The work of anatomists and pathologists in the role of study of prostate has been significant. Starting from earlier times till modern time, the study of prostate has been a dynamic one and the basic anatomical knowledge of the prostate has undergone much change apart from the new techniques, micro invasive procedures and the chemotherapeutic approach for various disorders of the gland. The present study was based on the microscopic examination of Prostatic tissue of individuals with individual tissues of different age groups. The present study involved 40 cases which were further subdivided into various age groups and characteristic histological changes were noted. The study presents an assessment of age changes in prostate in elderly in Kashmiri population with pathological significance. Besides the histological study is of great importance in staging of diseases of prostate and especially in modern era where the incidence and prevalence of prostatic diseases is on rise.

In the modern era, especially in the elderly males, the geriatric age group, people come with complaints of the prostate gland. The frequency of the prostate disorders has been on the increase and disorders such as prostatitis, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Prostatic Cancer have been on the rise. To study the various changes the prostate undergoes during its development as the age passes by is a topic of immense interest and I have made an attempt to study the same. Most of the complaints to a doctor are because of problems in the abdomino pelvic region. It has been found that of all the cases in out patients department 75 percent people complain of symptoms in the region of abdomen and pelvis. Especially in case of males the complaints in the pelvic region are comparable to females. As we have predominantly symptoms related to ovaries and cervix in case of females similarly we have growing concerns problems concerning prostate in males. Being a very important organ of the male genito urinary system and the rapid progress made in the field of Anatomy, Histology, Pathology Surgery, Radiology the finer details about the organs makes our study more interesting and mind absorbing.

Gastrocnemius is one of the most important muscles of lower limb. It belongs to the superficial compartment of calf muscles. They belong to group of superficial flexors. Gastrocnemius, plantaris and soleus form the bulk of the calf. Gastrocnemius forms the belly of the calf. It arises by two distinct heads, connected to the condyles of the femur by strong, flat tendons. It has an immense anatomic, medical, orthopedic and physiological importance and is attributed in a variety of medical and surgical problems. A profound knowledge of this muscle is of great importance to any surgeon or orthopedicians or any clinician. [Int J Res Med Sci 2013; 1(4.000): 326-328
