Background: Peripheral neuroblastic tumours arise from the neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous tissue. These are rare, but are the most common among the extracranial solid tumours occurring in children. Method: This was a retrospective study conducted on 15 cases of peripheral neuroblastic tumours. The demographic details were recorded and the slides were analysed for the microscopic features and classified according to International Neuroblastoma Pathology Classification (INPC). Results: Out of the 15 peripheral neuroblastic tumour cases, 8 were males and 7 females. Seven cases came under age group <1.5years, 5 were between 1.5 years to 5 years and 5 cases were over 5 years of age. Seven tumours were from the retroperitoneal region, 4 cases were from the adrenal gland, 2 from intracranium and one case each was from the neck and the mediastinal regions. There were 8 Neuroblastoma cases, 2 cases of Ganglioneuroblastoma and 5 cases of Ganglioneuroma. It was found that 8 tumours were in the favourable histology group and 7 tumours in the unfavourable histology group. Conclusion: Peripheral neuroblastic tumours are rare. It is important to classify them accurately according to the various categories which help to determine the prognosis.

Background: Despite the availability of modern and scientific measures, unacceptably high numbers of maternal deaths still occur in developing countries. Spacing methods of family planning may avoid maternal and infant deaths. The Government of India launched postpartum IUCD (PPIUCD) services in the year 2000; although acceptance of Postpartum IUCD is a real concern.Methods: The retrospective study was conducted in rural government hospital in Maharashtra during 2016 - 2017. We analyzed sociodemographic variables and acceptance of Postpartum IUCD among postpartum women. The sample size was 595 (N=595). The sociodemographic factors studied included age, type of delivery, sex of newborn, socioeconomic status, educational status, etc.Results: The total postpartum women included in the study was 595, out of which, 202 (34%) accepted for postpartum IUCD whereas 393 (66%) rejected for the same. The most common age group was 20-25 years (65%), followed by age group 25-30 years (30%). Primipara was the comment group (45%) and normal vaginal delivery was common (95%). The educational status of both, the postpartum women and their husband, showed statistically significant association with acceptance of postpartum IUCD (p<0.05).Conclusions: The acceptance Postpartum IUCD was low (34%). The women’s and their husband’s educational status is an important factor in acceptance of Postpartum IUCD (p<0.05). Due attention should be given to enhancing educational level of women, also effective counselling both for pregnant woman and her husband during ANC is required.

Aims and Objectives: We conducted a retrospective analysis among 1984 burn patients to study the incidence, prevalence of burn injury, its various types and modes (actual event behind the burn injury), risk factors and to find out the preventive measures.Materials and Methods: The retrospective study was carried out among 1984 patients having burn injuries, admitted in a tertiary care hospital of West Bengal, India over a period of nine years. The sources of information were the admission registers and the patients' folders from the medical records department. The Ethical clearance was taken from the Institutional Ethical Committee. The information obtained included age, sex, whether accidental or suicidal, etiology of burn injury and particularly the mechanism of injury. Results: Females were mostly affected (83%) in comparison to males. Among the study population, most of the burn patients were in the age group of 21-30yrs i.e. 35.3%. The number of burn patients were less in number in the age group of 11-20yrs i.e. 7.3%. Most of the burn injuries (87%) were accidental. Suicidal burns occurred in 10% cases. Of which about 1/3rd of the cases were due to dowry related issues.  A significant number of teenagers also attempted suicides due to trivial reasons (e.g. failure in examination, quarrelling with parents). Gas oven related injuries occurred in 2.7% cases. Oil lamps (‘kupi’), candles and hurricane-lanterns, diyas were also responsible to some extent in rural India for flame burns(5%). Smoking related burn injuries occurred in 1.7% cases. Scald injuries occurred in 14% cases. Chemical injuries (0.3%) were due to spillage of unlabelled bottles of acid/alkali. Electrical burn injury occurred in 4.9% cases. Conclusion: Burn injury prevention is not easy, but to avoid the significant morbidity and mortality following injury we have to prevent it by any means. A coordinated and dedicated approach among social workers , medical and paramedical personnel, administrators can only minimize the incidence of burn.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(1) 2015 70-75

