ABSTRACT
Background: Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a pathologicalcondition which occurs when the intestinal contents areprevented from moving along the length of the intestine. Thepresent study was conducted to assess the cases of smallbowel obstruction following appendectomy.Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on42 cases of appendicitis of both genders. In all patients,laparoscopic appendectomy was planned. Patients wererecalled to note any kind of complication arising from theprocedure.Results: Out of 42 patients, males were 26 and females were16. Age group 20-30 years had 5 males and 3 females, 30-40years had 9 males and 5 females and 40-50 years had 12males and 8 females. The difference was significant (P< 0.05).Macroscopic feature of appendix during procedure wasphlegmonous in 12 and gangrenous in 30 cases. Thedifference was significant (P< 0.05).Conclusion: Small bowel obstruction is a complication whichmay be seen in few cases of appendectomy.
ABSTRACT
Background: The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is ahyperandrogenic disorder associated with chronic oligoanovulation and polycystic ovarian morphology. Themechanisms of potential disturbances of the hemostaticsystem in women with PCOS are unknown. Hence; presentstudy was planned to evaluate the coagulation disturbances inPCOS patients.Materials & Methods: The present study was planned toanalyse various coagulation disturbances in PCOS patients. Atotal of 20 patients (study group) and 20 healthy controls wereincluded in the present study. Blood samples were withdrawnfrom all the subjects and complete haematological profile wasobtained.Results: Mean fibrinogen profile of the subjects of the PCOSgroup and the control group were 3.65 and 2.61 g/lrespectively. Mean value of factor VIII of the subjects of thePCOS group and the control group were 1.25 and 0.98 IU/molrespectively. Significant results were obtained while comparingthe mean fibrinogen profile among the two study groups.Conclusion: Coagulation profile shows significant alterationsin patients with PCOS.
