Background: Medical method of abortion (MMA) is a safe and effective method of abortion. Combination of mifepristone and misoprostol is most widely used. However, this is being randomly used by women without proper prescription which can lead to life threatening complications.Methods: This is an observational study done at Patna Medical College and Hospital, Patna, a tertiary care teaching hospital in Bihar, in a period of one year from March 2019 to February 2020. This is an attempt to study incomplete abortion after medical method of abortion and to observe the method of taking it among patients, with prescriptions or without it. Hundred women with incomplete abortion following MMA in 1st trimester of pregnancy were included. Patients’ age, parity, gestational age, locality, complaints, complications and treatment were noted. An information regarding method of administration and prescription noted.Results: 96% women used combined mifepristone plus misoprostol drug. Only 12% took the medicine on prescription of MBBS doctor, rest were all either self-administered or advised by quacks. Blood transfusion was required in 60% patients.Conclusions: Medical method of abortion is safe and effective but complications can occur if not used in accordance with guidelines. Women should be taught about and motivated for contraception. Adequate training to health care providers about comprehensive abortion care should be given.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) includes infections occurring after 48 hours of any surgery and accounts for most of the healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in surgical centers. Surgical site infections can result in pain, discomfort, prolonged hospital stay, increased exposure to antimicrobials, and consequentially, increased healthcare costs. Objectives: The study intended to characterize the incidence, etiology, and emerging resistance of SSI in a 1000-bed tertiary-care teaching hospital in New Delhi. Methods: The ambispective study was conducted in a 1000-bed tertiary-care teaching hospital in New Delhi. Clinical, laboratory, and environmental surveillance and screening of health care providers (HCPs) were conducted using the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) definitions and methods given by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Results: With 3,541 patients admitted to the Gynecology and Obstetrics Ward and General Surgical Ward of the hospital, the total episodes of SSI were 80 (2.26%). The mean rates of superficial, deep, and organ space SSI were 46.25%, 47.5%, and 6.25%, respectively. The most common organisms isolated were Acinetobacter baumannii (23.75%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17.5%), Escherichia coli (15%), and Staphylococcus aureus (12.5%). Conclusions: The rate of SSI in our study was comparable to the unadjusted rates in India, lower-middle, upper-middle, and high-income countries worldwide. Patients with pre-existing medical illness, prolonged operation time, and wound contamination are strongly predisposed to surgical site infection.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) has become a modern epidemic as a non-communicable disease showing rising trend all over the world. In Bangladesh a large number of diabetic patients encounter every day to the various diabetic clinics for treatment purpose. Objective: This study aims to observe the socio-demographic and anthropometric profile among newly detected diabetic patients attending to our tertiary care teaching hospital. Methods: This is a hospital-record based cross sectional descriptive study executed in a tertiary care teaching hospital, Dhanmondi, Dhaka. The study group comprises 165 newly detected diabetic patients enrolled in our Bangladesh Medical College Hospital from July 2019 to June 2020. Analysis of data was done by using SPSS 15 software. Prevalence of newly detected diabetes among study population was calculated by using percentage and the strength of association between socio demographic and anthropometric factors were evaluated in our study. Results: Among the 165 study participants, we found that 62 were males and 103 were females. Newly detected DM was more common among 36-50 years of age group followed by 51-65 years. Majority of the participants belonged to urban areas (53.94%) and were graduates (38.18%). Positive family history of DM was found among 93 patients. Nearly 55.76% diabetic patients were overweight followed by 23.63% were obese with moderate to low levels of physical activities were observed mostly. Conclusion: In Bangladesh DM has been emerging as one of the biggest health problems with majority of the patients were unaware about its consequences and morbidity. We need to observe the socio-demographic and anthropometric factors to create the awareness among diabetic patients and prevent its fatal complications.