Abstract Introduction: Malaria continues to strike hardest against the public health and economic development in Ethiopia. Its transmission tends to be highly heterogeneous within or between years, and from area to area which need understanding of the contextual diversity of malaria prevalence within each site to deliver optimal intervention according to the site specific situation of the disease. Thus, this study was aimed to determine the trend prevalence of malaria in Mojo health center, East Shoa Zone, Ethiopia. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in Mojo health center, East Shoa zone, Ethiopia from February to March, 2021. Malaria cases and related data reported 2016-2020 were carefully reviewed from laboratory registration logbooks. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS 25 software.Results: A total of 19, 106 blood films were examined from malaria suspected patients. The overall microscopically confirmed prevalence of malaria was 4.2%. P. vivax was the predominant species accounting 76.2% of positive samples. Malaria cases declined from 259 in 2016 to 77 in 2020. The proportion of malaria was higher among males (64.8%) than females (35.2%) in all five years. Higher malaria cases was observed from the age group 15-24 years old followed by the age group of 25-34. Malaria cases were at a peak level from September-November and lowest from December-February.Conclusion: Although the declining trend of malaria prevalence was observed, malaria still remains a public health burden in the area. The high burden of malaria among reproductive age group, males, and during cultivation season reflects its impact on health and economic development. Shifting of P. falciparum to P.vivax related malaria should get an attention during prevention and control strategies for the successful progress of malaria elimination programme.

Partial Hanging

Background: Hanging is the most common form of violent asphyxial death in our country. Typical and atypical variety of hanging depends on position of knot at the victim body. Objective: The objective of this study was to find out the position of knot of ligature material and relation of knot with the working hands in hanging cases along with socio demographical status of the study subjects. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted among 574 Autopsy cases of hanging victims at the Dhaka Medical College Morgue during the period January 2013 to December 2015. Results: Out of 574 cases, 159 (27.71%) were male and 415 (72.29 %) female. Among them 304(52.96%) were married and 270(47.04%) were unmarried. Most of the victims 269(46.86%) were from the age group 21- 30 years. Considering the knot, most were situated at right side of neck 281 (48.95%), followed by left side 235 (40.94%), at the nape of neck 50(8.71%) and in front of neck below chin 8(1.39%). Most of the study subjects were right handed. Dopatta (orna) was the commonest 237(41.28%) ligature material. 556 (96.86%) cases had some form of ligature mark in neck. Most of the victims 401(69.86%) hanged themselves at night. 545 body (94.95%) were recovered from inside the living rooms. 472 (82.23%) victims had complete suspension and 102 (17.77%) were cases of partial hanging. Conclusion: To reduce the number of suicidal hanging cases a well designed and comprehensive programme is needed, which will identify the causative factors and prevent of suicidal behaviors of affected persons.

Adrenal Ganglioneuroma

A ganglioneuroma (GN) is the rarest and most benign of the neuroblastic tumors and originates from neural crest cells wherever sympathetic nervous tissue exists, such as in the retroperitoneum and adrenal gland. The diagnosis can be very challenging, given the rarity and asymptomatic presentation of this neoplasia, and can be achieved only by means of histological evaluation. Although benign, a few cases of metastatic GNs have been reported in the literature. The prognosis, however, seems to be excellent after surgical resection. We describe a rare case of multifocal retroperitoneal GN, diagnosed incidentally in a 46-year-old woman, with para-aortic and adrenal localizations. After intraoperative pathological diagnosis was made, complete excision of all the visible masses was performed. The postoperative period was uneventful and she was recurrence free 3 months after surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a multifocal retroperitoneal GN. Among the broad differential diagnoses of adrenal incidentalomas, an adrenal location of neuroblastic tumors should not be forgotten.
