Restrictive procedures at Medawachchiya and checkpoints on the A14 road, including Uyilankulam, Kaddaiyadampan and Thiruketheeswaram, continue to delay supply of essential items and are resulting in price increases and fuel and construction material shortages. • Military operations continue in Manthai West division with intense daily confrontations between SLA and LTTE occurring north of the FDL.

Where information has been derived from other sources I confirm that this has been indicated the thesis. ABSTRACT Following twenty-five years of civil war between the Sri Lankan government troops and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a ceasefire was called in February 2002. This truce is now on the point of collapse, due to a break down in talks over the post-war administration of the northern and eastern provinces. These instabilities have lead to conflicts within the insurgent ranks as well as political and religious factions in the south. This thesis centres on how the anguish of war and its unresolved aftermath is being communicated among Tamils living in the northern reaches of Sri Lanka.

Anyone wishing to use this information may only cite the primary source material contained herein. Questions 1. Please provide an update of the security situation in the East of Sri Lanka, particularly Trincomalee. 2. Is there a large military presence in Trincomalee? Are there reports of human rights abuses by the military in the east? 3.

Are they still a threat to Tamils who are suspected of having LTTE links? 4. Is there any evidence of a town called Kiliveddy Muthur Trincomalee? Prior to the Sri Lankan government claiming victory over the LTTE, was Kiliveddy controlled by the LTTE or the government? RESPONSE 1.

  • PTC Course Report, Jaffna, Jan 2004
    Primary Trauma Care Course, Jaffna, Sri Lanka January 20 th ­22 nd 2004 Purpose of the visit To visit Jaffna in Northern Sri Lanka to teach a PTC course and Instructor course, prior to the attendance of the instructors and others at the Scientific Sessions of the College of Anaesthesiologists of Sri Lanka, whose focus was on Trauma. Executive summary A team of 3 instructors from the UK were joined by Professor Rebecca Jacob from South India and Dr Shirani Hapuarachchi from Colombo to teach the course. The local co­ordinators had selected twenty doctors from the Jaffna and the Northern province of Sri Lanka, who would form the nucleus of the future instructor body in that region. A two day PTC course and subsequent one day instructor course were run, with in addition a half day BLS training session run in parallel to the morning of the Instructor course. Presentations at the Plenary Sessions of the College of Anaesthetists introduced PTC to a wider audience of several hundred and this was enthusiastically received. Over the past year the PTC programme has been extensively adopted in Sri Lanka and this has also impacted very substantially at a much broader level on Trauma management as a whole in the country. Background In January 2003 a joint approach was made to PTC headquarters by the Colleges of Anaesthesiologists and Surgeons of Sri Lanka for a PTC course and instructor course to be run in Colombo associated with the Annual Scientific Sessions of the Sri Lankan College of Anaesthesiologists. This proved very successful as further outlined below, and following this two of the 2003 instructors, James de Courcy and Sarah Bakewell, were invited back to speak (on subjects other than PTC) to the 2004 Sessions.

Abstract Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the main causes for mortality and morbidity in both develop and developing countries throughout the world. CHD had claimed nearly 7.4 million deaths worldwide according to WHO in 2015. Welle’s syndrome is now being increasingly recognized as a distinct entity causing acute coronary syndrome. The syndrome is due to critical narrowing of proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. Identification of this syndrome is paramount important because this is a preinfarction stage of CHD that often progresses to a devastating anterior myocardial infarction within a mean time of 8.5 days . We report a 62 year old recently diagnosed, well controlled diabetic gentleman who presented with ischemic type of chest pain with normal ECG and normal cardiac biomarkers on admission, found to have Welle’s syndrome.
