BACKGROUND Emotional intelligence and temperament are important parts of medical practice in good clinical history taking, diagnosis, effective treatment, and in managing the extreme situations in the workplace. This is more important in young resident doctors who lack the experience in handling patients. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the four different aspects of emotional intelligence and their correlation with different temperamental factors in medical resident doctors. METHODS This is a cross sectional study. Students pursuing higher medical education were assessed for temperament and emotional intelligence. Purposefully selected participants were given temperament scale and emotional intelligence scale for their assessment. The four components of emotional intelligence were correlated with the 15 temperamental factors. RESULTS In this study medical residents were found to be low / very low on temperamental scale on all 15 parameters and are average on emotional intelligence score on all four parameters. There is a positive correlation between all temperamental factors and emotional intelligence factors except secretiveness and aggressiveness, which show negative correlation. When various subfactors of temperament were correlated with grand emotional intelligence, sociability, vigorous, cooperative, persistence and tolerance showed moderate strength of correlation ranging from 0.36 to 0.5. In comparison between male and female residents, factors like acceptability, responsibility and persistence were predominant in males while sociability, ascendant, placid, vigorous and tolerance were predominant in female resident doctors. CONCLUSIONS In this study medical residents were found to be are low / very low on temperamental scale and average on emotional intelligence. There is moderate correlation between grand emotional intelligence and grand temperamental score. There is no gender factor influence when head-to-head comparison was done but individual gender wise correlation analysis has shown that emotional intelligence correlates differently to temperamental factors in both genders.

BACKGROUND- Psoriasis is chronic common papulosquamous disorder. Its aetiology included various environmental and genetic factors. In genetics, HLA-Cw6 is most commonly associated with psoriasis. Childhood psoriasis is also common in worldwide population. However, very few studies done on epidemiological data and HLA-Cw6 analysis in childhood psoriasis patients. AIMS AND OBJECTIVE- Clinicoepidemiological study of childhood psoriasis patients and its association with HLA-Cw6 in a tertiary care centre of Eastern India MATERIALAND METHOD- We conducted a cross-sectional study in a tertiary care centre and recruited 20 patients of psoriasis with age group below 18 years after taking proper consent. Clinical history and blood was taken from them and HLA-Cw6 analysis was done by PCR method. Data compilation was done by Microsoft excel using SPSS software. RESULTS- A total of the 20 childhood psoriasis patients, 9 were males and 11 were females. Generalized plaque type psoriasis (N=19) is commonest followed by guttate psoriasis (N=1). None of the patients had arthalgia. Family history was present in only 3 patients. Higher numbers of childhood psoriasis patients (N=14) were positive for HLA-Cw6. Also Higher numbers of females (N=10) were positive for HLA-Cw6. ve patients had nail changes. CONCLUSION- We found HLA-Cw6 is strongly associated with childhood psoriasis and also HLA-Cw6 frequency is higher in female than male childhood psoriasis patients.

Background: Childhood tuberculosis is difficult in the identification of the organism due to impropersampling as well as low sensitivity of the smear. Newer diagnostic methods like Cartridge basednucleic acid amplification tests (CBNAAT) can rapidly identify Mycobacterium tuberculosis withimproved sensitivity over the smear testing. Material & Method:This observational record basedcross-sectional study was undertaken to identify the epidemiology of tubercular infection in childrendiagnosed with CBNAAT. The study was carried out by analyzing the data of children from six monthsto 18 years who were diagnosed with Tuberculosis and treated with anti-tuberculosis therapy (ATT)from April 2018 to March 2020. Results: Data of a total of 166 patients was analyzed. 42% ofoverall collected samples were reactive to CBNAAT testing for tuberculosis. 40 gastric aspiratesamples were collected and only four (10%) turned reactive for tuberculosis by CBNAAT. None of thepediatric samples was positive for MDR TB. 66% of children completed treatment and 33% weredeclared cured. Conclusion: 42% positivity after CBNAAT testing for tuberculosis infection incollected samples of sputum and gastric aspirate where only 10% yield in GA samples.

Background: Despite in techniques advancement to patient care for respiratory tracts are instrumented may complicate the IAP course up to 50% in patients with mechanical ventilation. It requires rapid diagnoses and treatment that is appropriate as per patient condition. Many studies revealed negative impact with delayed administration and antibiotic treatment in IAP patients may increase the hospital mortality and morbidity. The primary objective of the study was to estimate the incidence of IAP in the patient admitted in ICU of tertiary care hospitals in Rawalpindi Pakistan. Study Design: Observational cross sectional study. Setting: ICU units of various tertiary care hospitals in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Period: One year from Dec 2016-Dec 2017. Materials and Methods: A total 450 subjects were enlisted for the study; these patients were selected randomly. The exclusion criteria include all patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) or those on long-term antibiotic or steroid therapy and all the pregnant women whereas all the patients of both sexes, kept on ventilator for more than 48 h and above the age of 18 years were included in this study. Results: We enrolled a total of 450 patients for this study. The average age of all the participants was   61.51 + 12.8 with range 36-91. 230(51.1%) of the patients were male whereas 220(48.9%) were females. The Trauma-Pulm contusion was absent in all patients. In ICU 150 (33.3%) were diagnosed with COPD, 150(33.3%) with Asthma, 220(48.9%) with ARDS, 10 (2.2%) with head trauma and 310 (68.8%) with diabetes.200 (44.4%) smokers, 40(8.8%) were having lung cancer, 310(68.8%) were hypertensive and 20 (4.4%) were with Pneumothorax - requiring Chest Tube. Conclusion: We may conclude from our study that ICU associated Pneumonia is a serious issue, that developed with longer hospital stay, duration of mechanical ventilation and re-intubation. By reducing the mechanical ventilation duration, pneumonia can be controlled.

Background: The covid pandemic started from Hubei, Wuhan in December 2020 then covered many other countries including India. Understanding the demographic and clinical characteristics of deceased COVID-19 patients could inform public health interventions focusing on preventing mortality due to COVID-19. The present study was done with the objective of studying the socio-demographic and clinical profile of deceased patients with coronavirus disease.Methods: This is a hospital based cross-sectional study on 1190 deceased patients of coronavirus disease in a tertiary care hospital of central India which is a dedicated covid hospital from 11 March 2020 to 28 February 2021. Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of deceased patients were recorded.Results: Overall case fatality rate was 13.24%. Maximum number of deaths occurred in the month of August 2020 and September 2020 were 372 (31.26%) and 477 (40.08%). It was higher in the males 791 (66.47%) as compared to females 399 (33.53%), but the difference was not significant. The most common symptom was fever on hospitalization 924 (77.65%), followed by generalized weakness 771 (64.79%). 352 (29.58%) patients died within 24 hours of the admission to hospital. Hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus were the most prevalent morbidity in 557 (46.80%) and 357 (30.00%). It was found that 232 (19.50%) deceased patients had oxygen saturation less than 50% on admission.Conclusions: Higher age and presence of co-morbidities at the time of admission were significantly associated with mortality.
