The 2019 novel corona virus has created havoc across the world for whole of last year and still doing so with its continuing second and third waves. It is hypothesized that SARS CoV 2 virus can spread by sneezing, coughing, and even talking to close contact (less than 2 meters) in as little time as few minutes. This exercise was done in patients who attended the Otorhinolaryngological outpatient department from July 2020 to December 20 in a tertiary care center in Lucknow. A total of 1556 patients were included in this study. Keeping this is mind, after careful discussion we propose a OPD consultation protocol which would not only be useful during this pandemic but even after the peaks have passed and COVID-19 transmission comes down to low levels. This protocol if followed properly would prevent transmission of many such possible infections in future as well.

Background: This study was done to find out geriatric morbidity pattern in a tertiary care hospital in the hilly state of Sikkim.Methods: The study was conducted in Central Referral Hospital, a tertiary care center, in the hilly state of Sikkim, over a period of three months. All geriatric patients, 60 years or above, were included in the study. Morbidity affecting specific organ systems was classified based on the outpatient department (OPD) visited and case files of those patients.Results: 215 elderly patients visited outpatient department during the study period. Morbidity related to eyes was most common followed by cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and respiratory systems.Conclusions: Our study compares well with range of distribution of complaints in other studies. However, there is a wide range of proportionate distribution of different morbidities in different geographic areas of our country. Hence, before deciding about resource allocation for geriatric health facilities related to different specialties, distribution of morbidities should be determined for that region.

PURPOSE- To analyse various ocular diseases leading to permanent visual handicap in a district based on visual handicap certification issued by ophthalmologist at tertiary care center after verification of the domicile of the person. METHOD – This is a retrospective analysis of patients attending outpatient department of tertiary care center for visual handicap certification. It was done over the period of one year with total recruitment of 311 patients. All patients were examined for best corrected visual acuity according to Snellen’s chart, anterior and posterior segment examination. Ultrasonography and/or Optical Coherence Tomography and/or electroretinography / visual evoked potential was done in selected cases. After diagnosis, percentage of blindness was determined according to the categories of visual disability and blindness certificate was issued. RESULT- Maximum of the certified visually disabled individuals are of 21- 30 years (73 patients, 23.47%). 212 patients were males and 99 were females. Visual disability of 100% was seen in 258 cases. Retinitis Pigmentosa was the most common cause seen in 67(21.54%) cases. Other major causes include congenital ocular malformation(16.40%) optic atrophy(13.83%), phthisis bulbi (8.68%), corneal opacities(8.36%), glaucoma(6.75%). CONCLUSION- The burden of the blindness can be decreased by public educationand genetic counselling regarding common and preventable causes of blindness, as early diagnosis, treatment and visual rehabilitation can help to improve visual outcome and ultimately visual handicap in the society for the better future.

Background: Menstrual disorders are an important cause of concern among adolescent girls. Most problems are physiological but few have underlying pathology which has adverse effect on the future reproductive health Aim of the study was to know the prevalence and to evaluate the underlying cause of the menstrual problems in adolescent girls seeking medical care.Methods: This is a cross sectional study conducted in in 215 adolescent girls aged 13-19 years who sought medical care over a period of 12 months for menstrual complaints from the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Govt. Medical College, Thrissur, a tertiary care center in middle of Kerala, South India. Data was analyzed by SPSS software and p value <0.05 was taken statistically significant.Results: Dysmenorrhea was the most common problem (57.5%), followed by scanty menstruation (35.35%) and 25.2% of girls suffered from premenstrual symptoms. Hypothyroidism was seen in 2.4% of girls 40% were anemic. Statistically significant association was found between hypothyroidism and features of hyperandrogenemia with cycle irregularity. Ultrasonographic evidence of polycystic ovarian morphology was identified among 61.9% girls with irregular cycles.Conclusions: Even though majority of menstrual issues are self-limiting proper evaluation and follow up for medical disorders like hypothyroidism and anemia are important and appropriate intervention is crucial for future reproductive and general health of adolescents presenting with Menstrual disorders.
