ABSTRACT

A cross-sectional study was undertaken to find out co-prevalence of various infectious markers like Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B virus (HBV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and Syphilis infection amongst a cohort of injecting drug users (IDUs) in the city of Delhi. A total of 246 IDUs were enrolled during the 3 months period of the study. The results revealed a high prevalence of the viral markers studied i.e., HBV-39.59%, HCV-36.45%, HIV-36.99% and Syphilis-6.09%. A single marker infection was detected amongst 9.14% for HBV, 8.37% for HCV, 4.87% for HIV and 0.83% for Syphilis in samples tested for multiple markers. All the four markers could be detected in 1.76%. Amongst 11.16% and 27.9% of these samples, three and two markers respectively could be detected. The study revealed the problem of IV drug use and high prevalence of infectious markers including HIV in certain populations of Delhi and emphasizes the need for relevant interventions in these localised pockets.

ABSTRACT

Freyer prostatectomy is infrequently indicated today. One of the blind steps in this procedure is when the urethra is disconnected at the prostatic apex. There is risk of stress urinary incontinence and damage to the sphincter. We describe a safe and a simple endoscopic technique to overcome this difficulty.

ABSTRACT

We present a simple technique to reposition an open-ended ureteric catheter in the pelvicalyceal system during percutaneous nephrolithotomy. A through-and-through glidewire is straightened using a stone-grasping forceps. The open-ended catheter is advanced in the pelvicalyceal system over this taut glidewire.
