Background: We aimed to find out the age-related differences in risk profile among Bangladeshi adults suffering from stable angina.Methods: An observational study was conducted in three different districts in Bangladesh (Feni, Noakhali and Chandpur) through the medical camps during the period from 1st February 2018 to 31st July 2018. Data of 764 stable angina patients was analysed.Results: The male to female ratio in both groups was 4:1. The mean age of the study population in younger group was 34.0±5.2 years and in older group 57.0±6.3 years. Smokers were more in younger group (70.0% vs. 46.0%; p=0.032). Hypertension was less in the younger group (38.0% vs. 58.0%) (p=0.045). Presence of diabetes was higher in the older age group (34.0% vs. 4.0%) (p=0.001). The total cholesterol was higher in older group (182.9±33.1) vs. (171.1±24.8 mg/dl) (p=0.047). 68% of patients of older group and 38% of younger group had stenosis in left anterior descending artery (p=0.003). The involvement of left circumflex and right coronary artery in older age group were higher (56% and 66% respectively) than those in younger group (36% and 40% respectively) (p=0.045 and p=0.009). Patients had multiple risk factors like hypertension, family history of cardiovascular disease, smoking and ischemic heart disease (IHD).Conclusions: This study found that the incidence of IHD is very among the district-level diabetic patients of Bangladesh and this incidence increases with the rise of age.

Ear foreign body is a common ENT emergency and a challenge also to otolaryngologist worldwide. Prompt and appropriate management of it can reduce the morbidity. An observational retrospective study of 148 cases of foreign body in the ear done in Comilla Medical College Hospital and two upazilla health complexes (Nangalkot and Chowddagram) of Bangladesh within the period of January 2014 to December 2014 to evaluate the nature, mode of presentation, technique of removal and outcome of it. Data were collected from hospital records including age, sex of patient and mode and time of presentation, nature of foreign body, management outcome and complication, and the result showed that children o funder 15 year age group were mostly affected (60%), among them highest incidence were in 5-10 year age group (25%) with male to female ratio 1:1.28. The most common foreign body was the seeds of various vegetables (25.67%) followed by plastic beads (18.24%) and cotton bud (15.54%), the right ear affected more (54%). Almost half of them (47.97%) presented with history of insertion of a foreign body and most of them (91.98%) were removed in OPD or emergency department under direct vision and remaining required general anesthesia. Despite a high proportion of cases managed in the office setting, complication rates were within acceptable level. It is inversely proportional to the skill of the personnel, number of attempts &availability of equipment. Key to successful outcome are prompt help by well-trained doctor and otolaryngological equipment set up.Medicine Today 2017 Vol.29(2): 5-8
