This prospective study was conducted in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital over a period of one year among the diagnosed patients of DVT in medicine units to find out the disease association and risk factors. Mean age of the patients at the time of diagnosis was 37.8years with a standard deviation of 12.73 years with an even distribution. There was a mild female preponderance (M: F=2:3). 72.5% and 27.5% of the patients were admitted with unilateral and bilateral leg swelling respectively. No established risk factors was found about 30% of case OCP and malignancy account for highest number of association almost 22.5 % to each and other associated conditions were congestive cardiac failure (7.5%), post partum period (7.5%), renal impairment (7.5%) and prolonged immobilization (2.5%) . 92.5% patients enjoyed resolution while 7.5 patients died. Among three patients who died, two were male and one was female. However, thrombotic scan was not available and can not be offered to any patients. Almost all the findings of this study correlate well with other previous studies except age distribution for which further evaluation may be necessary.   DOI = 10.3329/jom.v8i1.1372  J MEDICINE 2007; 8 : 7-9

Emergency obstetric hysterectomy is removal of part or whole of the uterus done to save the life of a mother in complications in the intra partum or post-partum period. This study was done to assess the cases of emergency obstetric hysterectomy (EOH) in view to find out the indications, the patient profile, the risk factors, the morbidity and mortality associated with the procedure. It was a retrospective analysis of 40 cases of obstetric hysterectomy performed in Faridpur Medical College Hospital (FMCH) during the period of August 2012 to July 2014. Patients were evaluated from history and clinical observation records regarding maternal age, parity, indication of operation, associated risk factors, surgical procedure and complications during hospital stay. In maximum patient with EOH the overall incidence is in the age group of 25-29 years (42.5%) and parity of 2nd-3rd. The most common complication was ruptured uterus 50% and PPH 12.5%. Among the risk factors the most common was previous caesarean section (55%) then grand multipara (15%). Out of 40 cases 40% needed total hysterectomy and 60% was managed by subtotal hysterectomy. In most cases complications were hemorrhage and 100% patient needed blood transfusion among which 50% in the post-operative period. All the patients were discharged after treatment with no history of maternal death or referral to higher centers. Emergency obstetric hysterectomy is a lifesaving procedure when decision is taken at proper time, done rapidly by expert surgeon along with availability of blood and safe anesthesia. Thus it can play a vital role to reduce and prevent maternal death.Faridpur Med. Coll. J. Jan 2016;11(1): 2-5

Background: Post partum haemorrhage (PPH) is one of the most common causes ofmaternal mortality worldwide. Primary PPH (which occurs within 24 hours of delivery) hasbeen studied a lot. But data regarding secondary PPH (which occurs 24 hours after deliveryupto to 6 weeks post partum) is sparse. Our aim was to find out the risk factors and maternaloutcome of secondary PPH. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional analytic study of 32 cases admitted with secondaryPPH in Gynae and Obstetric department of Rangpur Medical College Hospital during 1 yearstudy period was carried out. Result: Frequency of secondary PPH was 0.58%. Mean age of the patient was 25.23±2.79years; 22(69%) patients were multi para; 17 (53%) patients had education up to primarylevel. Maximum patients [18 (56%)] were from low socio economic status. Mean time ofpresentation was 13.5±2.78 days after delivery; 14(44%) patients delivered vaginally and18(56%) patients delivered by caesarean section. Most of the vaginal delivery 9 (28%) wereconducted by untrained dai or other family member. Among 32 patients, 31 were referredfrom outside the Hospital. Retained bits of placenta was the leading cause (15,47%) andcaesarean wound dehiscence was the second cause (13,41%); 13 (40%) patients had feveron presentation. All were anemic with mean hemoglobin concentration 7.4±1.4gm and 24(75%) of them required blood transfusion. Four patients was in shock. Antibiotic was givento all patients. DE&C was done in 15(47%) cases and laparotomy followed by total abdominalhysterectomy was done in 12 cases and repair in 1 case. Among 15 patients who underwentsurgical evacuation there was histological evidence of placental tissue in only 6(40%) patients. Conclusion: In present study retained bits of placenta and caesarean wound dehiscenceare found as main cause of secondary postpartum hemorrhage So care should be takenduring active management of third stage of labour (AMTSL). Choosing appropriate suturematerial, maintaining personal hygine of patient and sterility of operation theate, usingappropriate antibiotic to combat microbials and last but not list improving skillness of surgeonare the key to reduce the rate of secondary PPH.

