ABSTRACT Objectives To study the role of transplacental transmission and environmental factors in neonatal sepsis (0-3) days and incidence of early neonatal sepsis in obstetrics and gynecology wards of MGM Medical College Hospital. Materials and methods The study was carried out on 100 full term women and their babies who delivered in MGM hospital. Their cord blood cultures were done. The nasal carrier state for Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in all the health professionals working in labor room was also studied. Results S. aureus was the most common organism grown in cord cultures of woman who delivered vaginally. None of the babies followed in wards showed any Sign of sepsis in first 72 hours. More than 50% of health professionals working in labor room were carriers of S. aureus. Conclusion S. aureus is having environmental source and it causes late neonatal sepsis so none of the babies developed any Sign of sepsis in first 72 hours of life. Other organisms isolated probably responded to intrapartum antibiotics or maternal immunity played its role and so babies did not showed any s/o sepsis in first 3 days.

Stroke is one of the commonest causes of death and disability in the world. Hypertension is the greatest treatable risk factor for both ischernic and hemorrhagic stroke. This study was carried out in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital to observe the incidence of stroke among hypertensive patients and to compare the occurrence of stroke among patients who were taking anti-hypertensive drugs regularly and those who were taking irregularly. Hundred stroke patients with hypertension were selected randomly. Ischemic stroke 66% and hemorrhagic stroke 34% was observed. Majority (64%) of hypertensive patient was treated irregularly and only 36% patients were treated regularly with drugs. Incidence of ischemic (66.6%) and hemorrhagic (58.8%) stroke was increased in irregularly antihypertensive treatment patients.TAJ 2014; 27(2): 30-32

Tracheostomy is a life saving and important surgical procedure throughout the world from long since. Minimum number of study were conducted on tracheostomy in our setting. Based on number, probably Dhaka Medical College Hospital is one of the top institute in the world, where highest number of tracheostomy is being operated (3-10 per day). So, our purpose of this study is to describe our own experiences, regarding indication, complication , decanulation, morbidity and mortality following tracheostomy and to compare the results with the institutes of other countries of the world. Methods It is a prospective observational study, conducted at Dhaka Medical College Hospital from July 2014 to June 2019. Data were collected from the Registers of emergency and elective operation theatre, indoor, intensive care unit (ICU) and medical record room (where file of all patients are being kept for long time). SPSS software was used for data processing and analysis. Prior to the study ethical approval was obtained from Ethical review committee. Results Total 257 patients were selected for the study. Among them 210 (81.71%) were male and 47 (18.29%) were female. Most of the patients were elderly, above sixty years. Commonest indication for tracheostomy were upper airway obstruction due to laryngeal or other head neck cancer in 70.04% of patients. Next important indication was upper airway obstruction due to trauma in 24.9% cases. Most of the time (82.88%) we had to perform Emergency tracheostomy. Longitudinal or
