RESUMO
To determine the prevalence of hepatitis C virus in healthy blood donors. A prospective descriptive study. This study was conducted in the Pathology Department Combined Military Hospital, Multan within 3 years from 01-07-2007 to 30-06-2010, A total of 18042 blood donors ranging from 18-55 years of age were screened for hepatitis C virus antibodies by ELISA method. Hepatitis C virus antibodies were positive in 602 [3.3%] Seroprevalence of hepatitis C is high even in healthy young blood donors

There is no treatment available once get infected with hepatitis B virus. Transfusion of blood contaminated with HBV is one of the major risk factors for increasing its Seroprevalence. To determine the prevalence of Hepatitis B virus in healthy blood donors. A prospective descriptive study. This study was conducted in department of pathology Combined Military Hospital Multan during a period of three years from 01.07.2007 to 30.06.2010. A total number of 18042 blood donors in between 18-55 years of age were screened for transfusion related carriers of infectious diseases including hepatitis B virus by ELIZA technique. Hepatitis B virus suface antigen was detected in 561 [3.1%] Seroprevalence of hepatitis B is high even in healthy and young blood donors. Therefore every donor should be screened for it

Silicone band was used to form a double rhomboids. Twenty five cases of ptosis were operated upon, 15 [60%] cases were male and 10 [40%] were female. Male to female ratio was 1.5:1. Most of the cases [85%] were having ages between 8 to 25 years. Amount of ptosis varied from 3 mm to 6 mm. in all the cases, levator function was poor and bell's phenomenon was intact. 75% of the cases had good results i.e. within 2 mm of normal, 15% had fair results i.e. within 1.5 mm of normal and 105 were 01 mm under corrected but there was much cosmetic improvement. The method proved to be very simple and effective, material used was not expensive. Complication rate was low. No recurrence has been noted after 2 years follow up
