Abstract Introduction Ear, nose and throat (ENT)pathologies can present with proptosis as the early manifestation. The majority of ENT pathologies present with ocular manifestations, due to close anatomical relationship. Objective To study proptosis in ENT disorders in terms of etiology, pathogenesis, and management. Methods The present article is a prospective study conducted at a tertiary care center, in Telangana, India. Patients presenting with proptosis secondary to ENT disorders were thoroughly evaluated and subjected to surgical exploration after providing a signed informed consent. Results Sixty cases of proptosis secondary to ENT disorders have been reported. The most common cause was sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma followed by juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma and allergic fungal rhinosinusitis. Conclusion Many ENT disorders can present with proptosis. Proptosis needs to be evaluated completely for proper management and to limit the morbidity associated with it.

Introduction: Ear diseases are common in children mainly due to altered anatomy of Eustachian tube which is straighter in children as compared to that in adults. However, the cause of hearing loss in children is more varied, including the etiologies. This study was done to find out the pattern of ear diseases in paediatric age group attending ear, nose and throat OPD in a tertiary care centre in Pokhara, Nepal. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective study done in paediatric patients attending ENT OPD over a period of one year from January 2010 to January 2011. The diagnoses were made on the basis of history and clinical examination. Results were expressed in numbers and percentages. Results: Out of 1632 Pediatric ENT patients, 944 had ear diseases, 59.2% were males and 40.8% females. Wax (33.4%) was the commonest diagnosis followed by Chronic suppurative otitis media (24.3%) and Acute ottitis media (13%). Conclusion: Ear diseases are most common condition in ENT OPD among paediatric age group. Wax, CSOM and ASOM were the three most common ear diseases. J. Nepal Paediatr.

A Prospective Study

INTRODUCTION:Carcinoma of the penis is a malignancy with a wide range of clinical and pathological presentations. It constitutes a major substantial health concern in many developing countries including India. Proper evaluation of both the primary lesion and lymph nodes is critical because nodal involvement is the most important factor for survival. This study was undertaken to [1,2,3] determine incidence with age, religion, and socioeconomic status and to study risk factors and its management . METHODS:A descriptive study was conducted among 30 patients with proven carcinoma penis for a period of 2 years. RESULTS: In my study the maximum incidence was found to be in the age group of 50 to 70. All cases were Hindus and Muslims were free of disease may be due to early circumcision. In my study 86.6% of the patients associated with carcinoma penis were smokers. The commonest symptom at presentation was proliferative growth (76%). The most common site of origin was the Glans penis. The average time interval between onset of symptoms and seeking medical advice is 7 Months. The most common surgery performed was partial penectomy (73.3%) and a majority of the biopsy report showed SCC. Moderately and poorly differentiated tumors had a very strong association with nodal involvement. CONCLUSION: Carcinoma penis can be avoided by better penile hygiene and circumcision. It is a curable disease, if detected early and treated properly. The surgery is the mainstay of treatment. Creating awareness in public is the only way to reduce mortality and morbidity due to the carcinoma of the penis.

Introduction: Eclampsia is a preventable and treatable cause of maternal morbidity and mortality with poor feto-maternal outcome in developing countries. Despite development in the level of health education expertise in human resources and institutional obstetric care in our country, the delay in early recognition of the problem, transportation to proper health facility and getting proper expert care are major hurdles to reduce complications. Therefore we decided to study feto-maternal outcomes in our setting.Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional hospital based study carried out in Nobel Medical College, Biratnagar, from 17th June 2014 to 16th June 2015. Details and data obtained from Medical Record Section were analysed. All patients with eclampsia were included and fetomaternal outcomes measured in terms of complications. Simple descriptive statistical method was applied for analysis.Results: Among 8,066 deliveries, 112 had eclampsia with incidence of 13.8/1000 deliveries. Majority (41%) were of <19 years of age. Above 90% were unbooked. Aoubt 63.4% were primiparas and 83% had antepartum eclampsia. Eclamptic fits were more common (41.6%) in 37-40 weeks period of gestation. Fits to delivery interval was more than six hours in 89.1% women and 69.3% women underwent caesarean delivery. About 18.9% women developed eclampsia related complications. Common causes of maternal deaths (5.36%) were pulmonary edema, aspiration pneumonia, cerebrovascular accidents and HELLP syndrome. Perinatal death was nine percent.Conclusions: Although the obstetric care facilities are improving with time, the feto-maternal outcomes are still poor in our country. Therefore early recognition and proper management are vital to tackle this challenge. Keywords: eclampsia; fetomaternal outcomes; retrospective analysis. | PubMed

Cardiac Manifestations

Background: Hypothyroidism is the most common pathological hormone deficiency. To study various cardiac manifestations in overt and subclinical hypothyroidism.Methods: The cross-sectional analytic study is carried out on 60 patients of hypothyroid subjects in indoor facility of general medicine department in SMIMER hospital.Results: This study shows positive correlation between thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level, electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiographic findings. In this study, there is female predominance, ECG findings most commonly suggestive of sinus bradycardia and ECHO findings are most commonly suggestive of diastolic dysfunction with pericardial effusion.Conclusions: The early recognition and early initiation of treatment of hypothyroidism may helpful to lowering heart changes as hypothyroidism is reversible cause for cardiac manifestation.
