Background: This study is cross-sectional, observational and comparative study, at Index Medical College, Hospital & Research Centre, Indore, Madhya Pradesh from July 2017 to July 2019 with sample size 100 placentae. Method: The placenta received was evaluated blinded of maternal pregnancy outcome. The pattern of morphology was evaluated both qualitatively (type of lesion) and quantitatively (number of lesions). Result: In Present study 79% of the deliveries were term deliveries and 21% were preterm deliveries. On placental macroscopy, placenta weight was significantly low among the neonates of preterm deliveries (370.00±60.49) as compared to term deliveries (440.89±55.22). Preterm placenta had higher number of abnormal placental lesion compared to term pregnancies. Conclusion: The uteroplacental insufficiency defined as placental infarct, fibrosis of chorionic villi, thickening of blood vessels, and poor vascularity of chorionic villi. Placental histopathological lesions are strongly associated with maternal under perfusion and uteroplacental insufficiency. These are the reasons for preterm birth. Thus, knowledge of the etiological factor can be use to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortility. Keywords: Placenta, Term & Preterm.

Final Visual Outcome

All patient coming to Index Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Indore operated in Department of Ophthalmology for traumatic cataract due to various injuries Result: Of the 37 patients, 19 patients (51%) showed corneal/ corneal sclera injury. 10 cases had injury to iris in the form of spincter tear, traumatic mydriasis, iris incarceration, floppy iris, posterior and anterior synechiae. Subluxation of lens was seen in 2 cases and Dislocation of lens was in 1 cases. 3 cases had corneal opacity. Old retinal detachment was seen in 1 (3%) case. Out of 30 cases who had associated ocular injuries, 3 cases had vision of HM, 07 cases had vision of CF-ctf – CF-3’, 01 cases had vision of 5/60, 07 cases had vision of 6/60-6/36, 03 cases had vision of 6/24-6/18, 09 cases had vision of 6/12-6/6. Out of 7 cases without associated in injury, 2 cases had vision of 6/24-6/18, 05 cases had vision of 6/12-6/6. Conclusion: Corneal scarring obstructing the visual axis as well as by inducing irregular astigmatism formed an important cause of poor visual outcome in significant number of cases. Irreversible posterior segment damage lead to impaired vision case. The final visual outcome showed good result however the final visual outcome depends upon the extent of associated ocular injuries. Effective Intervention and management are the key points in preventing monocular blindness due to traumatic cataract. Keywords: Ocular, Tissues, Traumatic, Cataract & Surgery.

Background & Method: We conducted a double blinded study at Index Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Indore. The sample size was determined to be minimum of 120 cases as based upon previous years admission due to acute bronchiolitis. Initially, 146 cases were included in the study out of which 23 cases dropped out of the study after giving consent by guardian for participation in the study as they left against medical advice from the hospital. Result: The mean difference of CSS between 0 minutes to 60 minutes of nebulisation between groups in all cases was 0.4 ± 0.6, between 60 minutes and 4 hours was 0.8 ± 0.6, between 4 to 8 hours was 0.7 ± 0.6, between 8-12 hours was 0.6 ± 0.4, between 12-24 hours was 1.6 ± 0.9 and between 24-48 hours was 1.9 ± 0.9.The mean values and resultant p-value of ANOVA of various nebulising agents used for improvement in CSS shows significant association between various nebulising agents used along with improvement in CSS at the end of assessment at 48 hours of treatment. Conclusion: This study was conducted to establish the efficacy of each nebulisation agent (i.e.  adrenaline, 3% hypertonic saline and normal saline) currently used and compare the outcomes as there is not enough evidence amongst Indian population on level of efficacy of each drug in causing improvement in symptoms and signs in various severities of bronchiolitis in early childhood. Comparison of significant improvement in mean difference in CSS at various intervals in all cases compared between groups by post hoc test revealed non-significant difference (p-value 0.700) between 3% hypertonic saline and normal saline. Keywords: nebulisation, adrenaline, bronchiolitis & clinical.

Background: The roles of physiotherapists in managing the chronic and acute pain in musculoskeletal (Msk) conditions are inevitable now days. Physiotherapists work across the time period aiding patients with their pain in medical care settings with the aim of decreasing pain, rising quality of life wherever attainable and preventing acute and sub-acute painful conditions developing into chronic pain. Dry needling, an invasive technique in the hand of Physios is a new trend in managing acute and chronic pain. Purpose of the study is to identify the immediate and delayed response of pain and presence of soreness after the dry needling in common Msk conditions which can be managed in association with other conventional physical therapy techniques. Objective was to find out the immediate and delayed effects of dry needling over pain in musculoskeletal disorders.Methods: This study was carried out in the department of physiotherapy, Malabar medical college hospital and research centre. Patient was prepared and identified the extreme tender point over the muscle affected and needle removed after 3-5 twitch response elicited. Sterility of the treatment area and needle was well maintained. Prior to the treatment again confirmed with the NPRS score and procedure was done. After few seconds of insertion of needle subjects NPRS score assessed. After removal of needling pain score was assessed after 5 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour and after one day.Results: Study showed a marked reduction in pain after dry needling at each intervals and this suggesting promoting dry needling as an adjunct to pain relief technique in physiotherapy.Conclusions: Dry needling is effective over pain in musculoskeletal disorders.

