Staff responses to the therapeutic environment: A prospective study comparing burnout among nurses working on male and female wards in a medium secure unit

Background: Calotropis procera commonly known as Madar is common shrub all over India. Its chemical component Calotropin, which is derived from latex is known to cause injury to eyes and oral mucosa. Toxic manifestations following accidental ingestion are mostly gastrointestinal. This study was aimed at studying the various clinical manifestations of Calotropis poisoning in patients admitted to GGH Nalgonda.Methods: This prospective observational study was done from Feb 2019 to May 2019.All patients both male and female admitted to GGH Nalgonda during this period were studied. Patients below 12 years, pregnant women and patients with earlier gastritis, hepatitis, stomatitis were excluded from the study. The study was carried out in all patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Results: A total of 60 patients 45 females and 15 males presented during the study period. Most of the patients presented with abdominal pain 15 (25%), hepatitis 10 (16.6%), stomatitis 12 (20%), vomiting 8 (13.3%), diarrhea 6 (10%), hyperkalemia 3 (5%), tachycardia 5 (8.3%), convulsion 1 (1.6%).Conclusions: It was observed from the study that most of the patients had abdominal pain as the major symptom. Stomatitis was the second most common symptom. It was observed consumption of the toxin in lesser quantities produced these symptoms in large quantities produced tachycardia, hyperkalemia and convulsions.

A Prospective Study

Background: Distal femoral fractures are extremely common and represent 6-8% of all the femoral fractures treated by orthopaedic surgeons. Near anatomical reduction is most important in these fractures to obtain near good functional results. A variety of treatment options are proposed for distal femoral fractures of the treatment with distal femoral LCP has yielded good results. In this study we did a prospective study of 30 patients treated with locking compression plates.Methods: There were 30 patients both male and female of different age groups treated by plate. All the patients were followed up in orthopaedic department prospectively for 12 months between November 2017 to November 2018. The functional and radiological outcomes were assessed.Results: The study included 30 patients both male and female in age group between 20 and above 60. Average follow up was 12 months using Neer’s scoring system we had excellent 60%, good 26.6%, fair 6.7%, poor 6.7%.Conclusions: The locking compression plate along with active physiotherapy proved to be better for distal femoral fractures.
