Monitoring of Quality Indicators in Pre Analytical Phase of Testing in the Clinical Biochemistry Laboratoryof A Tertiary Care Hospital Attached with Government Medical College.

Background: Fracture shaft humerus is among the most common of fractures. Proximal fractures are more common in elderly and are commonly attributed to low-energy falls, they make up to 5% of all fractures and 25% of humerus fractures, middle fractures about 60% and distal fractures contribute to the remaining fractures. Fractures shaft of humerus account for approximately 3% of all fractures encountered by the orthopedic surgeons.Methods: From November 2017 to October 2018 sixty-two fractures of humeral shaft presented at Emergency Orthopedic Department in Government Medical College Jammu, 30 fractures considered suitable for the study. All these patients were treated conservatively by using the Coaptation ‘U’ shaped slab discharged the next day and evaluation done both clinically and radiologically every two weeks.Results: This study showed that the angulation deformities were considerably reduced by the use of U slab and the POP cast. Smoking appeared to have negative effect on the rate of union.Conclusions: Conservative treatment is one of the most effective methods of treatment. Operative treatment should be limited as much as possible to specific indications given below.

The case sheets of all post operated patients above eighteen years of age admitted were studied and analyzed.Results: Total of 1807 case sheets were analyzed and showed that 4245 antibiotics were prescribed with an average of 2.3 antibiotics prescribed. Oral cefuroxime (17.3%) was maximally prescribed in patients who delivered normal presentation with episiotomy and injection ceftriaxone along with tinidazole and gentamycin were prescribed (58.4%) where caesarean section was done. While injection ceftriaxone and sulbactum along with tinidazole and gentamycin (17.09%) was prescribed in patients who were operated for gynaecological diseases. Maximum (80%) of the antibiotics were prescribed under brand name.Conclusions: Cephalosporin’s are commonly prescribed antibiotic and in eighty percent brand names were prescribed.

Study Participants

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the important causes of morbidity and mortality. With a rise in non communicable diseases in India, diabetes has become a modern epidemic showing a rising trend in West Bengal also. A large number of diabetes patients come to the diabetes clinic of our tertiary care hospital in North Bengal Medical College and Hospital, Darjeeling, West Bengal. The large proportion of patients presenting with this condition prompted us to study the Sociodemographic and Anthropometric Prole of such patients. Methods: This was a descriptive hospital based cross sectional study involving a total of 344 diabetic patients enrolled in the diabetes clinic of a tertiary care teaching hospital from December 2019 to February 2020. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data and was analyzed in Microsoft excel sheet and using SPSS 20.0 software. Results: Among the 344 study participants, we found that 220 (63.95%) were males and 124 (36.05%) were females. Diabetes was more common among those aged 51-60 years 108 (31.40%). Family history was present among 188 (54.65%) of the diabetic patients. Almost 160 (46.51%) patients have diabetes 1.1 – 5 years. Hypertension was present among 216 (62.79%) patients. Almost 218 (63.37%) of the patients were overweight and 84 (24.42%) were obese. Conclusions: The diabetic patients presenting to this tertiary care hospital belong lower socioeconomic strata and having limited education in their age group. There is high proportion of obesity and hypertension among them.
