Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College (NSCB Medical College) is the second oldest medical college in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. It was founded in 1955 as Government Medical College, Jabalpur. Admission is through a pre-medical entrance exam and the current class size is 180 students per year. It has a full service medical hospital on campus which is the main teaching hospital. It is also accredited for Post graduate and subspeciality medical education.It is named after Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the most prominent leader of the Indian independence movement. The Dean of NSCB Medical College is Dr PK Kasar.NSCB Medical is located in the Garha region of Jabalpur, and is surrounded by hills..
Uterine Rupture is one of the most catastrophic events in obstetrics. Poor antenatal care, obstructed labor and previously scarred uterus are the preceding factors. Signs and symptoms are not specified but high rate of suspicion in predisposed patients is key to, decrease the mortality and morbidity. The objective of study was to know the incidence, etiology, choice of surgical management, and outcome in patients of rupture uterus. It is an institution-based retrospective study carried out at the Department of obstetrics and gynecology, Shyam Shah Medical College, Rewa (M.P). All the diagnosed rupture uterus patients admitted from Jan 2016 to Dec 2020 were included in the study. Approval from Institutional ethical committee was taken. Data regarding clinical, investigational, and management details were retrieved from the case records of 80 women with diagnosis of uterine Rupture. Majority of women (92.5
Incomplete or premature healing with retained collections after cryptoglandular fistula surgery predisposes to recurrence, making early postoperative assessment and remedial action essential. Magnetic resonance imaging is the standard diagnostic tool but is costly and often inaccessible in low- and middle-income countries. We therefore developed the Jabalpur Transperineal Ultrasonography-based Scoring System to predict postoperative healing. This paper demonstrates its potential.
With growing interest in surgical de-escalation for breast cancer, tumor bed biopsy (TBB) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been proposed as a tool to predict pathological complete response (pCR). This meta-analysis assessed the diagnostic accuracy and clinical applicability of TBB in breast cancer patients achieving complete clinical response (cCR) post-NACT. PubMed, Embase, and online clinical trial registries were systematically searched up to April 2025 for studies evaluating TBB in cCR patients after NACT. Pooled sensitivity, specificity and false-negative rate (FNR) were calculated using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was quantified using the I2 statistic. Eight studies met inclusion criteria. Pooled sensitivity was 0.58 (95
Commercial self-retaining perineal retractors provide excellent exposure during anorectal and vaginal surgery but remain prohibitively expensive for many resource-limited hospitals. We designed an indigenous self-retaining perineal retractor using readily available materials, incorporating a re-usable stainless-steel ring, modified barbless fishing hooks, disposable Foley catheter traction strings and a novel self-locking slot mechanism. The device was prospectively evaluated in three patients undergoing colorectal and gynecological procedures. It provided stable self-retaining circumferential exposure, facilitated precise dissection and suturing and was not associated with device-related complications. Costing approximately US$10, this reusable system offers an affordable, versatile alternative for perineal surgery in low-resource settings.
This review examines population-based strategies for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and evaluates how integration between cardiology and public health can facilitate effective and scalable approaches to reducing the global CVD burden. Despite major therapeutic advances, the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular disease continue to increase, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), driven by demographic transitions, lifestyle changes, and socioeconomic inequities. Using a structured narrative synthesis, the review draws on epidemiological evidence, risk factor frameworks, policy interventions, and large-scale prevention initiatives to evaluate strategies across primordial, primary, and secondary prevention domains. The findings indicate that reductions in cardiovascular risk require approaches that extend beyond individual-level clinical management to address environmental, behavioral, and structural determinants of health. While interventions such as national screening programs, community-based strategies, and regulatory policies demonstrate measurable impact, gaps remain in evidence quality, health system integration, and equitable inclusion of vulnerable populations. The review highlights how alignment of clinical cardiology, public health systems, and multisectoral policies can improve prevention delivery and equity. It further emphasizes that strengthening primary care, advancing digital health technologies, and embedding prevention within broader social policy frameworks are essential for developing resilient cardiovascular prevention systems in resource-constrained settings.
