Background: The purpose of the study was to evaluate association of serum calcium concentration with preeclampsia. Method: This study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2016 to December 2016 including 120 antenatal patients in their second half of pregnancy. All the included patients were classified as 40 mild preeclampsia (Group A) 40 severe preeclampsia (Group B) and 40 normal pregnant women (Group C). Serum calcium was estimated in the Department of Biochemistry and correlated with preeclampsia. Result: In results the mean serum calcium concentration was found 8.2±0.2mg /dl in Group A, 7.6 ± 0.3 mg/dl in Group B and 9.0±0.5 mg/dl in Group C (p=0.001). Low serum calcium was found 53.7% and 12.5% in case and control respectively. The difference was statistically significant (p=<0.05) between case and control groups having OR=8.1 with 95% CI (2.7 - 26.5) %. Pearson’s correlation test revealed that both systolic and diastolic blood pressure had negative correlation with the serum calcium concentration (p=<0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion this study showed that low serum calcium is associated with preeclampsia and its concentration inversely proportional to the severity of preeclampsia and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome remains as one of the most important causes for morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Therefore, evidence-based management strategy is required to offset the loss of health during an acute coronary syndrome. An effective approach includes both medical and surgical methods. This study was conducted to evaluate the medical method of management. Objective: To study blood pressure and heart rate variability after administration of Ivabradine or metoprolol in cases with acute coronary syndrome. Materials and methods: The study was a Prospective single center observational study conducted in patients attending Cardiology Intensive Care Unit in Nayyar Heart and Superspecialty Hospital, a tertiary care centre located in an urban area. All patients with Acute coronary syndrome admitted to the emergency or cardiac care unit were analysed with ECG as a preliminary diagnostic test and confirmed with troponin markers. They were either given Ivabradine or Metoprolol. Baseline evaluation and follow up was done and necessary data was collected and analysed.   Results: 100 patients were included in the study out of which 50 were given Metoprolol (Group A) and 50 were given Ivabradine (Group B). Themean age of studied cases was found to be 66.54 years in group A and 68.69 years in group B. It was observed that there was a fall in heart rate by 26.8 beats per minute with beta blocker and 24.4 beats per minute with Ivabradine. In case of blood pressure measurement, in patients with beta blocker administration, there was a fall of 25 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure and 17 mm Hg in diastolic blood pressure However, with Ivabradine there was only a fall of 8mm Hg in systolic Blood pressure and 6 mm Hg in diastolic blood pressure. Conclusion: Although Metoprolol is the drug of choice to decrease heart rate and blood pressure in acute coronary syndrome, Ivabradine is being increasingly used in cases where beta blockers are contraindicated as it has similar efficacy in lowering heart rate without compromising contractility of cardiac muscle, thereby maintaining LVEF and blood pressure. Keywords: Acute coronary syndrome, Beta Blockers, Metoprolol, Ivabradine.

Abstract Epidemiological studies have suggested that cold is an important contributor to acute cardiovascular events and mortality. However, little is known about the Diurnal Temperature Range(DTR)impact on mortality of the patients with myocardial infarction.Calcium ions(Ca2+)play a vital role in the human body, such as cardiac electrophysiology and contraction.To investigate whether DTR on admission moderates the association between serum calcium and in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI). This retrospective study enrolled consecutive adult patients with AMI at a single center in China (2003–2012). Patients were divided into four groups (Ca-Q1–4) according to serum calcium concentration quartiles. Multivariate logistic regression modeling was used to assess whether DTR moderated the association between serum calcium and in-hospital mortality. The predictive value of serum calcium was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and net reclassification improvement (NRI) analyses.The study included 3780 patients.In-hospital mortality was 4.97%(188/3780).DTR moderated the association between serum calcium and in-hospital mortality(P-interaction=0.020).Patients with low serum calcium in the highest DTR quartile exhibited an increased risk of in-hospital mortality(odds ratio for Ca-Q4 vs.Ca-Q1, 0.03;95%confidence interval[95%CI], 0.01–0.20;P for trend<0.001).In the highest DTR quartile, adding serum calcium concentration to the risk factor model increased the area under the ROC curve(0.81 vs.0.76;P<0.001)and increased NRI by 20.2%(95%CI 7.5–32.9;P=0.001).Low serum calcium was an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality in patients with AMI, and this association was moderated by DTR.Careful attention should be paid to patients with low serum calcium who experience a higher DTR on admission.

