Background: Carcinoma of prostate is one of the common tumors of old age in men. With digital rectal examination (DRE), prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a major screening tool for prostate cancer. The cutoff value for PSA of 4.0 ng/mL gives the highest sensitivity and highest specificity.

Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is simple, quick, inexpensive and minimally invasive technique used to diagnose different types of swellings located in the head and neck region most commonly originating from cervical lymph node, thyroid, parotid and salivary glands. Aims: To assess the frequency of incidences of different sites, age groups, sex and distribution among inflammatory non neoplastic and neoplastic lesion. Material and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted between Jun 2011 to Jun 2012. Fine needle aspiration diagnosis was correlated with detail of relevant clinical data and investigations. Patients between the ages of 1 to 70 years were included in the study. A total of 450 patients with head and neck mass underwent FNAC. Results: Out of 450 fine needle aspiration procedures, 69% were of lymph node, 20% were thyroid, 06% from salivary gland, 06% from soft tissue and miscellaneous swellings. Conclusions: It is concluded that head and neck swellings are very common conditions in clinical practice. Our study found that FNAC is simple, quick, low cost and minimally invasive technique to diagnose different types of head and neck swellings. It could differentiate the infective process from neoplastic one and avoids unnecessary surgical intervention.

Introduction:The Glenoid cavity is regarded as the head of the scapula. The morphology of glenoid cavity is highly variable. It articulates with the head of the humerus at the glenohumeral joint. Shape and dimensions of the glenoid cavity are important in the design and fitting of glenoid components for total shoulder arthroplasty. An understanding of variations in normal anatomy of the glenoid is essential while evaluating pathological conditions like osseous bankart lesions and osteochondral defects. The aim of the present study was to obtain the anthropometric data of the glenoid cavity of the scapula and to study the various shapes of the glenoid cavity which will help in management of shoulder pathology.

Objectives: To evaluate risk factors in myocardial infarction like age, sex, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, positive family history, high level of cholesterol, stress and poor physical activity.

Methods: This is a retrospective study on 163 myocardial infarction cases, conducted in the cardiology ward and CCU at a General Public Hospital, Baroda. A number of risk factors identified and evaluated in these patients included: hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, physical activity, stress, age, and sex.  

Results: The majority of our patients were old men in the age range of 60 - 69 years. Amongst all patients 36.7% were smokers, 61.3% were type A personality group, 18.5% were active, 81.5% were physically inactive, 28.9% had hypertension, 23.3% were diabetic, 17.5% had hyperlipidemia and 33.2% had positive family history of myocardial infarction.

Conclusions: In regard of increasing rate of cardiovascular diseases and myocardial infarction even amongst the young population, and because of considerable need to improve vascular risk detection, much research over the past decade has focused on identification of novel atherosclerotic risk factors, and some of these new risk factors are identified and some may be unknown. Amongst the new risk factors, inflammation has an important role, other risk factors that must be assessed are homocysteine, serum amyloid. So we recommend that governments and heart associations must introduce new plans and policies in order to tackle the problem and reduce the frequency of cardiovascular disease. This requires the understanding of the conventional or classic risk factors and also the less known and new risk factors and ways which they may be prevented. 

The femur is the largest and strongest bone in the body and the structure of its proximal portion allows the leg to move in three dimensions relative to the torso, thus serving as a linchpin of human mobility. Moreover, age related and pediatric disorders at this skeletal site are common and confer strong risk factors for current and future disability. The femur forms the skeleton of the thigh, carries body weight, supports the movements of leg and provides attachment to the muscles. Morphology of bones is very much affected by race, sex, environmental factors and life style. Materials and Methods: For this study total 285 Femurs of various bodies in central Gujarat were collected randomly and unknown age & sex. 285 Femurs were studied in department of Anatomy, Sri B.K.Shah Medical institute & Research Centre. The following measurements were measured Neck shaft angle, Femoral Length and Neck Length of femur. Results and Conlusion: Total mean length of femur was 435.8 ± 27.32 (Mean ± SD) mm. Right side mean length of femur was 436.2 ± 27.91 (Mean ± SD) mm. Left side mean length of femur was 433.8 ± 26.14 (Mean ± SD) mm. Maximum length of femur was 446 mm and minimum length was 423 mm.
