Knowledge of Internal Quality Control for Laboratory Tests among Laboratory Personnel Working in Department of Biochemistry in a Tertiary Care Center: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Clinical laboratory holds a central position in patient care, thus, ensuring accurate laboratory test results is a necessity. Internal quality control ensures day-to-day laboratory consistency. However, unless practised, laboratory quality systems cannot be achieved. This depends on the efforts and commitment of laboratory personnel for its implementation. Hence, the aim of this study was to find out the knowledge of internal quality control for laboratory tests among laboratory personnel working in the Department of Biochemistry in a tertiary care centre. ⋯ biochemistry; knowledge; laboratory personnel; quality control.

Ruptured Corpus Luteum among Women Undergoing Laparotomy for Hemoperitoneum in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Rupture of the corpus luteum, though generally self-limiting in women with normal coagulation, could lead to life-threatening bleeding in patients with prosthetic valves on anticoagulant therapy and described in only a few case reports in the literature. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of ruptured corpus luteum among women undergoing laparotomy for hemoperitoneum in a tertiary care centre. ⋯ anticoagulant; corpus luteum; hemoperitoneum.
