RESUMO
Background: The basic principle of inventory control is Always Better Control (ABC) based on cost criteria and Vital Essential Desirable (VED) on criticality. Inequity in drug prioritization and expenses directly affects the health of the community. Study design: Based on ABC-VED matrix, inventory analysis was done. Study area: Community health centre (CHC) - Singarva, two primary health centres (PHC) - Kanbha and Sanathal and two urban health centre (UHC) - Amraiwadi and Sabarmati. Study period: December 2012 to December 2013. Methods: The drugs were first categorized by ABC method and then by VED method. On coupling the two techniques, ABC-VED matrix was made and drugs were classified in to Category I (AV + BV +CV + AE + AD), Category II (BE + CE + BD) and Category III (CD). Results: According to VED analysis large amount of money was spent on D category that is; 35% of annual drug expenditure (ADE) from CHC, 7.6% and 23.4% from both the PHC respectively, 20.1% and 24.7% from both the UHCs. On considering the ABC-VED matrix analysis the ADE spent on Class III was 6.6% among CHC, 1.2% and 1.5% among PHC, 2.6% and 7.2% among the UHC. Conclusion: The ADE used among the ABC-VED Class III should be avoided and the ADE on Class II drugs should be controlled and used judiciously.
RESUMO
While relatively common in the skeletal system, cartilaginous tumors are rarely seen originating from the orbit. Here, we report a rare case of an orbital chondroma. A 27‑year‑old male patient presented with a painless hard mass in the superonasal quadrant (SNQ) of left orbit since 3 months. On examination, best‑corrected visual acuity of both eyes was 20/20, with normal anterior and posterior segment with full movements of eyeballs and normal intraocular pressure. Computerized tomography scan revealed well defined soft tissue density lesion in SNQ of left orbit. Patient was operated for anteromedial orbitotomy under general anesthesia. Mass was excised intact and sent for histopathological examination (HPE). HPE report showed lobular aggregates of benign cartilaginous cells with mild atypia suggesting of benign cartilaginous tumor ‑ chondroma. Very few cases of orbital chondroma have been reported in literature so far.
RESUMO
The capacity of stem cells of peritonium of mesodermal origin to undergo metaplastic transformation and form different tissues developed from mesoderm germ layer is exploited with ulterior motive to use it in the management of human diseases. The excised fallopian tube was replaced with a tube on a stent constructed from autogenous peritoneum from a suitable donor site. The effect of the surroundings environment of the new tissue system to which the peritoneum stem cells are now exposed was studied for 3, 6 and 12 months period in live animal models. The gross and histological studies revealed development of all the component of the wall of the fallopian tube. The lumen of the constructed peritoneal tube was well preserved in its whole length including the anastomotic sites. The scientific rationale of the working hypothesis on which the work is based, is discussed.
