ABSTRACT
Background: A retrospective and prospective study was conducted; patients were either operated, were advised neo adjuvant treatment or had metastasis and were inoperable. Method: Data was analyzed for clinicodemographic information, presenting symptoms & signs. Patients were staged on the basis of Imaging and operative findings. Patients not subjected to surgery were staged with CECT scan & endo-ultrasound. Results: Maximum number of patients (3753) belonged to age group of 61-70 years. Only five patients presented with Ca stomach between ages of 21-30 years. Heart burn was the commonest symptom present in 9800 (94%) followed by epigastric pain present in 8860 (85%), loss of appetite present in 7298 (70%), 66% patients presented with weight loss, malena in 3127 (30%) and haematemesis in 1563 (15%), pallor presented with (88%) followed by mass epigastrium (35%).10425 (100%) patients who take dried foods ...............

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Head and neck area comprises very important and delicate structures and lesions involving these areas may be life threatening necessitating early and accurate diagnosis. We aimed to analyse cytological utility of FNAC from palpable lesions from these areas and to obtain frequency of distribution and subcategorization of the organ specific lesions. Method: This was a prospective study conducted during June 2015 to May 2017. FNAC was performed, air –dried and alcohol fixed smears prepared, stained with Giemsa and other special stains as required and analysed.Result: 1139 FNACs were performed with 21 – 40 years age group predilection and Female predominance (1.79:1). Most affected organ was Right sided cervical lymph nodes followed by thyroid gland and salivary glands. Most.............

ABSTRACT
Periodontal disease (PD) or periodontal disease is a multifactorial disease with infectious etiology and inflammatory manifestation leading to the destruction of tooth support tissues. This is a patient, 25 years old on the day of the consultation, single, homemaker resident in the district of Bamako. She had come for consultation in the Odontology Department of the Military Hospital in Bamako. The results of the clinical examinations led to the diagnosis of severe generalized aggressive periodontitis. In agreement with the patient, teeth with a mobility greater than 3 were extracted for a prosthetic restoration. Function and aesthetics can be restored by good parodontoprosthetic coordination.

ABSTRACT
Background: Nomophobia literally means no mobile phobia that is the fear of being out of mobile phone contact. The use of mobile phones has now increased worldwide during the last decade. Hence this study was carried out to evaluate mobile phone dependence among the study subjects. Methodology: The present study is a cross-sectional study conducted amongst 246 M.B.B.S. students from Govt. Medical College. A pre-designed and pre-tested questionnaire was used to study mobile phone dependence among the study subjects. The individual responses were noted and the data was analysed using statistical software. Results: The study population comprised of 138(56.1%) males and 108 (43.9%) females. Majority of students were of age group 19-22 years. Overall 21.95% were found to be nomophobes, among them 14.6% were males and 7.3% were females. All students were having mobile phones, 75.6% had installed games. 42.68% get stressed/ anxious when their mobile run out of battery and 41.5% keep mobile switched off or silent when they go to sleep. 40.24% students would keep mobile phone on table in front of them when out for dinner and 35.4% use mobile while having food. 36.6% get anxious if they won’t get an instant response to an SMS and 20.73 % always keep seeing mobile/waiting for a message or call to come.12.2% students answered that the thought of turning off their mobile would send them in shiver. While attending classes 12.2 % of students don’t switch off/ keep in silent mode and 10.97% receive call. Conclusion: The results of the study are suggestive of mobile phone dependence and most of the study subjects knew that mobile use could be an addiction. As nomophobia is an emerging problem, more studies are required to assess the real problem and to take the appropriate steps. The nomophobic students were convinced on the harmful effects of using mobile phones.

ABSTRACT
Background: Patient satisfaction surveys are essential in obtaining a comprehensive understanding of the patient’s need and their opinion of the service received. It is a vital tool in evaluating the quality of healthcare delivery service in hospital. Objective: The objective is to assess patients’ satisfaction with nursing care in a tertiary hospital in Dhaka. Methods: A descriptive-correlation study design was conducted in 2018. Convenience sampling technique was employed and 100 respondents were statistically calculated. Data was collected using face-to-face interview with a prestructured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 23. Results: The study result revealed that average age was 44.57 years with a range from 18 to 65 years; 60% were female, 100% patients were married. 37% of the patients cannot read and write, and 70% of the patients had over 7 days length of hospital stay. Among the demographic characteristics, age(r =.27, p=.006), gender (t = 3.90, p = .000), and unit of hospital (F = 36.30, p = .000) were statistically different in patients satisfaction with nursing care. Conclusion: Nurses should focus on younger patients. Female, older, and admitted to medical unit showed significantly higher satisfaction. Nurses and hospital administrators need to be more aware of patient's views and must improve themselves with relevant programs to provide quality of patient care.

ABSTRACT
Background: The aim of this study was to find out the relationship between occupational characteristics of patients and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) stages of cervical disc hernia. Methods: The medical files of patients who applied with cervical disc degeneration were collected. Age in years, gender, comorbid diseases, occupation, years spent in occupation and degree of degeneration in cervical MRI were gathered from patients’ medical files. Patients were divided into groups according to their occupations which were housewives, construction workers, teachers, and healthcare professionals. Based on the working years, patients were divided into four groups as follows: 0-5 years, 5-10 years, 10-15 years, and over 15 years. The degree of cervical disc degeneration on MRI was staged as bulging (group 1), protrusion (group 2), extrusion and sequestration (group 3). Results: A total of 500 patients with various cervical disc hernia participated in the study. Bulging and protrusion were seen frequently over 45 years of age, followed by extrusion & sequestration in 35-45 years of age (p=0.001). Bulging and extrusion & sequestration were statistically significantly higher in construction workers than other occupational groups, whereas protrusion were most frequently observed in healthcare workers (p<0.001). Any extrusion & sequestration case was not observed in least experienced workers (p<0.001). Conclusion: MRI cervical disc hernia grades differed significantly between occupational groups and exhibited an increase in the radiological degree of cervical disc degeneration with a correlation between years spent at work up to 10 years.

ABSTRACT
Dementia is a chronic disease that causes care dependency in daily life activities of individuals as a result of impaired cognitive functions and loss of existing cognitive abilities such as memory, speech, and attention. The progression of the disease and the dependence on the support enhance the care needs of patients supplied by caregivers. Caregivers of patients with dementia are suffering from psychological, physical, financial problems and social isolation. This increases the care burden and makes caregiver a secondary unseen patient.In the literature, it can be observed that many factors,especially the severity of disease, dependency level, gender of caregiver, age, education status, affect the care burden. Making initiatives for the factors that cause the burden on caregivers of dementia patients has an important role in reducing the burden of care. For this reason, caregivers should be supported in physical, psychological, financial and social areas, and the poor physical and psychological conditions which they experience due to care should be corrected and the care costs of the individuals should be reduced to the lowest levels. In this review, we aimed to examine the care burden experienced by relatives of patients with dementia.
