Background: Surgical management of simple mandibular angle fracture is a very crucial process.Objective: The purpose of the present study was to compare the post-operative outcomes of intermaxillary fixation and open reduction with internal fixation of simple mandibular angle fracture.Methodology: This randomized control trial was conducted in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Dhaka Dental College & Hospital, Dhaka and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2010 to December 2010 for a period of one (01) year. Among all patients admitted/attended to the hospital IPD with fracture of mandibular angle with or without other associated fracture sites were selected as study subjects. After recruitment of the patients, they were assigned either as group A or group B after randomization. In group A the patients of this group were treated by open reduction and internal miniplate fixation with additional placement of intermaxillary fixation; in group B the patients of this group were treated by open reduction and internal miniplate fixation without any additional placement of intermaxillary fixation. During follow up period stability of fracture segments, post reduction alignment and inter-incisal opening were recorded.Result: A total of 30 patients presented with mandibular angle fractures were included in the study. They were allocated in two groups named miniplate osteosynthesis with Inter-maxillary fixation group (n=16) and without inter-maxillary fixation group (n=14) randomly. Time required to accomplish the surgical procedures was significantly high (p=0.000) group A (99.38±15.26 minutes) than group B (55.38±6.34 minutes). Among them 01 patient developed instability after inter-maxillary fixation. And 01 patient developed such in other procedure; however this difference is not statistically significant (p=0.724). In post operative radiography the mean score of post reduction alignment was slightly higher in group A than group B which was 2.50±0.516 and 2.214±0.426 respectively (p=0.107). The inter-incisal opening in baseline was 14.69 and 18.14 in group A and group B respectively. However, in review 3 it was found 36.19 and 37.64 in group A and group B respectively (p=0.0001).Conclusion: In conclusion significantly less operative time was required to accomplish the operative procedure in without IMF group as well as there was also a significant difference of inter-incisal opening between two procedures in subsequent review findingsJournal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, 2018;4(2): 108-112

Abstract Objective: To compare the outcomes of intraoral versus extraoral approach in the treatment of mandibular angle fracture. Method: The randomised controlled trail was conducted at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Mayo Hospital, Lahore Pakistan, from September 2016 to March 2017, and comprised patients of mandibular angle fracture who were divided into two equal extraoral group A and intraoral group B. . Baseline and post-operative data on 1st and 7th days as well as 3 months following the surgery was collected. Data was analysed using SPSS 20. Results: Of the 100 patients, there were 50(50%) in each of the two groups. Mean age of group A was 32.28±7.79 years compared to 33.72±8.13 years in group B. There were 39 (78%) males in group A and 36(72%) in group B. The mean pain score at baseline in the groups was not significantly different (p=0.795). On the 7th day and 3 months post-operation, mean pain score was significantly lower in group A (p=0.002). Nerve complication in group A was significantly high compared to group A (p=0.005). Conclusion: Extra oral approach for the management of mandibular angle fracture is better with regards to pain while intra-oral approach is less associated with nerve complications.

Mandibular angle fractures are frequently encountered as they constitute an area of weakness. Complications after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of angle fractures commonly arise due to improper reduction and fixation methods that fail to counteract the dynamic muscle forces present in this region. Conventional reduction methods such as digital manipulation, intermaxillary fixation, towel clip traction, and wiring are associated with various limitations. This technical note highlights the fabrication and use of a computer-aided designing/computer-aided manufacturing–generated splint for ORIF of a superiorly displaced mandibular angle fracture. The splint consisted of 2 components: (1) a distal tooth-borne component to guide the teeth into maximum intercuspation and (2) a proximal bone-borne component to reduce the angle fracture. This composite splint facilitates simultaneous restoration of occlusion as well as reduction of mandibular angle fractures. The advantages of this technique include the following: (1) easy fabrication of splint, (2) easy and precise anatomical reduction of angle fracture, and (3) less operative time.

