This prospective type of experimental study was carried out to determine the improvement of symptoms by ultrasound therapy in management of de'Quervain's disease. It was done in the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation in Dhaka medical college hospital during the period of 30th January 2008 to 30th July 2008.The diagnosis of de'Quervain's disease confirmed by history and clinical examination(Finkelstein test). 50 patients were selected and randomly divided into two groups. Group-A patients were treated with thumb splint,NSAIDS and ADL. Group-B patients were treated with thumb splint, NSAIDS, ADL and ultrasound therapy. Each patients was assessed by pain score, visual analogue scale(VAS), grading of tenderness and swelling. Mean age was 41.02 years. Female and male ratio was 7.5:1. Most patients occupation was housewife 40(80%) and had a precipitating factor as wringing of cloths 31(62%). History of recurrence was found in 7(14%). Most of the patients developed pain gradually 72%(36). Post treatment VAS score improved significantly in group B(p<0.05), in groupB 96%(24) and in group A 52%(13) patients had VAS score 0 to 4. Post treatment significantly (p<0.01) higher number of patients were in swelling score. So in group B(84%) compared to group A (44%), After treatment pain score showed significant improvement (p<0.01) in group B patients (72%) compared to group A(24%). In group A, 16%(4) and in group B 32%(8) patient were completely cured(No pain,no tenderness and no swelling).

Background: This study compares the efficacy of vacuum therapy against conventional iodine povidone dressing with respect to area and time of ulcer.Methods: This study is a randomized controlled trail which was conducted in Meenakshi Medical College hospital and research institute Enathur Kanchipuram. The number of patients selected were 50, which were divided into 2 groups, Group A which consisted of 25 and received vacuum therapy, Group B which consisted of 25 and received povidone-iodine solution.Results: This study was a 16 days study, mean area of ulcer on day 0 was 11.25 cm2 in group B, 10.89 cm2 in group A. On day 6, mean area of ulcer was 10.44 cm2 in group B, 8.98 cm2 in group A. Mean area of ulcer was 10.39 cm2 in group B, 7.66 cm2 in group A on the end of the day 16. The results show that both the groups showed decrease in the area of ulcers, but patients in group A who underwent vacuum therapy have shown greater decrease in the mean area of ulcer. The decrease in surface area of ulcer was statistically significant i.e. p=0.025. There was a greater decrease in infection in group A on 16th day compared to group A on 16th day. On day 0, 48% and 60% growth of microorganisms was observed in patients of group B and group A respectively (p=0.428). On day 16, 28% and 8% growth of microorganisms was observed in patients of group B and group A respectively (p=0.034).Conclusions: Vacuum therapy was more effective compared to conventional method of povidone-iodone solution dressing in rate of healing and time of healing.

Introduction: After SMR/septoplasty with or without turbinate surgery, it needs to keep apart the septum and turbinates upto their complete healing otherwise there is a chance of adhesion (synechia) formation. To prevent this there are variousprocedures. To place an intranasal splint in one or both sides of the septum is one of them. Nowadays there raised thequestion of whether the splinting is necessary or not. There is no significant difference in result with or without anintranasal splint. Weighing against the co-morbidities the routine use of an intranasal splint can no longer be justified. Materials and Methods: This is a randomized control study of 200 patients of SMR/septoplasty, done for nasal septaldeviation causing symptoms in Cumilla Medical College Hospital in the period of January 2016 to December 2019. Theywere equally divided into two groups, group-A were operated placing an intranasal splint and group-B with no intranasalsplint. They were followed up for 6 weeks to detect any synechia and co-morbidities. Result: The age of our patients wasranged from 13-49 years with a mean age of 22.45 years. The male to female ratio is 1.78:1. Synechia was found in 4% ofthe splinted group and 6 of the nonsplinted groups. Co-morbidities were detected more in the splinted group than that ofnon-splinted. In INS group these were found as follows: pain in the nose, face and head (26%), faint during removal ofnasal splint (6%), nasal obstruction (38%), the anxiety of splint removal in the postoperative period (35%) and vestibulitisdue to persistent irritation by a splint (17%). Conclusion: There is little significant advantage of using intranasal splintroutinely in septal surgery to prevent synechia formation. Medicine Today 2020 Vol.32(2): 126-129

