Abstract

Introduction: Snapping hip syndrome or “coxa saltans,” sometimes called as dancer’s hip, is seen in balletdancers. It is a condition caused by the movement of tendon or a muscle over a bony eminence in the hip inwhich snapping sound is heard or snapping sensation is felt when a person walks, runs, swing leg aroundor get up from a chair. Snapping Hip Syndrome is just associated with the snapping sound and no suchdiscomfort or pain is felt. Patients chief complaints were Low back pain radiating down her right leg andsometimes a click sound heard in her right hip. Experts estimate that 5 to 10 percent of the population hassnapping hips with no symptoms or pain, and no treatment is necessary. On the other half some individualshas irritating pain which requires treatment or surgery. Diagnosis of External Snapping Hip Syndrome wasconfirmed when detail evaluation of patient was done using Special test - SLUMPS and Straight Leg Raise(SLR) test, Faber’s test and Ober’s test and Harris Hip Score was also noted.Conclusion: This case report provides a comprehensive rehabilitation plan that helped relieve pain, spasm,increase strength and range of motion. Physiotherapy intervention includes stretching of the tighten muscleand purposeful strengthening to decrease pain and disability of patient. Physiotherapy treatment is foundto be best to resolve patient’s chief complaints.

Abstract

Biomedical waste is any kind of waste either solid or liquid containing infectious, potentially infectiousmaterials of medical, laboratory or research origin from activities such as diagnosis, prevention & treatmentof diseases. Bio-medical waste has a higher potential of infection and injury to the healthcare worker, patientand the surrounding community. It consists of human anatomical waste, animal waste, microbiology &biotechnology waste, waste sharps, discarded medicines & cytotoxic drugs, soiled waste, liquid waste,incineration ash & chemical wastes. Common generators of biomedical waste include hospitals, clinics,medical & veterinary colleges, blood banks, mortuaries, autopsy centers, biotechnology institutions, researchlaboratories, home health care & funeral homes. Hazardous chemicals & radioactive waste though noninfectious require proper disposal. World Health Organization states that 10% of hospital waste are infectious& 5% are non-infectious but hazardous waste. World Health Organisation has classified medical waste into8 categories which include general, pathological, radioactive, chemical, infectious, sharps, pharmaceuticals& pressurized wastes. In India, Biomedical waste (Management & Handling) Rules 1998 along with furtheramendments regulate biomedical waste management. It consists of 6 schedules which includes Categoryof Biomedical waste, Colour coding & type of container, Label for Biomedical waste containers or bagswhich should be non-washable & prominently visible, Label for transport of Biomedical waste containers orbags, Standard for treatment & disposal, Schedule for waste treatment facilities like Incinerator, Autoclave,Microwave System. Operating Standards like combustion efficiency & Emission Standards are defined.The present review article focused on basic issues as definition, categories, problems relating to biomedicalwaste and procedure of handling and disposal method of Biomedical Waste Management.

Abstract

Background: For the detection of malignancy in the serous fluids of the body, cytological examination ofthe fluid is very important. It is also of prime importance and seems difficult to differentiate the malignantcells from reactive mesothelial cells during fluid cytology. The cell block preparation is a useful and additivediagnostic tool when cellular features in cytology are inconclusive or suspicious. The aim of the study wasto assess the utilization of the cell technique as an additional tool along with the conventional smears thatwe are using in routine practice.Methods: 200 body (effusion) fluids were examined by the conventional cytological smears as well as bythe cell block technique.Conclusion: The diagnostic yield increases when we use the cell block preparation method along with theconventional smears because the architectural patterns and cell morphology are very well preserved in cellblock as compared to the smears.
