Background: World Health Organization (W.H.O.) has warned that India is the next hub for Cancer. Cancer annually kills four lakhs Indians. In developing countries, cancer ranks third as a cause of death and accounts for 9.5 % (3.8 million) of all mortality. Cancer is curable if detected early. The results of treatment in stage I and II (early stage)are about 80%.In late stage diseases (stage III and IV ), the results are less than 20%.In India, about 70%patients are in advanced stage, and are difficult to treat. By 2015, the number of new cases is expected to cross 15 lakhs. Objective: to analysis some of the epidemiological profile of Carcinomas and find the ways and means for prevention and control of the same Material and methods: Eightytwo confirmed cases of carcinomas were included in the study. Study variables: Age, sex and site of cancer lesions Findings and discussion: Out eighty two cases 60.97 % and 39.02 % were male and female respectively. As prostate is found in male only hence all 100 % cases were males while in cases of lump in breast ,out of nineteen cases 84.21 % and 15.78 % were female and male respectively. Regarding Goiter, each belongs 50 % cases to both sexes.Keywords

History: About a century back histology was the only means of microscopic diagnosis of malignancy, since than two methods, exfoliative and nonexfoliative which includes aspiration cytology and imprint cytodiagnosis have gradually evolved.
Objective: Assessment of suitability of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology, Imprint Cytodiagnosis and Histology in diagnosis of carcinomas.
Variables: Imprint cyto diagnosis, Fine needle aspiration and histopathogenesis
Materials and method: Seventy-four patients of carcinomas diagnosed by histopathogenesis taken as sample. Out of these 74 and 73 cases were diagnosed by imprint cytodiagnosis and F.N.A.C. respectively..
Findings and discussion: On comparision of results of all 74 cases obtained by Imprint cytodiagnosis,72 (97.29 %) were correctly diagnosed and 02(2.70%) false negative while nil percentage of false positive while in 73 cases diagnosed by F.N.A.C. 66(90.41%), 06(08.21%) and 01(01.36%) were correctly diagnosed, false negative and false positive respectively.
Conclusion: Imprint cytodiagnosis was found slightly better than Fine needle aspiration cytology in diagnostic accuracy.

Material and method: Seven year old tribal girl attended O.P.D. with huge lump in upper abdomen.
Findings: On exploratory laparotomy a huge cyst in lesser sac, a fluid resembling pus was aspirated. On opening the cyst, hair seen after draining the fluid. On further exploration, a fetus found.
Conclusion: Fetus in fetu is a rare and interesting entity. Presents as abdominal mass during childhood or infancy. Using current imaging modalities, it can be diagnosed preoperatively. Complete excision is curative and confirms the diagnosis.

Back ground: Cancer incidentally, is the biggest killer in India, after heart disease and it is estimated that there are 1.5 - 2 million cases at any given point in time.
Objective: To document the diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration and imprint cytodiagnosis in breast lumps.
Material and methods: Nineteen patients attending Surgical O.P.D. of a tertiary hospital were included in the study.
Statistical Analysis: Expressed in simple terms of proportion.
Findings: 84.21 and 94.73 percent were the accuracy rate of FNAC and Imprint cytodiagnosis respectively. There were 10.52 and 5.26 percent false negative and 5.2 and zero percent false positive rates were recorded through FNAC and Imprint cytodiagnosis respectively.
Conclusion: It was concluded that F.N.A.C. and Imprint cytodiagnosis are valuable tools in the management of suspected malignancy and should be recommended as a routine practice.

Background: More than two thirds of all cancer deaths occur in low and middle income countries. It is estimated that there are 1.5 -2 million cases at any given point in time.
Objective: Early and accurate diagnosis of cancer patients. Material and methods: Eighteen cases after clinical diagnosis were subjected to FNAC and Imprint cytodiagnosis by perineal route and needle with stylus and Histology.
Findings: The accuracy rate of both FNAC and Imprint cytodiagnosis was 100%. There were no false results.
Conclusion: A very important benefit of FNAC and Imprint cytology in prostatic diseases is reduction of time interval between needle biopsy of prostate and surgery i.e. surgery can be performed after one hour of biopsy.

Objective: To evaluate the role of Fine needle Aspiration Cytology and Imprint Cytodiagnosis in the diagnosis of Lymphadenopathy.
Materials and Methods: Eighteen patients having lumps as a clinical diagnosis, attended Surgical outdoor of a hospital attached to a medical college were included in the study. Lumps were subjected to fine needle aspiration cytology, excision then imprint smears, specimen thus obtained subjected to histological examination.
Statistical analysis: were expressed in terms of simple proportion
Findings: 94.44% and 5.55% accuracy and false negativity rate respectively was noted in both F.N.A.C. and Imprint cytodiagnosis, similarly false positivity rate was zero.
Conclusion: Fine needle aspiration cytology and imprint, both are simple, safe, reliable, easily learnt techniques and they save a lot of time, money, hospital beds stay and above all anxiety to the patient.

Back ground: Cancer accounted for 5 lakh death in India alone in 2005 .More than two thirds of all cancer deaths occur in low and middle income countries.
Objective: To assess the techniques of fine needle aspiration cytology and Imprint cytodiagnosis in thyroid cancers.
Study designs: four patients of thyroid lumps, attending O.P.D. of Hamidia, hospital, Bhopal were selected for the study. Convenient sampling was done .Patient’s detailed history, routine and special investigations as per need were carried out.
Statistical analysis: The analysis of data was done with the help of manual tabulation and for calculation of percentages.
Results: FNAC-The accuracy rate was 75 percent while in imprint cytodiagnosis an 100 percent accuracy rate was noticed.
Conclusion: The authors reached to the conclusion that F.N.A.C. save time, resources and patient anxiety. Admission for operation can be properly timed and the chances of missing thyroid cancers are much reduced. As there is paucity of data of imprint cytodiagnosis and in the present study too the sample was small so more study is to be done for getting comprehensive picture of the disease.

Depression has become a global problem seeking immediate attention tfom health practitioners and nutritionists. It is a mental disorder caused by a wide array of modifiable and non modifiable factors. People with depression exhibit mood swings, loss of interest or pleasure, disturbed sleep, feelings of guilt and poor concentration. Evidences have found a causal relationship between certain foods, physical inactivity, genetic factors and the development, progression and treatment of depression. In the past, most studies have only focused on the association of depression with specific nutrients or foods. But, the recent studies showcases that nutrition in synergy with exercise and adequate sleep can be far more effective in treating depression compared to when involved alone. This review summarizes the role of various macronutrients and micronutrients and influence of consistent exercise regimen in the neurotransmitter's synthesis and their regulation in influencing the mood and depressive symptoms of patients with depression. Although the efficacy of antidepressant drugs has also been well recognized but as prevention is better than cure, so is the role of these duo factors as a protective shield to pave away depression.Keywords

Floods in the Indian subcontinent have affected habitat, population, economy, etc. Due to the detrimental effects of recent floods on the economy, governance, etc., it is imperative to understand the associated dynamics, manifestations and fallouts for proper policy planning recommendations. The present study endeavours to provide an integrated rationale of meteorological and geomorphological aspects associated with four recent extreme floods in Uttarakhand (2013), Srinagar (2014), Chennai (2015) and Gujarat (2017). It is important to mention here that these floods occurred under different atmospheric circulations and geomorphological setting, and had an entirely different gambit for policy planning and governance. Consolidation of these issues will help policy planners and technologists, in case advance warning system based on these findings can be developed.Keywords
