Caffeine (1, 3, 7-Trimethylxanthine) is a habitual substance present in a wide variety of beverages and in choclate based foods. It is also used as adjuvants in some drugs. There have been numerous reports that caffeine is an ergogenic aid, ingestion of the drug has been shown to increase endurance, particularly in prolonged exercise lasting 30 -120 minutes. The present study was undertaken to study the effects of caffeine in coffee on endurance exercise in young healthy adult males. Twenty young males participated in this single blind study.

Background: In acute appendicitis, abdominal computerized tomography (abdominal CT) has increased diagnostic certainty. The clinical criteria of Alvarado show some utility in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Objective: To determine the correlation between the Alvarado Clinical Scale and the radiological finding by abdominal CT in relation to the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in patients with acute abdominal pain. Material and methods: We included 62 patients with suspected acute appendicitis treated in the emergency room.

Antenatal care (ANC) is the care of a woman throughout her pregnancy. Almost 90% of maternal deaths occur in developing countries and over half a million women die each year due to pregnancy and childbirth related causes. Many women in developing countries do not receive such care. The reasons for high MMR in India are inadequate access and underutilization of health services. Other common reasons are high illiteracy among females, early marriages, ignorance, malnutrition, social factors etc. So utilization of these services by the beneficiaries remain unsatisfactory.

Introduction: Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) were caused by various common bacteria, fungi and viruses during medical treatments, thus becoming the significant causes of morbidity and mortality. The lack of data about HAIs in Indonesia hospitals indicates a poor implementation of patients’ safety. Methodology: This is a descriptive quantitative research which employssurveillance approach.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the distribution and topographic frequency of thoracic extremity fractures and its association with bone cortex thickness, mechanism of injury, age and gender. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was performed in patients older than 18 years old treated at the Traumatology and Orthopedics Service of the Hospital General Naval de Alta Especialidad with diagnosis of fracture of the thoracic limb. RESULTS: 99 patients with a diagnosis of upper limb fracture were studied. 54.4% of the cases were female.

An ectopic pregnancy is one in which the fertilized ovum is implanted and develops outside endometrial cavity. It is a life threatening emergency. It complicates 0.25-2.0% of all pregnancies world wide.Aim of this study is to determine incidence, clinical presentation, risk factors, diagnosis and management in tertiary care hospital. Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted over the period of December 2015 to November 2016 for 1 year. Total 51 cases were found. Data was collected, tabulated and analyzed.

For many decades, the epidemiological finding of females who have cervical cancer was identified as being suggestive of a sexually transmitted process and many biological agents were proposed as being responsible.

This situation can decrease the quality of life, increase the families or caregivers’ burdens, and provide less guarantee towards the dignity of the death. Therefore, the provision of qualified palliative care and end of life care are very important.

Obturation is the most important step in the triad of endodontics. Carefully and properly achieved obturation will lead to the formation of “fluid tight seal” which is essential for the success of the endodontic treatment. Over the past decade, the science & practice of root canal therapy has changed dramatically on evidence based protocols to develop highly advanced obturation materials and techniques. Gutta percha with sealer is the most versatile obturating material. But it has very big disadvantage that it does not bond to the root canal dentin.

Introduction: The use of hrct has an established role in the detection and in the differential diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases (ilds). In selected cases, a specific hrct pattern suffices for the presumptive diagnosis, even in the absence of histological confirmation. The major abnormality in ilds is disruption of the lung parenchyma. Objectives: To Determine Frequencies Of Different Radiological Patterns Of Interstitial Lung Diseases On Hrct. Study design: Cross-Sectional Survey. Setting: Department Of Diagnostic Radiology, King Edward Medical University/Mayo Hospital, Lahore.
