Multicenter Epidemiological Survey of Pneumatosis Intestinalis in Japan

Background Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is a rare condition characterized by gas collection in the intestinal wall. We aimed to determine the etiology and affected segments associated with complications, treatment, and outcome. Methods We conducted a multicenter epidemiological survey using a standardized data collection sheet in Japan. Complicating PI was defined as strangulation or bowel necrosis, bowel obstruction, adynamic ileus, sepsis, shock, and massive gastrointestinal bleeding. Results We enrolled 167 patients from 48 facilities. Multivariate analysis revealed that older age (adjusted OR, 1.05 and 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.02-1.09, P=0.0053) and chronic kidney disease (adjusted OR, 13.19 and 95% CI, 1.04-167.62, P=0.0468) were independent predictors of the small-bowel-involved type. Complicating PI was associated with the small-bowel-involved combined type (adjusted OR, 45.49 and 95% CI, 8.34-248.13, P<0.0001), the small-bowel-only type (adjusted OR, 7.90 and 95% CI, 1.92-32.56, P=0.0042), and allopurinol/benzbromaron (adjusted OR, 31.07 and 95% CI, 1.70-567.28, P=0.0204). Oxygen therapy was performed in patients with a past history of bowel obstruction (adjusted OR, 13.77 and 95% CI, 1.31-144.56, P=0.0288) and surgery was performed in patients with complicating PI (adjusted OR, 8.93 and 95% CI, 1.10-72.78, P=0.0408). Antihypertensives (adjusted OR, 12.28 and 95% CI, 1.07-140.79, P=0.0439) and complicating PI (adjusted OR, 11.77 and 95% CI, 1.053-131.526; P=0.0453) were associated with exacerbation of PI. The complicating PI was the only indicator of death (adjusted OR, 14.40 and 95% CI, 1.09-189.48, P=0.0425). Discussion This study provides evidence supporting the association between the small-bowel-involved type and complications and poor prognosis.

Efficacy and Safety of Epidural Analgesia versus Traditional Analgesia for Relief of Labour Pain

Background: Labour pain, a form of acute pain, intensity of the pain is perceived by many women as very severe or intolerable especially in nulliparous. Providing effective and safe analgesia during labour has remained an ongoing challenge. Multiple pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic options are available to manage labour pain. Epidural analgesia have reported nearly complete pain relief with effective labour conduction. Objective: Purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of epidural analgesia and pethidine during labour and delivery. Materials & Methods: This cross sectional comparative study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety between epidural and traditional analgesia on nulliparous women in labour. Subjects were grouped into two, group A received epidural & group B received traditional analgesia, each group comprising with 40 patients. Then the subjects were followed up and outcomes were recorded in a preformed data collection sheet. Results: The two groups were almost identical. Maternal age, gestational age and preinduction pain score (p = 0.127, p = 0.454 and p = 0.186 respectively). Study demonstrated earlier onset, pain score at different time intervals and the time of delivery were lower in epidural group than traditional (p < 0.001). No significant difference of complications (p = 0.431). Two(5%) patients in the epidural and five(12.5%) in the traditional group required caesarean delivery (p=0.455). No significance on neonatal outcome. Conclusion: Epidural analgesia induces a much earlier onset, intensity of pain reduced to a tolerable level and maintained up to delivery which not attained in the traditional method of analgesia.

Clinico-Histopathological Consistency in Dermatological Diseases

Skin biopsy for histopathology is the most reliable investigation for diagnosis of skin diseases. The main purpose of skin biopsy is to confirm clinical diagnosis but dermatologists usually looking for the concordance with histopathological report. The aim of the study was to observe the consistency of clinical and histopathological diagnosis of skin diseases. An observational study was conducted on 630 patients that undertaken skin biopsy and that was performed at the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University from January 2018 to January 2019. Patients who were advised for biopsy by outpatient and inpatient department and the biopsy was done accordingly was included in the study. Finally the inclusion was confirmed when the histopathological report was available. Demographic information, clinical diagnosis, type of biopsy procedure, types of specimen taken and send for histopathological procedure and the histopathological diagnosis was noted in data collection sheet. Histopathological diagnosis and its correlation with clinical diagnosis was assessed for consistency and it was the main outcome measure of the study. The mean age of patients on whom biopsy was performed was 35.14 ±16.57 years and the age range was 5-82 years. Male patients outnumbered female and the male to female ratio was 1.15: 1. Three types of biopsy were performed among them incisional biopsy was the commonest type (93.5%). In most of the cases collected specimen was skin 94.76%, others type of specimens were mucous membrane 2.6%, nail matrix 1.9% and 0.6% specimen was hair follicle. Among the cases 71.43% was diagnosed clinically. The common clinical diagnosis in which biopsy was done was psoriasis and its types 17.77%, lichen planus and its variants 14.12%, the connective tissue diseases 6.19% and infectious diseases 5.39%. In 79.52% cases histopathological diagnosis was done and 68.22% diagnosis was consistent with the clinical diagnosis. The maximum clinico-pathological concordance was found in vesiculo-bullous disease 93.33%. Then connective tissue diseases 79.48%, vasculitides 75% and lichenoid diseases 73.56%. Skin biopsy is a conclusive tool to overcome diagnostic dilemmas in dermatological diseases. The clinico-pathological concordance is assumed lower than the expectation of dermatologists but the collective efforts of dermatologists and pathologists can improve the capacity of diagnosis of biopsy samples.
