Objective: The specialty of occupational medicine is newly developing in Turkey and the number of specialists and the specialty clinics are very few. The aim of this study is to present the first two-year data of an occupational medicine outpatient clinic. This clinic is unique as it is the first outpatient clinic in a secondary health care center in Turkey (except dedicated occupational disease hospitals), and the first residency-trained occupational medicine specialist in Turkey was running this clinic. The data will be compared with national numbers in order to show if these clinics make a difference in diagnosis and notification of occupational diseases. Materials and Methods: The data is collected from the hospital database between 2017 August to 2019 August who applied to Occupational Diseases Clinic in the hospital. Only the patients who were referred by a physician or applied themselves with suspicion of an occupational disease are included to the study. The patients who applied for periodic examinations, fitness for work evaluations are not included. Results: A total of 491 patients were included to the study. 444 of them did not have a prior diagnosis of occupational disease. Of these patients, 162 (36.4%) were diagnosed with an occupational disease. 42.6 % of these diagnoses were pneumoconiosis. Conclusion: Occupational diseases are underdiagnosed and/or underreported in Turkey. A single center dedicated to occupational diseases made a substantial increase in the number of occupational diseases in two years. In conclusion, these clinics would help improving recognition of occupational diseases.

Rare Case Report

ABSTRACT Nasal dermoid sinus cysts are uncommon congenital anomalies that require interventions only when they present as complications. They frequently present in childhood as midline nasal masses requiring excision. They may present with intracranial as well as intraorbital extensions, making it necessary to subject the patient for proper radiological diagnosis preoperatively. Here, we present a rare case report of 28-year-old male patient who presented at our tertiary health care center with nasal dermoid cyst expanding into the frontal sinus causing proptosis and blurring of vision. The cyst was excised by combined approach, i.e. external nasal dermoid sinus tract excision and endoscopic nasofrontal sinusotomy for complete removal. The embryology, clinical history, diagnosis and surgical management are discussed. How to cite this article Gupta R, Gupta A, Budhiraja G, Francis AA.

Structured Questionnaire

This was a description type of cross sectional study conducted among 210 rural mothers having 0-6 months child, attending the out patient department of Sirajdikhan Upazilla Heath Complex, Munshigonj. Total 210 women were selected by purposive sampling method. Data were collected through structured questionnaire by face to face interview Out of 210 respondents, majority (59.52%) was in the age group 18-27 years and only 0.48% was above 47 years. Mean age of the respondents was 26.29 years. Most of the respondents (43.33%) completed SSC and only 3.8% were uneducated. Among the respondents 83.33% were house wives. Monthly incomes of the respondents (39.05%) were more than 12000 taka. Most of the mother (80.95%) had children of age 1-3 years. Majority of mothers (77.14%) had conception about requirement of initiation of weaning at 6 months and 15.24% had at 5 months. Maximum respondents (44.76%) had given khichury, 44.29% Shuji and rest of them (10.95%) had given home made food. Mothers (78.57%) continued breast feeding with weaning. About 74.76% respondents complained of occasional vomiting with weaning. Majority (62.38%) of children had given food on time, those children who were provided complementary feeding was physically normal. Majority (57.14%) of mothers had no complained during weaning period. Registered physicians (76.19%) were the health care provider when the children were sick. Although most of the mothers started weaning at appropriate times, we cannot consider it satisfactory. As we must think about all the children and keep all of them healthy, we need to improve this rate up to 100%. Unless we achieve this level we can't achieve our goals of health for all.

Self Harm

Abstract. Background: Indigenous Australians experience a suicide rate over twice that of the general population. With nonfatal deliberate self-harm (DSH) being the single most important risk factor for suicide, characterizing the incidence and repetition of DSH in this population is essential. Aims: To investigate the incidence and repetition of DSH in three remote Indigenous communities in Far North Queensland, Australia. Method: DSH presentation data at a primary health-care center in each community were analyzed over a 6-year period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2011. Results: A DSH presentation rate of 1,638 per 100,000 population was found within the communities. Rates were higher in age groups 15–24 and 25–34, varied between communities, and were not significantly different between genders; 60% of DSH repetitions occurred within 6 months of an earlier episode. Of the 227 DSH presentations, 32% involved hanging. Limitations: This study was based on a subset of a larger dataset not specifically designed for DSH data collection and assesses the subset of the communities that presented to the primary health-care centers. Conclusion: A dedicated DSH monitoring study is required to provide a better understanding of DSH in these communities and to inform early intervention strategies.
