Perforation Peritonitis

Objective:To study the epidemiological prole of perforation peritonitis in a tertiary care hospital in western Uttar Pradesh. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The study was conducted on 127 patients of hollow viscus perforation resulting in peritonitis. Patients admitted were examined during pre-operative period and followed during intra-operative and post-operative period. All the required data were collected like demographic, clinical and radiological examinations at pre and post-operative period. Results: About one third of patients were between 15-30 years (31.5%) and majority of patients were males (80.3%). Ileal anatomical site of perforation was most common (43.3%). Distension was most common symptom (95.3%). REPAIR+ PROX LOOP (32.7%) and PERF AS LOOP (30.9%) surgical procedure was performed among about one third of patients for ileal perforation. Fever, seroma and infection post-operative complication was among all patients whom number of ileal perforation was >3. The mortality was higher among whom number of ileal perforation was >3 (40%) than 2-3 (25%) and 0-1 (4.8%). The duration of hospital stay was insignicantly (p>0.05) higher among whom number of ileal perforation was >3 (14.26±4.13 days) than 2-3 (13.60±3.14 days) and 0-1 (11.86±2.36 days). Conclusion: Early diagnosis, resuscitation with uids, antibiotic, and timely surgical intervention are the most important factors deciding the fate of the patient with perforation peritonitis.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:  </strong>A wide spectrum of lesions may present as nasomaxillary swellings ranges from benign to malignant lesions including fungal sinusitis and fibro vascular lesions example: JNA (Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma) and Inverted papilloma. Many Pathologies ranging from benign to malignant tumors may mimic a simple Nasomaxillary mass. It is diagnostic challenge to determine pathology behind it. A detailed clinical evaluation with nasal endoscopy and relevant pre-operative investigations including radiological imaging and histopathological examination is essential to reach up to final diagnosis. The aim of the study was to do clinicopathological evaluation of patients presenting with nasomaxillary swelling and correlation of clinical, radiological and Histopathological findings.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods: </strong>This was a prospective observational study on 50 nasomaxillary swelling patients who are presented in the Department of ENT and Head and Neck Surgery of N.S.C.B. MCH Jabalpur, a tertiary care Hospital, between March 2018 to August 2019. A detailed history taking and clinical examination with nasal endoscopy and relevant preoperative investigations including CECT Nose and PNS and histopathological examination was done in all patients.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results: </strong>50 Nasomaxillary swelling patients were selected for this study. 30 patients were male and 20 were females. Ages of patients were varied from 12 years to 72 years. 23 patients (46%) were malignant and 27 (54%) were benign. Histopathological examination results shows benign lesions like JNA (6 cases), fungal sinusitis (6 cases), dermoid cyst (1 case), inverted papilloma (3 cases), sebaceous cyst (1 case), jaw lesions (10 cases), (odontogenic like radicular/ infected cyst, dentigerous cyst, cystic ameloblastoma and non-odontogenic like fibrous dysplasia) and malignant lesions like SCC (squamous cell carcinoma) (12 cases), spindle cell sarcoma (2 cases), undifferentiated carcinoma (3 cases), adenocarcinoma (3 cases), adenoid cystic carcinoma (1 case), Invasive pleomorphic sarcoma (1 case) and malignant melanoma (1 case). SCC was most common lesion f/b JNA and fungal sinusitis. Well differentiated SCC was most common histological type (10 out of 12 cases of SCC). Most common symptom was nasal obstruction (66% cases) f/b epistaxis (52% cases) but epitasis was most common symptom among malignant and JNA cases. In 6 cases (3 JNA, 1 inverted papilloma, 1 malignancy and 1 radicular cyst) radiological diagnosis were not correlated with histological findings.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Most our cases were malignant nasomaxillary lesions followed by fungal sinusitis and JNA. Most patients presented in advanced stage of disease so rapidly evaluation including nasal endoscopy should be done. CECT scan is essential to determine tumors extent and bony lesions. All patients should undergo hisotopatholigical examination. The final diagnosis should be made on the basis of clinical, radiological and histopathological findings.</p>

Background: Every medical student in India have to undergo a compulsory rotatory internship for completion of their course where they encounter various medical emergencies and apply their medical knowledge. An early encounter to a basic life support course and training will increase the efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation and thus the outcome of the patient. This study was designed to test knowledge of MBBS students in a tertiary care hospital.Methods: This observational study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Uttar Pradesh and used a preformed validated questionnaire to test awareness and knowledge of basic life support and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a sample of 500 MBBS students. Descriptive analysis was performed on the questionnaire responses. All data obtained from the questionnaire was evaluated and statistically analysed using software IBM SPSS Statistics software version 24 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) for MS windows.Results: With a response rate of 47% among 500 MBBS students, the mean score obtained was 2.34±1.066 out of a maximum score of five. A maximum score of 2.804±1.055 obtained by 5th-year students. Surprisingly, first-year students achieved an average score of 2.66±0.97, which was higher than that of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year students. 87% of students were like-minded to participate in the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) awareness program. Only 45% of students correctly answered the order of CPR as C-A-B (chest compression-airway-breathing).Conclusions: The study showed that though the awareness and importance of basic life support (BLS) are high among the medical students, the accurate knowledge required in performing BLS is inadequate. This study also showed that the National medical commission has taken a positive step in the incorporation of BLS in the curriculum.

