Endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare malignant uterine tumour, constituting 0.2% of all gynaecological malignancies. Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGSS) poses a great diagnostic challenge. A case of LGSS, diagnosed on histopathology examination of the hysterectomy specimen is reported here.Keywords

Background: Unsafe abortion is an important factor that contributes to maternal morbidity and mortality in the developing world. Uterine perforation and bowel injuries are the major complications after unsafe abortion. The reason for these complications is that most of the abortions are done by untrained personnel.
Case: We are presenting a case report of bowel protrusion and its trauma following uterine injury, which is rare nowadays.
Conclusion: To meet the unmet needs, legalisation of abortion is not sufficient, removing needless barriers to abortion is important. Availability of safer abortion facilities in rural areas, easy accessibility to these services, and training of health care providers will significantly reduce maternal morbidity and mortality.

Melioidosis is an infectious disease of humans and animals, caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, a gram-negative soil bacterium. It is a disease of tropical climates with reports from North east and South India. It has also been listed as potential bioterrorism weapon. The bacterium causing melioidosis is found in contaminated water and soil. It spreads to humans through inhalation or inoculation.
With clinical presentations ranging from asymptomatic infection to full blown sepsis syndrome with very high mortality rate, early diagnosis and prompt treatment is important to reduce mortality.
Melioidosis is under reported in India, as it needs a high index of suspicion along with the isolation and identification of B. pseudomallei from blood and secretions.
