Abstract Objective Nursing profession is subject to occupational stress, which can be a trigger for headaches. Our study aimed to study the prevalence of migraine, its characteristics, triggers, and relieving factors among nursing students in a tertiary care center. Materials and Methods This study was performed in a super-specialty hospital in South India. A structured questionnaire captured data on the occurrence of headache, demographics, aura, triggering factors, relieving factors, and lifestyle habits. Results are presented in numbers and percentage. Results A total of 20% of nursing students in the study had headache of which 85% had migraine. Weekly and daily attacks were reported in 12 and 4% students, respectively. Twenty-two percent had headache severity of more than 5 visual analogue scale. Most common accompanying symptoms were photophobia (80%), phonophobia (70%), nausea (75%), vomiting (71%), neck pain (25%), and vertigo (20%). Thirty-nine percent had auras. Ninety-five percent reported triggers with 70% students having more than one trigger. Sleep was the relieving factor in 69%, head massage in 50%, and relaxing from work in 48%. Conclusion The most common type of primary headache in nurses in our study was migraine. More than three-fourths nurses reported triggers and relieving factors. Addressing these factors could help in managing migraines and help in improving the quality of life and increased work productivity of nurses.

Context: Gastric cancer(GC) is fth most common cancer worldwide. Mostly presents with advanced stage and poor overall survival. Methods: Retrospective study on clinical, pathological, pattern of distant metastasis(DM) , treatment aspect of GC treated between January 2014 to December 2018 in a tertiary care center in south India. Statistical analysis : Chi square test and multivariate analysis (MVA) were used for analysis. P <0.05 was considered signicant. Results: Median age at diagnosis is 57 years. Higher male : female ratio. Most common presentation was abdominal pain followed vomiting. Malignant Gastric outlet obstruction(MGOO) was present in 22.7%. Histologically , all patients had adenocarcinoma with predominantly moderate differentiation (51.1%). Liver (19.1%)was most common site of metastasis . Curative surgery was done in 35.5% of patients. D2 lymph node dissection was performed in 12.4% of patient. Patients were given perioperative /preoperative/ adjuvant / palliative chemotherapy. MVA revealed history of tobacco use, body of stomach tumor location, nodal disease were risk factors for DM. Conclusion : The present analysis revealed use of tobacco, alcohol intake were main risk factors for GC. Most of the patients present in advanced stage , so prevention by avoiding risk factors and early detection by signs , symptoms and endoscopy are necessary. Use of tobacco,site of tumor location, nodal disease were factors associated with DM. Aggressive management with both surgery and chemotherapy is warranted for locally advanced disease.
