Detailed Clinical History

Background: Dengue is a very common seasonal public health problem causing significant mortality every year. In 2019 an outbreak occurred in Bangladesh. Few new manifestations and multi organ involvement were found. Objective: The objective of the study was to see the clinical and laboratory manifestations and outcome of dengue fever in a medical college hospital. Methods: It was an observational study in a medical college hospital in Bangladesh. Study period was one year. The patients were confirmed cases of dengue. Apart from detailed clinical history, examination of patient, relevant investigations and follow up was done until discharge. Result: Total number of cases was 98. Out of them 62 (63.2%) were male and 36 (36.73%) were female. Fever was most common (100%) manifestation and duration of fever ranged from 5 to 8 days with a mean duration of 6.3 (± 1.0) days. Among other symptoms generalized body ache was most common (63, 64.3%). Generalized weakness was present in 60 cases (61.2% cases) Bleeding manifestations was present in 41 cases; abdominal manifestations were found in 11 cases. Blood for NSI was positive in 94 (95.9%) cases; most cases (71, 72.4%) became positive between 2nd to 4th day. Ninety (91.9%) cases developed thrombocylopcnia and it started at 5th day in 45 (45.9%) cases. Blood transfusion was given in 12 (12.2%) cases & Platelet transfusion was given in 3 (3.1%) cases. Complete recovery was in 96 (98%) cases and Death occurred in 2 (2.0%) cases. Conclusion: Bleeding was a dominant presentation. Some atypical manifestations like gastro intestinal features were also observed. These findings will help physicians in early diagnosis of dengue. Bang Med J Khulna 2020: 53 : 3-7

Background: The aim of this study was to study the prevalence of GDM in a tertiary care centre based on 75 gm OGCT and to analyse the socio demographic and clinical profile of GDM using 75 gm OGCT in a tertiary care centre.Methods: This study was conducted in the antenatal OPD of Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital from October 2014 to July 2015, a period of 10 months on 300 antenatal women. The mothers were screened using 75gm 2-hour OGCT once during each trimester and the results analysed.Results: The prevalence of GDM in this study was 3.4%. Out of this 47-50% of women with GDM were of the age group 26-30 years. 6% of the women had BMI of >25 kg/m2. The incidence of GDM was found to be high in multigravidas and 70% belonged to class V socioeconomic status. Using the 75 gm OGTT 20%, 40% and 40% were diagnosed during the I, II and III trimesters respectively. 90% of the women delivered at term and total caesarean section rate was 30.6%. Mean birth weight of the babies was 2.9 kg. 70% of the diagnosed GDM women were treated using Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT).Conclusions: 75gm OGCT recommended by WHO can be used to detect significant number of cases of GDM.

Suboptimal Care

Background: Peripartum hysterectomy is a life-saving procedure resorted to when conservative measures fail to control obstetric haemorrhage. Several predisposing factors, suboptimal care and lack of infrastructure may lead to this emergency procedure. We wanted to find out factors associated with peripartum hysterectomy and the adverse maternal outcomes at our centre.Methods: A retrospective case series analysis of 40 cases of peripartum hysterectomy performed over a period of 5 years from January 2010 to December 2014 at Government Medical College Hospital, Thrissur, Kerala was done.Results: The incidence of peripartum hysterectomy was 0.29%. The most common indication for peripartum hysterectomy was hysterectomy was uterine atony (50%). Thirty-five women (88%) were between 20 and 35 years. Most of the subjects were unbooked. There were two maternal deaths (case fatality rate of 5%) following peripartum hysterectomy during this period. All the subjects required blood transfusion.Conclusions: Prompt performance hysterectomy before the patient’s clinical condition deteriorates is the key to success. The incidence of adherent placenta is increasing, so every effort should be taken to reduce the caesarean section rates globally.

Background: Hypospadias is a common congenital anomaly in which the anterior urethra is incompletely developed and does not extend to the tip of the glans penis. The present study was aimed to study the clinical prole of hypospadias. Settings and Design:This was a prospective, observational study. Methods: This prospective study was conducted at Department of General Surgery, LLR & Associated Hospitals, GSVM Medical College, Kanpur, India, from January 2019 to October 2020, on 72 patients of hypospadias, after taking clearance from the Institutional Ethical Committee, and taking proper informed consent for participation. Data collected for each patient included age, sex, demography, symptoms with duration, and relevant past and treatment history. Results: The most common age of presentation was between 1-5years of age (48.61%, n=35). Distal hypospadias (DH) was the most common site. (47.22%, n=34). 4.16% (n=3) patients presented with urethrocutaneous stula. Chordee was more commonly seen in patients with mid & proximal penile hypospadias (64.70%, n=33). In the present study, 4.1% (n=3) had associated undescended testis, 4.1% (n=3) had an associated bid scrotum and 1.3% (n=1) had an associated congenital hernia. Conclusions: Most cases of hypospadias present before 10 years of age. Distal hypospadias is the most common type. Chordee is associated most commonly with proximal penile and mid penile hypospadias. It may also be associated with other congenital anomalies like, undescended testis, bid scrotum or congenital hernias

Twin Pregnancies

Background: Multiple pregnancy remains one of the highest risk situations for the mother, foetus and neonate despite recent advances in obstetrics, perinatal and neonatal care. Twin pregnancies have increased rates of obstetric and perinatal complications compared to singletons Objective of present study was comparative assessment of fetomaternal outcome in twin pregnancy with singleton pregnancy in Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department of S.M.S. Medical College, Jaipur.Methods: This was a hospital based, prospective observational study done in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. S.M.S. Medical College, Jaipur from April 2015 to March 2016. 150 women with twin pregnancy and 150 women with singleton pregnancies at gestation age of 28 weeks and above coming for delivery and consented for the study were included in the study. Women with chronic medical disorder or chronic hypertension were excluded from the study. Maternal and neonatal outcome recorded and analysed.Results: Occurrence of twin in our study was 2.82%. Risk of preterm labour was about nine times higher in twin pregnancies than the singleton (OR: 2.74, 95% CI; 1.4494-5.1884, P value 0.001). The risk of premature rupture of membrane was increased by 2.74 times in twin pregnancies (OR:2.74; 95% CI: 1.4494-5.1884, p value .001). There was 3-time increased risk of malpresentation (OR 3.14; CI:1.7184-5.7480, p value .00002) and 2.28 times increase in hypertensive disorder (OR 2.28; 95% CI: 1.0727-4.8823, p value .03) in twin pregnancies. The risk of asphyxia and septicaemia was 2.5 times more in twins.Conclusions: Twin pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy with more complications in mother and foetus and is a great challenge for obstetrician. So, it should be managed carefully at tertiary care centre to reduce the maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity.
