Abstract
Carcinoma rectum is a challenging problem both for the developed and underdeveloped countries. Colorectal cancer accounts for 9% of all cancer deaths (49,920) in 2009 in USA. Carcinoma involving the lower part of the rectum is now successfully managed by sphincter saving surgery with less morbidity and uneventful recovery. To observe the objective, subjective and functional outcome of the patients suffering from cancer of the lower third of the rectum managed by surgical intervention with preservation of sphincter. A comparative study was carried out on 54 patients with low rectal cancer who underwent ultra-low anterior resection in the department of surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from January 2009 to December 2010. Patients were divided into two groups depending on the tumor distance from anal verge. Thirty one (57%) patients were in Group A (Experimental) where tumor distance was 5cm from anal verge and upper 1cm of anal sphincter was sacrificed during surgical intervention. Twenty three (43%) patients were in Group B (Control) where tumor distance was 6cm from anal verge and whole length (4cm) of anal sphincter was preserved during surgical intervention. Functional integrity of anal sphincter was assessed between these two groups of patients following surgery. The mean age of the patients was 45.96±14.41 years. During surgery, ultra low anterior resection was performed to remove the tumor in all patients and for anastomosis double stapling technique was performed in 52(96%) patients and hand sewn technique was performed in 2(4%) patients irrespective of tumor distance from anal verge. Covering ileostomy was fashioned in all but one patient. During post-operative follow up anal sphincter muscle tone, anal sphincter function (Anal continence, p = 0.54), Quality of life (Social life, p = 0.54; Professional life, p = 0.23; House work and Need a diaper, p = 0.54) were not significantly impaired in both groups. Functional outcome of anal sphincter muscle and quality of life was not impaired in comparison to general population after low rectal cancer surgery.

Abstract
The high aspect rotating-wall vessel (HARV) was recently designed by NASA to cultivate animal cells in an environment that simulates microgravity. This work examines the effects of HARV cultivation on DU 145 human prostate carcinoma cells. In the HARV, these prostate cells grew in suspension on Cytodex-3 microcarrier beads to form bead aggregates with extensive three-dimensional growth between beads and on the aggregate surface. HARV and spinner-flask control cultures of DU 145 cells had similar doubling times, but the former was characterized by a higher percentage of G(1)-phase cells, larger bead aggregates, enhanced development of filopodia and microvilli-like structures on the aggregate surface, and stronger staining for select cytoskeletal proteins (cytokeratins 8 and 18, actin, and vimentin). When compared with static controls grown in a T-flask and Transwell insert, HARV cultures grew more slowly and differences in the cell cycle and immunostaining became more pronounced. These results suggest that HARV cultivation produced a culture that was less aggressive from the perspective of proliferation, more differentiated and less pliant than any of the three control cultures examined in this work. Possible factors effecting this change are discussed including turbulence and three-dimensional growth.

Abstract
The normal anatomy of the cervical spine and various imaging techniques for the evaluation of torticollis are reviewed, and possible causes of torticollis in infants and children are discussed, with an emphasis on relevant imaging findings. Torticollis is a congenital or acquired deformity characterized by rotational deformity of the cervical spine with secondary tilting of the head. Although torticollis is a sign of an underlying disease process, its presence does not imply a specific diagnosis, and the cause should be sought if torticollis persists or is associated with other symptoms. Congenital torticollis, seen in neonates and infants, usually results from craniocervical vertebral anomalies or muscular causes, although ocular abnormalities such as congenital paralytic squint (strabismus) and congenital nystagmus should also be considered. Acquired torticollis, seen in older children and adolescents, is often secondary to trauma, infection, or tumors. Imaging should be used as a general screening tool only after a complete medical history and clinical findings have been obtained. In newborns or infants with congenital torticollis, ultrasonography (US) is the modality of choice. In cases of acquired torticollis resulting from trauma, conventional radiography (lateral and anteroposterior views) should be the first-line imaging modality. In nontraumatic acquired torticollis, computed tomography (CT) of the neck or cervical spine is the initial imaging study. If CT findings are negative, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brain and cervical spine should be performed. The use of multiple imaging modalities (conventional radiography, US, CT, and MR imaging) is common in the radiologic work-up of torticollis, and radiologists must understand the role of each imaging modality in patients of various ages.

Abstract
AIMS Optometrists are becoming increasingly involved in the co-management of glaucoma patients as the burden on the Hospital Eye Service continues to escalate. The aim of this study was to assess the agreement between specially trained optometrists and glaucoma-specialist consultant ophthalmologists in their management of glaucoma patients. METHODS Four optometrists examined 23-25 patients each and the clinical findings, up to the point of dilation, were documented in the hospital records. The optometrist, and one of two consultant ophthalmologists, then independently examined and documented the optic-disc appearance before recording their decisions regarding the stability and management of the patient on a specially designed proforma. Percentage agreement was calculated together with kappa or weighted kappa statistics, where appropriate. RESULTS Agreement between consultants and optometrists in evaluating glaucoma stability was 68.5% (kappa (κ)=0.42-0.50) for visual fields, 64.5% (weighted κ=0.17-0.31) for optic discs, and 84.5% (weighted κ=0.55-0.60) for intraocular pressures. Agreement regarding medical management was 96.5% (κ=0.73-0.81) and for other glaucoma management decisions, including timing of follow-up, referral to a consultant ophthalmologist, and discharge, was 72% (weighted κ=0.65). This agreement increased to 90% following a retrospective independent then consensus review between the two consultants and when qualified agreements were included. Of the 47 glaucoma and non-glaucoma queries generated during the study, 42 resulted in a change of management. CONCLUSION Confirming the ability of optometrists to make appropriate decisions regarding the stability and management of glaucoma patients is essential if their involvement is to continue to develop to meet the demand of an aging population.

Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been the primary imaging modality and has revolutionized the imaging of brain tumors. MRI can display accurate multi planer imaging without interfering of adjacent structures specially for posterior fossa mass lesion. MRI is the imaging modality of choice for cerebollo-pontine (CP) angle Schwannoma. The study was performed to determine, the diagnostic accuracy of MRI in the evaluation of intracranial extra axial CP angle Schwannoma. MRI scan of brain was done on 42 consecutively selected patients referred for the evaluation of CP Acoustic Schwannoma. The age range from 21-60 years and the mean age was 42.85 (+/- 9.5) years. Highest incidence of cerebollo-pontine angle (CPA) mass were found 42.86% in 41-50 age group of patients. Male and Female ratio was 1.083:1. The most common presenting feature of the patients with CP angle Acoustic Schwannoma were headache 90.48%. Acoustic Schwannoma is T1 hypointense 100%, T2 hyper intense 84.61% and heterogeneously hyper intense 92.30% in FLAIR image. After giving contrast agents, homogeneous enhancement 57.69% and heterogeneous 42.31% cases of Acoustic Schwannoma. Overall 61.54% Acoustic Schwannoma strong contrast enhancement was observed. Dural tail was observed in 26.92% cases. Perilesional edema was observed 38.46% cases. Mass effect was observed in 76.92%. After complete MRI evaluation 61.9% had Acoustic Schwannoma. Histopathologicaly proved cases showed out of all patients Acoustic Schwannoma 59.52%. The overall sensitivity of MRI to diagnose Acoustic Schwannoma were found, Sensitivity- 96%, Specificity- 88.2%, PPV-92.31%, NPV-93.75% and Acceuracy 92.86%. Test is significant with p < 0.0001 level. It is conceivable that MRI is a highly accurate, sensitive and Gadolinium enhanced MRI is more sensitive in detection of acoustic Schwannoma. MR imaging is the study of choice for the examination of the patient of cerebellopontine angle Schwannoma because of its high sensitivity specially after use of contrast material.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The natural history of thyroid function in adults with Down syndrome is relatively unknown with limited long-term follow-up data. METHOD This study investigated annual thyroid function tests in 200 adults with Down syndrome over a 15-year period. RESULTS For healthy adults with Down syndrome there is a gradual increase in thyroxine and possible gradual decline in thyroid-stimulating hormone with age. The 15-year incidence for definite hypothyroidism remains low and subclinical hypothyroidism is not a precursor for the onset of definite hypothyroidism. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of thyroid dysfunction is markedly less than would be expected from prevalence studies. Subclinical hypothyroidism is not necessarily a precursor to definite hypothyroidism. Prevalence studies have overstated the association between thyroid dysfunction and Down syndrome. Routine screening for adults with Down syndrome who are euthyroid can be reduced to every 5 years rather than the 1-2 years, as is the present policy.

Abstract
Staphylococcus epidermidis is an emerging nosocomial pathogen. Due to its increasing incidence in many countries of the world it is a burning issue now a day. There is marked geographic variation in prevalence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis. Though it as is an endogenous human skin flora, it is therefore easily transmissible in the hospital environment well as in a community. Skin of patients and health care workers, medical equipment, clothing of personnel and environment surfaces can be sources of antibiotic-resistant S. epidermidis strains. This opportunistic pathogen causing different types of infections linked to implanted medical devices especially in immunocompromised patients. Early and specific diagnosis is important to ensure a favourable outcome. So Staphylococcus epidermidis found in culture should not always be ignored as contaminant and proper medical treatment and preventive guidelines should be applied against this alarming pathogen.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus strains those are resistant to methicillin are referred to as Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. These express mecA gene to produce altered penicillin binding protein. At present Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus has been increasing as a serious nosocomial and community pathogen having the property of multi drug resistant. Humans are the natural reservoir for Staphylococcus aureus and asymptomatic colonization is far more common than infection. Many hospitals of different country of the world including Bangladesh are struggling with increasing number of this versatile pathogen. Early and specific diagnosis is important to ensure a favourable outcome. In this paper we attempted to explore history, prevalence, transmission, risk factors, pathogenicity, laboratory diagnosis, prevention and control of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus as a critical review to provide some new upgrade regarding this super bug.

Abstract
The present study was done to detect biofilm formation among the strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis isolated from different clinical specimens and healthy controls in the department of Microbiology, Mymensingh Medical College between July 2007 to June 2008. A total of 62 Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates were identified by standard microbiological technique. Among them 32 S. epidermidis were isolated from cases and 30 were from healthy controls. Antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates was carried out by disk diffusion method as per recommendation of Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute 2007. Biofilm production was detected by Modified microtiter-plate test. Out of 32 clinical isolates of S. epidermidis, 13 strains found to produce biofilm. On the other hand out of 30 S. epidermidis from healthy controls, only 5 strains produced biofilm. So detection rate of biofilm production of S. epidermidis by Modified microtiter plate test in clinical isolates was significantly higher than that of control group.