Background: Most frequently performed gynaecological surgery is hysterectomy. The prevalence of hysterectomy varies within different regions. There are mainly two types of hysterectomies according to which part of uterus is removed. The main types of hysterectomy are total and subtotal or partial hysterectomy. The hysterectomy can be performed by three routes abdominal, laproscopic and vaginal hysterectomy. The main objective of our study is to know most common pathology and different age groups of the patients underwent hysterectomy. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study was carried during period 6 months, at GCS medical college, hospital and research centre, Ahmedabad. Total 100 hysterectomy specimens were analyzed for histopathological lesions. We had taken the clinical and histopathological findings of these cases from the records of department of pathology, GCS medical college , hospital and research centre. Results: In our study of 100 cases, most common age group underwent hysterectomy was 40-49 years and least common age group was 20-29 years. Type of hysterectomy performed most commonly in this study was total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy. Most of lesions were seen in the myometrium 42 cases (42%), Endometrium 32 cases (32%), Cervix 16 cases (16%) and Ovary 10 cases (10%). Hysterectomy remains the widely used treatment modality.

BACKGROUND:- Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common preventable cause of mental retardation. Screening for congenital hypothyroidism can be helpful in preventing mental retardation among general population. Umbilical cord blood TSH (CBTSH) estimation has been universally accepted and is one of the most cost effective screening programs in the field of preventive medicine and public health. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:- This study was aimed to find the effectiveness of cord blood TSH as a screening tool for congenital hypothyroidism. MATERIALS AND METHODS:- This hospital based cross sectional study was conducted at GCS Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Ahmedabad, over a period of one year in 1687 neonates. All newborns delivered at the institute were subjected to cord blood TSH level estimation and a repeat Serum TSH estimation was done at or after 72 hours of life. Diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism is confirmed postnatally by standard Serum TSH value cut offs as per age. Data collected and statistically analysed. RESULTS:- Out of 1687 neonates born during the study period, 1548 formed the study group. 805 (52%) were males and 743(48%) were females. The birth weight of babies ranged from 850 gms to 4300 gms. The value of CBTSH varied from 1.3mIU/L to 101.4mIU/L with mean CBTSH of 7.21mIU/L. 28(1.8%) babies had CBTSH levels >20mIU/L. Out of which four were later diagnosed to have congenital hypothyroidism. All four had CBTSH levels >20mIU/L. All other neonates with CBTSH levels less than 20mIU/L were found to have normal screening later postnatally. CONCLUSION:- The current study concludes that cord blood TSH is a sensitive marker to screen for congenital hypothyroidism in neonates. A cut off value of cord blood TSH >20mIU/ml can be used for screening purpose.

Background: Study was conducted on 60 patients of both sexes taken for various surgical procedures taking from 30 to 90 minutes at Index Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Indore, from Jan 2012 to Dec 2012. Result: More of the children in the control group (25%) were anxious on reversal of residual paralysis than in the 0.5 mg/kg dose group and the 0.75 mg/kg dose group (5%, 0%, resp.) The number of children who were drowsy but arousable was the highest in the 0.75mg/kg dose group (50%) followed by the 0.5 mg/kg dose group (20%) and the control group (10%).  The differences observed between the 0.75mg/kg dose group and the control group were statistically significant. Also, the percentage of children who were calm were significantly higher in the 0.5 mg/kg dose group (75%) compared to the control group (25%). Most of the children in the three groups recovered spontaneous ventilation and could be extubated within 5 minutes. However, 2 children in each of the 3 groups were extubated within 5–10 minutes of reversal.  Recovery of spontaneous ventilation and extubation was delayed by over 15 minutes in 2 children in the 0.75 mg/kg dose group.  Midazolam dose did not impact the overall recovery times for children in any of the 3 groups, as the average time interval from premedication to full recovery was similar for all 3 groups. Conclusion: Observation were made in terms of pulse rate, respiratory rate,Spo2, patient's acceptance of the medication, reaction to separation from parents, sedation scores, and recovery conditions. No side effects reported with Midazolam syrup like nausea, vomiting, hiccoughing, apnoea and laryngospasm. Keywords: Adverse, Midazolam, Premedication & Paediatrics.

Absolute Eosinophil Count

Introduction: Eosinophilia is a well-known host immune response in helminthic infestation. This study was carried out to investigate whether a correlation exists between absolute eosinophil count in children with stool specimen positive for helminthic infestation. Aim And Objective: To determine average raised absolute eosinophil count in children who were having various helminthic infestation with stool specimen positive. Materials And Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study done at Navodaya medical college hospital and research centre during 2019 October to 2020 September for a period of 12 months. Both blood and stool samples were obtained from a total of 69 suspected children after examined, categorised into 2 groups. Among them 24 cases were positive of helminthic infestation and 45 cases were negative. T-test and descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. Results: The study revealed that children infested with helminths found to have higher absolute eosinophil count (mean 4644/µl (95%CI; 3474-4212) than not infested (mean 801/µl (95%CI; 616-945) with p value <0.001. In this helminth's family; nematodes, trematodes, cestodes showed mean values of absolute eosinophil count were 5206/µl (4806-7151/µl), 4930/µl (4500-5382/µl) and 2179/µl (2500-1669/µl) respectively. Conclusions: Raised absolute eosinophil count has been observed in stool specimen positive cases of helminths, especially more in nematodes. Therefore, should be considered for a single dose of albendazole.
