RESUMO
The goal of the study is to determine whether care for COPD patients is more consistent with guidelines when a Consultant rather than a Family Physician treat the patients. We use the Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease Guidelines as a standard 1. We studied seven parameters, offering Pulmonary Function Test, Smoking cassation guidance, vaccination, use of oral steroid, inhaled steroids, inhaled Impratropium bromide, and symptom documentation. We concluded that both Family Physicians and Consultants are not fully following the guidelines. In compression Consultants are better than Family Physicians

In this study, 250 blood samples submitted for malaria investigation were studied microscopically for malarial parasites and platelet count. All samples were additionally analyzed for platelet count with automated haematology analyzer. Thirty seven [37] samples were found to be malaria positive microscopically. Out of 37 cases with malaria positive microscopically, thrombocytopenia was observed in 24 [64%] cases of malaria. So there is association of thrombocytopenia with malaria

Present study was designed to find the association of secretor status with oral cancers. In this study 50 diagnosed cases of oral cancers and 50 healthy controls were selected. Secretor status on saliva sample was performed in all these subjects. 39 [78%] subjects were secretors and 11 [22%] were non secretors in control group. 28 [56%] patients with oral cancers were secretors and 22 [44%] were non secretors. Oral cancer was found to be associated with non-secretor status
