ABSTRACT
Diagnosing the type and sub-type of Leukemia is very important as the therapy, prognosis and survival rate changes with each type and sub-type. In the present study French American British (FAB) morphological classification is used and 60 % cases of Leukemia were evaluated by studying the detailed clinical features, morphology on peripheral blood smear and bone marrow aspiration. Out of the 60 cases we found that 40 cases were of acute Leukemia and 20 cases of chronic Leukemia. Out of which 24 were of acute Myeloid Leukemia, 16 of acute Lymphoid Leukemia. There were 15 cases of CML and 5 cases of CLL. Phi bodies appear to be characteristics of immature Myeloid cells in Leukemia and are seen with a higher frequency than Auer rods in acute Myeloid Leukemia
ABSTRACT
Background: A safe workplace is women’s legal right. Sexual harassment at the workplace is a violation of human rights. “Sexual harassment of women at workplace act” was passed in 2013. Objectives: The objective of the study was to assess awareness regarding “sexual harassment of women at workplace act” among non-teaching female staff in a tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in tertiary care hospital. A total of 60 non-teaching staff members were included in the study. Data were collected using pre-designed questionnaire. Results: About 87% of participants were aware of year of implementation of the act and occupations protected under the act. About 73% were aware regarding objectives of the act. Half of the participants were aware of the number of employees needed to form Internal Complaint Committee. Awareness was found to be poor regarding time limit to give a complaint and to conduct inquiry. All were aware regarding existence of sexual harassment committee in the institute. Conclusion: Educational sessions should be conducted to improve awareness regarding the act.
ABSTRACT
Hydatidosis is a parasitic infestation caused by larval form of the tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus. Primary hydatid cyst in the skeletal muscles and subcutaneous tissue of thigh without involving thoracic and abdominal organs is an exceptional entity, even in countries where the Echinococcus infestation is endemic. We report an unusual case of primary hydatid cyst of thigh in proximity to skeletal muscles. This case illustrates that echinococcal disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of every subcutaneous cystic mass. This case is presented here for its rarity.
ABSTRACT
Mucosal malignant melanoma (MMM) of the nose is extremely rare. We report a case of MMM of the nasal cavity in a 60-year-old male patient presenting with a polypoidal mass in the right nasal cavity. It was increasing gradually and obstructing breathing. A biopsy of the lesion was done with a clinical suspicion of inverted papilloma/carcinoma. Microscopy revealed features suggestive of malignant melanoma with minimal melanin pigmentation. Subsequently wide local excision was done. Diagnosis of malignant melanoma was facilitated by histochemistry and immunohistochemistry.
