Objective: To assess socio-epidemiology of Antepartum Fetal Death IAFD) in a tertiary hospital in Bangladesh. Method: Fifty three pregnant women with intra-uterine fetal death before or after delivery were interviewed in Gvnaecologv in-patient of Dhaka Medical College Hospital during 2004-2005. In this cross sectional study selected socio-demographic factors like age, education, occupation, income etc. and epidemio/ogic factors like previous stillbirth or congenital anomaly history, antenatal history, and other medical conditions like gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension were sought. Results: Respondents were young (25.15 ± 6.45), married at an earlier age (18.51 ± 2.85), majority (62.26%) got pregnant at <=20 years and more than 50% were primigravid. Most (84.9%) of the respondents were either illiterate or low educated whereas 53% of the husbands were so. Nearly 70% worked more than 8 hours a day, almost half had low family income. History of stillbirth (13.21%>) and congenital anomaly (9.43%) in previous pregnancy were also found with AFD. More than half (29, 54.7%) of the respondents did not take ANC during this pregnancy. Only 3 respondents had gestational diabetes and 7 had pregnancv induced hypertension. Conclusion: Increasing the age at marriage and pregnancy, education, adequate rest during pregnancv and off course, increasing coverage of ANC could bring about satisfactory outcome if taken care of before future pregnancies.

Background: Intestinal obstruction is a common surgical problem that surgeons face in clinical practice. Still intestinal obstruction is a major problem in medical college hospitals in Bangladesh. Causes of intestinal obstruction remain same as earlier. There is lack of statistical data in our country. So, this study will be helpful in various aspect of management of intestinal obstruction patients by providing data. Objective: To find out similarities between preoperative diagnosis with actual peroperative findings of intestinal obstruction. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2013 to April 2014 at Enam Medical College Hospital and Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Two hundred patients were selected by purposive sampling of diagnosed cases of intestinal obstruction. Results: Among the subjects male were 124 (62%) and female were 76 (38%). Mean age was 34.56 ± 9.13 years. The maximum respondents were from 21–30 years age group (54%) followed by 31–40 years (18%) age group. Chronic intestinal obstruction was present in 53% cases and acute intestinal obstruction in 47% cases. The clinical profile showed that all patients had abdominal pain followed by vomiting (78%). The preoperative diagnosis of intestinal obstruction was neoplastic obstruction (24%) followed by obstructed hernia (22.5%). The highest similarities (100%) were observed in case of volvulus and ileosigmoid knotting. Obstructed hernia had the highest accuracy (97.7%) followed by neoplastic obstruction (91.66%). Maximum patients (13.5%) suffered from wound infection followed by burst abdomen (3%). Conclusion: The preoperative diagnoses are very much similar to peroperative findings. The clinical parameters and other mandatory diagnostic tools commonly used in tertiary level hospitals in our country showed diagnostic accuracy in diagnosis of intestinal obstruction.

Many (72.41%) pregnant women considered USG use to detect fetal anomalies while 27.93% considered for sex detection. Majority (93.1%) done USG in this pregnancy, of that more (43.45 %) in second trimester and mainly advised by doctors (91.03%). Nearly half of them (50.69%) considered its expensive procedure, 69.31% spent 200/- to 500/- rupees per USG, in spite 94.83% of them would recommend other pregnant women to undergo USG in pregnancy. 50.69%% of them opined it should be done twice in pregnancy. Almost 94.83% considered USG as safe and beneficial.Conclusions: Awareness regarding the uses of Ultrasonography during pregnancy and attitude towards it was found to be average. There is need to create more awareness in community about PCPNT act and its provisions. Also there is need of counselling about the safety, utility and frequency of USG during pregnancy to avoid misuse.

Background: Pregnancy-induced hypertension adversely affects the development of placenta and growth of fetus. The objective of the study was to compare the weight and volume of placentae in normotensive pregnancies versus patients with pregnancy-induced hypertension. Material & Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy, Gomal Medical College, D.I.Khan, from January 2014 to October 2014. Sample size was 150. Consecutive sampling technique was used. Inclusion criteria was pregnant women of all ages and parity. Grouping variable was presence of PIH with two attributes of yes and no. Research variables were placental weight in grams and placental volume in milliliters. A total of 150 placentae with the cord were collected after delivery from pregnant women, from the labour room of obstetric unit, DHQ Teaching Hospital, D.I.Khan. Structured proforma was used to record the presence or otherwise of PIH. Subjects were divided into two groups on basis of presence or absence of PIH; group A with 50 normotensive pregnant females and group B with 100 patients with PIH. Placental weight and volume were measured in terms of mean ± SD, whereas categorical variables as frequency and percentage. Students t test was used in Social Sciences Online calculator. Results: Out of 150 patients, 50 were normotensive and 100 were having PIH. Mean weight of placentae in groups A and B were 421.40±17.90 g and 320.60 ±14.95 g respectively whereas mean volume of placentae in groups A and B were 396.10±10.40 ml and 280.50 ±10.35 ml respectively.

Study Results

A cross sectional, descriptive study was done to find the incidence of dental caries among paediatric patients by age, oral hygiene and correlation to the parent's occupation, education status. Total 400 children aged 2-12 years who attended the Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College Hospital, Dhaka during the study period were included in the study. Among them the number of boys and girls were 194 (48.5%) and 206 (51.5%) respectively. The children of 6-7 years old had the highest caries score both for primary and permanent teeth. It indicated that children at this age group were more vulnerable to dental caries. It may be because they were too young to take care of their teeth at the same time their parents may not aware about the information regarding eruption time of permanent teeth in the mouth. The study results also revealed that parent's occupation had a great impact on their oral hygiene status where the business and teaching occupation had a negative and positive influence on their children respectively. Therefore, education may have a great role about maintaining better life-style.

Induced Hypertension

Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) complicates approximately 6% of pregnancies globally and it is the most important cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The purpose of the cross sectional descriptive type of study was to assess the socio-demographic/economic characteristics of women with PIH in a selected tertiary care hospital. Respondents were selected by purposive sampling technique and data were collected by face to face interview using a semistructured type of questionnaire. In this study, the number purposively selected respondents was 113 who came for treatment in gynecology and obstetrics related inpatient and outpatient departments of the hospital. It was found that the age of mothers was directly and significantly (p < 0.01) associated with PIH. The development of PIH was higher in the educated mothers than illiterate or less educated mothers. The relationship between PIH and educational status was significant (p < 0.01). The association between the proportion of mothers with PIH and family history of hypertension was also statistically significant (p < 0.01). Awareness regarding the associated risk factors for PIH shall be helpful in reducing the PIH related morbidity and mortality.Mediscope Vol. 3, No. 2: July 2016, Pages 31-35
