Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive disabling illness characterized by persistent airflow limitation affecting physical, psychological and social aspect of the individual. Amongst the associated co morbidities, depression and anxiety has been identified as common modifiable psychiatric comorbidities of COPD which impacts the patient’s quality of life.  Objectives: To establish the prevalence of depression and anxiety among the COPD patient and determine the association between them. Methodology: The cross sectional study was conducted at Dhulikhel Hospital. We used a convenient sampling method to recruit seventy three COPD participants admitted in the Medicine ward. We interviewed the participants to evaluate anxiety and depression using the Nepali version of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale questionnaire. We considered positive result of anxiety and depression when the Hospital Anxiety and Depression score was above eight.  Results: Depressive and Anxiety symptoms were observed in 30 % and 33% of the participants respectively. Similarly 20% of the participants had both the symptoms of depression and anxiety. The association between depression and anxiety was found to be highly significant (p<0.001). In the multivariate model the odds of depression and anxiety was nine percent increase with every one year increase in age after adjusting for gender and duration of illness. (adjusted OR: 1.07; CI 1.00- 1.17; p-value: 0.03). In an unadjusted model depression was significantly associated to every year increase in age (unadjusted OR: 1.07; CI: 1.00- 1.13; p-value: 0.03) Conclusion: Depression and anxiety is prevalent among COPD patient at Dhulikhel hospital with one fifth of the patient demonstrating both depression and anxiety symptoms.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychological distress of urological and uro-oncological patients undergoing surgery. Methods: Patients who presented to Mercy University Hospital from October 2019–May 2020 were consecutively recruited. Demographic and clinical characteristics including age, gender, marital status, type of surgery (uro-oncology or general urology), endoscopy or open surgery were gathered. Mood was evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale prior to admission, prior to discharge and 6 weeks post-surgery. Results: A total of 118 participants (79.7% male) completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale prior to admission, prior to discharge and at 6 weeks post-surgery. Forty patients (33.9%) underwent uro-oncology-related surgery. At pre-admission 39 patients (33%) fell into a possible-probable clinical category for anxiety and 15 (12.7%) for depression. Older patients had significantly lower anxiety levels than younger patients ( p⩽0.01). There were no differences between patients undergoing uro-oncology or more general urology surgery and levels of anxiety or depression. Repeated measures analysis of variance with age as a covariate indicated no significant differences in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale anxiety scores over time. There was a statistically significant reduction in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale depression scores over the three assessment time points ( p=0.004). Conclusion: Over one-third of patients were experiencing moderate to severe levels of psychological distress pre-surgery – higher than levels previously reported in uro-oncological patients. Surprisingly, there was no difference in anxiety and depression scores in uro-oncology and urology patients. Psychological distress in both uro-oncology and more general urology patients should be considered in the surgical setting. Level of evidence Moderate

Abstract Introduction During the COVID pandemic, the 2019-2020 cohort of final year students were invited to participate in Foundation interim Year 1 placements (FiY1). FiY1 aimed to ease transition to Foundation Year 1 doctor (FY1). We assessed the psychological impact of FiY1 on final year medical students. Method A cross-sectional survey was distributed to final year medical students in the UK between June 4th and July 4th, 2020. The survey contained the following domains: participant demographics, rationale for FiY1 participation, a checklist of the key safety principles for FiY1s, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Perceived Stress scale-4. Results 107 final years responded to the survey. 72.0% (n = 77) of final year students surveyed were working as FiY1s. Final year students participating in FiY1 postings had reduced rates of anxiety (29.9% vs 43.4%, P = 0.186), depression (5.2% vs 20.0%, P = 0.018) and lower perceived stress levels (5.0 vs 7.2, P &lt; 0.001). 19.5% (15/77) FiY1s reported working beyond their competency, 27.3% (22/77) felt unsupervised, but 94.8% (73/77) of FiY1s felt the post prepared them for FY1. Conclusions Students participating in FiY1 postings felt less stressed and depressed than those not participating in the scheme and the majority felt it was preparing them for FY1.

The Mean

The frequency of spontaneous genital arousal (GA) and persistent genital arousal disorder (PGAD) in women is unknown. The aim of this study was to conduct an anonymous survey to assess the frequency and nature of spontaneous GA and PGAD in women attending a walk-in sexual health clinic in London. Female patients completed a questionnaire, which included demographic information, medical, psychiatric and gynaecology history, the hospital anxiety and depression scale, and a somatization scale. Patients were then asked to complete three questions regarding spontaneous and persistent GA. Any patient with one or more symptoms then answered questions about the distress, intensity and duration of sensations. Ninety-six subjects participated. The mean age was 28.97 years. Thirty-two women (33.3%) answered ‘yes’ to at least one question regarding spontaneous or persistent GA and six women (6.3%) women answered ‘yes’ to all three questions. Only one subject fulfilled all five diagnostic criteria for PGAD. In conclusion, women report a high rate of spontaneous GA in the absence of desire or excitement. This has not been well described previously. A small proportion of women report multiple features of spontaneous and persistent GA, with chronicity over years, but without distress in most cases. Larger studies are needed.

The Difference

Background: Haemoglobin of foetus increases with advancing gestational age. During pregnancy, fetal demand for iron increases maternal daily iron requirement from first trimester to third trimester. Late cord clamping may result in delivery of extra blood as well as iron to newborn. The cause of worry here is that maternal anaemia is a significant cause of direct and indirect morbidity and mortality both for pregnant mother and her foetus/neonate.Methods: To determine maternal and neonatal haemoglobin status we conducted a cross sectional study comprising 217 pregnant women and their children in Ranchi, Jharkhand, India.Results: Mean neonatal haemoglobin in controls was 18.13±1.14 g/dl whereas that in cases was 17.21±1.38 g/dl and the difference was statistically significant. Among the 97 cases 23 mothers had babies with neonatal haemoglobin below 14g/dl. In controls only 17 out of 120 mothers had babies with neonatal haemoglobin below 14g/dl (p value<0.01).Conclusions: Present study demonstrated that the neonatal haemoglobin is lower in anemic mothers and that the decrease appears to be proportional to the degree of anemia.
