Histopathological Study of Skin Lesions in a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Skin diseases are much common in developing countries. The spectrum varies according to geographic distribution, gender, age, and coexisting disorder. We conducted this study to find out the prevalence of different skin lesions and to evaluate their frequency and site of distribution. ⋯ Spongiotic dermatitis is a predominating non-neoplastic and overall skin lesion which was similar to the other studies done. Histopathological examination is the gold standard for the proper diagnosis as histomorphological features distinguish various skin lesions.

Critical Incidents during Anesthesia and Early Post-Anesthetic Period: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Critical incidents related to peri-operative anesthesia carry a risk of unwanted patient outcomes. Studying those helps detect problems, which is crucial in minimizing their recurrence. We aimed to identify the frequency of peri-anesthetic critical incidents. ⋯ Critical incidents occur even in low-risk patients during anesthesia delivery. Patient factors and emergency surgery contribute to the most serious incidents.
