Background: The present study was conducted to know the status of ADRs caused due to the first line ART in the ART center of SMS Hospital Jaipur, Rajasthan. This study would be beneficial to the HIV infected patients, with the ultimate goal of improving the tolerability and effectiveness of HIV treatment by promoting the early recognition of potentially serious adverse effects. Methods: Hospital based Prospective, Observational study conducted after approval by research review board and ethics committee SMS Medical College Jaipur (Rajasthan). WHO definition of ADR was used (any response to a medicine which is noxious and unintended and which occurs at doses normally used in man). The detail of ADRs collected including suspected drug involved, treatment given for ADRs and outcome. Results: Majority of ADRs were related to central and peripheral nervous system related 55 (47%) followed by gastro intestinal 28 (23.9%), dermatological 15 (12.8%), musculoskeletal 9 (7.7%) and metabolic 5 (4.3%). Conclusion: Majority of ADRs were related to central and peripheral nervous system related followed by gastro intestinal. Keywords: ADRs, HIV, WHO.

Background: Lung cancer is among the five main types of cancer leading to overall cancer mortality contributing about 1.3 million deaths/year globally. Completion of treatment among lung cancer patients is one of key factor for the survival and longevity of patients. So, we have tried to find out prevalence of treatment default through this study.Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study (including retrospective secondary and prospective primary data) using data base of patients of primary lung cancer diagnosed between 1st January 2006 to 31st December 2012 in indoor and outdoor of department of Respiratory Medicine, J.L.N. Medical College, Ajmer, a tertiary level hospital and teaching center.Results: Incidence of lung cancer is significantly higher among young female (10.23%) as compared to young male (8.74 %). Whereas in older group number of male suffering from lung cancer than female. Total 269 (20.7%) patients defaulted from planned treatment and most of them ultimately drop-out from chemotherapy cycles. Intercycle delay of 2 weeks-1m commonly seen.Conclusions: It provides future implication to researchers to explore reasons of these defaults and drop outs so that more evidences can be generated in this direction for the ultimate betterment of lung cancer patients.

Background: Giving colostrum to a newborn has been called the “first immunisation” of the child. Colostrum and breast milk have definite anti-infective properties and have shown to have an impact on reducing specific morbidity and mortality rates among infants. The objectives of the study were to determine the level of knowledge about early initiation of breast feeding amongst mothers and to study determinants of initiation of breast feeding.Methods: Cross-sectional analytical study was carried out at a tertiary care hospital of a medical college in Pune. Systematic random sampling method was used.Results: The subjects came predominantly from joint families, urban area, Hindu by religion and Class II Socio economic status (Kuppuswamy classification). Majority of (84.23%) mothers responded that they initiated breast feeding within 1 hour after birth. Most (95.25%) of the mothers agreed for giving colostrums. About half of the mothers interviewed believed that breast milk is more nutritious (49.5%) while 28% mothers said that feeding babies with breast milk protects them against infections.Conclusions: All doctors and paramedical personnel in the Government and private institutions ensure that lactation begins immediately after birth and prelacteal feeds are withheld.

Background: An empyema is a purulent collection in the pleural space. Empyema Thoracis is a disease that, despite centuries of study, still causes significant morbidity & mortality. It is very commonly seen in children all over the world, more frequently as a complication of pneumonic infections. Pediatric empyema has a much more favorable prognosis compared to adult cases. Empyema thoracic is a common complication of pneumonia. Children of poor socio-economic status and below 3 years of age are most commonly affected.  Methods: The present prospective observational study was conducted in Department of Surgery, Pediatric Surgery unit, Pt. J. N. M. Medical College and Dr. B. R. A. M. Hospital, Raipur (C.G.) during study period July 2011 to October 2012. This study includes 40 study subjects of the patients of empyema who were diagnosed by the aspiration of gross pus from the pleural space. Complete History was taken, and physical examination was performed in all the cases.Results: The commonest symptoms at presentation were fever seen in 40 patients (100%), cough with expectoration seen in 36 patients (50%-90%) and dyspnea seen in 32 patients (80%). Left pleura was more commonly affected than the right pleura. The most common organism isolated were Staphylococcus aureus in 28 patients (70%), followed by Klebsiella in 7 patients (17.50%), then E.coli in 3 patients (7.5%) & Streptococcal species in 2 patients (5%). The use of antibiotic therapy alone was effective in 25 patients (62.50%) Antibiotic therapy along with tube thoracostomy was required in 15 patients (37.50%). Operative intervention was required in none of the patients. Out of 40 patients, 28 (70%) had complete lung expansion, while 12 (30%) had only partial expansion. Patients with partial expansion mainly comprised of those who presented late in the course of the disease.Conclusions: It is concluded from the study that early diagnosis and management is critically important in reducing the unfavourable outcome in pediatric espuma thoracis cases.
