This prospective clinical study was designed on Outcome of induction of labour in post dated pregnancy. A randomized clinical trial was carried out at Sir Salimullah Medical College & Mitford Hospital Dhaka, during the period from November 2002 to June 2003. Sixty post dated pregnant patients, who were chosen for induction, were selected for this study. This study shows that the main method was oxytocin drip and second method was ARM + oxytocin drip, some cases induced by using oral prostaglandin and very few cases induced by intra cervical prostaglandin. 25 patients (65%) were induced by only oxytocin drip and failure rate was 32%, combined ARM and oxytocin drip applied on 25 patient and failure rate was 20%. From this study, it was found that efficacy of combined ARM and oxytocin drip method is superior then the only oxytocin drip method. Therefore combined ARM and oxytocin drip method can be used for induction of labour in post dated pregnancy.

In a recent randomized clinical trial, Wennerholm and colleagues compared induction of labour at 41 weeks with expectant management and induction at 42 weeks. The trial was stopped early, because six perinatal deaths occurred in the expectant management group, whereas none occurred in the induction group. Our Bayesian reanalysis finds that the SWEPIS data indeed support the hypothesis that induction of labour at 41 weeks of pregnancy is associated with a lower rate of stillbirths. However, the degree of this support is moderate at best, and arguably provides insufficient ground for terminating the study. In general, it seems hazardous to terminate clinical studies on the basis of a single P<0.05 result, without converging support of a Bayesian analysis.

It was hypothesized that the bioresorbable interposition implant might offer a viable alternative to conventional silicone implant arthroplasty in rheumatoid metacarpophalangeal joint destruction. A randomized clinical study was performed to compare a stemless poly-L/D-lactide copolymer 96: 4 (PLDLA) implant with the Swanson silicone implant. Results in 52 patients (53 hands and 175 joints) at a mean follow-up of 2 years (minimum 1 year) showed that the improvement in clinical assessments was comparable in both groups, except for better maintenance of palmar alignment in the Swanson group. The lack of implant fractures and intramedullary osteolysis were advantages of the PLDLA implant. The bioresorbable PLDLA interposition implant may offer an alternative tool for tailored reconstruction of rheumatoid metacarpophalangeal joints.

Introduction: Anastomotic urethroplasty is the treatment of choice for posterior urethral distraction defect. To notice the high failure rate of anastomotic urethroplasty, several peri-operative factors are identified. Among the per-operative factors, mucosal fixation of the both urethral ends is one of the outcome influencing factor that is recently identified. So, this randomized clinical trial has been designed to compare the outcome of anastomotic urethroplasty in posterior urethral distraction defects with or without mucosal fixation. Objective: To compare the outcome of anastomotic urethroplasty of PUDD patient groups with or without mucosal fixation in terms of post-operative IPSS, maximum urine flow rate and post void residual urine. Patients and Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of Urology, BSMMU between January’16 - November’17. Posterior urethral distraction defects with length of gap between two urethral segments upto 3 cm. were included in the study. The patients in whom anastomotic urethroplasty were done with mucosal fixation were enrolled as study group(n=21) and patients in whom anastomotic urethroplasty were done without mucosal fixation were included as control group(n=21). All the patients were followed upto 6 months of anstomotic urethroplasty and failure of anastomotic urethroplasty (by RGU and MCU), PVR and maximum urine flow rate (Qmax) in between two groups were compared. Result: The failure rate was found significantly higher in control group than in the study group (p=0.043). The control group showed highly significant (0.001) increase in postoperative PVR than the study group and the study group showed significant (0.007) increase in post operative maximum urine flow rate than the control group as was assumed in the hypothesis. Conclusion: In conclusion, it can be said that anastomotic urethroplasty with mucosal fixation is a better option than anstomotic urethroplasty without mucosal fixation. But multicentric trial is needed to further comment. Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 21, No. 1, January 2018 p.31-34
