Screening for gynecological malignancy.

Treatment for gynecological malignancy depends for its efficacy at least in part on the stage at presentation. Earlier diagnosis would allow the opportunity for more effective and potentially curative treatment. As a consequence, and in common with initiatives for many other cancers, a search for effective methods of screening is a high priority for the detection of early gynecological cancer. Such methods already exist for cervical cancer, and in many countries screening programs are in place to provide such early diagnosis. Patients with endometrial cancer often present symptomatically at stage I and as a consequence the value of screening of asymptomatic patients may be of lesser importance than for other cancers. Ovarian cancer, however, characteristically presents late and is insidious in onset and progress. Transvaginal ultrasound, together with serum tumor markers, may offer the possibility of early diagnosis and modification of therapy with the potential for improved outcome. However, the evidence from the literature is at present confusing, and it is worthwhile to review the current status of research data to evaluate the place of screening procedures for ovarian and other gynecological malignancies.

Studies of cardiovascular and arterial blood gas changes during carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic sterilization under general anaesthesia versus local anaesthesia.

This study was conducted to evaluate the different change in arterial blood gases and cardiovascular system in 50 healthy females during laparoscopic sterilization procedure performed under general or local anaesthesia. Women who had laparoscopic sterilization under local anaesthesia, showed an increase in respiratory rate by 17% in response to hypercarbia produced by carbon dioxide insufflation. Subjects undergoing laparoscopic sterilization under general anaesthesia showed significant rise in pulse rate by 6% and systolic and diastolic blood pressure by 8% and 14%, respectively. Also arterial blood gas analysis showed increase in PaO2 by 22.7% which was highly significant. However, PaCO2, pH and base were maintained within normal limits as compared to the other group done under local anaesthesia, where no changes were observed.

Trend of blood group distribution among the Jirels of Nepal.

This study was undertaken to find out the trend of blood group distribution among the Jirels, a small tribe, descended from Kirat tribe and to compare with other castes within Nepal and with people of other continents. Blood group distribution (ABO grouping and Rh typing) was studied among 2093 Jirels (Male-1057 and Female-1036). The frequency of distribution of A, B, O and AB was 55.05%, 14.72%, 21.64% and 8.6% respectively. The group A was found to be most common among the Jirels where as O is most common in the world. Only 0.14%of the Jirels were was found to be Rhesus Negative (Rh -ve).
