Abstract: Background: Only A Small Proportion Of Patients Referred For Coronary Angiography With Suspected Coronary Artery Disease (Cad) Have The Diagnosis Of Obstructive Cad Confirmed By The Exam. Therefore, Further Risk Stratification Strategies Are Needed. Fragmented Qrs (Fqrs) Complex Is An Ecg Parameter That Has Recently Been Introduced And Investigated. Fqrs Is Thought To Be Caused By Ventricular Conduction Impairment Due To Ventricular Infarction Or Ischemia. Objectives: The Aim Of The Study Was To Evaluate The Comparison Of The Severity Of Cad Between Two Groups Fqrs And Non Fqrs Group......
Key Word: Coronary Artery Disease (Cad), Fragmented Qrs (Fqrs).

Abstract: The aim of our study is to assess the morbidity and mortality in patients with perforation peritonitis using Mannheims Peritonitis Index (MPI) and to assess its effectiveness. We made a hospital based, prospective, observational study of patients presenting with perforation peritonitis in a tertiary center, Ranchi during the year of 2017-2019. We used means, proportions and chi square test for analysis and found that out of the 80 patients we studied, 74% were male and 26% were female. On dividing the patients into three groups based on the MPI score (<16, 16-25 and >25),.....
