Radiographic Contrast Media

Background: Radiocontrast media are used extensively nowadays to visualize internal organs. Currently, non-ionic iodinated contrast media are used which are generally considered to be safe but some adverse reactions have been reported. Thus, the present study was carried out to analyze the nature and incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to radiographic contrast media in a teaching hospital. Methods:An observational study carried out for a period of six months in a teaching hospital. Contrast media induced adverse reactions were analyzed in terms of affected organs, rate, causality assessment, severity and preventability. The treatment and outcomes of adverse events were also recorded. Naranjo Probability Scale was used to evaluate the relationship between the contrast agent used and the suspected ADR. The severity of the suspected ADRs was determined using Hartwig Scale and preventability was assessed using modified Schumock and Thornton criterion. Results:A total of 15 suspected ADRs occurred in 11 patients with an incidence of 1.4%. It included 5 (45.4%) males and 6 (54.5%) females (p < 05). The highest percentage (72.7 %) of ADRs was seen in adult patients, the mean age being 40.8 years. Vomiting (33.3%) was the most common ADR noted followed by severe nausea and rashes. 64.7 % of ADRs were categorized as probable and 35.3 % were possible. Adverse reactions required treatment in 46.6% patients. There was no fatality reported. Conclusion:The reactions observed were mild to moderate in severity and occurred within 30 minutes of the administration of the contrast.

Maternal Mortality And Morbidity

BACKGROUND: Maternal health is an important aspect for the development of any country in terms of increasing equity and reducing poverty. For reduction of maternal mortality and morbidity Government of India launched National health mission (NHM). Some of the major initiatives under NHM are– ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist), JSY/JSSK (Janani Suraksha Yojana / Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakaram), National mobile medical units, National ambulance services. METHODS: A retrospective observational study was performed in department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, G.S.V.M Medical College, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh which is a low performing state, during the period of 2018 to 2019. A total of 5134 obstetric patients including 1032 low general condition patients were included over duration of 20 months since January 2018 to august 2019. This observational study collected information regarding number of deliveries in different years in this tertiary care hospital, effect on availability of health facilities and antenatal care to the antenatal women after introduction of JSY, ASHA and ambulance services. CONCLUSIONS: After JSY there is major difference in OPD admission and institutional delivery rate. Ambulance services had major contributory role in reducing maternal mortality and morbidity. There is need to improve performance of ASHA by proper supervision and monitoring.

Carcinoma Breast

Background: There is an ever increasing incidence in cases of carcinoma breast in developing countries, however no definitive cause is found. Since it presents as painless lump, patients neglect the disease and come to hospital often in late stages. This study was planned to investigate the causes for late presentation of the patients with carcinoma breast in North Indian population.Methods: This is a prospective observational study; it included fifty cases of carcinoma breast proven by FNAC/Trucut biopsy. All these cases were admitted in the department of general surgery and thoroughly examined and investigated. The details of investigations, management, morbidity & mortality were noted down & results calculated with appropriate statistical analysis.Results: Most of the female patients were in the age group of 31-60 years. Maximum patients presented with breast lumps, but most of them had lump more than 5 cm (T3) in size with spread to axillary lymph nodes N1 or N2. Surgery in the form of Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), adjuvant & neo-adjuvant Chemotherapy as per the stage of the disease and hormonal therapy in the form of Tamoxifen was given.Conclusions: Poor treatment compliance in the form of irregularity to turn up for chemotherapy cycles has resulted in more number of mastectomies. Numbers of patients lost to follow up were more due to unaffordability of the cost incurred and lack of awareness. True mortality rate and recurrence rate could not be commented upon as a longer period of follow up was required.
