Case ReportsEncounter with Huge Yolk Sac Ovarian Tumor in a Child: A Case Report.
Yolk sac tumour frequently arises in the gonads as a type of germ cell tumour, though rare is a highly malignant ovarian tumour in children and prompt treatment should be done. We hereby report a case of malignant ovarian tumour presenting with an abdominal lump and increased urinary frequency. Different diagnostic modalities were used such as ultrasonography of the whole abdomen, contrast-enhanced computed tomography abdomen pelvis and tumour markers of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin and alpha-fetoprotein. This revealed an 18.2x14.3x10 cm mass likely a neoplastic germ cell tumour with minimal ascites. A tumour mass was found to arise from the left ovary and complete excision of the tumour along the left fallopian tube was done. Adjuvant chemotherapy started immediately. We hereby present a case of a 9-year-old girl with a huge yolk sac tumour of the left ovary which is rare in our setting and is presented here to differentiate any ovarian mass in this age group. ⋯ children; surgical procedure; yolk sac tumour.

B-Lynch Suture Management among Patients with Postpartum Hemorrhage in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Postpartum haemorrhage is the most life-threatening complication during pregnancy and atonic postpartum haemorrhage being the commonest one, often poses difficulties in management. B-Lynch suture with a high success rate has emerged as a life-saving measure in uncontrolled atonic postpartum haemorrhage refractory to uterotonics. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of B-Lynch suture management among patients with post-partum haemorrhage in a tertiary care centre. ⋯ cesarean section; postpartum haemorrhage; suture.

Ruptured Corpus Luteum among Women Undergoing Laparotomy for Hemoperitoneum in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Rupture of the corpus luteum, though generally self-limiting in women with normal coagulation, could lead to life-threatening bleeding in patients with prosthetic valves on anticoagulant therapy and described in only a few case reports in the literature. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of ruptured corpus luteum among women undergoing laparotomy for hemoperitoneum in a tertiary care centre. ⋯ anticoagulant; corpus luteum; hemoperitoneum.

The curriculum vitae is the standard means of communication of accomplishments that are relevant to the academic realm. The purpose of this is to provide a brief, digestible summary of one's personal and professional life. The quality of a curriculum vitae is more important than the quantity, and it takes skill to write one that is organized, clear, and brief. From their first year of medical school, medical students can get involved in research and publishing, plan activities that develop their leadership and management abilities, pursue their interests, and attend national and international conferences. At the end, it's all about working on yourself and developing a distinct professional and personal identity which can be effectively reflected in your curriculum vitae. ⋯ career; hobbies; leadership; medical students; research.
