Common Presentation

Otalgia, or ear pain, is a common presentation in general practice. It can be broadly divided into primary and secondary otalgia. Primary otalgia is pain that arises from pathology of the external, middle and inner ear. Secondary otalgia, or referred otalgia, is pain that arises from pathology outside the ear. There are many causes of secondary otalgia, due to the complex sensory innervation of the ear. History and physical examination are vital in determining the aetiology. This clinical review discusses the possible causes of ear pain, and provides a systematic approach to assessment and management, including when to refer to specialists.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of Endodontic Postgraduate trainees regarding clinically relevant situations where an antibiotic cover is needed and is focused on the prescription patterns of various antibiotics depending on the clinical evaluation of the patients. METHODOLOGY: A cross sectional study was performed in which data was collected from five different dental institutes offering post-graduate residency in endodontics all over Karachi, Pakistan. Preferred antibiotic for odontogenic infections and the duration for the antibiotic coverage were evaluated amongst postgraduate clinicians. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed out of which only 82 questionnaires came back with responses. The study was conducted for a period of one month from August 2018- September 2018. The data collected was analyzed by SPSS version 21. RESULTS: A combination of amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid was the first choice of antibiotic in patients with no known allergies to penicillin (40.6%), whereas erythromycin was the first choice of antibiotic in patients having allergic reactions to penicillin (39.3%). The duration of treatment on average was 5 days. In clinical situations of irreversible pulpitis, with or without apical periodontitis, 74.3% and 67% of the respondents prescribed antibiotics. 78 % of respondents have prescribed antibiotics in cases of necrotic pulp with acute apical periodontitis. CONCLUSION: Our study concludes that antibiotic over prescription is very common amongst post graduate trainees and is contributing towards a larger issue of antibiotic resistance. Proper protocols of prescription should be followed by professionals and further refinement is required focusing on need, duration and choice of the antibiotic being used.

Objective:(1)To audit cases of abdominal hysterectomy performed by post graduate tainees. (2) Toevaluate mortality and morbidity rate. Study Design: An observational Study. Setting: Department of Obstetrics andgynaecology, Allied Hospital Faisalabad. Period: From 01-01-2005 to 30-06-2006. Material & Methods:120 casesof abdominal hysterectomies done for non obstetric and benign gynaecological conditions were selected for study.Results: The most common indications for hysterectomy was DUB (43.3%). Overall intra operative complicationsdeveloped in 5 patients (4.1%). Post operative complications developed in 9 patients (7.5%). The mean duration ofhospital stay was 5.5 days. No case of death was recorded in the study. Conclusion: This study demonstrates thatabdominal hysterectomy can be safely done even during the learning curve of the post graduate trainees with the lowcomplication rate, shorter hospital stay and without significant mortality.
