Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate pain and to assess if analgesic prescriptions are according to the World Health Organization guidelines. Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Surgery in a tertiary care hospital. Patients with age >18 years, of either sex, admitted to surgery ward were included in the study. Pain assessment was done using a visual analog scale and McGill questionnaire. Information obtained from case paper sheets was recorded, such as name of analgesics, the generic name of prescribed analgesics, dosage, route of administration, frequency, number of analgesics per prescription, and non-pharmacological techniques. Data generated from the questionnaire were entered into an Excel sheet, and percentages were calculated. Results: A total of eight different analgesics were prescribed in the study group. Paracetamol was the maximally prescribed drug (40%). In 48% of cases, antacids were given along with analgesics. A majority of analgesics were prescribed in generic names (52%). No drug was prescribed to almost 18% cases even though the pain intensity was of mild-to-moderate intensity. Conclusion: Commonly prescribed drugs were paracetamol + tramadol. Prescription pattern of analgesics is partially deviating from standard guidelines. Generic names were written in the majority of prescriptions, which is in accordance with standard prescription writing.

Predominant Strain

By 2019 December saw a deadly virus starting to spread across wuhan city in china and started to spread across the globe by 2020 and was named as SARS-CoV-2. The Covid-19 variant spreading in India, namely the Delta variant is found to be more contagious and has been classified as ‘being of concern’ by the World Health Organization. RTPCR positive samples from a tertiary care hospital were subjected to sequencing after fulfilling the criteria as per the standard protocol. Out of 70 samples sequenced, B.1.617.2, AY.4, AY.6, AY.12 & Delta like variants were detected. The Delta variant B.1.617.2 was found to be the predominant strain. The sub lineage of Delta variant strain like AY.6 (1.4%), AY.4 (12 %), AY.12 (14%) were also detected. Delta –like variant was found in 20% of the samples sequenced. The results of sequencing might help to understand the characteristics of the strains prevalent during second wave of SARS-CoV-2 and would be helpful to tackle further infection of COVID.

ABSTRACTObjectives: Adverse drug reaction (ADR) is an important cause of morbidity, mortality, and prolonged hospitalization. The objective of this study is tomeasure the incidence, types, and nature of ADR in a tertiary care hospital located in Silchar, Assam.Methods: A retrospective noninterventional analysis of all ADRs reported by ADR Monitoring Centre, Department of Pharmacology, Silchar MedicalCollege, from March 2014 to February 2015 was performed. A total of 162 predesigned forms were used for collection of data. All forms were dulychecked for completeness, if not, they were rejected.Results: A total of 162 forms were assessed of which 96 (59%) were females and 66 (41%) were males. The distribution of ADRs in different age groupswere found to be 3 (1.85%) in 0-15 years, 71 (43.82%) in 16-30 years, 65 (40.12%) in 31-45 years, 8 (4.93%) in 46-60 years, and 15 (9.25%) in agegroup >60 years. 150 (92.6%) of the ADRs were serious and 12 (7.4%) were not serious. As per the World Health Organization causality assessmentscale, 120 (74.07%) were probable and 42 (25.92%) were possible. The most common ADR was anaphylactic reaction (AR) in 69 (42.59%) patients.The drugs which commonly caused ADR were iron sucrose infusions, nevirapine, cephalosporins, antiprotozoals, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatorydrugs, and quinolones followed by others.Conclusion: The majority of ADRs were probable. The most common ADR was AR caused by iron sucrose infusion. Different drugs caused differentADRs. ADRs thereby increase morbidity and mortality in patients as well as socioeconomic burden.Keywords: Adverse drug reaction, Anaphylactic reaction, Iron sucrose infusion, Noninterventional, Retrospective analysis.

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the types of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with platinum analogs (cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin) used for cancer chemotherapy in a tertiary care hospital and determine their causal relationship with the offending drug.Methods: This prospective, observational, non-interventional study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital at GSVM Medical College Kanpur, India, for 4 months. Patients of all age and either sex were included in the study. ADRs were reported by the physicians of oncology department of the hospital and ADRs were assessed for different parameters -causality, outcome, and seriousness of ADR as per the World Health Organization (WHO), type of ADRs as per expanded Rawlins and Thompson’s classification, predictability using council for international organization of medical sciences guidelines and severity using modified Hartwig’s scale. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis.Results: A total of 140 ADRs were reported from platinum analogs following treatment of different types of cancer in hospital. The burden of ADRs in each patient was 2.41. Most of the ADRs were observed in the age group of 40–60 years. Vomiting (27 ADRs) was commonly reported reaction. Among platinum analogs, cisplatin leads to 82 ADRs (58.57%) followed by carboplatin with 53 ADRs (37.86%) and least with oxaliplatin 5 ADRs (3.57%). Most of the ADRs on causality assessment were possible (104, 74.29%) and probable (36, 25.71%) in nature. Type -A ADRs account for 4/5th of the total reported ADRs, followed by Type-B and C. Severity of 90.71% ADRs was found to be mild followed by moderate, with no case of severe and serious nature. Nearly, most of the ADRs were of predictable type (97.14%).Conclusion: The potential of platinum analogs to cause ADRs is high; thus, the need of effective ADRs monitoring is highly emphasized.
