Signature verification is one of the most widely used biometrics for authentication. The objective of the signature verification system is to discriminate between two classes: the original and the forgery, which are related to intrapersonal and interpersonal variability. Firstly, there exists great variation even between two signatures of the same person. They never start from the same position and neither do they terminate at the same position. Also, the angle of inclination of the signatures, the relative spacing between letters of the signatures, height of letters, all vary even for the same person. Hence it becomes a challenging task to compare between two signatures of the same person. The proposed an offline signature verification system to take care of that, which is based on depth for segmentation of signature image into different parts, after that geometric center of the each segment is find out as the feature point of that segment. The number of feature points extracted from signature image is equivalent to the number segment of the signature image that is produce by specifying value of depth. The classification of the feature points utilizes two statistical parameters like mean and variance. Our proposed model has three stages: image preprocessing, feature point's extraction and classification & verification. The user introduces into the computer through scanned signature images, our technique modifies their quality by image enhancement and noise reduction techniques, to be followed by feature extraction and finally used Euclidean distance model to classification of signature either genuine or forgery. The proposed offline signature verification system used "GPDS360 signature database". General TermsEuclidean distance model, signature verification and recognition,
Background: Urinary problems are common in female population of India which adversely affect their quality of life. Urinary problems add to chronic suffering of Indian females. The objective of this study was to find psychosocial correlation of common urinary problems in Indian females. Methods: This is an epidemiological study which includes all adult female patients coming to surgery and
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a ubiquitous, highly fatal contagious chronic granulomatous bacterial infection. It is mainly an infection of the lungs but can affect almost any part of the body. Although TB is a preventable and treatable disease, yet it still poses a significant threat globally. In 2012, an estimated 8.6 million people developed TB and 1.3 million died from the disease. Modern tuberculosis treatment relies on chemotherapy, surgery is accepted as adjuvant treatment for MDR TB. Methodology: This study include total of 40 diagnosed cases of MDR or XDR pulmonary tuberculosis with it's complications. Known cases of pulmonary tuberculosis with multidrug resistance and Extensive drug resistance with complications in Department of surgery, M.G.M medical college and M.Y Hospital, Indore. Result: The mean age of presentation was 38.82 ± SD years, Thoracotomy with Decortication was the most commonly performed procedure in (72.5% patients), Lobectomy in 20%patients, Pneumonectomy in 5% patients and Segmentectomy3% patients. Postoperative complication occurred in 10 patients (25%), 2 deaths occured in this study within 3rd postoperative day. Overall mortality was 5%, Out of 40 Patients complete cure was obtained in 85% of the treated patients, All patients had adjuvant chemotherapy post operatively for mean duration of 15.58 months with follow up for 12 to 18 months. Conclusion:The resectional surgery has a distinct role in the management of MDR/XDR tuberculosis. The proper selection of the patients and early decision for surgical intervention can achieve a high success rate of drug resistant pulmonary tuberculosis with well localised pulmonary lesion.
AIMS: 1. To study the incidence of various intra-abdominal and extra-abdominal injuries in blunt abdominal trauma in tertiary health care center in five year . 2. To study the relationship between mode of injury, severity of injury and clinical presentation and its outcome, mortality and morbidity. 3. To study modalities for evaluating the abdomen after blunt abdominal trauma. 4. To evaluate the major indication for operation in each cases. 5. To study of outcome, mortality and morbidity. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: This study carried out in the Department of Surgery, MGM Medical College, M.Y. Hospital Indore and Trauma Department, M.Y. Hospital Indore both retrospectively and prospectively in patients with Blunt abdominal trauma over the period of from 2009 to 2014 with co-operation of the staff of Medicolegal section, Central record room and residents looking after the admitted patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: On admission to hospital patient's name, age, sex, address, registration number and date and time of admission, length of delay in treatment taken noted and mode of trauma also noted. Patient's presenting complaint, detail history and time of trauma noted. RESULTS: During this study total 250 admission were included 170 (Prospective) and 80 (Retrospective). There were over all 201 males (80.4%) and 49 female (19.6%). Mortality was maximum due to RTA 64.52%. Highest number of cases (65) in the third decade i.e. 26%. Among these injuries hemoperitoneum was found in 94 cases i.e.37.6%. Small intestine (ileal>jejunal) injury 45 cases i.e., 18% was most common hollow viscous injury. In solid organ injury there was maximum incidence of liver injury 34 cases. i.e., 13.6%. CONCLUSION: This study concludes that young males are more prone to trauma and maximum blunt trauma is associated with RTA. Almost half of patients required laparotomy and found injury to liver and small intestine in max cases. Overall incidence and mortality can be reduced by improving the social morale of people especially the younger generation by providing good education, employment, preventing alcohol abuse, proper law enforcement and some form of penalty regarding proper vehicle driving, good transportation, adequate resuscitation, modernized trauma center and coordination with emergency response team.
Background: Anal fissure is one of the most common benign anorectal condition that is caused by an ulcer or breach in the anoderm of the anal canal. It causes very severe pain and discomfort and directly affects the quality of life. From the past, various surgical treatment modalities have been practised to bring complete cure and relief but have always been associated with secondary complications. The aim of the study was to compare efficacy of outcome of lateral internal sphincterotomy and subcutaneous fissurectomy with topical 2% diltiazem gel in the treatment of chronic fissure in ano.Methods: 60 patients who were diagnosed with chronic anal fissure between 2019-2021 at MGM Medical College were undertaken in this study. Patients were selected randomly on alternate basis. Group A patients were subjected to subcutaneous fissurectomy under local anaesthesia with post-operative application of 2% diltiazem gel. Group B patients were subjected to LIS. Surgical wound infection, absenteeism from work, symptomatic relief were assessed and compared between the groups.Results: There was no significant difference among both the study population in terms of age and gender. There was a statistically significant association between post-operative wound infection (p=0.011), number of work days lost (p=0.008) and satisfaction level (p=0.020).Conclusions: LIS is still a better surgical choice for treating chronic anal fissures than subcutaneous fissurectomy with 2% diltazem gel, due to less complications, faster pain alleviation, and fewer missed work days.
