Background: Labour analgesia has been recommended but sufficient data on use of labour epidural analgesia with ropivacaine and fentanyl combination during labour is not available.Methods: A comparative study was conducted on 40 high risk labouring partuirents, randomly allocated to group A (iv tramadol) and group B (epidural analgesia with ropivacaine plus fentanyl). Assessments were done for fetal heart rate abnormality, mode of delivery, duration of labour, and Apgar score. The VAS score, patient satisfaction score, and complications were recorded.Results: Group A had more number of instrumental deliveries compared to group B, the later had higher number of caesarean sections. No difference was observed in vaginal deliveries in both the groups. Pain relief was significant in patients of epidural group. The neonatal outcome was same in both the groups. Significant number of patients had a higher degree of satisfaction score in group B compared to group A.Conclusions: Tramadol and epidural analgesia in labour are safe and effective. Patient satisfaction is significantly higher in epidural group as compared to the tramadol group.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the effect of chitosan, lifestyle modification, and combination of chitosan and lifestyle modification on body mass index (BMI) in obese patients. Methods: A prospective, randomized, open-label comparative study conducted for the period of 24 weeks. The study population was enrolled in three groups (chitosan 500 mg BD, lifestyle modification, and chitosan 500 mg BD and lifestyle modification). Data were analyzed using “t”-test and ANOVA. Results: There is a reduction in BMI in all the three groups. However, when we combined chitosan and lifestyle modification, there is pronounced reduction in BMI, which is statistically significant (p<0.0001). Conclusions: Chitosan and lifestyle modification have more pronounced effect on reduction on BMI as compared to monotherapy alone.
