Vesicovaginal Fistulas

This cross sectional study was carried out on hundred patients of vesicovaginal fistula who were admitted and underwent surgical treatment in Dhaka Medical college Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka, during the period of January, 2001 to June, 2003. The aim of this study was to obtain the outcome of the different methods of repair of different types of vesicovaginal fistula. An in-depth interview was taken from patients by using an open ended questionnaire. Necessary information about the procedure applied, together with results of operation were recorded in the data sheet. The result of this study showed that the anatomical success in closure of fistula occurred in 94% cases. In 38% of cases the size of the fistula were small in size, in 49% cases location were at the Junction of bladder neck, 78% of cases experienced no postoperative complications. Route of operation were vaginal in 84% cases. Previous attempt of repair were in 62% cases whereas in 38% women had history of operation. Obstetric vesicovaginal fistula is a curable condition. The success rate has been increased over time. More complicated cases which have been failed in previous attempts of repair are being referred. Most of the unsuccessful repair were bad cases (2%). So more training and experience of surgeons for repair of fistulas, employing modified technique wherever applicable can improve the result.

This cross-sectional study was carried out in the gynae department of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital during the year January 2005 to December 2011, where 202 patients were studied for obstetric history, previous attempt at repair, the condition of the patient, the route of repair, age, etiological factors, techniques of surgery, socio-economic conditions, as well as treatment & results. Among 202 cases, surgery was done in 136 cases (67.33%). Among them 126 were successful (92.65%) and 10 failed (9.35%). Obstetric fistula results from obstructed labour occur mostly in the first pregnancy in young women. Prevention will include education, communication, transport, health care measures and prevention of early marriage. Awareness for mandatory hospital delivery in high risk pregnancies also can reduce obstetric fistulas. With good pre-operative intra-operative and post operative care and attention to surgical details may cure these affected woman.TAJ 2011; 24(2): 91-94

Background: CT-scan is useful for the detection of hepatic mass. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to see the predictive values of CT scan in the diagnosis of malignant hepatic mass. Methodology: This cross sectional study was carried out in the Department of Radiology and Imaging at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH), Mymensingh, Banghabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka and Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka during the period of 1st January 2006 to 31st December 2007. Patients admitted in the Department of Medicine and Department of Hepatobiliary of MMCH, BSMMU, and DMCH with the clinical diagnosis of fever, abdominal pain, anorexia, nausea/vomiting, loss of appetite, jaundice, weight loss and ascites were selected as study population. CT scan and histopathology were performed to all the patients. Result: A total number of 50 patients were recruited for this study.. The sensitivity for multiplicity was 71.4%, specificity was 63.6%, accuracy was 68%, PPV was 71.4% and NPV was 63.6%. The sensitivity for hypodensity as a sign of malignancy was 60.7%, specificity was 18.2%, accuracy was 42.0%, PPV was 48.6% and NPV was 26.7%. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of contrast enhancement were 100.0%, 22.7%, 62.2%, 100.0% and 66.0% respectively. Again the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of detection of pressure effect on biliary apparatus by CT-scan were 100.0%, 22.7%, 62.2%, 100.0% and 66.0% respectively. Again the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of detection of Lymphadenopathy by CT-scan were 35.7%, 95.5%, 90.9%, 53.8% and 62.0% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of detection of Portal vein invasion by CT-scan were 14.3%, 100.0%, 100.0%, 47.8% and 52.0% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of detection of hepatic vein invasion by CT-scan were 10.7%, 100.0%, 100.0%, 46.8% and 50.0% respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of detection of inferior vena cava (IVC) invasion by CT-scan were 7.1%, 100.0%, 100.0%, 45.8% and 48.0% respectively. Conclusion: CT is a useful diagnostic tool for the detection of malignant hepatic masses.Journal of Science Foundation, 2014;12(1):2-6

Many (72.41%) pregnant women considered USG use to detect fetal anomalies while 27.93% considered for sex detection. Majority (93.1%) done USG in this pregnancy, of that more (43.45 %) in second trimester and mainly advised by doctors (91.03%). Nearly half of them (50.69%) considered its expensive procedure, 69.31% spent 200/- to 500/- rupees per USG, in spite 94.83% of them would recommend other pregnant women to undergo USG in pregnancy. 50.69%% of them opined it should be done twice in pregnancy.

The burden of scabies is highest in tropical countries, but recent data from Bangladesh is scanty. This cross sectional study was carried out to find the prevalence of scabies in skin & VD Out Patient Department (OPD) of Faridpur Medical College Hospital (FMCH) during the period of April 2013 to March 2014. Total 22,399 patients attended to the skin & VD OPD, were included in this study. We identified 15,455 patents with scabies. The total prevalence was 69%. Prevalence in January was highest & was 78%. Most cases were uncomplicated but 17.28% of complicated scabies patients were found. Scabies was more in poor socio-economic group than others. The present study showed a high prevalence of scabies in patients presenting to skin & VD OPD, FMCH. Prevalence was higher overall in children. Our data show that scabies is common in patients presenting to skin & VD OPD & this finding may be used as an indicator of the general population.Faridpur Med. Coll. J. Jan 2015;10(1): 17-19

Organophosphorus compounds (OPC) poisoning is a major public health problem in low and middle income countries. The incidence varies from country to country depending on easy availability of poison, socio-economic condition and educational background of the people. This study aimed to determine the frequency, outcome and aetiological aspect of OPC poisoning patient admitted in Rangpur medical college hospital. It was a cross sectional study carried out in the department of Medicine, Rangpur medical college hospital from 1st December 2011 to 30th November, 2012. During the study period a total of 703 patients have been studied. The most of the patients were between the age of 18- 40 years (91.9%), male (51.6%), married (71.3%) and from rural areas (67.8%). People of different occupations were involved in OPC poisoning, house-wives were the maximum (33.6%) followed by farmers (31.7%). 92% cases were suicidal and 8% accidental. Familial disharmony was the prime cause (92.3%) of suicidal motive. 88% of the patients were survived and 5% died. OPC poisoning is an important health care problem in our country. Improved awareness, restricting availability and banning more toxic organophosphorus compounds will reduce the incidence of OPC poisoning.
