Value of Transverse Section Scalp Biopsy in Alopecia Areata - a Clinicopathological Correlation Khalid Jameel1, Amer Ejaz1, Majid Sohail2 and Simeen Ber Rahman3
ORIGINAL ARTICLE Value of Transverse Section Scalp Biopsy in Alopecia Areata - A Clinicopathological Correlation Khalid Jameel1, Amer Ejaz1, Majid Sohail2 and Simeen Ber Rahman3 ABSTRACT Objective: To correlate the histopathological features of alopecia areata with clinical stage by means of transverse sectioned scalp biopsy specimens, in terms of extent and duration of disease. Study Design: Cross-sectional. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Dermatology, Combined Military Hospital, Kharian Cantonment, Pakistan, from January 2002 to December 2004. Patients and Methods: Fifty consecutive patients with alopecia areata were included in the study. Four millimeter punch biopsy was taken and representative horizontal sections from lower and upper dermis were examined. Patients were divided according to disease extent i.e. Group I (<25% of scalp surface area), Group II (25 - 75% of scalp surface area) and Group III (>75% of scalp surface area including alopecia totalis and universalis). Patients were also analyzed according to the disease duration, i.e. 0-6 months, > 6-12 months, > 1-5 years and > 5 years. Follicular unit counts and density / mm2, terminal to vellus hair ratio, anagen to telogen ratio, cellular infiltrate and fibrosis were measured to assess the diagnosis and prognosis of disease. Chi-square test was used to assess statistical significance. Results: Diagnosis of alopecia areata could be made in 82% of biopsies. Follicular unit counts and density per mm2 decreased with the disease duration (p=0.01). Catagen and telogen hair follicle counts increased with disease duration (p=0.0001). Cellular infiltrate decreased and fibrosis increased with the duration of disease (p=0.0001). -

APPLICATIONS and COMPLICATIONS of POLYURETHANE STENTING in UROLOGY Arshad M, Shahzad S.Shah, Muhammad H
J Ayub Med Coll Abbottabad 2006;18(2) APPLICATIONS AND COMPLICATIONS OF POLYURETHANE STENTING IN UROLOGY Arshad M, Shahzad S.Shah, Muhammad H. Abbasi Department of Surgery, Combined Military Hospital, Kharian Background: As surgeons working in a developing country, we decided to review our experience with polyurethane stents instead of the more expensive ones on common urological procedures and analyzing our experience with respect to their usefulness versus their problems and outcome. Methods: This stusy was carried out at Armed Forces Institute of Urology, Rawalpindi and Combined Military Hospital, Kharian Cantonment, Pakistan through March 2002 through May 2004. During this period 342 of patients were operated requiring stent and 220 patients out of these had polyurethane as stent material for different urological operations. Results: Among the 220 patients who underwent polyurethane stenting, early complications included fever, infection, voiding symptoms while stent migration, encrustation and stent stiffness was encountered as later complications. Conclusion: The benefits of Polyurethane stents are its strength, versatility and low cost. Poor biodurability and biocompatibility only limit its use; these are reasonably effective in our setup but should only be used for short duration. Key words: Urology Stents, Polyurethane, Complications. INTRODUCTION Institute of Urology, Rawalpindi and the Combined Military Hospital, Kharian from March 2002 through Stents and catheters are commonly used in Urology May 2004. for a wide range of indications ranging from Information regarding patient demographics, Urolithiasis to reconstruction, trauma and stent type, duration of placement and any transplantation.

Frequencies and Patterns of Arrythmias in Anterior And
Frequency and Pattern of Arrythmias Pak Armed Forces Med J 2009; 59(4):450-4 FREQUENCIES AND PATTERNS OF ARRYTHMIAS IN ANTERIOR AND INFERIOR MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION Muhammad Bilal Siddique, Imran Fazal, Amer Ejaz, Zaheer Iqbal Awan* CMH Kharian, *CMH Multan ABSTRACT Objectives: The objective of this study was to identify the frequency and clinical patterns of arrhythmias in anterior and inferior myocardial infarction (MI). Study design: A descriptive study Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at critical care unit of Combined Military Hospital Kharian cantonment from January 2006 to December 2006. Patients and Methods: Hundred patients were included in the study that fulfilled the required criteria. They underwent detailed history taking and systemic examination. Patients were monitored through cardiac monitors and serial ECG recordings were taken especially if any rhythm disturbances were observed or if the patient suffered any symptom, till the time of discharge from the hospital. The relevant information was entered into a specially designed pro forma. All the data collected through the pro forma was analyzed through SPSS version 11 in terms of frequency, percentages and proportions. Results: Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) were the most common rhythm disturbance followed by ventricular tachycardia (VT). Both were more common in anterior myocardial infarction (MI) than inferior MI. Bradyarrhythmias were more common with inferior MI. PVCs usually manifested with chest pain, VT was accompanied by palpitations and dyspnoea. Atrioventricular (AV) blocks clinically presented as syncope. Conclusion: PVCs are the most common rhythm disturbance after anterior and inferior MI. VT and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are frequent in anterior while bradyarrhythmias are common with inferior MI.
