Background: Eclampsia is a leading cause of maternal death, with classical neurological symptoms that include headache, nausea, vomiting, cortical blindness, coma and convulsions. Computed tomography (CT) scan helps in diagnosing and management of eclampsia in pregnant women. The present study was done with the objective to analyse the findings of CT scan of brain in eclampsia, to identify the prevalence of neurovascular complications in these cases and to determine if these findings can be of value in determining the prognosis of this disorder.Methods: This was a prospective study done on 100 patients with eclampsia. All of the 100 patients were screened with CT scan brain at Institute of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Egmore, Chennai during the period from August 2008 to August 2009. All the data were analyzed and compared between the groups of positive CT scan and negative CT scan observations.Results: Out of 100 patients, positive CT scan findings were noticed in 15 patients. Of them, 7 patients expired, and 8 patients survived after treatment. Of the expired patients (7), 5 of them expired due to brain haemorrhage, and 1 patient died with cerebral oedema and 1 with brain infarction. Cerebral odema (46%) was the most common positive CT finding.  Parietal region of brain was the most common (40%) affected area.Conclusions: CT scan of brain provides valuable information in determining the prognosis and the prevalence of neurovascular complications in Eclampsia.

Seorang pasien dapat didiagnosis penyakit jantung koroner (PJK) melalui empat cara: kematian jantung mendadak, sindrom koroner akut, angina pektoris stabil paska revaskularisasi, dan hasil diagnostik noninvasif (Computed Tomography scan/CT scan koroner, Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography Myocardial Perfusion Imaging/SPECT MPI nuklir atau Magnetic Resonance Imaging/MRI)1. Pemeriksaan noninvasif memegang peranan penting, yaitu sebagai satu-satunya cara mendiagnosis PJK asimtomatik. Oleh sebab itu, pemahaman mengenai interpretasi hasil pemeriksaan noninvasif seperti CT scan koroner, SPECT MPI nuklir atau MRI kardiak dimasukkan dalam kompetensi dasar program pendidikan spesialis jantung dan pembuluh darah menurut Kolegium PERKI.

BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis (AP) is described as acute inflammation of the pancreas with or without peripancreatic abnormalities. The present study describes the role of computed tomography in the evaluation and grading of acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis is a dynamic disease having biphasic mortality peaks due to two overlapping phases, which include early and late due to increased obesity, ageing of population, alcohol abuse, increased gall stone incidence, the worldwide AP incidence is increasing. Most important causes of AP in developing countries such as India include increased alcohol consumption. Contrast enhanced computed tomography plays an important role in diagnosis of the disease and helps in determining the prognosis of the disease. Modified CT severity index scoring system is the most commonly used scoring system for assessment of the severity of the disease. METHODS The present study is a prospective study of patients presenting with signs and symptoms of acute pancreatitis referred to the Department of Radio Diagnosis at Katuri medical college. This study comprised of 50 patients with clinical suspicion / diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, raised pancreatic biochemical parameters like serum amylase and serum lipase. Contrast enhanced computed tomography was performed in these patients, findings reported, and the disease was classified using modified CT scoring index system (MCTSI). RESULTS The mean age of the patients in the present study was 42.3 ± 12.28 years. Most of the patients presented with abdominal epigastric pain, abdominal distension. Acute pancreatitis was divided into acute oedematous pancreatitis and necrotising pancreatitis, the former being common. Complications included, ascites, pleural effusions, splenic vein thrombosis, portal venous thrombosis, and haemorrhages. CONCLUSIONS Contrast enhanced CT is useful to differentiate between oedematous and necrotising types of pancreatitis. The MCTSI helps in better evaluation of pancreatic necrosis grading. The modified computed tomography score index correlation with the development of local and systemic complications in acute pancreatitis is well established. Ideally, conducting contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) after 48 - 72 hours of acute attack, increases the probability of identifying necrotising pancreatitis. CT in particular has an overall accuracy of about 87 % and sensitivity and specificity of 100 % in the recognition of pancreatic necrosis.

A Prospective Study

Objective:This study was to estimate the fetal weight in term pregnancy by clinical methods and ultrasound and to compare the results with actual birth weight (ABW). Material and Methods:This study was conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Anugrah Narayan Magadh Medical College and Hospital, Gaya, Bihar from December 2019 to May 2020. It was a prospective study covering 200 pregnant women at term gestation. Results: Estimated birth weight by abdominal girth × symphysis fundal height (AG × SFH) formula was closest to the ABW (P = 0.060), as compared to the estimated birth weight by Johnson's formula (P = 0.000) and Hadlock's formula (P = 0.000). Therefore, of the three formulae studied, AG × SFH formula had better predictive value as compared to Johnson's and Hadlock's formulae. The accuracy of AG × SFH (Insler's formula) for estimating the fetal weight at term was found to be comparable to Hadlock's formula (P= 0.104). Conclusion: Clinical estimation of birth weight denitely has a role in the management of labor and delivery. AG × SFH is a simple, easy, costeffective, and universally applicable method to predict fetal birth weight which can be used even by paramedics like midwives and also in centers where ultrasound is not available.