Objective: To compare the clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) with continuous indwelling catheterization (CIDC) in relieving acute urinary retention (AUR) due to benign enlargement of prostate (BEP). Materials and Methods :A total 60 patients attending in urology department of Dhaka Medical college hospital were included according to inclusion criteria ,Patients were randomized by lottery into two groups namely group –A and group –B for CISC and IDC drainage respectively . Thus total 60 patients 30 in each group completed study. Results : Most men can safely be managed as out-patients after AUR due to BPH. The degree of mucosal congestion and inflammation within the bladder was found to be lower in those using CISC and the bladder capacity in these patients was also found higher.Patients with an IDC had a high incidence of UTIs then that of patients with CISC. During the period of catheterization the incidence of UTI was 43.3% in group B in comparison to 40% in group A; before TURP 36% in group B in comparison to 10% incidence in group A.According to patient’s opinion CISC is better than IDC in the management of AUR. Experiencing bladder spasm, reporting blood in urine, management difficulties, incidence and severity of pain were less in CISC group, and the method of CISC was well accepted by patients as well as their family members. Conclusion: From the current study it may be suggested that CISC is better technique for management of AUR patient due to BPH than IDC. It can also be very helpful when surgery must be delayed or avoided due to any reasons in this group of patients. Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 21, No. 2, July 2018 p.105-110

Objective: To compare the frequency of port site wound infection following gall bladder removal through umbilical and epigastric port in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial. Setting: Surgical Unit 2, Ghulam Muhammad Mahar Medical College, hospital Sukkur. Period: 1st November 2019 to 30th October 2020. Material & Methods: All cases who underwent four port laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled in two groups. All procedures were performed under general anesthesia. As the last event of surgery gall bladder was retrieved in a glove bag through umbilical port in group A and through epigastric port in group B, both under direct camera vision. Wound infection was considered if there was 3 to 5 grade of wound according to Southampton wound grading system (Figure-1) on 5th postoperative day. All demographics and outcome variables were recorded. Results: Age ranged from 20 to 60 years with mean age of 38.875±8.11 years, BMI 29.973±5.12 Kg/m2, duration of surgery 50.656±8.41 mins and Southampton score was 1.044±1.07 in Group A and mean age of 38.560±6.23 years, BMI 27.437±5.04 Kg/m2, duration of surgery 48.920±8.67 mins and Southampton score was 0.856±0.92 in Group B. In group A, 18 (5.7%)patients developed port site wound infection in contrast to 5 (1.6%) patients in group B (P= 0.006). Conclusion: We conclude that epigastric port retrieval of gall bladder following laparoscopic cholecystectomy results in less port site infection.

