Objective. The aim of this study was the evaluation of epidemiological and psychosocial parameters in a sample of overweight and obese children hospitalized for various pathologies. The duration of the study was 12 months. Methods. We performed a prospective study that included overweight and obese children admitted in the Paediatric Unit of our hospital from July 2014 until June 2015. The exclusion criteria consisted of the presence of secondary pathologies related to obesity. A questionnaire was applied to all patients included with questions about family and personal risk factors for obesity; we realized also a psychological evaluation and quality of life assessment (PedsQL). For each patient we performed clinical evaluation, laboratory and imaging investigations (abdominal ultrasound).Results. The study included 78 patients: 27 overweight (34.6%), 51 obese (65.3%). We studied the family history concerning the weight status: 55 had one obese parent and 15 had both parents with obesity. We identified dietary errors for almost all patients (65 patients = 83.3%). The average number of hours of physical activity was rather low (0.57 hours/day) and the average time spent in front of the TV and computer was increased (5.7 hours/day). Conclusions. Obesity has been associated with familial background of obesity, dietary errors (both eating schedule and composition), decreased time spent doing physical activity and increased time dedicated to computer and television. These conclusions should be considered in the prophylactic and curative programs done for this pathology.

Background: Obstructive jaundice poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This study was undertaken to highlight the clinical and radiological assessment of obstructive jaundice in our setting and to approach for early diagnosis and treatment before irreversible tissue insult sets in.Methods: Present study was prospective study conducted at Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Mullana, Ambala. Data were collected on prescribed proforma and analyzed stastically.Results: A total of 50 patients were studied. It is more common in productive adult with the mean age of 51.04±12.40 years. The male to female ratio was 1:1.08. Majority of the patients were having benign pathology (62%) and choledocholithiasis was the commonest benign cause. Abdominal ultrasound was the diagnostic imaging done in all patients and revealed dilated CBD (>1 cm) in 78% cases, dilated IHBR in 96%of cases and multiple CBD stones in 78.3% of cases. CT was reserved for suspected malignant and MRCP was planned in stone or benign causes. 70% patients were selected for ERCP and 62% of patients underwent definitive open procedure viz choledocholithotomy (40%), hepaticojejunostomy (12%).Conclusions: Obstructive jaundice in our study was more prevalent in females and the cause is mostly CBD stones. The result suggests that early diagnosis and treatment plays vital role in the prognosis of patients with obstructive jaundice.
