To evaluate the Outcomes of Fenestration of Lamina Terminalis for Hydrocephalus following Clipping of Ruptured Aneurysms of Anterior Circulation. ⋯ Reducing the likelihood of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus after ruptured aneurysm clipping can be achieved using lamina terminalis fenestration, regardless of fisher grade. It assists in preventing excessive brain retraction, decreasing intracranial pressure, raising brain perfusion, cisternal blood cleansing, and lowering the need for a ventriculoperitoneal shunt in cases of persistent hydrocephalus. Consequently, to reduce the incidence of shunt-dependent hydrocephalus, we recommend routine lamina terminalis fenestration following anterior circulation aneurysm clipping.

To determine the association of serum Vitamin-D levels and placental laminin expression in pre-eclamptic and normotensive women. ⋯ Our results show a strongly positive association between serum Vitamin-D levels, LN expression and severity of histopathological changes between normotensive and pre-eclamptic women.

Although differentiated thyroid cancers have a good prognosis overall, their incidence is on the rise with extremely limited data available in our region. The objective was to describe the outcomes of differentiated thyroid carcinoma in a tertiary care hospital. ⋯ This study highlights the low cure rate while describing the high rate of disease persistence and recurrence. This can be due to delays related to the diagnosis and scarcity of proper treatment. Recognition of this emergent disease is vital so that curative methods prescribed at proper time can diminish the morbidity and mortality linked with this treatable cancer.

This study was conducted to evaluate the procedural success of primary angioplasty in terms of TIMI flow and myocardial blush grade (MBG). ⋯ Primary angioplasty is quite effective procedure for the restoration of blood flow in acute ST elevation myocardial infarction but still it is far away from the ideal one. Although most patients benefit from primary PCI, a significant minority of individuals do not, particularly if they present late. What could be the ideal therapy, the answer is still to be answered.

To report on causes and treatment options of hip arthroplasty in younger population in a single center. ⋯ Non-cemented hip arthroplasty was the commonest treatment method in younger population in this study.