Background: Coronary artery diseases are one of the major challenges faced by cardiologists. Control of certain risk factors for CAD is associated with decrease in mortality and morbidity from myocardial infarction and unstable angina. So, identification and taking appropriate measures for primary and secondary prevention of such risk factors is, therefore, of great importance. This retrospective study was carried at the newly set up cath lab in Dhaka Medical college. Materials and Methods: Total 228 consecutive case undergone diagnostic coronary angiogram from 10th January 2007 to31st January 2009 out of which 194(80%) were male and 34 (20%) were female. In both sexes most of the patients were between 41 to 60 years of age. Risk factors of the patients were evaluated. Results: In females commonest risk factor was Diabetes (58.8%) followed by dyslipidaemia (35.3%). In males commonest risk factor was hypertension (30.9%) followed by smoking (29.9%) and diabetes (28.3%). In males 44.3% patients presented with acute myocardial infarction followed by stable angina (43.3%); but in females stable angina was the commonest presentation (50.0%) followed by myocardial infarction (38.2%).CAG findings revealed that in males 33.5% had double vessel disease 26.8% followed by single vessel 26.8% and multivessel disease 25.3%. In females normal CAG was found in 35.5% followed by double vessel 23.5%, multivessel 20.6% and single vessel 20.6%. On the basis of CAG findings; in males 41.8% patients were recommended for CABG, followed by PTCA & stenting 26.3% and medical therapy 30.0%; where as in females 55.9% were recommended for medical therapy , followed by CABG 32.4% and PTCA & stenting11.8%. Conclusion: The commonest presentation of CAD was 4th and 5th decades in both sexes. Diabetes and dyslipidaemia were more common in females whereas hypertension and smoking were more common in males. Myocardial infarction and stable angina were most common presentation in both sexes though in males myocardial infarction was more common. In males the angiographic severity of CAD was more and they were more subjected for CABG in comparison to females. Key words: Risk factors; Coronary angiography.

Liver cirrhotic patients were investigated for their lifestyle, energy intake, BMI, biochemical and serological indices and prevalent clinical signs. The study included 50 liver cirrhotic patients who were hospitalized in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka Medical College Hospital and BIRDEM Hospital during the period of 1999-2000. Of the fifty cirrhotic patients, hepatitis B virus infection was found responsible for 52% (n=26) of liver cirrhosis, hepatitis C was for only 6% (n=3) patients and etiology for the rest 42% (n=21) patients could not be identified. It was observed that literate, low-mid income and productive male were being suffering from the liver cirrhosis. The patients had good housing status. Low energy intake (1670.6±42.9) and low BMI (19.52±3.48) were present in almost all of the patients. Mean serum haemoglobin, total proteins, and albumin were 96.2±20.5g/L, 63.1±1.01g/L, and 31.30±0.93g/L respectively. Serum bilirubin was raised in 50% patients. Serum SGPT and SGOT levels were increased from 2 to 4 folds in 50% of the patients; alkaline phosphatase was increased only in 8% cirrhotic patients. Anaemia, PEM, ascities, oedema, muscle wasting were prevalently present in vast majority of the patients.

Background and study aim: Torticollis is the postural deformity of head and neck. Congenital Muscular Torticollis (CMT) is a postural deformity of head and neck detected at birth or shortly after birth, primarily resulting from unilateral shortening of Sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), In neonates and infants, patient may cure conservatively by physiotherapy but surgery is the treatment of choice for children and adolescents. Here we show our experience regarding management of congenital muscular torticollis with physiotherapy. Patients and Methods: This is an observational descriptive study. Verbal consent from parents was taken. Patients of congenital muscular torticollis with other disease or other congenital anomaly were excluded from study. Twenty patients of congenital muscular torticollis were treated. The cases were enrolled between Nov' 2005 to Oct' 2008 in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Gonosasthaya Somaj Vittik Medical College Hospital, ZH Sikder Women's Medical College Hospital, Shaheed Shurawardy Medical College Hospital. Neonates and infants were treated conservatively with physiotherapy and non responsive cases were referred for surgery. Results: Patients age range from 5 days to 1 year of which eleven were females and nine were males. Sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) was shortened in all cases (12 on right side and 8 on left side). Of 20 patients 6 neonates, rest 14 infants within 1 year age. Out of 20 neonates and infants 17 were cured conservatively with physiotherapy and rest 3 were referred for surgery. Conclusion: Most of the patient of congenital muscular torticollis can be treated conservatively during infancy.

Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is a distinctive type of cutaneous drug reaction that characteristically recurs in the same site or sites each time a particular drug is taken. FDEs are among the most frequent problems encountered by the dermatologists. The present study was carried out to recognize offending drugs, to educate the patients and to avoid self-administration of drugs and re-administration of the offending drugs. The study was conducted in Skin & VD outpatient department of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi over a period of one year. One hundred ten cases with established FDE were evaluated clinically. The causative drugs were identified and confirmed by provocation tests. Cotrimoxazole (25%) was the most common cause of FDE. Other drugs incriminated were NSAID (21.8%), Tetracycline (15.4%), Ciprofloxacin (10%), Amoxicillin (7.2%), Metronidazole (5.4%), Griseofulvin (2.7%) and Fluconazole (1.8%). The lesions were found to be distributed on the oro-genital mucosa, trunk and the acral regions.The main presentation of FDE was circularhyperpigmented lesion.TAJ 2014; 27(1): 29-33

Objective: A prospective, observational study in Dhaka Medical College Hospital was carried out to assess the efficacy of loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) of the transformation zone of cervix as an outpatient procedure as diagnostic and therapeutic purpose during visit of patients with the report of CIN II or CIN III on histopathology.Method: One hundred women over a period of one year from 1st January to 31st December 2011 were treated with LEEP as an outpatient procedure. Among these women 63 patients were CIN II and 37 patients were CIN III on histopathology report. LEEP were done under local anaesthesia. All patients were followed up for one year with colposcopy and also histology where appropriate.Results: In all cases, the specimens obtained were adequate for histopathological assessment and in 98 (98%) cases the lesion had been completely excised. Two cases of CIN III required a second excision. One patient needed cervical sutures to achieve haemostasis following the excision. One patient was admitted in the hospital with primary haemorrhage. Two patients were admitted with secondary haemorrhage.Conclusion: LEEP under local anaesthesia is an effective technique. It enables the treatment of patients with cervical intraepithelial neaplasia and exclusion of invasive cancer in a subsequent visit. Thus adequate tissue is made available for accurate diagnosis, thereby improving the accuracy of treatment.Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2012; Vol. 27(1) : 5-8

Aim: To study the incidence of HbA1c elevation in patients with ischemic stroke whose blood glucose levels were normal within the last six months. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Place and Duration: This cross-sectional study of the 96 patients with cerebral ischemic disease selected from the internal medicine department of Bilawal medical college Hospital Kotri, Sindh, Pakistan for one-year duration from August 2019 to August 2020. Methods: Crossectional study was conducted in the internal medicinal department of Bilawal Medical college Hospital, Kotri Sindh, Pakistan for the period of one year from August 2019 to August 2020. Total 96 study subjects were selected with cerebral ischemic disease, 62 were males and 34 were females. Many factors such as age more than 20 years, ischemic stroke and RBG (Random Blood Glucose) were also evaluated from each participant. SPSS 23.00 version was used for statistical analysis of research data. Results: 57.01 ± 13.4 years was the mean age of the patients. 62 (64.6%) patients were male and 34 (35.4%) were female. The male to female ratio was 2:1. HbA1c was elevated in 35 (36.5%) of 96 patients, while 61 (63.5%) had normal HbA1c.  The distribution of HbA1c elevation by gender showed that 20 (57.1%) patients with elevated HbA1c were men and 15 (42.9%) were women. Forty-three (70.5%) of 61 patients with normal HbA1c were male and 18 (29.5%) were female. Conclusion: it was concluded that glycated haemoglobin plays an important role for reducing the macro complication of Diabetes and the major macro complication observed was cerebral ischemic stroke among the people with elevated HbA1c.
