Objectives: To determine the frequency of diabetes in pregnancy (DIP), namely pre-gestational, gestational (GDM) and overt diabetes mellitus (DM) in women registered for delivery. Methods: A retrospective chart review of antenatal women registered between January 01 to August 31, 2017 was performed. Gestational age, diagnosis of DIP, glucose levels at diagnosis and other relevant data was extracted. The effect of various fasting blood glucose (FBG) thresholds for diagnosis of DIP was assessed. Results: DIP was diagnosed in 21.8% women (pre-gestational: 2%, GDM: 81.2%, overt DM: 16.8%). In early registrants, 30.2% were detected through screening. However, 55.3% of women registered late. Women with pre-gestational DM were older, had more miscarriages, and greater personal and family history of diabetes versus GDM and overt DM. Raising the diagnostic threshold of FBG from 92 mg/dl to 95 mg/dl missed three women (0.1%) and to 105 mg/dl, missed six women (0.2%). Conclusion: We observed a high proportion of overt DM. In early registrants, almost one third of DIP was diagnosed in the first half of pregnancy, an opportunity missed in late registrants. Altering diagnostic thresholds of DIP affected only a small proportion of women. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.ICON-Suppl.1723 How to cite this:Wali AS, Rafique R, Iftikhar S, Ambreen R, Yakoob MY.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Psoriasis is a chronic immune mediated inflammatory condition of the skin. Palmoplantar psoriasis (PPP) is a clinical variant of plaque psoriasis affecting palms and soles extending to the wrist and the margins of the soles and heels. This study was done to find out the prevalence of palmoplantar psoriasis in our setting. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence, demographic features and other co-morbidities of the palmoplantar plaque psoriasis in a tertiary care centre.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> We conducted retrospective study for a period of one year (January 2017 to December 2017) on palmoplantar plaque psoriasis patients attending the dermatology OPD.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Among 552 enrolled psoriasis patients, 85 were clinically diagnosed to have palmoplantar psoriasis. The mean age of the patient was 45 years. Most of them belong to 4<sup>th</sup>, 5<sup>th </sup>and 6<sup>th</sup> decade of life. The male to female ratio was 1:2.26. The duration of the disease was more than one year in 73% of patients at the study time. Occupation of the patients included house-wives (50%), manual labourers (36%) and office goers, (13%). Hyperkeratotic plaque type psoriasis with scaling and fissures was the predominant morphological pattern recorded. Dyslipidemia (22%), overweight and obesity (56%), hypothyroidism (6%) and diabetes mellitus (12%) were the observed co-morbidities in this study.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The prevalence of palmoplantar psoriasis (0.09%) was low in our study. Palmoplantar psoriasis affected middle aged adults and had a female predominance in this study.

Being a relapsing and chronic condition the disease poses a poor quality of life than plaque type psoriasis.</p>

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which occurs either when the pancreas does not reproduce enough insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar level or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Hyperglycemia or raised blood sugar level is a common effect of uncontrolled diabetes and over time leads to serious damage to many of the system of the body especially nerves and blood vessels. Diabetes mellitus has become the cause for growing public health concern in developing countries as it has been for a long time in most developed ones. The reason for increase in prevalence of diabetes mellitus in developing countries may include unhealthy life style, rapid westernization, poor knowledge, negative attitude and poor practice towards diabetes mellitus among general population. Objective of the study was to find out the knowledge, and awareness towards diabetes mellitus among diabetic foot ulcer patients attending in a tertiary care Centre.Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in the surgical outpatient department of a tertiary care Centre. All diabetic foot ulcer patients attending surgical outpatient department for the period of two months was included. Juvenile diabetic patients, Type II diabetes mellitus patients with co morbidities are excluded.Results: Out of the 100-study participant’s majority are males (61%). 55% of the study participants are not aware of the major cause of diabetes mellitus. 92% of the population knew the accurate method of monitoring diabetes mellitus. 70.6% of people are aware of normal blood sugar level. 51% of people are aware of the complications of diabetes mellitus and 84.3% of people know the symptoms of diabetes mellitus. 68.6% of the population knew regular exercise can control diabetes mellitus yet only 50.8% of population exercise regularly.Conclusions: This study reflects that there is a need to improve diabetic knowledge among the patients which can be achieved through health education.
