Background: Confusion lies over the diagnosis when the patients show ring enhancing lesions of the brain on CT scan. Some consider it as tuberculoma while some consider it as cysticercosis. More studies are required to give clear picture of ring enhancing lesions of the brain. The objective was to study clinical profile and etiology ring enhancing lesion in CT scan brain at a tertiary care center.Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of General Medicine, SVS Medical College, Mahabubnagar district which is a tertiary care referral hospital in the state of Telangana. This study was done during the period from July 2006 to October 2008. A total of 50 cases were taken up for this study. After selecting the patients for the study, already prepared protocol was followed strictly for each patient. The protocol contained identification data, detailed history and examination of central nervous system and peripheral signs for tuberculosis and cysticercosis.Results: The males were more than the females and 14-24 years age group was most affected. The most common presentation of ring enhancing lesions was seizures alone in 72% of the cases. Out of these cases the most common presentation was generalized tonic-clonic seizure in 40% of the cases. Majority i.e. 45 had single ring enhancing lesion on CT scan of the brain. The most common etiology of the ring enhancing lesion was found out to be neurocysticercosis in 54% of the cases of ring enhancing lesions.Conclusions: Ring enhancing lesions should be considered in differential diagnosis of those who present with seizures in endemic areas like India.

Background: The chronic complications of diabetes are broadly divided into microvascular and macrovascular, with the former having much higher prevalence than latter. Microvascular complications include neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy. Objectives of the study was to assess the clinical and biochemical profile of renal involvement in diabetic patient and complications due to diabetes mellites.Methods: This was a hospital based prospective study done in which total of 250 cases attended and admitted at general medicine department, Government Medical College, Sir. T. Hospital, Bhavnagar. Study included Diabetic patient having age - >12 years, Both Gender and Patient who gives consent for study.Results: Almost 54.8% having age between 41-60 years, Male: female ratio 0.87:1 and 44.0% were to ‘obese 2’ Body mass index (BMI) category. Around 22.4% participants have retinopathy, 30.0% have anemia, 62.4% have HTN and 26.8% have Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD). Almost 59.6% participants have S. creatinine level was 1.3 to 4 mg/dL and 43.6% have stage 5 of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).Conclusions: Incidence of DM Nephropathy increase with age. With increasing numbers of years of diagnosed DM, the chances of DM Nephropathy are increased and as the duration of DM as well as duration of uncontrolled glycemia increases GFR decreases and DM Nephropathy progresses. HbA1c is a useful marker to account for the glycemic control over the past months, and hence the better indicator to the development as well as progression of DM Nephropathy.

Objective: The objective of the study was to know about the etiology of acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AUFI) or fever without focus in children admitted at tertiary care hospital. Methods: A study was conducted at medical college, Jhalawar, for a period of 3 months. Pediatric patients presenting with fever for less than or equal to 7 days duration without focus, who required hospitalization were included in this study. Results: A total of 200 children enrolled in study. Male-to-female ratio was 1.9:1. Mean age of children was 7.21±4.2 years. About 142 (71%) patients presented after 3 days of fever. Average duration of fever before admission was 4.62±1.78 days. The most common cause of fever of short duration (less than 7 days) was dengue fever 74 (37%) followed by malaria 58 (29%) and typhoid fever 36 (18%). About 26 (13%) patients had mixed infection. Out of 200 patients, 70 (35%) patients had splenomegaly, 66 (33%) had hepatomegaly, and 26 (13%) patients had both hepatosplenomegaly. Conclusion: The common etiology of AUFI with short duration in children was dengue, malaria, and typhoid. Vector control measures, drinking water supply, and sanitation should be improved to prevent vector-borne and water-borne diseases.

Introduction: Hemoptysis is a common but distressing and alarming symptom in a patient. Data related to detail clinical profile and follow up study of hemoptysis are lacking. Objective: This study was carried out to see the clinical profile of patients with hemoptysis and to study the recurrences in tertiary care centre of province 1 within the study period. Methodology: This was a prospective observational study conducted at the department of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine of Nobel Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Biratnagar, Nepal. The study was carried out between 30th January 2017 to 1st February 2020. For follow up of recurrences of hemoptysis, the patients were asked for regular chest clinic follow up and regular telephone calls made to the patients, in case, patients could not attend the chest clinic for any reason. Results: A total of 150 patients were enrolled over the last 3 years. Among them 75% were male. The maximum number of patients (27%) were between 31-40 years of age group. Old sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) (32%) and bronchiectasis (28%) were the commonest cause of hemoptysis. Lung cancer (10%) and active PTB (10%) were other causes of hemoptysis. CT scan of the chest provided the highest (84%) diagnostic yield. Most of the cases were having mild hemoptysis (50%). 17% of the patients in our study had recurrences of hemoptysis. Conclusion: Old PTB sequelae with bronchiectasis (fibrobronchiectasis) were the commonest cause of hemoptysis. Conservative management worked most effectively in controlling hemoptysis, if used properly.

Background- Electric burns and injuries are the result of electric current passing through the body. Temporary or permanent damage can occur to the skin, tissues, and major organs. Methods- This prospective study was carried out on patients admitted in burn unit of department of surgery M.G. Hospital associated with Dr. S.N. Medical College Jodhpur. Records of the patients admitted from January 2018 to December 2018 were studied. Bed head tickets of the patients evaluated in detail. Results- In our study out of 113 patients maximum no. of patients were in age group of 21-30 years 44 (38.94%) followed by age group <11 years in 21 (18.58%) patients and age group of > 60 years in only 3 (2.65%).39 (34.51%) patients were farmer and 15 (13.27%) were electrician in out of 113 total patients, while 37 (32.74%) were without any occupation. 65 (57.52%) cases of high voltage (HV) electrical injury and 48 (42.48%) cases were of low voltage (LV) electrical injury. Conclusion- Morbidity leading to permanent disabilities make the person physically dependent on others. It can be prevented by educating the people about the proper handling to electric circuits & devices. Proper communication among the electricians may help in lowering such accidents. Proper rehabilitation of the handicapped person & employment to the member of the affected family may reduce the social burden caused by such electricity concerned accidents.

Abstract: Objective: To determine the prevalence of chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) in a tertiary care center and to identify the clinical profile of chronic AF in hospitalized patients. Methods: All patients admitted to Mamata General Hospital in medicine/cardiology wards with chronic AF (persistent and permanent) during the period January 2012 to December 2012 were included into the study. The principal exclusion criteria were new onset AF and acute AF. Results: During the study period, 49 patients were admitted with chronic AF with an average of 45.44 years. A slight female dominance was seen with male: female ratio of 1:1.2. Half of the patients (51%) were below the age 50 years. The elderly age group comprised of only 16.3% of cases. The commonest presenting complaint was dyspnea followed by palpitation. Rheumatic valvular heart disease was seen more commonly in people below the age of 50 years whereas hypertension and ischemic heart disease after 50 years. Heart failure was the commonest condition associated with the chronic AF and was the cause of hospitalization in almost fifty percent of cases Conclusion: Chronic AF is still a cause of concern in India in people below the age of 50 years due to high prevalence of rheumatic fever inspite of advances in the medical field.