Background: Post-operative outcomes of a major abdominal surgery depend on careful & effective post-operative management. But it is a critical job especially in children. Obtaining adequate analgesia after major surgery is a problematic issue and postoperative pain still imposes a major burden of suffering in surgical patients.Objectives: The principle objectives of the study is to evaluate the effects of intravenous lidocaine infusion in pain management of pediatric population undergone in major abdominal surgery; to reduce post-operative morbidity & enhance better surgical outcome in children.Methodology: This is a randomized control trial carried out from January 2015-June2015,in a tertiary care hospital among 60 cases of 4 to 14 years children with major abdominal surgery without having any pulmonary, cardiac, hepatic or renal insufficiency. Grouping of patients that is lidocaine infusion group (Group A) and control group (Group B) was made among admitted cases for elective abdominal surgery by simple random technique by means of lottery. For assessment of postoperative pain FLACC Scale was used in both groups. Clinical examination findings & specifically designed data collection sheet with a set questionnaire were used as research instruments. Formulated data was analyzed by SPSS version 17, taking p value <0.05 as significant.Results: It is noted that, after 24 hours of operation most of the patients 56.7% of group A had mild pain whereas 90% patients of group B had moderate pain (p<0.001)& during that time there was no patient with severe pain in group A whereas in group B 10% patients were with severe pain. At 48 hours, pain was absent in 13.3% children of group A and 6.7% in group B. In group A most of the children 76.7%had mild pain compared to moderate pain 18 (60%) in group B children at that hours (P<0.001). Again, regarding required amount of analgesics, patients received I/V lidocaine required less amount of analgesics than its counterpart. In present study, complications was noted only 3.3% patien in group A, where as in the opposite group it was found in 23.3% & p was <0.05. In group A, in 50% patients post operative bowel sound was returned within 72 hours, compared to 73.3% patients in group B. The p value was 0.001. About post-operative hospital stay, 83.3% children of the group A were released from hospital after 5th P.O.D whereas, in group B, only 50% children were released after 7th P.O.D of operation. The P value was 0.03 that is also significant.Conclusion: Intravenous lidocaine could improve immediate and late post-operative pain with early recovery after major abdominal surgery in children & it can contribute to rapid postoperative rehabilitation programs.J Shaheed Suhrawardy Med Coll, June 2018, Vol.10(1); 23-27

Urolithiasis is the third most common disease of the urinary tract. Among all urinary tract stones, majorities are ureteral stones located in the distal part of the ureters. At present, multimodalities of treatment are available to the urologists. The purpose of the present study was to observe the efficacy of Tamsulosin in conventional treatment of juxtavesical ureteric stone having size up to 8 mm. This was a single centered, parallel randomized control trial carried out in the outpatient department of Urology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka from July 2007 to June 2008. The patients with unilateral, juxtavesical ureteral stone with normal functioning kidney and absence of clinical and laboratory signs of urinary tract infection and stone size up to 8 mm were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the computer generated simple random sampling. Patients of Group-A  were given conventional hydrotherapy treatment and patients of Group-B were given Tamsulosin 0.4mg/day along with the conventional hydrotherapy. Each patient was followed-up weekly until stone expulsion for 4 weeks. In Group-A and Group-B, the mean age with SD was 38.55±10.05 and 37.7±9.33 years. Expulsion occurred in 32 (53.33%) of 60 patients in Group-A and 51 (85%) of 60 patients in Group-B (p <0.05). The number of pain episodes in this study was statistically significantly lower in Group-B patients compared to Group-A (p <0.05). Urinary tract infection was encountered in 12 (20%) patients of Group-A and 2 (3.33%) patients of Group-B (p <0.05) during four weeks therapy which was treated by appropriate antibiotics. No side effects of Tamsulosin were encountered in any patients of Group-B which could require the cessation of the medication or might need for dose titration. Findings of the study revealed that the Tamsulosin supplemented conventional therapy is more effective than conventional hydrotherapy alone in management of juxtavesical ureteral stones.

Background: Treatment of granular myringitis (GM) is diverse with no definitive management. Objective: The aim of the present study was to see the effectiveness of different interventions for treating granular myringitis. Methodology: This was a single centred, parallel, randomized control trial. This study was done at the Specialized ENT Hospital of SAHIC, Dhaka from July 2010 to June 2012. Patients presenting with granular myringitis of 18 years of age or more with both sexes were included. All patients were divided into two groups by simple random sampling method of which patients of group A were treated by surgical treatment and that of group B were treated by medical treatment. Medical treatment was given in the form of topical ear drops and surgical treatment was performed by surgical debridement of granulation tissue followed by chemical cauterization. Repeated follow up was performed up to 6 months in both groups of treated patients. The primary outcome was the resolution of granulation tissue. During follow-up the secondary outcome variables were recurrence, perforation of the TM and any other complications or complain from the patients. Results: A total number of 60 patients were studied of which 30 patients were treated medically and 30 patients were treated surgically. The cure rate was higher in surgical treatment (80%) than conservative (16.7%) (p=0.011). The recurrence rate (17.24%) is also less in surgical group compared to medical treatment group (77.27%) (p=0.001). Conclusion: Surgical treatment is a more successful treatment modality for granular myringitis. Journal of National Institute of Neurosciences Bangladesh, 2019;5(1): 64-68

