Background: One of the most common clinical problem encountered by physicians in clinical practice is dyspepsia. This symptom has great impact on quality of life of patients. There are numerous causes of dyspepsia, organic as well as functional. Endoscopy is the diagnostic test of choice in these patients. Aim: The aim of our study was to see the endoscopic findings in patients with persistent dyspepsia. Methods: Retrospective analysis of data of patients who underwent Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) for persistent dyspepsia was collected and evaluated. Results: There were 495 patients in our study, 244 females and 251 males, with a mean age of 41 years. Almost half of the patients belonged to 21-40 years age group. The most common endoscopic finding in patients with persistent dyspepsia was gastritis (n=219, 44.2%), followed by normal endoscopy (n= 94, 19%), incompetent lower esophageal sphincter (n=67, 13.5%), gastric malignancy (n=48, 9.7%). Ulcer disease was found in just 15 patients (3%). Conclusion: Most common endoscopic finding in patients with persistent dyspepsia was gastritis followed by normal endoscopy.

Objectives: To observe the organic change occurs in dyspeptic patient by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Methods: The present prospective, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted at Medicine and Gastroenterology department of Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital, over a period of 6 month from 2019 to 2020.The study population was 200with aged18 years and above, irrespective of sex and who were suffering from dyspeptic symptoms for at least 6 months duration. Data regarding the demographic profile of study population nand endoscopic findings were processed and analyzed using software SPSS (Statistical Package for social science) version 26. Results: It was observed that most of the dyspeptic patients 71%were showing normal endoscopic findings and 29% have abnormal endoscopy findingwhere majority of the patient were 51 – 70 years of age.Out of them 41% of male and 26% of female had organic changes. It was also found that 46% of the patients were smoker and among them 34(37%) had abnormal endoscopic finding where 24(22%) non-smokerpatient had abnormal finding, which were statistically significant (p,0.05) between two group. Among abnormal endoscopic finding, 11% gastric erosions, 08% gastric ulcer, 04% duodenal erosions, 03% duodenal ulcer, 02% reflux oesophagitis, and carcinoma stomach rare 01%. Conclusion: The study concludes that majority of patients with complaints of dyspepsia have no organic lesion and can be considered non ulcer dyspepsia. The common abnormal endoscopic findings included gastric erosion and gastric ulcers relating to dyspepsia. The study findings also suggest that smoking is a risk factor for developing organic changes in dyspeptic patients specially in middle age group. Bangladesh J Medicine July 2022; 33(1) : 3-7

Background: The objective of the study was to enumerate the different mucosal lesions in established acute pancreatitis on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.Methods: We prospectively conducted a study on patients with acute pancreatitis above the age of 18 year having aute onset of typical abdominal pain consistent with acute pancreatitis, or Serum amylase and/ or lipase level >2 times the upper limit of normal or characteristic findings of acute pancreatitis on an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan or on ultrasonography. Patients who are unfit or not willing for endoscopy or had endoscopy –proved peptic ulcer disease in the recent 3 months were excluded.Results: In the present study, the most common age group presenting with acute pancreatitis was between 30 to 60 years. In present study, alcohol is the more common cause for acute pancreatitis, accounting for 90% of the study group and pain abdomen is the most common symptom. In the present study, CT scan is most (100%) confirmatory diagnostic investigation of acute pancreatitis. In the present study, out of 80 patients with acute pancreatitis who were subjected to OGD, 72 patients had positive upper gastrointestinal finding. In patients having significant OGD findings, gastritis (42 cases, 52.5%) accounted for the most common finding. In the present study the prevalence of H. pylori infection is only 26.3%. Enlarged pancreas is the only CT finding in most cases.Conclusions: Esophagitis and gastric and duodenal ulcers are common endoscopic findings in acute pancreatitis. They are not correlated with the severity of pancreatitis.

: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) has a profound impact on quality of life. Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the quality of life among Egyptian SLE patients and to assess its relationships with demographic and clinical features. Methods: One hundred sixty-four SLE patients were recruited for this study. Demographic information; clinical parameters; disease activity, as evaluated by the systemic lupus erythematosus Disease Activity Index; and organ damage, as assessed by the systemic lupus international Collaborative Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index, were reported. Quality of life was assessed with a quality of life questionnaire specifically designed for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus; the questions are grouped in the following six domains: physical function, sociooccupational activities, symptoms, treatment, mood, and self-image. Higher values indicate poorer quality of life. Conclusion: Poor quality of life among Egyptian SLE patients and disease activity are strongly related to impaired lifestyles in these patients.

Abstract Background The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has had a massive impact on individuals globally. The Chinese government has formulated effective response measures, and medical personnel have been actively responding to challenges associated with the epidemic prevention and control strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the implementation of a care transition pathway on patients that underwent joint replacement during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A quasi-experimental study was designed to evaluate the effect of implementing a care transition pathway for patients who underwent joint replacement during the COVID-19 pandemic in the orthopedic department of a tertiary care hospital in Beijing, China. Using a convenient sampling method, a total of 96 patients were selected. Of these, 51 patients who had undergone joint replacement in 2019 and received treatment via the routine nursing path were included in the control group. The remaining 45 patients who underwent joint replacement during the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 and received therapy via the care transition pathway due to the implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures were included in the observation group. The quality of care transition was assessed by the Care Transition Measure (CTM), and patients were followed up 1 week after discharge. Results The observation group was determined to have better general self-care preparation, written planning materials, doctor-patient communication, health monitoring, and quality of care transition than the control group. Conclusions A care transition pathway was developed to provide patients with care while transitioning through periods of treatment. It improved the patient perceptions of nursing quality. The COVID-19 pandemic is a huge challenge for health professionals, but we have the ability to improve features of workflows to provide the best possible patient care.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is recently the most common chronic lung disease and presents a serious medical, economic, and social problem for people. A correlational survey research was adopted to identify relationship between quality of life and disease severity among Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) clients attending Pulmonary Medicine OPD in a selected hospital, Kolkata with the objectives to assess the quality of life of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) clients and to find out correlation between disease severity and quality of life among Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) clients. Purposive sampling technique was adapted to select 138 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) clients attending Pulmonary Medicine OPD in a tertiary care hospital, Kolkata. The structured interview schedule was used to collect on demographic data and standardized WHO QOL BREF tool was used to assess Quality of Life. Standardized GOLD criteria were used to assess disease severity of COPD clients. Reliability of the demographic data collection tool was established by inter- rater method and r was 0.77. All the tools were tried out before final data collection. The finding of the study revealed statistically non-significant relationship between all the domain of QOL and disease severity of COPD patients. Total Quality of Life score is also not significantly related with COPD Disease severity score. The study results also showed that QOL is not associated with sociodemographic characteristics. The study concluded that, there is no correlation between quality of life and disease severity.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate quality of life (QoL) in a Brazilian population of individuals with cervical dystonia (CD) without effect of botulinum toxin (BTx) or with only residual effect of BTx, and identify possible physical and social aspects that affect their QoL. METHOD: Sixty five out of sixty seven consecutive patients with CD were assessed with two instruments: Short-form Health Survey with 36 questions (SF-36) and Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS). RESULTS: Severity of CD (TWSTRS) correlated moderately with two SF-36 subscale: role-physical (r= -0.42) and body pain (r= -0.43). Women also scored worse in two subscale of SF-36: vitality (p<0.05) and mental-health (p<0.005). CONCLUSION: Severity of CD and gender (female) were the main factors related to a worse QoL perception. These findings may help health professionals to predict which characteristics could lead to worse QoL, and therefore, better target their interventions to lessen the burden caused by CD.