Maternal Mortality And Morbidity

BACKGROUND: Maternal health is an important aspect for the development of any country in terms of increasing equity and reducing poverty. For reduction of maternal mortality and morbidity Government of India launched National health mission (NHM). Some of the major initiatives under NHM are– ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist), JSY/JSSK (Janani Suraksha Yojana / Janani Shishu Suraksha Karyakaram), National mobile medical units, National ambulance services. METHODS: A retrospective observational study was performed in department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, G.S.V.M Medical College, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh which is a low performing state, during the period of 2018 to 2019. A total of 5134 obstetric patients including 1032 low general condition patients were included over duration of 20 months since January 2018 to august 2019. This observational study collected information regarding number of deliveries in different years in this tertiary care hospital, effect on availability of health facilities and antenatal care to the antenatal women after introduction of JSY, ASHA and ambulance services. CONCLUSIONS: After JSY there is major difference in OPD admission and institutional delivery rate. Ambulance services had major contributory role in reducing maternal mortality and morbidity. There is need to improve performance of ASHA by proper supervision and monitoring.

Background: Nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) is considered gold standard in the molecular diagnosis of CoV-2 infection but since it is costly, labor intensive and needs technical expertise, rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of specific antigens to SARS CoV-2 have been devised. Objectives of this study was to compare the results of Antigen test and NAAT for CoV-2 infection carried out during the months of July and August 2020 by single tertiary care hospital in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh and to determine the utility of rapid antigen test in the SARS CoV-2 diagnosis.Methods: All the patients who came to our hospital seeking admission during July 2020 and August 2020 were included in the study. A total of 1000 patients were included in this study.Results: Out of a total 1000 cases which were included in the study, 769 cases (76.9%) were found to be SARS CoV-2 negative by both antigen and CBNAAT, 100 cases (10.0%) were SARS CoV-2 positive by both antigen and CBNAAT tests. But in 131 cases (13.1%), antigen was not able to pick up the disease. It was also found that the Cycle Threshold (Ct) value for the discordant group was higher (Mean E= 28, Mean N2=33) when compared to the group where antigen was positive.Conclusions: The present study establishes the role of rapid antigen tests in contributing to the quick, point of care diagnosis of SARS CoV-2. These assays are safe, simple, and fast and can be used in local clinics and hospitals. These tests are very important for real-time patient management and infection control decision.

Background: The wide spectrum of bone tumors, their rarity, diverse origin and tendency to produce overlapping anatomic patterns pose a definite diagnostic challenge to the orthopedic surgeons and the pathologists.Objective: The present study was intended to find the pattern of bone tumors and their anatomical locations, and histopathological characteristics in a tertiary care hospital of Dhaka.Methodology: A retrospective review of the histopathological records of patients with established diagnosis of bone tumors at National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedic Rehabilitation (NITOR), Dhaka, Bangladesh was done from January 2015 to December 2016 for a period of two (02) years. The demographic data such as the age and sex, anatomical location and histopathological findings were studied from the existing records of the patients and their slides were reexamined. Bone lesions of inflammatory origin were excluded from this study leaving the lesions of both neoplastic and tumor-like origin for further study.Result: A total 283 cases of bone lesions were primarily included in the study. Bone lesions of inflammatory origin (n = 65) were excluded from this study leaving 218 lesions of both neoplastic and tumor-like origin for further study. The median age of the patients was 22 (range: 3 – 75) years. In terms of anatomical site of the tumors, over one-third (36.6%) was located in femur 21.1% in tibia, 12.2% in humerus, 6.1% in radius and 5.6% in ulna. In terms of types of bone tumor, 105(48.2%) were benign, 66(30.3%) malignant, 47(21.5%) tumor-like lesions. About 65% of the benign tumors were of Giant cell tumor, 28.5% were osteochondroma, 1% osteoma and 5.7% were of other types. Of the malignant tumors, one-third (33.3%) was of metastatic type, 27.3% Ewing’s sarcoma, 22.7% osteosarcoma, 9.1% chondrosarcoma and 4.6% were of other varieties.Conclusion: Primary bone tumors are mainly benign; however, giant cell and metastatic tumors are the most common benign and malignant bone tumors respectively.Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research 2018;5(1):23-28

ABSTRACT Blindness is one of the significant social problems in India with 7 million of the total 45 million blind people in the world residing in our country. Major barriers to cataract surgery are poverty, no transportation, need not felt, and sex related. The low literacy rate among females and poor accessibility of the surgical sites were identified as important barriers in rural areas. There was also association found between socioeconomic status and cataract among cataract patients. In this study, a total of 208 participants who attended the ophthalmology outpatient department were studied for the observation on perception of cataract patient regarding cataract surgery. Data were analyzed and results were compared with other global studies. How to cite this article Kumar P, Joshi HS, Katyal R, Ranjan P.

Background: Globally the incidence of dengue has increased in the past three decades. It is predominantly found in the urban and semi-urban area however now it is spreading in rural areas also. In India the incidence of dengue has increased due to rapid urbanization, lifestyle changes and improper water storage practices. Hence this study was planned to study the clinical and laboratory profile of dengue patient as the number of dengue patients is on rise every year and there is varied presentation of clinical features in different parts of India.Methods: This observational study was carried out in tertiary care hospital. Confirmed cases of Dengue were included in the study. There cases were observed seven days. During this period their clinical and biochemical profile was recorded in pre structured and pre tested proforma. Data was compiled and analyzed by MS-Office (Excel) and SPSS-21.Results: In this study total 129 patients were enrolled. Out of total 91 were males and 38 were females. Laboratory profile of dengue patients suggested steep decline in total leucocytes count and platelet during first five days but started to increase by seventh day but platelets have not reached to its original normal value while TLC reverted to normal range. Fever and headache were most common symptom in our study.Conclusions: Clinical and laboratory profile of dengue patient changes with every new epidemic and different region in India. Clinical features like organomegaly are more common in paediatrics age group than adults.
