Hypertension, its risk factors and complications is very poorly understood therefore it goes undiagnosed and untreated for a long time. The present study was undertaken to study the clinical profile of isolated systolic hypertension (systolic > 140 and diastolic ≤ 90 mmHg ) in elderly (above the age of 60 years)and to find out any other associated risk factors, any end organ complications, specially cardiac through electrocardiography and echocardiography and on kidney through creatinine clearance. The present cross-sectional study was undertaken on patients attending the outdoor department and indoor department of medicine. The study group comprised of 75 elderly patients who had isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). Using Chi square test correlation of age with stage of BP, association of risk factors with ISH and Stage III BP and ECG changes with LVH calculated. It concluded that ISH associated with risk factors has definite effect mainly on cardiac in terms of LV hypertrophy and on kidney in terms of reduced creatinine clearance and is an even better predictor of mortalityand morbidity than is diastolic blood pressure.

AimApproximately 30–60% of the stroke survivors suffers from depression. This, together with the physical changes after stroke may lead to a decline in their quality of life (QOL). The aim of this paper was to analyse the incidence of post-stroke depression, associated risk factors and its influence on the QOL.Material and methodsWe carried out a prospective study on stroke patients during a period of 6months. We excluded patients with dysphasia and aphasia. For each patient, we collected socio-demographic characteristics as well as clinical and therapeutic data. We used the Hamilton Depression Scale to screen for anxiety and depression, the SF-36 scale to assess the quality of life and modified Rankin scale (mRS) to measure the degree of disability.ResultsWe included 155 men and 143 women with stroke, with mean age of 58.15 years. Out of 298 analysed patients, depression was present in 147 (49.3%). Associated risk factors were hypertension, female gender and severity of stroke (P < 0.05). The mean score of the SF-36 was 52.18. Impaired QOL was found in 221 (74.1%) and mRS > 3 was found in 169 (57.1%) of the patients. Impaired mental component of QOL significantly correlated with the presence of depression (P < 0.05) and anxiety (P < 0.05). The severe degree of disability had a significant negative impact on all areas of QOL.ConclusionImportant effect after stroke is occurrence of depression which affects the QOL and functional outcome. All stroke patients should be evaluated for depression through regular interviews with them and their families or caregivers. Adequate antidepressant treatment should be given, in order to improve the QOL and physical rehabilitation.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Study Results

Background: Stroke is serious pathology with a immense impact on the functional and vital prognosis. It is the leading cause of death worldwide. The objective of the study was to observe clinical profile of stroke patients and important risk factors. Methods: It was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in the department of Neurology, BangabandhuSheikh Mujib Medical Universiy(BSMMU), Shahbag, Dhaka from August 2014 to November2015. All patients above 18 years of age and both sexes attending the above mentioned department meeting all inclusion and exclusion criterias and confirmed CT/MRI scan of Brain were included in this study. Results: A total of 219 patients were studied. Maximum 93(42.5%) patients were in age group of 61-70 years followed by 51(23.3%) and 30(13.7%), in the age group of 51-60 years and 71-80 years respectively. Male 138(63%) were predominant than female 81(63%). 78(35.61%) patients had weakness in both sides of the body, 66(30.1%) had weakness in the left side and 36(16.4%) had weakness in the right side of the body. 190 (87.7) patients had ischemic stroke and 29(12.3%) had hemorrhagic stroke. Among risk factors dyslipidemia was in 185(84.5%) patients, hypertension, smoking habits, diabetes mellitus and ischemic heart disease were present in 165(75.3%), 120(54.8%), 105(47.9%) and 42 (19.2%) patients respectively. H/O recurrent stroke was present in 55(25%) cases. Conclusion: Stroke cases were male predominant where dyslipidaemia was the most common risk factor, most common type of stroke was ischemic, most common presentation was hemiplegia/monoplegia and commonest age of presentation was seventh decade.

INTRODUCTION: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a conotruncal defect, has been documented to be associated with chromosome abnormalities, single gene syndrome (22q11 microdeletion), known teratogens, with the rest associations being multifactorial. This study was carried out to determine the clinical profile and associated risk factors in patients with TOF admitted for surgical repairs. METHODS: Case files of all patients admitted for Tetralogy of Fallot over a period of one year were retrieved from the Medical Records Department and reviewed. Data on the patients' and their family history and associated cardiac anomalies were noted. RESULTS: There were 54 patients, 37 males and 17 females, with a mean age of 6.8 years +/- 7.1. Sixty percent were born between July and December, 81.5% as full term and 44% as first born. Twenty-six percent were born into consanguineous marriages. Five patients had dysmorphic features. Associated cardiac anomalies included right aortic arch, pulmonary atresia, dextrocardia and left superior vena cavae. CONCLUSION: The associated risk factors noted in this study were male sex, birthdates between July and December, first born and increased paternal age. Other risk factors were consanguinity and specific patterns of cardiovascular diseases associated with 22q 11 deletions. This suggests a multifactorial etiology for TOF.
