OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of Endodontic Postgraduate trainees regarding clinically relevant situations where an antibiotic cover is needed and is focused on the prescription patterns of various antibiotics depending on the clinical evaluation of the patients. METHODOLOGY: A cross sectional study was performed in which data was collected from five different dental institutes offering post-graduate residency in endodontics all over Karachi, Pakistan. Preferred antibiotic for odontogenic infections and the duration for the antibiotic coverage were evaluated amongst postgraduate clinicians. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed out of which only 82 questionnaires came back with responses. The study was conducted for a period of one month from August 2018- September 2018. The data collected was analyzed by SPSS version 21. RESULTS: A combination of amoxicillin with Clavulanic acid was the first choice of antibiotic in patients with no known allergies to penicillin (40.6%), whereas erythromycin was the first choice of antibiotic in patients having allergic reactions to penicillin (39.3%). The duration of treatment on average was 5 days. In clinical situations of irreversible pulpitis, with or without apical periodontitis, 74.3% and 67% of the respondents prescribed antibiotics. 78 % of respondents have prescribed antibiotics in cases of necrotic pulp with acute apical periodontitis. CONCLUSION: Our study concludes that antibiotic over prescription is very common amongst post graduate trainees and is contributing towards a larger issue of antibiotic resistance. Proper protocols of prescription should be followed by professionals and further refinement is required focusing on need, duration and choice of the antibiotic being used.

Objective:(1)To audit cases of abdominal hysterectomy performed by post graduate tainees. (2) Toevaluate mortality and morbidity rate. Study Design: An observational Study. Setting: Department of Obstetrics andgynaecology, Allied Hospital Faisalabad. Period: From 01-01-2005 to 30-06-2006. Material & Methods:120 casesof abdominal hysterectomies done for non obstetric and benign gynaecological conditions were selected for study.Results: The most common indications for hysterectomy was DUB (43.3%). Overall intra operative complicationsdeveloped in 5 patients (4.1%). Post operative complications developed in 9 patients (7.5%). The mean duration ofhospital stay was 5.5 days. No case of death was recorded in the study. Conclusion: This study demonstrates thatabdominal hysterectomy can be safely done even during the learning curve of the post graduate trainees with the lowcomplication rate, shorter hospital stay and without significant mortality.

Purpose: We assess the variations between post-graduate trainees (PGTs) and attending urologists in applying the Revised Clavien-Dindo Classification System (RCCS) to urological complications.Methods: Twenty postoperative complications were selected from urology service Quality Assurance meeting minutes spanning 1 year at a tertiary care centre. The cases were from adult and pediatric sites and included minor and major complications. After a briefing session to review the RCCS, the survey was administered to 16 attending urologists and 16 PGTs. Concordance rates between the two groups were calculated for each case and for the whole survey. Inter-rater agreement was calculated by kappa statistics.Results: There was good overall agreement rate of 81% (range: 30-100) when both groups were compared. Thirteen of the 20 cases (65%) held an agreement rate above 80% (k = 0.753, p < 0.001) including 3 (15%) cases with 100% agreement. There were only 2 cases where the scores given by PGTs were significantly different from that given by attending urologists (p ≤ 0.03). There was no significant difference between both groups in terms of overall RCCS grades (p = 0.12). When all participants were compared as one group, there was good overall inter-rater agreement rate of 75% (k = 0.71). Although the percent of overall agreement rate among PGTs was higher than the attending urologists (82% [k = 0.79] vs. 69% [k = 0.64]), this was not significantly different (p = 0.68).Conclusion: There was good overall agreement among PGTs and attending urologists in application of the RCCS in urology. Therefore, it is appropriate for PGTs to complete the Quality Assurance meeting reports.

Myofunctional appliance are considered by many authorities orthopedic in nature, influencing the facial skeleton of the growing child in the condylar and suture areas. They also exert an orthodontic effect on the dent-alveolar area. Among these activator is the most well-known myofunctional appliance. The article describes the myofunctional appliance and its technique training, design, steps in preparation of Class II and Class III activator in sequential stages with illustrated case reports, treating class III molar relationship with crowded arch in maxilla and anterior cross bite. The Author acknowledges that the article is summarized from the lectures, handouts during his postgraduate studies in Kyushu University and Hiroshima University, Japan and from his experience from Dhaka Dental College and private practice at Ortho Dental Care. This article is a continuation of the series of technique training in orthodontics especially for the post-graduate trainees as well as for the practitioners who will learn and practice functional appliance specially activators. Once again, I believe that post-graduate trainee doctors, faculty members, private practitioners and all other concerned will find this article as a guide line during their training as well as in their professional practicing period.

In Pregnancy

It is a matter of great pleasure to bring out the first issue of Bengal Journal of Psychiatry for the year 2015. Apart from original and review articles, we have included two CME articles: First one on “psychotropics in pregnancy” and the second one on “role of mindfulness in psychiatry”; both are of relevance to current post graduate trainees in psychiatry. We have also launched the long-awaited website for our journal (bengaljournalpsychiatry.org) which will strongly boost up the indexing process. The archiving of old issues of the journal and uploading them in the website is also being done. Once complete, this will help readers to access all issues of the journal from the website and individual articles will be downloadable. I would like to thank all the authors for their valuable contributions without which it would not have been possible to bring the journal in its current shape!