Abstrak          Penggunaan Propofol untuk induksi pada general anestesi dapat menyebabkan  hipotensi akibat vasodilatasi arteri dan vena terutama vena kapasitan ditungkai. Manuver elevasi tungkai dapat mempertahankan stabilitas hemodinamik dengan meningkatkan aliran balik vena ke jantung dan mengurangi penumpukan darah di vena kapasitan tungkai. Penelitian ini dirancang dengan menggunakan cara Open Randomized Control Trial. Subyek penelitian adalah 184 sampel pasien dewasa ASA I-II yang menjalani operasi elektif dengan menggunakan general anestesi dengan induksi propofol. Kelompok sampel penelitian dibagi dalam dua kelompok masing-masing berjumlah 92 orang. Setelah prabeban cairan RL 10 cc/kgbb dan pemberian fentanyl 2 mcg/kgbb dan midazolam 0,05 mg/kgbb maka kelompok A dilakukan elevasi tungkai 45º satu menit sebelum induksi propofol dan dipertahankan sampai penelitian selesai. Sedangkan kelompok B tidak dilakukan elevasi tungkai. Data yang dikumpulkan dianalisa dengan uji t tes. Untuk data proporsi dilakukan analisa dengan tes chi-square. Dari data demografi tidak didapatkan perbedaan yang bermakna secara statistik (p>0,05) antara kedua kelompok penelitian kecuali untuk BMI (p<0,05). Insidensi hipotensi  menit pertama pasca induksi propofol pada kelompok A (elevasi tungkai) secara signifikan lebih rendah (12%) dibanding kelompok kontrol B  (27,2%) (p=0,016; p < 0,05). Pada menit ketiga pasca induksi juga didapatkan insidensi hipotensi kelompok A  (15,2%) signifikan lebih rendah dibanding kelompok B (23,9%) (p= 0,014; p < 0,05). Elevasi tungkai 45 derajat efektif dalam menurunkan insidensi hipotensi pasca induksi propofol.  Kata kunci: propofol, hipotensi, elevasi tungkai AbstractThe induction of general anaesthesia with propofol may induce of considerable degree of hypotension that has been atributed to decrease in systemic vascular resistance  caused by combination of venous and arterial vasodilatation. It will produce a shifting  of blood to venous reservoir, especially capacitance venule of legs. Leg elevation can provide hemodynamic stability by increases cardiac preload and recruits blood contained in the venous reservoir. This is Open Randomized Control Trial include 184 elective surgery patients with American Society of Anaesthesiologist (ASA) physical status I and II. Anesthesia  was induced with propofol. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups with 92 patients in each. All the patients received Ringer’s Lactate (10 ml/kg) and premedicated with fentanyl (2 mcg/kg) and midazolam (0,05 mg/kg) before induction of anesthesia. Group A was performed passive leg raising 45 degree 1 minute before injection of propofol until  the end of study and group B (control) did not receive any maneuver. Parametric data were analyzed with t-test and categorical data was done by using Chi-square test. A p value of less than 0,05 was consider significant. Demografic characteristics (age, sex, body weight and height) and  baseline haemodynamic parameters of the patients were similar in two groups (p > 0.05) except for BMI (p < 0.05) . The incidence of hypotension was significantly lower in group A (12 %, ) than group  B (27,2%) at the first minute after propofol  injection, p value = 0.016 (p < 0,05). In the third minute, incidence of hypotension was also significantly lower in group A (15,2%) than group B (23,9%), p value = 0,014 (p < 0,05). Leg elevation maneuver 45º significantly decrease incidence of hypotension after propofol induction. Keywords: Propofol, hypotension, leg elevation
