Using Data

Background: Melasma is a common, therapeutically challenging, psychological distressing, pigmentary disorder of sun exposed skin. Aim Of The Study: To study the clinical and epidemiological prole of melasma patients. Materials And Methods: Tertiary care hospital retrospective study using data of melasma patients who attended the dermatology outpatient clinic between February 2012 to May 2021. Study included 296 patients above 18 years. Demographic details were obtained from the pigment clinic proforma. Results: Mean age of 296 patients was 35.4 years, with female predominance (86.1%). Mean age at onset of melasma was 31.9 years. Aggravation with sun exposure was noted in 64.2% cases. Family history was present in 15.2% cases while hypothyroidism in 3.4% cases. Malar involvement was commonest (68.6%). Under Wood's lamp, epidermal type was commonest (57.4%). Cosmetic usage was present in 6.4% cases. Pregnancy precipitation and pregnancy aggravation was noted in 16.5% and 9% females. 7.5% females reported OC pill usage. Conclusion:This study showcases the multifaceted prole of patients aficted with melasma in a tertiary care hospital.

Triggering Factor

Background: Vitiligo is a common acquired, progressive, multifactorial, depigmenting disorder characterized by the appearance of circumscribed white macules varying patterns, varying from small macules with scalloping borders to near total depigmentation of body, supposed to be due to chronic, progressive loss of functional melanocytes in the epidermis. This study was aimed to study vitiligo in our tertiary care hospital. Material and Methods: This prospective, observational and descriptive study was conducted in OPD patients clinically diagnosed as vitiligo during study period. Results: A total of 300 patients were included in the study after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Among these 179 (59.67%) were females and 121 (40.33%) were males. The female to male ratio was 1.5:1. The age at onset was found to be in the 11-20 age group in 104 (34.5%) patients. Most common duration was noted as between 1 to 5 years, 169 (56.5%) patients. A positive family history was present in 62 (20.5 %) patients In 67 patients triggering factor was noted. Koebner’s phenomenon was noted in 62 (22.2%) patients while leucotrichia was seen in 33 (11 %) patients in our study. Most common site affected was lower limb in 204 patients (68.17%), followed by upper limb in 194 (64.67%) patients. Clinically most common morphological pattern was vitiligo vulgaris noted in 52.5% patients. Acrofacial, segmental, universal, mucosal patterns were noted in 23.83 %, 7.67 %, 5.67 %, 1 % patients respectively. Conclusion: Vitiligo has a multifactorial origin, unpredictable triggers and progress of disease. Early age of onset, family history, HLA antigen, presence of leucotrichia, other skin problems are predictors for poor prognosis.

The Mean

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most commonly performed surgical procedure of digestive tract. It has replaced open cholecystectomy as gold standard treatment for cholelithiasis and inflammation of gallbladder.  It is estimated that approximately 90% of cholecystectomies in the  United States are performed using a laparoscopic approach.  The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in context to its complications, morbidity and mortality in a tertiary care hospital.  Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on 1200 patients, who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomies, during the period from January 2019 to December 2019, at Government Medical College Jammu J & K, India and necessary data was collected and reviewed. Results: In our study, a total of 1200 patients were studied including 216 males (18%) and 984 females (82%). The mean age of the patients was 43.35±8.61. The mean operative time in our study was 55.5±10.60 minutes with range of 45 – 90 minutes. Conversion rate was 2.6%. 2 patients were re-explored. Bile duct injury was found in 6 patients (0.5%).  Conclusions: Gallstone disease is a global health problem. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now replaced open cholecystectomy as the first choice of treatment for gallstones. Gall stone diseases is most frequently encountered in female population. The risk factors for conversion to open cholecystectomy include male gender, previous abdominal surgery, acute cholecystitis, dense adhesions and fibrosis in Calot’ s triangle, anatomical variations, advanced age, comorbidity, obesity, suspicion of common bile duct stones, jaundice, and decreased surgeon experience. The incidence of surgical site infection has significantly decreased in laparoscopic cholecystectomy compared to open cholecystectomy. In our study we could not find any case of surgical site infection.
