Most commonly these are secondary to amoebic infestation. Majority of liver abscesses present with abdominal pain confined to the right hypochondrium. Smaller abscesses are easily dealt with by needle aspiration or catheter drainage under image guidance. Larger and complex abscesses are commonly dealt with by surgical drainage. We deal here with a case of complex liver abscesses which even had perforated into the pleural cavity. Keeping a close watch on the patient’s general condition which was satisfactory, we did not rush into a major surgical procedure. Wide antibiotic coverage and pulmonary care were initiated. Two pig-tail catheters were placed in separate abscesses and metronidazole irrigation periodically done. The daily drain output gradually reduced and we could successfully remove the two catheters at an interval. The patient made a good recovery and continues to do well on follow-up. We see in t...

A representative sample of 180 mothers (90 employed mothers and 90 non-employed mothers, having eldest child of 6-9 years) belonging to nuclear families of Udaipur, Rajasthan were selected. Data were collected using self-structured Interview schedule (Child's after-school activity schedule). The results of the study revealed that the employed mothers' children's major part of after school time was devoted to skill classes, academics and watching TV and least time was given to interaction with persons, parents and play. In comparison to this, non-employed mothers' children's, major portion of after school time is devoted to TV watching, academics, skill classes and playing videogames. In both the cases, less time is given to play during after school hours. In employed mothers children, more than 80% mothers reported that their children are facing wellbeing problems "always" whereas in case of non-employed mothers', approximately 55% reported "sometimes, regarding well-being problems. Thus, it is evident that children are having no time during after school hours for play and available free time is devoted to sedentary activities like TV watching and playing videogames instead of playing freely. The results of the study revealed that highly significant difference was found between employed and nonemployed mothers' children in their after school hours as well as well-being of children
