<p class="abstract"><strong>Background: </strong>Evaluate functional outcome of use of platelet rich plasma versus steroid in frozen shoulder.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods: </strong>The study was conducted in Department of Orthopaedics in RNT Medical College, Udaipur. Adult patients with periarthritis shoulder (frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis) admitted to Trauma centre in Maharana Bhupal Government hospital attached with R.N.T. Medical College, Udaipur were included in this study after obtaining their informed, valid written consent. This is a prospective study from October 2018 to February 2020.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Our study demonstrated that PRP is not inferior to CS in any of the measured parameters. Both of the groups experienced similar benefits from the injection therapies with no statistical differences detected in ROM or VAS scores at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. No adverse effects were detected in either of the two groups.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions: </strong>We can conclude that both PRP and MPS showed efficacy on treating frozen shoulder. The current study provides strong evidence in support of a statistically significant effect of platelet concentrates in the treatment of frozen shoulder in vivo where steroid contraindicated or refused by patient. However, inj. Methylprednisolone has sudden onset of action because of anti-inflammatory action with respect to inj. PRP, so has better result at 1 week follow up post injection. But in long term (at 3 months follow up) inj. PRP has better effect in compared to Inj. MPS.</p>

Background: Febrile illness in elderly patients in hospitals is a challenge to the physician for diagnosis and treatment due to high morbidity as well as mortality and it increases if the febrile illness is prolonged. So proper evaluation and effective management is necessary for a better outcome. Keeping in mind the scarcity of studies in elderly febrile illness in India this study was taken up.Method: A prospective study was designed in medical ICU of S.C.B Medical college and Hospital, Cuttack Odisha, India. 50 patients were included in this study from July 2007 to December 2008. Institutional Ethics Committee cleared the study.Results: In 50 elderly (Age>60 yrs) patients of prolonged febrile illness, 36 (72%) were male and 14 (28%) were female. All had fever for >21 days. Pallor was the commonest sign (62%). 30 patients had infectious etiology, 15 had malignancies. Tuberculosis was the commonest infection (28%) comprising of 46.66% of infectious etiology with Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) in 20% and Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis (ETB) in 26.66%. Malignancies accounted for 30% of cases with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) in 33.33% being the commonest amongst the malignancies. On follow up of 50 patients 21 (42%) got cured.Conclusion: Febrile illness in elderly needs carefully evaluation as infections account for  most of the cases and Tuberculosis in our part of India as a major cause in these patients is treatable.

Background Frozen shoulder is a chronic fibrosing condition of the capsule of the shoulder joint. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to compare the result of treatment of frozen shoulder by Hydraulic Distention under local anesthesia with steroid and intra articular steroid alone. Sample Size: 60 patients were taken in this study and were divided into two groups. Duration and Setting: The study was conducted in 2005-2006 treated in the department of orthopaedic, Janaki medical college Teaching Hospital, Janakpur. Materials and Methods: It was a prospective, observational, comparative and clinical study. Sixty patients were selected from Dhanusha District of Janakpur, Nepal. They were divided into two groups. Since January 2005 to January 2006 periods in the department of orthopedics surgery, Janaki Medical College & Teaching Hospital, Janakpur. The Group I was treated by hydraulic distention of glenohumeral joint with 50ml normal saline with steroid, oral medicines (analgesics and muscle relaxants) and exercises. Patients in group II were treated by intra-articular steroid followed by oral medicines (analgesics and muscle relaxants) and exercises. Results: The average age of patients in group I was 52 ± 2.16 years and 50 ± 2.03 in group II. There were 37 (63%) females and 23 (37%) males in our study. Female to male ratio was 1.7:1. All patients in group noted immediate pain relief with excellent return of range of motion (ROM) and resumption of normal sleep. At the end of 45 days of follow up all patients had returned to their normal daily activities. Most of them got excellent ROM and pain relief. All patients in group II noted immediate pain relief and resumption of almost normal sleep. At the end of 45 days of follow up most of the patient presented with good relief of pain but could not return to most of their normal activities because of less improvement in ROM. Conclusions: Hydraulic distension technique is quick, safe and gives early results, so it should be considered first for the treatment of frozen shoulder.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is one of the most common ear diseases in developing countries with a varying incidence of 3% to 57%. It the disease process is further divided into mucosal type and squamosal type depending on clinical presentation. The mainstay of therapy in CSOM remains surgery which aims at eradication of disease and restoring the hearing mechanism. The main objective of our study was to evaluate the changes and impact of tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy as a surgical treatment modality in mucosal type of CSOM.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A prospective study was conducted in Rajarajeshwari Medical College and Hospital between November 2015 and June 2017, involving 50 patients with mucosal type of chronic otitis media. These patients, after complete clinical examination and hearing analysis, underwent tympanoplasty with cortical mastoidectomy. Follow-up of the patients was done at one month and three months after the surgery where the parameters recorded preoperatively were assessed.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The graft uptake three months after the surgery was 94%. Patients reported a subjective improvement in symptoms of ear discharge, decreased hearing, earache and tinnitus to 94%, 70%, 86% and 78% respectively. There was hearing improvement in ears that had discharge preoperatively and those ears that did not.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Chronic suppurative otitis media is a very common problem and it can lead to recurrent ear discharge and hearing problems. Timely intervention is necessary as early diagnosis results in good surgical outcomes and can make an impact on patient’s quality of life.</p>

BACKGROUND: Adhesive capsulitis is a debilitating condition which causes the capsule of the gleno-humeral joint to thicken and contract progressively. The effectiveness of various non-operative methods has been demonstrated to improve the pain, range of motion (ROM) and functional status of patients with adhesive capsulitis. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to review recent evidence on the efficacy of physiotherapy interventions in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis. METHODS: PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Science Direct and Cochrane databases were searched for studies published since 2013. The search terms included: Frozen shoulder, adhesive capsulitis, physical therapy, rehabilitation, manual therapy, mobilization, exercise, education, and electrotherapy. The search was limited to studies published in English and studies that used human subjects. RESULTS: Quality scores of 33 articles were reviewed according to the Sackett’s critical appraisal criteria and the grades of recommendation were determined for physiotherapy interventions used in the studies. CONCLUSION: The empirical evidence suggests that certain physical therapy techniques and modalities are strongly recommended for pain relief, improvement of ROM, and functional status in patients with adhesive capsulitis, while others are either moderately or mildly recommended. However, the efficacy of one treatment modality over another is uncertain. The poor methodological rigors demonstrated in most of the reviewed studies emphasize the urgent need of properly conducted, adequately sampled randomized controlled trials with adequate follow up to determine the superior combination of treatment.
