<p><strong>Background:</strong> The common clustering of glucose intolerance, abdominal adiposity, high triglyceride level, low high­density lipoprotein cholesterol level and high blood pressure in a single individual is referred to as Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and it is associated with ischaemic heart disease (IHD). <strong>Objectives:</strong> To find out the relationship between MS and lHD. <strong>Design:</strong> Cross sectional observational study. <strong>Materials:</strong> 100 subjects were selected following simple random sampling technique. 50 patients of MS and another 50 non MS were enrolled as case and controlled respectively in the department of medicine and cardiology at Sylhet M.A. G. Osmani medical college hospital. <strong>Results:</strong> Proportion of IHD was found to be high among the MS (40%) compared to non MS (16%) and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.008) indicating there is a relationship between MS and lliD. Among the components of MS proportion of hyperten­sion (39.2%), diabetes mellitus (41.9%), dyslipidernia (42.6%) and family history of cardiovascular disease (47.1 %) had significant higher association with patients with IHD (p&lt;0.05). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The MS has a significant association with IHD by electrocardiogram criteria.</p>

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is one of the four leading causes of death globally. An important risk factor for IHD is metabolic syndrome. The definition of metabolic syndrome is not universally agreed. The most commonly used definition was proposed by the National Cholesterol Education Program – Adult Treatment panel III ( NCEP—ATP III ), where metabolic syndrome defined as involving three or more of the following criteria: Blood pressure > 130/85 mm of Hg, fasting blood sugar > 100 mg / dl, triglyceride level > 150mg / dl, high density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C) < 40mg / dl in men and < 50mg/ dl in women, and abdominal circumference > 102 cm in men and > 88 cm in women.I- which is characterized by clustering of central obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. This cross sectional analytical study was carried out in the Department of Biochemistry, Dhaka Medical college. The samples were collected from the Department of Cardiology of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Bangladesh Institute of Research on Diabetes Endocrine and Metabolic Disorder (BIRDEM), and National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), Dhaka, during the period from July 2009 to June 2010. Age distribution of study group shows that majority of the IHD patients with or without metabolic syndrome were in 41-60 years of age group. In the present study the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in IHD patients was found to be 30%. Prevalence was higher in less then 50 years of age group. The prevalence was also higher in female than male.J Dhaka Medical College, Vol. 23, No.2, October, 2014, Page 157-160

A hospital based cross sectional study was carried out to analyze prevalence of risk factors for stroke in hospitalized patient in a medical college hospital. 100 patients were chosen using purposive sampling technique. Highest incidence of stroke was between the 6th and 7th decade. Patients came from both urban (54%) and rural (46%) areas and most of them belong to the low-income group (47%). In occupational category; service holder (28%) and retired person (21%) were the highest groups. Most of the study subjects were literate (63%). CT scan study revealed that the incidence of ischaemic stroke was 61% and haemorrhagic stroke 39%. Analysis indicated hypertension as major risk factor for stroke (63%) and major portion of the patients (42.85%) were on irregular or no treatment. Twenty four percent of the patients had heart diseases and out of 24 patients 45.83% were suffering from ischaemic heart disease. The present study detected diabetes in 21% patients. Fifty three percent of the study subjects were smoker, 39% patients had habit of betelnut chewing. Out of 26 female patients, only 23% had history of using oral contraceptives. Majority of the patients were sedentary workers (46%). Thirty seven percent of the stroke patients were obese. Among the stroke patients 9% had previous history of stroke and 3% had TIA respectively. Most of the patients (21%) were awake while they suffered from stroke and the time of occurrence was mostly in the afternoon (46%). This study found that hypertension, cigarette smoking, ischaemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus are the major risk factors prevalent in our community while other risk factors demand further study.

Background Medical students are more prone to burnout than the general population and students of other faculties due to the demanding nature of medical education with limited time and resources. Burnout has a negative impact on the academics and personal life of the students which can continue into their professional life and ultimately hamper patient care. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of burnout among medical students of a medical college and find its association with age, gender, and year of study. Materials and methods This cross-sectional study was conducted among medical students of a medical college in Kathmandu, Nepal from 14 January to 7 March, 2021. Stratified sampling followed by a simple random sampling technique was employed to select study participants. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire using the English version of the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory adapted for students (OLBI-S) and analyzed in STATA version 15. Results The prevalence of burnout was found out to be 65.9% (n = 229). And of the remaining, 12.7% were exhausted, 11.4% were disengaged and 10.0% were neither exhausted nor disengaged. Burnout had no significant association with age in years, gender, and year of study. Conclusions This study shows an alarming prevalence of burnout in almost two-thirds of medical students. These results indicate the necessity of employing effective strategies by relevant authorities for the mental well-being of future physicians. Further multicenter prospective studies are required for a better understanding of the prevalence and associated factors of burnout.
