Suicide is one of the commonest causes of unnatural death in the world. The number of suicide is increasing over the period of time. Our research focused on a number of factors associated with the occurrence of suicide, these includes- age, gender, religion, cause of death, modes of death. A total of 95 cases of suicide were studied in Sir Salimullah Medical College morgue house in the year 2008. The victims were composed of 33 males (34%) & 62 females (66%) and the age group of 21-30 years was the most common, which indicates occurrence of suicide is more common in young females. Of 95 cases, the most common cause of death was due to asphyxia, 88 cases (92%). Other cases include respiratory failure- 3 cases (3%), hemorrhage & shock- 4 cases (5%). In the discrimination of cause of death, we obtained information on victims & witness as well as investigating the scene & post mortem examination of the victim.   DOI: 10.3329/bmj.v37i2.3593 Bangladesh Medical Journal 37(2) 2008 50-51

Background: Peripheral venous canualation is indispensable in admitted patients in surgical ward, thrombophlebitis following infusion is seldom serious, but it effects on postoperative recovery, hospital stay and hence burden of disease are magnanimous. The main aim and objective of the study to find out the incidence of thrombophlebitis at the intravenous infusion site in surgical ward.Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on 300 patients admitted in surgical ward of S.S Medical College and associated S.G.M. hospital, Rewa (M.P.) patients selected randomly. These Patients were visited daily for any sign and symptoms at infusion site. The incidence of thrombophlebitis according to age, sex and duration of infusion were recorded. The tool designed to collect the data were socio demographic performa and observational check list.Results: In total 300 patients the incidence of thrombophlebits is highest in age group of 41-50(20%), Male (64.66%) and incidence increases as the duration of infusion increased it is 100% after 5 days. The incidence of Grade -1 thrmbophlebitis (71.33%) is higher as compared to Grade- 2 (22.67%).Conclusions: Thrombophelebitis is still an important ongoing problem in admitted patients in surgical ward. Incidence of grade-I thrombophlebitis is higher. It is more in male in the age group of 40-50 and duration of infusion is main causative factor for development of thrombophlebitis.

Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis

Coronary artery atherosclerosis (CAA) leads to ischemic heart disease and that is the most common cause of cardiac deaths worldwide. The incidence is more among the elderly people, but now gradually increasing among the young. The study was done to evaluate the prevalence of CAA in different age group by post-mortem study. An observational study was conducted in the department of Pathology of Faridpur Medical College (FMC). In this study total 53 postmortem histopathological examination of heart were done and analyzed, of them 37 were male and 16 were female. Among all, CAA was found in 8 cases and all were male. Regarding age, 4(50%) cases were in the age group from 41 to 50 years, 3 cases were in age of above 60 years and one case was in the age group from 51 to 60 years. Left CAA was observed in 6(75%) cases, both right and left CAA was found in remaining 2(25%) cases but none was found to involve only right coronary artery. Lowest age of involvement of CAA was 42 years that involved left coronary artery. This study shows that the prevalence of CAA is increasing among the younger age group. Faridpur Med. Coll. J.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines subfertility as the inability to get pregnant in couples who have more than 12 months maintaining frequent sexual intercourse without the use of contraceptives methods. Subfertility affects approximately 10-15% of couples in fertile age and this figure is increasing. Assess the level of serum progesterone\MII oocyte ratio at the day of a trigger is to determine that if associated with poor ICSI-embryo transfer outcome. A retrospective cohort study carried in the period from Nov.1, 2018 to the end of Nov. 2019, when 50 patients were enrolled within the age between 20-35 years old with mean age (29±5)years and the main age group were in between (25-30) years. The most common cause of subfertility was oligospermia (48.0%) and the HCG was positive in (20.0%) of the patients and negative in (80.0%), Significant association were found between implantation rate and P/MII oocyte ratio (P=0.008), while highly significant association were noticed between pregnancy rate and P/MII oocyte ratio (P<0.001). Progesterone increase should be avoided that lead to advance maturation of the endometrium and impaired endometrial receptivity, so from these results, we concluded that raised serum progesterone\MII oocyte ratio at the day of the trigger is related with reduced ICSI-embryo transfer outcome.

Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a common cause of seizure and major cause of neurological illness globally. It is one of the major causes of epilepsy in children. Fewer studies were done in the past regarding NCC in Nepal. However study on NCC in children in Gandaki Medical College (GMC), Charak Hospital is the first of its kind. 23 children with CT scanning of head that were consistent with NCC over a period of 18 months at GMC, Charak Hospital were included as study subjects. Although there are so many diagnostic tools including MRI, immunological and serological tests for the detection of NCC, CT scanning of the head was used for its diagnosis in this study. 17.3% of the study subjects were found to have suffered from NCC. Girls (60%) outnumbered boys (40%); it was more commonly seen in 10-15 years age group (47.83%). Three main clinical presentations were Seizure (100%), Headache (73.91%) and Vomiting (30.43%). Most of the cases had ring en­hancing lesion at colloidal stage. All patients were treated with albendazole, dexamethasone and antiepileptic drugs (AED) and advised strongly to continue for the period of at least 2 years without failure. NCC should be considered and CT/MRI head must be performed in all children above 5 years of age presented as seizure, headache or vomiting where Taenia solium (TS) infestations are found endemic.

Poisoning with Organophosphorus compounds (OPC) is one of the important leading causes of morbidity and mortality for the countrymen of Bangladesh. OPC poisoning is a common cause of acute poisoning. The study was conducted to evaluate the magnitude of death due to OPC poisoning. This paper presents the study of total 852 cases of poisoning comprising 6.42% of the total 13,300 autopsies done during the period of three years (from 01/01/2009 to 31/12/2011) at Dhaka Medical College Mortuary. Of them, there were 478 cases of OPC poisoning. Most of the victims were from rural areas i.e. 296 cases (61.92%) and 182 cases (38.07%) from urban areas. 274 male victims (57.32%) outnumbered females i.e. 204 cases (42.67%) and the most affected age group was 21-30 years i.e. 214 cases (44.76% ). Farmers were the commonest victim i.e. 270 cases (56.48%) followed by housewives i.e. 105 cases (21.96%). Ingestion was the commonest route of poisoning i.e. 460 cases comprising 96.23% followed by 12 cases of inhalation (2.51%) and others. Suicide dominated the list of manner of death i.e. 466 cases comprising 97.48% followed by accidental i.e. 12 cases (2.51%) of the total 478 cases of OPC poisoning.
