<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Nasal cavity may contain wide variety of masses within by which this organ differs from the rest of the body. Benign nasal and paranasal sinus masses are commonly encountered in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to classify various types of sinonasal masses and characterize their clinico-epidemiological profile in a tertiary care hospital of Jharkhand. The objectives of the study was<strong> </strong> to evaluate the clinico-epidemiological profile of nasal masses in patients attending ear, nose, throat and head and neck surgery (ENT &amp; HNS) OPD of Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi from January 2013 to December 2015)  and to classify the nasal masses according to their percentage of occurrence<span lang="EN-IN">. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This retrospective study was designed for evaluation of clinico-epidemiological data collected from admission register of ENT Dept.

Epidemiological Profile

Background: Snakebite is a common medical emergency and an occupational hazard for majority of Indian population especially farmers. Epidemiological data on snake bite from the East India is sparse.Methods: This hospital based prospective study was conducted from March 2013 to February 2014. 200 cases of snakebite poisoning were admitted to the hospital during the study period.Results: Majority of victims belonged to the age group of 15-45 (60%), resident of rural areas (92%) and were involved in agricultural activities (60%). The study population was predominately bitten outdoors (66%), in the lower extremity (86%), at night (82%). Respiratory muscle paralysis (66.7%), ptosis (66.7%), coagulopathy (60%), acute renal failure (55.6%), shock (55.6%) were the signs associated with poor prognosis.Conclusions: Snakebite is an important occupational hazard, though preventable in principle remains to be one of the common medical emergencies.

Paederus Dermatitis

Paederus dermatitis is a form of irritant contact dermatitis due to contact with certain insects of the genus Paederus presenting with mostly erythematous linear lesions of sudden onset on exposed parts of the body. To study the clinico epi Aim: demiological features in patients with Paederus dermatitis. A retrospective analysis of clinicoepidemiological Materials & Methods: features of patients affected with Paederus dermatitis who had attended the Dermatology OPD, in a tertiary care hospital between January 2018 to December 2019 was done. All the required data had been collected from the OPD records and details were tabulated and analysed. A total of 56 patients had been affected with Result: Paederus dermatitis during the study period, of which 32 were males and 24 were females. 41out of 56 (73.21%) of patients presented between the months of August and December. Most common age group affected were between 11 to 30 yrs, with front and back of neck being the most common affected sites. In 42 out of the 56 patients the lesions resolved with post inammatory hyperpigmentation. Conclusion: Paederus dermatitis is a common condition that is often misdiagnosed and hence awareness is required for the clinicians and the general public to prevent it.
