Approximately 50–80 % of women suffering from postpartum blues in the puerperal period, with about 20 % of them developing postpartum depression. So, this study is carried out with the objective to assess the depression during post-partum period among women in Tumakuru by using Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the outpatient department of Sri Siddhartha Medical College Hospital and District hospital, Tumakuru from November 2016 to May 2017. Total number of participants were 100. Data was collected using interview method by using Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Descriptive statistics was done to get frequencies and percentages and chi square test was applied. Results: Out of 100 women, 16(16%) belong to 19 to 21 years of age; the mean age being 23.6 years and standard deviation of 2.425. In our study, 60 (60%) women experienced depression during their postnatal period. 74.1% of women experienced depression among the age group 26 to 29, there was no significant association between maternal age and depression among the study population. Conclusion: The above study shows that 60 % of the woman suffer from postnatal depression. There is no significant association between the age, area of residence, mode of delivery, sex of the baby and depression among the study population","PeriodicalId":121001,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Medical and Allied Health Sciences","volume":"67 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125961199","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}

Chromosomal abnormalities are known to be an important cause of severe mental retardation. Aim: This study is done to identify the chromosomal abnormalities in pupils of special schools in Tumakuru District & to correlate it with mental retardation. Materials and methods: With the detailed history & written consent from the parents, a total number of 25 pupils from special schools in Tumakuru District were subjected to through clinical examination, following which blood samples were obtained and karyotyping was done at cytogenetic laboratory at Department of Anatomy, Sri Siddhartha Medical College, Tumakuru. Results are tabulated following which Genetic counseling was offered to the families of these children. Results: A review was carried out to establish the value of chromosome testing in children with significant developmental delay, where the aetiology was not evident clinically. Of the 25 pupils studied, 7 were girls and 18 were boys. A total of 4 i.e. 16% of the cases revealed an abnormal karyotype (2 boys & 2 girls). The advantages of chromosome testing in children with developmental delay in whom the etiology is not evident clinically are discussed. Conclusion: The control of genetic diseases should be based on integrated and comprehensive strategy combining best possible treatment and prevention through community education, population screening, genetic counselling & availability of early diagnosis. Recognition of parents with chromosomal abnormalities which can be inherited, is important, as the risk of recurrence is high in some cases.","PeriodicalId":121001,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Medical and Allied Health Sciences","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129393919","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}

According to government estimates quoted by International Labour Organization, there are close to 5 million workers involved in rolling of beedis in India. A Beedi worker in the process of rolling may inhale tobacco dust and other harmful components. Objectives: 1. To describe the socio-demographic profile of study subjects. 2. To assess the work characteristics of study subjects. 3. To assess the morbidity profile of study subjects. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the urban field practice area of a Medical College, from June 2017 to December 2017. All the beedi workers (both gender) currently working from at least 6 months residing in above defined area were included in the study. A pretested semi-structured questionnaire was administered to the study subjects to collect information regarding socio demographic profile, work pattern and morbidity pattern. Results: The age of study subjects was 40.6±12.29yrs. Musculoskeletal symptoms (41.66%) were the most common complaints followed by neurological (40%), eye (21.66%) and skin (20.00%) symptoms.

A variety of organisms are associated with UTI irrespective of whether they are community or hospital acquired. Aim and Objective: The aim of the study was to determine the bacteriological profile and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of organisms causing UTI in patients attending OPD. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology, Sri Siddhartha Medical College, Tumakuru from Jan 2017 Mar 2017. All suspected cases of UTI sent for urine culture were tested, bacteriological profile and antibiotic sensitivity pattern was evaluated. Results: A total of 392 clinically suspected cases of UTI of all ages and both sexes were studied. Among the 392 samples, 154 samples yielded significant growth, among these110 (71.42%) were of females and 44 (28.57%) were of males. Culture positive cases in the age group 21-40 years (52.59%) were the highest. Escherichia coli (29.22%) was the most common organism isolated followed by Klebsiella sps (18.18%) among gram negative bacilli and Staphylococcus aureus (10.38%) among gram positive cocci. Escherichia coli was 100% sensitive to nitrofurantoin, amikacin and imipenem. The isolation of Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) among gram negative bacterial isolates was 2.5%. Staphylococcus aureus was sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid (100%)and all the isolates were Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) Conclusion: UTI is most common in females and E.coli was the most common uropathogen isolated. Culture results and antibiogram help in the specific treatment and judicious antibiotic usage to prevent drug resistance.","PeriodicalId":121001,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Medical and Allied Health Sciences","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127796852","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}
