Objectives: In our study we evaluate the hyperuricemia levels in patients presenting to us with the chief complaint of chronic lower back pain and determine the associations with age, gender and radiographic findings. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Dow University of Health Science Civil Hospital Karachi. Period: From April 2017 to September 2017. Material & Methods: Patients with lower back pain of a duration longer than three months and between the ages of 18 and 70 years were included. A complete history and physical examination was done for all the patients including relevant laboratory, radiographic and anthropometric measurements. The neurosurgeon also assessed the patient’s lower back pain and associated findings in the lower limbs. The patients also underwent radiographic evaluations via X-rays and Magnetic resonance imaging. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS statistical software version 20. We considered a p value of < 0.05 to be statistically significant. Results: The final study population consisted of n= 110 patients of which n= 54 were males and n= 56 were females. Of the total patient population of the study n= 31 (28.18%) had increased serum uric acid and had nearly equal incidence in males and females (27.77% and 28.57% respectively). The highest incidence of hyperuricemia was found patients between 26 and 60 years of age. In our study n= 22 patients did not have any comorbid condition while joint pain was found in n= 24 patients (p-value of <0.05) of these patients they suffered from pain in their knees and tarsal joints. Lumbar disc prolapse was found in n= 21 patients (p-value of <0.05), lumbar disc degeneration was found in n= 16 patients (p-value of <0.0579). Furthermore, disc space narrowing was found in n= 27 patients having a p-value of <0.05. Conclusion: According to the results of our study hyperuricemia is found in one of every four with low back pain. There is a variable association between comorbid conditions and hyperuricemia. While an equal association is found between gender and hyperuricemia. There is also a strong association of hyperuricemia with joint space narrowing and lumbar disc narrowing of the lumbar vertebrae and it augments degenerative spondylolisthesis.

Background. Lower back pain is a common reason for disability and the most common cause is lumbar disc herniation. Percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis has been applied to relieve pain and increase the functional capacity of patients who present this condition.Objectives. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the factors which predict the outcome of percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis in patients who were diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation.Methods. Electronic medical records of patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation who have received percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis treatment were reviewed. The primary outcome was the factors that were associated with substantial response of ≥4 points or ≥50% of pain relief in the numerical rating scale pain score 12 months after the treatment.Results. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the presence of high-intensity zone (HIZ) at magnetic resonance imaging was a predictor of substantial response to percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis for 12 months (P=0.007). The presence of a condition involving the vertebral foramen was a predictor for unsuccessful response after 12 months (P=0.02).Discussion and Conclusion. The presence of HIZ was a predictor of favorable long-term outcome after percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis for the treatment of lower back pain with radicular pain caused by lumbar disc herniation.

Background: Mining is an ancient occupation, long recognized as being arduous and liable to injury and disease. The lifecycle of mining consists of exploration, mine development, mine operation, decommissioning and land rehabilitation. Objective: To explore the prevalence characteristics and influence factors related to the development of work related musculoskeletal disorders of underground coalminers in Eastern Coalfield mines. Methods: In a cross-sectional study of 55 coalminers from Saatgram Project, Raniganj, Eastern Coalfields, modified Nordic Questionnaire was performed to assess the musculoskeletal disorders. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between the occupational factors and their work related musculoskeletal disorders. Results: In this study 36 out of 55 miners (65.45%) complained about the development of musculoskeletal disorders at different body parts. The maximum pain was identified at lower back. The presence of lower back pain was observed among 58.18% of miners. The prevalence of pain in different body sites of the miners increased significantly with their ages. According to the present study, the repetitive operations and awkward postures were the risk factors for the development of work related musculoskeletal disorders in neck, shoulder and upper limbs; moreover, the repetitive operation of moving heavy substances and stooping postures continuously were related significantly – with the development of lower back pain at lower limbs due to the long standing awkward posture. Conclusion: It may be concluded from the above study that Eastern Coalfield miners are suffering from work related musculoskeletal disorders. This condition may be rectified by changing working postures or by implementation of ergonomically designed tools and machineries.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijosh.v2i2.6596 International Journal of Occupational Safety and Health, Vol 2.
