallly ill patients was conducted over a period of 2 years (March 2007 - April 2009).With an informed consent, the patient is asked to complete a questionaire.
Results-Medical problems
74% of patients had intolerable pain, so deprived of sound sleep. 98% of them suffered from some form of depression. Poor educational status and poverty made these patients highly dependable on family members for financial assistance (64%). Comparatively the more elderly patients experienced an inner fear, as they were neglected or abandoned by the care takers.
Ethical problems
With good doctor-patient relationship, communication about diagnosis and management was established in 50% of cases, but majority of them (81%) were not involved in decision making, which amounts to medical negligence.
Legal problems
None of the patients were aware of their legal rights during the course of their illness

Pharmaceutical companies face the challenge that only ten percent of compounds tested in clinical trials eventually make it to the market and out of these, only a few will succeed to generate profit. Utilization of genetically altered animals (transgenic animals) in the pharmaceutical industry provides important insights into the function and interaction of particular gene products. Now, with the help of advanced technology numerous transgenic animals have been produced. The advent of transgenic animals has influenced the attrition rate in pharmaceutical research and development by increasing the quality of both targets and compounds. As with any experimental animal model, transgenic animals also have certain limitations but still they provide a powerful tool for the advancement of drugs in the pharmaceutical industry.Keywords