Background: Intrauterine fetal death is means- intrapartum death after the fetus has reached the age of viability8. As in IUFD journey, labor pain will be fruitless. So, it is of utmost importance to search for the method which can reduce hours of pain in labor of IUFD cases.Metarials Methods: In this research work patients divided in two groups. Induction of labour in one group was given by combination of mifepristone and misoprostol other group by misoprostol only and we try to find out the best method. To compare the effectiveness, induction to delivery interval, safety and side effects of combination of mifepristone and misoprostol versus conventional use of misoprostol alone in induction of labour in patients with intrauterine fetal death. It is a Prospective randomized comparative study in Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Hospital and Dhaka Medical College Hospital among 70 patients with IUFD after 28 weeks of gestation during January 2014- January 2016.Result: We allowed the patients up to third gravid and after 28 weeks of gestation. Patients were grouped as Group A(35) & Group B (35). In Group A Induction was given by single oral dose of 200 mg mifepristone, and after 48 hours, tab. Misoprostol in post. fornix started if <34 weeks-100 ?gm dose and >34 weeks-50 ?gm dose. Doses were repeated every 6 hourly intervals if required. In Group B Induction was given by 100 ?gm misoprostol at 6 hourly interval in post. Fornix. In both groups we allowed misoprostol maximum 600 ?gm. Oxytocin was given for augmentation if needed. The two study groups did not differ demographically. Induction to delivery time was shorter with combined regimen group (P<0.001). Induction to delivery interval ranges from 10-12 hours in mifepristone plus misoprostole group.In only misoprostol group it was about 24-26 hours. Doses of misoprostol was lower in combined group (P<0.001). 4 patients need Oxytocin for augmentation in only misoprostol group. In combined group oxytocin was not needed. The two groups did not differ as regards complications experienced during labour and delivery significantly. In overall out come 2 failed induction in misoprostol only group but not in combinedgroup.Conclusion: In Induction of IUFD mifepriston plus misoprostol is an effective combined group. It is safe, non invasive, easily tolerable, highly cost effective, had less induction to delivery interval, required less dose of misoprostol and no need of augmentation with oxytocin. So,the combined group is more effective than conventional regimen of misoprostol alone.Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Journal Vol. 8, No. 1: Jan 2017, P 50-54

Introduction: Heart valves serve the important function of preventing backflow, or regurgitation, in the healthy heart. It is well known that cardiac valves can suffer from congenital and acquired disease. Most frequent acquired valvular abnormalities are stenoses of the aortic and mitral valves, which account for approximately 2/3rd of all valve disease. For the management of valvular disease morphology of right atrioventricular valve is essential. Materials and Methods: Study design was descriptive type of study. Place and period of study was Department of Anatomy, Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College, Sylhet from July 2015 to June 2016. Results: Present study was performed on 70 post mortem human hearts of age ranging from 9 to 70 years. Human heart was collected from the unclaimed dead bodies autopsied in the department of Forensic medicine in Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College during the study period fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Conclusion: The collected samples were divided into 3 groups depending on age. Group – A: (9 - 21 Years), Group - B: (22 - 41 Years), Group - C: ( 42 -70) Years. Each group was subdivided into two groups depending on their sex. Medicine Today 2020 Vol.32(1): 42-44

Background :  Otitis Media with Effusion(OME) also known as  Secretory Otitis Media, has been identified as the commonest middle ear condition causing deafness in children in developed countries. Neither the indication for surgical treatment nor the types and number of procedures used are uniform. Possible treatment includes myringotomy with or without insertion of ventilation tube either alone or with adenoidectomy and occasionally tonsillectomy. Aims and Objectives :  To assess the prevalence and the different modes of presentation of Otitis Media with Effusion among the rural school children of Puducherry and to assess the improvement in hearing after 6 months of surgical intervention done on patients with Otitis Media with Effusion. Materials and Methods:  A school screening camp was conducted on 600 children in the age group of 5-12 years in a government middle school near our medical college hospital for identifying children with Otitis Media with Effusion. Students with Otitis Media with Effusion were further classified into 4 groups for various interventional procedures namely adenotonsillectomy with bilateral grommet insertion (Group A), adenoidectomy with bilateral grommet insertion (Group B), bilateral grommet insertion (Group C),  bilateral myringotomy with wide field incision in the antero-inferior quadrant (Group D). Result : The prevalence was almost in equal proportions in the age group between 5-12 years and the overall prevalence of Otitis Media with Effusion among the study population was 13.3%. The adenotonsillectomy with bilateral grommet insertion procedure had shown a significant improvement in hearing, which was measured by using pure tone audiometry by assessing the mean air-bone gap, which was 9.81, 8.27 and 6.73 at the end of 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months respectively, when compared to the other procedures.   Conclusion : Adenotonsillectomy with bilateral grommet insertion should be considered in a child with Otitis Media with Effusion who is at risk for speech/language/hearing loss.
