Epidemiological Characteristics

Background: Acne is a chronic, self-limiting inflammatory disease of pilosebaceous unit. It is multifactorial, of which Propionibacterium acne and Sebum play an important role in etiopathogenesis. Aim: To study the clinico-epidemiological characteristics of patients with acne vulgaris attending the Out Patient Department of Dermatology at a tertiary care hospital, in Tamil Nadu state of India. Material and Methods: This is a Cross sectional study conducted in patients who are attending to the Outpatient Department of Dermatology in Meenakshi Medical College and Research Institute, Tamil Nadu. A total of 50 apparently healthy male and non-pregnant females aged between 12 years and 35 years with clinical diagnosis of acne grade 1 and 2 with facial lesions only are selected and recruited for the study. Pregnant and lactating women, patients who are hypersensitive to retinoids and presented with any other skin condition that would interfere with diagnosis or assessment of acne were excluded from the study. Study subjects were divided into two groups. One groups was treated with Adapalene and the other group was treated with Tretinoin. Both the groups were compared for the clinico-epidemiological characteristics. Results: A total of 50 patients were recruited for the study (n=50). Out of the 50 patients, 20 were males (40%) and 30 were females; 28 patients were students (that is 56%) and 22 (that is 44%) were completed their studies or not going to school or college for studies. Among the 50 patients 32 were unmarried and 18 were married. Based on the duration of Acne, subjects were divided into three groups: - below 1 year, 1-2 year and above 2 years. All the clinico-epidemiological parameters were compared for analysis. Conclusion: It was observed that 24% of the study population showed a positive family history of acne and diet is the major precipitating factor for the development of Acne among all the affected patients.

Risk Predictors

Background: The leading cause of death in the world is coronary heart disease (CHD). In India, CHD manifests almost a decade earlier than in Western countries. Gender differences play an important role in the pathophysiology of AMI. Body weight and family history are claimed to be the indicators of relative risk of mortality. Aims and Objective: To look for the age and gender distribution pattern in patients with recent diagnosed AMI and to find out the association of some of the risk factors like BMI, family history. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital with 50 recent diagnosed AMI patients of either sex as cases after considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The biochemical parameters were measured by validated methods. Results: On statistical analysis, 58% of total AMI cases occurred before 50 years of age; out of which 18% belong to 31 - 40 years, 40% belong to 41- 50 years. Out of total 50 AMI cases, 60% is male and 40% is female. Obesity seen in 14% cases and 56% is overweight; 16% having positive family history. Conclusion: The study indicates a trend of early age onset AMI. Increased body weight and positive family history can be the risk predictors. It is suggested that younger age males and premenopausal women should not be ignored regarding the risk of MI. Further studies are required for verification.
