Vesico Vaginal Fistula

Background: Vesico-vaginal fistula can occur in different women with varied socio-economic condition. Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to see the socio-demographic characteristics of vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF) patients attended at a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was carried out from July 2013 to December 2013 for a period of 6 months in the National Fistula Centre in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka, Bangladesh. All patients who underwent surgical repair for iatrogenic VVF in National Fistula Centre of the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Dhaka Medical College Hospital were included in this study. Patients who got themselves admitted to Obstetrics & Gynaecology department of DMCH with the complaints of fistula. The entire selected patients were interviewed for detailed socio-demographic characteristics. Result: A total number of 51 cases of VVF were recruited for this study. The mean age was 46.02 (±SD 6.104) years. Most of the respondents were illiterate (55.0%) and one-third patients had primary level education. The number of highly educated patients was scarce (12.0%). It was evident that average age at marriage of the patients was 15.8(±4.74) years. Some females were forced to accept marriage at the age of 10 years. The mean interval between initiation of menstruation and the marriage was only 4.72 years. Mothers were on an average 17.48 years old at the time of first delivery. Conclusion: In conclusion middle age illiterate women are most commonly suffering from VVF.

Background: Dengue is a vector borne viral infection with seasonal outbreaks every year. The spectrum varies from just a febrile morbidity to the severe form of dengue shock syndrome (DSS). The objective of the present study was to study the influence of dengue fever on pregnancy and to analyze the maternal and perinatal outcome.Methods: Thirty-six pregnant women beyond 28weeks of gestation who tested positive for dengue infection were retrospectively analyzed during a 5year study period (Jan 2014-Dec 2018). The study was conducted in the Department of OBGYN St John’s Medical College Hospital, Bangalore. Thirty-three of these patients delivered at St John’s and there were three postpartum referral cases. The necessary data was obtained by patient record review. The data was analyzed using SPSS and the results were expressed as Mean±SD and percentages.Results: Out of 36 women analyzed the mean age was found to be 23.93±4.5 years. Majority were primigravidae (58.3%). The most common clinical manifestation was fever seen in 47.2%. Twenty five percent of patients had platelet count of <20,000 on admission. Overall 66% of the patients required transfusion. Nearly fifty three percent of the patients had vaginal delivery. There were 4 maternal mortalities (11.1%) and 2 perinatal mortalities (5.5%) both were still births in the present study.Conclusions: Dengue infection in pregnancy was associated with increased maternal and perinatal morbidity as well as mortality. The severity of the infection has direct impact on the outcome. Hence early diagnosis and prompt management in a tertiary care centre, with multidisciplinary approach improves the outcome and minimizes the complications.

Atypical Manifestations

Dengue infection is a major vector borne disease. The classical signs and symptoms include high fever, severe headache, chill, and rash. Atypical manifestations of dengue infection with hepatic involvement are frequently reported, ranging from mild elevations of liver enzymes to acute liver failure. Analysis of 110 serologically confirmed cases of dengue infection in Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College hospital a tertiary care hospital was done. Patients with normal aminotransferase levels were categorized into Grade A, patients with at least one of the enzymes raised above normal but less than 3 times were categorized into Grade B, those with at least one of the enzymes elevated more than 3 times but less than 10 times were graded as C, and those with elevations more than 10 times as Grade D. 83.7% patients had alterations of transaminase levels, with 45.5% categorized into grade b, 30.9% into grade C, and 7.3% into grade D or acute hepatitis (P value 0.224). Rise of aspartate aminotransferase (AS7) levels were higher compared to the levels of alanine aminotransferase (AL7). Liver damage with alteration of aminotransferases is a common manifestation of dengue infection and also valuable markers for monitoring these patients.

Pattern of multi morbidity of this older people varies according to geography, ethnicity, culture and life style. Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence and pattern of multi morbidity of elderly patients admitted in a tertiary care hospital. Method: 50 random cases of elderly patients aged more than 60 years admitted in medicine and allied wards of Dhaka medical college hospital were observed at this cross-sectional study from January 2017 to June 2017(total 6 months period).

Hypertension, ischemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus and stroke were found most common diseases as individual. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus was found as the most common multi morbidity pattern followed by hypertension and IHD, stroke & diabetes mellitus.
