Context: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are most commonly used drugs for years for management of pain and inflammation with good efficacy. NSAIDs are increasingly used for variety of indications like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), low back pain (LBP) etc. Prescribing patterns need to be evaluated periodically to increase the therapeutic efficacy, decrease adverse effects and provide feedback to prescribers. A prospective observational study was conducted among patients attending the Out Patient Department (OPD) of Orthopedic and received prescription for NSAIDs in the Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH) and Community Based Medical College Hospital (CBMCH) in Mymensingh. Material and Methods: The study was carried out on 300 (three hundreds) prescriptions for NSAIDs from orthopedic Out Patient Department (OPD) of Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH) and Community Based Medical College Hospital (CBMCH). A prospective observational study was conducted from January 2015 to December 2015. Data were collected only from the patients prescribed for NSAIDs and prescribing pattern of NSAIDs were analyzed using SPSS method version 20.1 Results: In case of orthopedic OPD patients most common NSAIDs prescribed to the patients was aceclofenac (29.33%). Others NSAIDs prescribed to the patient in pain management were ketorolac (10%), etoricoxib(8%), ibuprofen (9%), naproxen(9%), sulindac (7%) in orthopedic out patients of both Medical College Hospitals. Most of the NSAIDs were prescribed in brand name (85.34%) where only (14.76%) were prescribed in generic name in both hospitals. Conclusion: From the study it was observed that aceclofenac was the most common NSAIDS used in orthopedic OPD of CBMCH and indomethacin was the most common used NSAIDs in MMCH.

The spectra of the prevalence of skin diseases vary worldwide and from country to country. Therefore the information about the local prevalence of diseases is very important in helping the development of appropriate health improvement policies for promotion of better management. To document the types of skin disorders prevalent among rural children attending the Community Based Medical College Hospital out patient department, Mymensigh, a defined population based study was undertaken. The medical register from the Hospital was used to obtain information on pattern and outcome of skin diseases seen from January 2010 to December 2011. The frequency of pediatric dermatoses and their distribution patterns were studied. The results revealed that out of the 9279 Patients attending Dermatology out patient department of Community Based Medical College Hospital, 1753 (18.89%) Children were identified with involvement of skin diseases. Age range related to disease was found between one day old to 14 years. The most frequent skin condition was exposure to fungal diseases which was 25.67% followed by scabies 24.10% and eczema 20.25%. Infectious skin diseases represent considerably a high percentage of skin disorders encountered in pediatric population.

A prospective observational study on prescribing pattern of drugs in the geriatric patients was conducted in Navodaya Medical College Hospital and Research Centre. The present study aimed to study prescribing patterns of various drugs in elderly patients and to evaluate inappropriate prescribing with the help of beers criteria. A total of 100 patients of geriatric age group(>/65 years) was included in the study for the period of 3 months of which, most of the patients were in the age group of 65-70 years (79.24%), out of which 52 were male and 48 were females. Maximum subjects were prescribed with antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors followed by analgesics. A minimum of 5 drugs were prescribed in 46 cases, followed by 5-8 drugs in 36 cases, then more than 8 drugs were prescribed in around 18 cases. Based on beers criteria 23 patients received potentially inappropriate prescription of at least 1 drug and all these belongs to category A. The study concluded that there is need for careful application of the criteria by health care professional, consumers, payers and health systems should lead to closer monitoring of drug use.

Day by day road traffic accident in Bangladesh is increasing. Mymensingh-Dhaka highway passes beside the Community Based Medical College Hospital, Bangladesh. We often have to manage a greater number of traumatic patients. In road traffic accident the incidence of fracture shaft of femur is the most common. That's why my study was done to evaluate the result of management of fracture shaft of the femur with antegrade interlocking intramedullary nailing under the department of Orthopedic Surgery in CBMCH,B in the period between January 2009 to July 2013. Total 88 patients were selected for interlocking nailing initially in the study. Out of them 8 patients did not report in subsequent follow up. So the result of the study was based on 80 patients (48 males; 32 females) with the range of 20- 68 years of age. The average age of the patient was 36 years. Motor vehicle accidents was the most common cause of fracture shaft femur (65%) and the second most common cause was fall from height (20%) specially fall from tree. Among the patients; right sided femur involvement was 67.5% (54) and left sided femur involvement was 32.5% (26). The majority fracture of the shaft of the femur was lower third (70%). The patients were mostly in the day-laborers' groups (35%), and, the next group was students. The mean union time was 18 weeks with the range of 15-30 weeks. After operation, complications were found such as; infection 3.75%(3), non-union 1.25% (1). Excellent functional outcome was found in 82.5% (66), good in 12.5% (10), fair in 5%(4). This functional outcome study was evaluated by Klemm & Borner 1 criteria. CBMJ 2015 January: Vol. 04 No. 01 P: 13-17
