Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the safety and efficacy of medical management of ectopic pregnancy.Materials and methods: This prospective observational study was conducted between February 2011 to August 2013 in Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) and in different private clinics of Chittagong city. Twenty-seven patients of ectopic pregnancy conceived by fertility treatment were recruited for medical treatment after proper evaluation. Ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed by serum ?-hCG and progesterone level but missing intrauterine pregnancy by transabdominal sonography (TAS). Serum ?-hCG was repeated after 48 hours to observe doubling of the level. If level was not doubled or increment was not at least 66% and serum progesterone level was less than 15ng/ml then it was considered as ectopic pregnancy. Patients were treated with Injection methotrexate 50 mg intramuscularly either by single dose or two doses. After 4 days of 1st injection ?-hCG was repeated and if level decreased > 15% then patients were assessed weekly till ?-hCG fell to <5lU/L. If drop was <15% after 4 days a second dose of methotrexate was given.Results: Overall success rate was 66.66% . Surgical intervention was needed in 22.22% patients. All patients were treated after hospitalization in CMCH and different private clinics of Chittagong. They got injection methotrexate, antibiotic, antispasmodic and analgesics for abdominal pain. Single dose cured 55.55% patients and 11.11% patients needed second dose, another 11.11% patients were misdiagnosed –later on they were diagnosed as intrauterine pregnancy and medical termination was done. Within one year of treatment 33.33% patients conceived again. There was no side effect or complications of the treatment.Conclusion: This small trial gave a good impression about medical treatment in selective cases. The efficacy should be assessed in a randomized clinical trial with a different set of populationBangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2014; Vol. 29(1) : 32-36

Local Complication

ABSTRACT Carboplatin is a platinum chemotherapeutic agent commonly used in veterinary oncology that is currently classified as an irritant to local tissues when extravasated. To the authors’ knowledge, there are no reports of vesicant injuries associated with carboplatin administration reported in the veterinary literature. In this case series, seven dogs are described to have experienced injuries following a suspected carboplatin extravasation resembling vesicant injuries a median of 7 days after carboplatin administration (range 4–15 days). Wounds healed with a variety of treatments, including medical management and/or surgical debridement, a median of 25.5 days (range 7–49 days) after observation of the suspected extravasation injury. There were no obvious similarities involving carboplatin administration among patients to explain why these reactions occurred. Extravasation injury should be considered a possible local complication associated with carboplatin chemotherapy.

Background: Meningiomas are the most commonly occurring benign intracranial tumors. When presenting with peritumoral brain edema (PTBE), surgical treatment can lead to patient morbidity. This retrospective case series aims to describe the conservative medical management of moderate to large meningiomas with large PTBE. Methods: Patients with suspected meningiomas greater than 2.0cm and edema index greater than 2.0 were identified by screening 3345 MRI scans between 2012-2017. Imaging analysis included MR imaging features of suspected meningiomas and clinical data was gathered from the electronic patient record (patient age, sex, patient symptoms, follow-up duration, and follow-up symptoms). Results: We report on 31 patients who received conservative medical management. Presenting complaints included headache, seizure, weakness; many presented asymptomatically. The average follow-up time was 3.96 years. At the final follow-up appointment, 19 (61%) patients were asymptomatic. Among symptomatic patients, seizures were the most common complaint. There was no mortality reported in our cohort and the average tumor progression was 7.04cm3/year. Conclusions: In this retrospective report of meningioma patients with high edema index, we found that most patients remained asymptomatic or had stable symptoms after at least 1-yr follow up after medical treatment. This study provides insight around the surgical decision-making for meningiomas with large spread of edema.
