INTRODUCTION: The pattern of skin disease varies from country to country and in various regions within same country due to differences in socioeconomic and geographic factors. This study aimed to determine the pattern of skin disease from the three districts of Terai region in Nepal. MATERIALAND METHODS: This was retrospective study done from the hospital OPD patient's record of Universal college of Medical Sciences & Teaching Hospital (UCMS-TH), from 1st  September 2011 to 31st August 2012. Patients from Rupandehi, Nawalparasi and Kapilvastu districts were taken. The diagnosis were entered in 15 categories like Acne, Alopecia Areata, Dermatophytosis, Drug reaction, Eczema, Leprosy, Lichen Planus, Melasma, Psoriasis, Pyoderma, Scabies, sexually transmitted diseses (STI), Urticaria, Viral infection and Vitiligo. Any diagnosis not in these categories, was kept at “Other” category. Monthly trend of disease was also analysed.RESULT:  Total number of patients from Rupandehi, Kapilvastu and Nawalparasi districts were 12446 (89.3%), 661 (4.7%), 836 (6%) respectively. Dermatophytosis was the commonest 2003 (16.1%) in Rupandehi district, it was second in number in Nawalparasi and Kapilvastu. Eczema was the commonest in Kapilvastu and Nawalparasi district with 103 (15.6%) and 136 (16.3%) respectively. Eczema was second in number in Rupandehi district. Acne was third in number in Rupandehi and Nawalparasi but vitiligo was third common dermatosis recorded in Kapilvastu district.CONCLUSION: Dermatophytosis and Eczema are the most common dermatologic disorders in Terai region.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jucms.v2i3.11820 Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences Vol.2(3) 2014: 3-8

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to review the complication rate of percutaneous tracheostomies performed by a single surgeon in a community teaching hospital. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the patients who underwent percutaneous tracheostomy with bronchoscopic guidance in a community hospital setting between 2009 and 2017. Patients older than the age of 18 requiring percutaneous tracheostomy were chosen for this retrospective study. Patients who were medically unstable, had no palpable neck landmarks, and inadequate neck extension were excluded. Indications for percutaneous tracheostomy included patients who had failed to wean from mechanical ventilation, required pulmonary toileting, or in whom airway protection was required. Results: Of the 600 patients who received percutaneous tracheostomy, 589 patients were included in the study. Intraoperative complication (2.6%) and postoperative complication rates (11.4%) compared similarly to literature reported rates. The most common intraoperative complications were bleeding, technical difficulties, and accidental extubation. Bleeding, tube obstruction, and infection were the most common postoperative complications. Overall burden of comorbidity, defined by Charlson Comorbidity Index, and coagulopathy were also found to be associated with higher complication rates. The decannulation rate at discharge was 46.3%. Conclusion: Percutaneous tracheostomy is a safe alternative to open tracheostomies in the community setting for appropriately selected patients.

Introduction: Fungal infection is a common manifestation in this part of the country and worldwide. It is essential to define the epidemiology of fungal infection in a particular environment. Aim: This study aims to analyze the diagnosis of fungal infection carried out in patients attending the histopathology department (UDUTH) Sokoto from 2014 to 2018. Method: This study is a retrospective study of all fungal infection biopsies carried out from 2014 – 2019 in Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto, northwestern Nigeria, a referral centre for the neighbouring northern states Kebbi and Zamfara. Ethical clearance was obtained from the ethical committee of UDUTH, data was collected from histological report cards and analyze manually. Some tissue blocks of the case were retrieved to confirm the diagnosis. A total of 66 requests for fungal diagnosis were received from January 2014 to December 2018, which represent about 0.7% of the total biopsies received over the study period. Result: Out of the 66 of request for fungal diagnosis 32(48.5%) were fungal positive. Subcutaneous mycosis was the most frequent fungal infection with a frequency of 18(56.25%). Males were more frequently affected than females with the frequencies of 18(56.25%) and 14 (43.75%) respectively.
