Neglected or maltreated earache, ear discharge and trauma lead to perforation of tympanic membrane. Tympanoplasty is the surgical procedure performed to repair a perforated tympanic membrane, with/without reconstruction of the ossicles, with the aim of preventing reinfection and restoring hearing ability. Type 1 tympanoplasty is the simple closure of the tympanic membrane perforation. To study the outcome of type 1 tympanoplasty operation by interlay technique, a descriptive longitudinal study was conducted among 200 patients in Community Based Medical College Hospital and in private clinics of Mymensingh from January 2012 to December 2021. Our inclusion criteria was population of age ranging from 15 to 55 yrs of both sexes having dry central perforation for at least 6 weeks and exclusion criteria was patient with active stage of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM), ossicular discontinuity, sensory neural hearing loss. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 20.0. Prevalence of taking graft was 96.00%. Measured by difference of preoperative air bone gap (ABG) and postoperative ABG of 15 decibel (dB) hearing improvement rate was 90%. Complication was minimal (1%). The complication was infection due to non-compliance with postoperative advice and treatment. Type 1 tympanoplasty done by interlay technique has excellent results both in terms of graft taken and hearing improvement with minimal complications. \u0000CBMJ 2023 January: Vol. 12 No. 01 P: 67-72","PeriodicalId":10576,"journal":{"name":"Community Based Medical Journal","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84709509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is mainly because of the presence of extra copy of chromosome number 21. Dermatoglyphic has been well established as a diagnostic aid in number of diseases having hereditary basis. Dermatoglyphic data was obtained by the use of ink and prints on a paper. This cross-sectional, analytical type of study was performed at the Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from January 2017 to December 2017 on 40 Down syndrome subjects (age ranged from 6 to 16) selected from Society for the Welfare of the Intellectually Disabled, Bangladesh (SWID, Bangladesh) and Down Syndrome Society of Bangladesh (DSS) and compared with 40 controls for the establishment of comparison between two groups. Dermatoglyphic prints were used to evaluate the difference in „atd‟ „dat‟ „adt‟ angles and pattern intensity between the control and the DS individuals. The results showed that „atd‟ angle was significantly higher (p<0.05) in Down males than the controls. The dactylography study also revealed lower „dat‟ „adt‟ angles (p<0.05) and pattern intensity (p<0.001) in both hands of Down syndrome group. This method is non-invasive and cost effective. The observed changes in the „atd‟ „dat‟ and „adt‟ angles plus the patterns intensity in the dermatoglyphic study proved that this simple technique could be a valuable tool for selecting individuals of DS for cytogenetic analysis. \u0000CBMJ 2022 July: vol. 11 no. 02 P: 144-151","PeriodicalId":10576,"journal":{"name":"Community Based Medical Journal","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77763458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 160 participants (all aged between 1 and 18 years) were selected from the outpatient department (OPD) of BIRDEM General Hospital-2, Dhaka – 80 type 1 diabetic children as cases and 80 apparently healthy children as controls. We measured anthropometric parameters all study subjects. Serum zinc level was assessed using colorimetric method. Fasting plasma glucose level was estimated using enzymatic glucose-oxidase method. Glycemic control was evaluated through estimation of HbA1c using a high-performance liquid chromatographic method. The mean serum zinc levels were significantly lower in patient with type 1 DM compared to control (72.5±16.5 vs. 82.4±13.3 μg/dl; P<0.001). Lower levels of zinc were found in subjects with poor glycemic control compared to good glycemic control (62.8±14.6 vs. 78.8±14.6 μg/dl; P<0.001). Moreover, serum zinc levels were significantly lower in patients who have duration of diabetes mellitus for 5 years or more (P<0.05). To summarize, serum zinc level is lower in type 1 diabetic children in comparison to its healthy counterpart and this lower zinc level is strongly associated with poor glycemic control which may potentially contribute to the early development of diabetic complications in children. \u0000CBMJ 2022 July: vol. 11 no. 02 P: 80-85","PeriodicalId":10576,"journal":{"name":"Community Based Medical Journal","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82724452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study samples include 100 healthy mothers and 100 term healthy babies. Initially, all the mothers and babies were observed for their position and attachment during breastfeeding within 24 hours of the delivery and documented in a standard data sheet. Then the mothers were shown the wall chart of nursing mothers and breastfeeding manual and taught practically by the investigators. Mothers were requested to come after 15 days for follow-up visit so that they become physically fit by that time and improve their skills. At follow-up visit, documentation of the position and attachment during breastfeeding was done in the data sheet. Comparison of each of the components of positioning and attachment was done with first observation (i.e., within 24 hours of the birth of the baby) and follow-up observation (i.e., after 15 days).
