This study was aimed to compare and analyze the effects and safety of minimally invasive and craniotomy in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. ⋯ Compared with craniotomy, minimally invasive surgery is more effective in the treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, as well as it is more conducive to restore neurological function, improve prognosis and reduce serum inflammatory factor levels.

To study Agreement between Keratometric readings by VERION image guided System, Galilei G4 and Pentacam. ⋯ Verion image guided system is comparable to other instruments used currently for keratometry. Verion can be interchangeably used with Pentacam and Galilee G4 in assessing corneal astigmatism.

Escherichia Coli is the most common etiological agent of UTI and accounts for more then 100, 0000 hospitalization annually. The objective of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Prunella vulgaris against E. coli from urinary tract infection patients. ⋯ Ciprofloxacin has more efficacy than PV and no synergistic effect with extracts of PV. Cefixime is least efficacious against resistant E. coli, however it has synergistic effect with extracts of PV.

This study was conducted to assess outcomes in patients with hydrocephalus who underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunting at Keen's point. ⋯ Our experience with VP shunting at Keen's point resulted in excellent outcomes. It can be used for the management of hydrocephalus both in pediatric as well as adult population.

To compare the therapeutic effects of visual standard channel combined with visual superfine precision puncture channel or super-mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) on multiple renal calculi. ⋯ Both surgical approaches had high clearance rates of multiple renal calculi, safety, reliability and few complications. However, compared with the conventional puncture channel, the visual one was easy to operate and dramatically shortened the time of establishment, thus being safer and more accurate.
