Abstract: EST (endometrial stromal tumors) are the second most common pure mesenchymal tumors of the uterus even though they account for less than 10% of all such tumors. Endometrial stromal nodule (ESN) and Low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) falls in the lower end of spectrum and undifferentiated endometrial stromal sarcoma (UES) falls in other malignant end of spectrum. ESN’s are very rare and low grade ESS accounts for only 0.2% of all uterine malignancies. Here we describe a case of Low grade ESS with limited infiltration which has been recently described in literature; purpose of which is to propose to practicing surgeons and gynaecologists that although these tumors behave in benign fashion however, these patients should be carefully followed than the usual low grade ESS as for possible chances of late metastasis.

N/A
Abstract: The objective of present study is to determine the bilateral significant difference between the right and left side femoral head diameters, the correlation between diameters in each side and Osteometrical data in Indian population. The dimensions of the femoral head are important in preparation and selection of prosthesis or implants for femoral head and in the determination of gender. Difference in femoral head size was observed by previous studies. Present study is designed on random sample of 102 femur bones to determine bilateral significant difference between the right and left side femoral head diameters, to determine the correlation between diameters in each side and Osteometrical data in Indian population. The descriptive measures and inferential calculations were done. The student’s t-test and Scatter plot, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and regression analysis were used to assess the objective. Statistical assessment with p-values < 0.05 was considered significant. The mean values (mm) for vertical diameters were 43.63±2.74 (left) and 43.62±2.63 (right). Anteroposterior diameters were 44.02±2.87 (left) and 43.92±2.84 (right).head circumference were 136.99±8.41 (left) and 138.06±8.97 (right). Significant variability was not found (p>0.05) among the bilateral femoral head diameters. Significant strong positive correlation (p<0.05) was observed between the vertical diameter and anteroposterior diameter. Result was compared with available researches. Conclusion: Significant variability in the femoral head diameter was not found. The vertical and anteroposterior diameters of femoral head showed strong positive correlation.

N/A
Abstract: The bi-quadratic equation with 4 unknowns given by x4 +y4+z4=32w4 is analyzed for its patterns of non-zero distinct integral solutions. Six different patterns of integer solutions to the above bi-quadratic equation are presented. A few interesting relations between the solutions and special numbers, namely, polygonal number and pyramidal number are exhibited.

Achebe as A Born-Again Novelist: A Study of His Portrayal of African Woman in Contemporary Political Struggle in Anthills of The Savannah.

Page no 2015, 1(7): 185-188 |
N/A
Abstract: Albert Chinualumogu Achebe was best known for his portrayal of traditional African life as it clashes with white men (colonial masters). He was also known for his neglect of female characters’ role in most of his novels. In this paper, attempt has been made to show his ‘turn back’ from the earlier position of assigning women an inferior status in his novels. This is done in the light of Anthills of the Savannah where the dominant female character, Beatrice, is portrayed as a symbol of the new women – educated, full of potentials and credentials. Hence, Achebe with a new voice and thought. The paper concludes with explanation on the two sets of female characters in Achebe’s novels. The earlier novels reflected women as inferior and weak while in the novel analysed, the female characters represented by Beatrice, are portrayed with full potentials like their male counterparts. This is what makes the novelist a born-again.

N/A
Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder defined by erosive symmetrical poloarthropathy. It affects joints of hand and feet and also affects other organs. There has been a great deal of progress in the management of rheumatoid arthritis.Perioperative management of these patients is challenging.the anaesthesiologist must be aware of recent developments and potential risk of this multisystem disease.
