Background- Electric burns and injuries are the result of electric current passing through the body. Temporary or permanent damage can occur to the skin, tissues, and major organs. Methods- This prospective study was carried out on patients admitted in burn unit of department of surgery M.G. Hospital associated with Dr. S.N. Medical College Jodhpur. Records of the patients admitted from January 2018 to December 2018 were studied. Bed head tickets of the patients evaluated in detail. Results- In our study out of 113 patients maximum no. of patients were in age group of 21-30 years 44 (38.94%) followed by age group <11 years in 21 (18.58%) patients and age group of > 60 years in only 3 (2.65%).39 (34.51%) patients were farmer and 15 (13.27%) were electrician in out of 113 total patients, while 37 (32.74%) were without any occupation. 65 (57.52%) cases of high voltage (HV) electrical injury and 48 (42.48%) cases were of low voltage (LV) electrical injury. Conclusion- Morbidity leading to permanent disabilities make the person physically dependent on others. It can be prevented by educating the people about the proper handling to electric circuits & devices. Proper communication among the electricians may help in lowering such accidents. Proper rehabilitation of the handicapped person & employment to the member of the affected family may reduce the social burden caused by such electricity concerned accidents.

Background: Non-adherence to anti-hypertensive medications can have a negative impact on long term cardiovascular outcome. Various studies have been conducted on this issue but factors are not yet explored properly, particularly in Bangladesh. This study was conducted to find out the prevalence and factors associated with pattern of compliance to anti-hypertensive medications in a tertiary level hospital.Methods: This descriptive study was done on 146 indoor hypertensive patients, included by purposive sampling in july’2015 who were taking anti-hypertensive for last 6 months. Data were collected through a questionnaire after obtaining informed consent.Results: This study revealed that 55.47% patients were compliant and 44.53% were noncompliant. Age >60 yrs. are more non-compliant (56.6%). Female (65.11%), house wife and urban population are more compliant. Population, with longer duration of hypertension are more non-compliant. Among the co-morbidities diabetic patients are more non-compliant. Population taking two anti-hypertensive are more compliant (76.47%).Conclusion: In our study most of the populations are compliant but yet significant number of populations are non-compliant. Collective participation of physician, patient and health care delivery system can improve the situation more. As consequence of non-compliance to antihypertensive is grave, community based studies should be conducted to explore the extent of non-compliance.J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 24, No.1, April, 2015, Page 62-66

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Herpes zoster (HZ), also known as shingles, derived from the Latin word Cingulum, for “girdle”. This is because a common presentation of HZ involves a unilateral rash that can wrap around the waist or torso like a girdle. HZ results due to reactivation of an earlier latent infection with the varicella zoster virus (VZV) in dorsal root ganglia. It occurs at all age groups, common over 60 years of age. It is estimated that in non-immune populations, approximately 15 cases per 1000 people occur per year. The objective of the study was to study the clinical characteristics in patients with uncomplicated herpes zoster.</span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A total of 72 patients attending dermatology OPD at Ramaiah medical college between June 2013 to September 2014 were recruited after obtaining informed consent. A detailed history regarding onset of rash, pain, progression, duration and distribution of the lesions were recorded. Demographic information including age, sex, and any other co morbidities noted. Tzanck smear and serology for HIV was done where-ever necessary.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Of the 72 patients, females outnumbered males [M=35(48.61%), F=37 (51.39%)] with male to female ratio of 0.9 to 1. The mean age of presentation was 58±18 years. Majority of the patients (54%) were in the age group of 51 to 70 years followed by 31-50 years (25%). Least number of cases (9%) was in the age group of 21 to 30 years. Of the 72 subjects, thoracic involvement was noted in 30.6%, followed by lumbar (22%), and trigeminal (16%). Cervical (4%) and sacral (2%) involvement was the least. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Herpes zoster commonly occurs in old age and the presenting symptom being pain and burning sensation. Thoracic dermatome is the commonest site. Immunocompromised states like diabetes, malignancy and HIV can increase the risk of developing herpes zoster.</span></p>

Poisoning In Children

Background: Acute poisoning in children is one of the common causes for emergency hospital visit in developing countries. Objectives of the present research was aimed to study the magnitude, nature, age, sex, socioeconomic status and outcome of poisoning in children aged <15 years.Methods: This prospective study was conducted for a period of 1 year between January 2017 to December 2017, at S.V.S. Medical College and Hospital, Mahabubnagar, Telangana. All poisoning cases under the age of 15 years were included in this study.Results: Out of 1975 admitted patients, 98 (5%) cases were due to acute poisoning, 52 (53.1%) were males and 46 (46.9%) were females. The majority of the poisoning was accidental (78, 79.6%) in nature and found to be common in the age group of 0-5 years (69, 70.4%). Majority of children belonged to upper lower (35, 44.9%) and lower (20, 25.6%) socio-economic status. Kerosene (40, 40.8%) was the most common poisoning agent, followed by household compounds (22, 22.4%). 82 (83.7%) children had complete recovery, whereas 5 (5.5%) children died, all due to late visit to the hospital.Conclusions: Kerosene is the most common agent in paediatric poisoning in children, followed by household compounds. It is common in 0-5 years of age group and mostly accidental in nature. Corrosives were the common agent involved in suicidal poisoning.