Abstract Background Asthma exacerbations are acute or subacute episodes of breathlessness, cough, wheezing, and chest tightness, or any combination of these symptoms. Exacerbations are associated with airways obstruction that should be documented and quantified by PEF or FEVI measurement. Early treatment of asthma exacerbations should be the best strategy for management. Objective To compare fast effectiveness between the nebulized salbutamol with normal Saline and salbutamol with magnesium sulphate by nebulizer in treatment of acute asthma. Patients and Methods: This two armed prospective randomized study included 60 patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit, Ain Shams University Hospital from July 2019 to July 2020. Patients were randomized into two equal groups: group A which included 30 patients on salbutamol nebulization and group B that included 30 patients on combination of salbutamol and magnesium sulphate. Results systolic blood pressure, diastolic Bl. P and FEVI were higher among salbutamol group (A) than combination group (B), meanwhile HR and 02% were significantly lower among group A than group B with statistically insignificant differences (p &gt; 0.05). Group A had significantly higher mean of RR (20±1.33) than group B (17.2 ±1.14) (p &lt; 0.001). Also, Group A had significantly higher mean of PEFR (217.5 ±74.72) than group B (125±78.05) (p = 0.014). There were significant differences between in group A in HR and 02% before and after TTT (p &lt; 0.05). With treatment, the pulse rate rose significantly (p = 0.010) but there was no significant change in the systolic or diastolic blood pressure. The 02% rose significantly (p&lt;O.001). There were significant differences between in group B in RR, HR, 02%, PEFR and FEVI before and after TTT (p &lt; 0.05). With treatment, the respiratory rate declined significantly (p &lt; 0.001), the pulse rate declined significantly (p = 0.013) in but there was no significant change in the systolic or diastolic blood pressure. The PEFR rose significantly (p = 0.001) and also the 02% rose significantly (p &lt; 0.001). Conclusion Nebulized MgS04, either alone or combined with salbutamol, has a clinically significant bronchodilator effect in acute asthma. This suggests that a combination of MgS04 and salbutamol may be the best choice for the management of acute exacerbations of asthma.

Objective: To compare the efficacy and tolerability of Losartan and Atenolol in alone and combination in treatment of hypertension. Study Design: Comparative study. Setting: Medical out patients department of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre Karachi from January 2007 to June 2007. Methods: There were 60 patients previously untreated with mild and moderate essential hypertensions were registered for study. The selected patients were divided into three groups. Group A was given atenolol, Group B was given Losartan, and Group C was given both drugs. The target blood pressure was 120-140/80-90 mmHg. There were 42 males and 18 females with age range 25-65 years. Results: The mean baseline score of groups A, B and C were showed systolic blood pressure 182±19, 174 ± 20 and 168 ± 12 respectively. The diastolic blood pressure was 104.5±11, 102.5±9 and 104.5±10 respectively. The difference in mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure was not significant statistically as P = 0.06 and 0.76 respectively. After 4 months of treatment with atenolol, systolic blood pressure decreased to 147±17, and diastolic blood pressure fell to 87±4. Losartan decreased systolic blood pressure 138±13 and diastolic blood pressure 87±4 in 4 months of treatment. The combined therapy decreased systolic blood pressure 115±4.6 and diastolic blood pressure 75±4.7. The effect of treatments on systolic and diastolic blood pressure was significantly different as (p < 0.001) and ( p = 0.036) respectively. Side effects observed in 2 (10%) patients from group C, 8 (40%) in group A and 4 (20%) in group B. Combination therapy proved more effective in controlling hypertension than mono therapy and also fewer side effects. Patients showed better control on combination therapy as compared to mono therapy. Losartan proved a little better in controlling hypertension then atenolol and was more expensive. Conclusion: Patients showed better results with combination therapy for hypertension compared to individual drug.

To compare the haemodynamic changes between LMA insertion & endotracheal intubation, 60 patients were assigned randomly to one of the two groups of thirty each. They were grouped randomly by card sampling. Every patient included in the study was allowed a card preoperatively. According to the card number patients were grouped. Group A. Airway was maintained by LMA. Group B: Airway was maintained by ETT. Haemodynamic parameter i.e. pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and presence of any dysrhythmia were monitored after 1,3,5 & 10 minutes after LMA insertion or ETT intubations. There was statistically significant changes (P<0.05) in pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and (appearance of dysrhythmia in some patients) in group ti patients whereas there was less changes in pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure whose airway was maintained by LMA insertion (Group-A). We conclude that LMA insertion causes less Haemodynamic changes than that of endotracheal intubation. So LMA insertion is safer than ETT intubations in some selected patients.   Journal of BSA, Vol. 19, No. 1 & 2, 2006 p.28-32
