Publication Fallopian Tube Papilloma – Case Report of a Rare Tumor(Kathmandu University, 2013) Narasimhaiah, A; Ansari, M; Haritwal, A; Awasthi, SABSTRACT Fallopian tube neoplasms are rare. We report a rare case of fallopian tube papilloma discovered incidentally in a 45 year old female, operated for procidentia. Right tube was dilated at the infundibular region, with friable grey white tissue in the lumen. Microscopy showed delicate branching papillae lined by a single layer of epithelium resembling tubal lining. There were no features to suggest a reactive hyperplasia in response to inflammation or of aggressive behaviour. KEY WORDS Epithelial lesions, fallopian tube papilloma, metaplastic papillary tumor, proliferativePublication Measurement of Renal Arteries Using Multi detector Computed Tomography: A Study in Tertiary Care Hospital in Nepal(Institute of Medicine, 2018) Khanal, UP; Ansari, M; Humagain, M; Dhakal, SAbstract Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the dimensions ofthe renal arteries (length and diameter), among the patients referred for Contrast Enhanced CT(CECT) of abdomen in department of Radiology and Imaging, Tribhuwan University, Teaching Hospital. Methods: This prospective study was performed in Department ofRadiology and Imaging TUTH with A total of 135 (73 male and 62 female) patients underwent CECT abdomen from June to September 2018. In this study the diameter of right and left renal arteries, the length of right and left renal arteries were determined. Results: The mean values of right renal artery diameter were found to be(0 .5706 ± 0.09861 cm) in males and (0.5061 ± 0.08384 cm) in females respectively. The mean values of left renal arteries diameter were found to be (0.5889 ± 0.10351 cm) in males and (0.5354 ± 0.10552 cm) in females respectively. The mean values of right renal artery length were found to be (4.568751 ± 0.83128cm) in males and (4.0318 ± 0.87575cm) in females respectively. The mean values of left renal arteries length were found to be (3.5990 ± 0.79567cm) in males and (3.2002 ± 0.59207cm) in females respectively. The diameter of renal artery diameter exhibited statistically significant differences in relation to age of the patients (p<0.05) with peak values in 55- 64 years age group where the mean right and left renal arteries diameters were found to be 5.801 mm and 6.012 mm respectively. Conclusion: This study concluded that the diameter of the renal arteries variessignificantly with the age of the patients.

Prescribing errors may have various detrimental consequences. Hence, the components of a prescription should be clearly written, free of drug related omission (incomplete prescription), commission (incorrect information) and integration errors, without non- official abbreviations, and fulfil the legal requirements of a prescription. Since errors of prescribing are the commonest form of avoidable medication errors, it is the most important target for improvement. Objectives: To estimate the types and prevalence of medication errors during transcription. Materials and methods: A cross sectional descriptive retrospective study was conducted at Nobel Medical Teaching Hospital, Biratnagar, Nepal during a time period from 15th November 2008 to 14th February 2009. A random sample of 268 prescriptions of patients written during a period of one year (18/06/2007 to 17/06/2008) for ten different medical out patient departments of the Hospital were reviewed and the analysis was carried out for determining the different types of errors in writing a prescription. Results: No error was found regarding the name, age, sex and address of the patients due to computerised data entry system. The error in prescriptions regarding the prescriber’s name, qualification, NMC registration number and signature were 85.4%, 99.6%, 99.6% and 15.7% respectively. Similarly, the symbol Rx was missing in 66.8%. Dosage form, quantity, dose, frequency and route of administration were not mentioned in 12%, 60%, 19%, 10% and 63% of the prescriptions respectively. Likewise, strength of the prescribed medicines was not stated in 40% of the cases. Conclusion: There is a need to critically address the legibility of prescription, correct spelling of drugs, authorised abbreviations and all other informations of a prescription concerned with patient, prescriber and drugs to minimise the occurrence of medication errors.
