The practices of intimate hygiene vary widely around the globe due to cultural and religious beliefs. Currently, professional recommendations are limited in advising the optimal hygiene practices. Inappropriate practices can be concerning with the possibility of the development of infectious complications. Regular use of hygiene practices can improve overall health and boost self-confidence in females. In this review, we provided our expert suggestions on the importance and standard practices that can be adopted by females worldwide for adequate and effective intimate hygiene.

Its main goal is to merge two or more images in such a way as to retain the most desirable characteristics of each in resultant image. By observing medical fusion image, doctors could easily confirm the position of illness. In this field of medicine to evaluate or to examine the inner body parts different radiometric scanning techniques can be used. Some most commonly used scanning techniques include Computerized Tomography(CT scan), Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan(MRI) and Position Emission Tomography(PET)but the images of various body parts taken by using these scanning techniques are having their own merits and demerits. The idea of combining images from different modalities become very important and medical image fusion has emerged as a new promising research field. This paper presents two approaches to image fusion, namely Spatial Fusion and Transform Fusion . This paper describes Te...

Predominant epithelial thymoma can be misdiagnosed as papillary thyroid carcinoma on fi ne needle aspiration and lymph node metastasis of epithelial tumor on frozen section. Predominantly lymphocytic thymomas have often been misinterpreted as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or malignant lymphoma, either by fi ne needle aspiration or on frozen section analysis. If cytology is doubtful and is not correlating with clinical, anatomical and surgical fi ndings; immunohistochemistry is a very important tool in such cases to give fi nal answer. Thyroid cell specifi c proteins such as thyroglobulin, thyroid transcription factor-1, thyroperoxidase and dipeptidyl aminopeptidase-4, neuroendocrine markers chromogranin, calcitonin and parathyroid hormone could be used to rule out thyroid or parathyroid origin. We present such rare case of ectopic cervical thymoma mimicking as papillary thyroid carcinoma.
