It is a major worldwide cause of preventable corneal blindness that is mostly under-reported but can be responsible every year for 1.5–2.0 million new cases of monocular blindness. Detailed studies of severe sight-threatening infectious keratitis are therefore important as they provide valuable information on the detection of etiology, predisposing factors, and visual outcomes to form the development of management strategies and protocols. Aims and Objectives: To study the clinical profile and known risk factors of infected corneal ulcers at rural tertiary care hospital. Materials and Methods: An Observational, Descriptive Cross-Sectional Hospital-based study was conducted after Institutional Ethical Committee (IEC) at the Department of Ophthalmology, DVPRMC, Loni. A total of 70 patients with infected corneal ulcers were screened and evaluated from June 2022 to May 2023 for a duration of 1 year. We studied the infected corneal ulcer patients above 18 years old attending to our hospital OPD. Results: 57% of patients were male and 43% were female. 66% of patients gave a history of trauma. The most common clinically diagnosed ulcer was fungal, representing 53% of all ulcers, followed by bacterial (27%) and viral (13%). There were also 2 cases each of acanthamoeba (3%) and pythium (3%) ulcers. 62.8% of cases were above 50 years old. In our study 73% of suspected fungal corneal ulcers were KOH smear-positive and 70% of suspected bacterial corneal ulcers were gram-positive. All cases were advised medical management. Out of those 43% were also advised therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty. Conclusion: Corneal ulcers are commonly seen in adult male farmers and laborers with ocular trauma in rural areas and fungal ulcer is the most common type of ulcer. Late presentation with corneal perforation requires therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty.","PeriodicalId":13781,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140414083","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}

Objective: This study assess the health seeking awareness and utilization of reproductive health services and determines the association between health seeking awareness and utilization of adolescence reproductive health service with selected demographic variables. Method: The descriptive study with non-experimental research design was used the analysis and interpretation was done using SPSS version 18 and excel 2010. Result: More than half (54.65%) adolescence boys and girls knew correctly about male and female reproductive system and more than half (46.94%) adolescence knew incorrectly about STD, contraception, pregnancy and abortion. However only (5%) of adolescence had ever used reproductive health services and majority of 74.2% adolescence had never used these services. Reproductive health knowledge was significantly associated with fathers qualification, fathers occupation and source of information. Reproductive health services utilization was significantly associated with age, class, source of information. Conclusion: This study clearly depicted that more than half adolescents were not utilizing the services. Lack of adolescent reproductive friendly clinics, fear/embarrassment and concealed service were reasons for not utilizing the service.Fear of social value and being embarrassed, misconception of adolescents about pregnancy, unsafe sex, shortage of supply, harmful traditional practices and lack of school based adolescent reproductive health services.","PeriodicalId":13781,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140416037","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}

The interest of our study is to show the importance of capnography and ultrasound guidance during an ID blind nasotracheal. Comment: It concerns the management of the respiratory tract of a patient aged 41 years and 78 kg followed for epilepsy since childhood, substegretol 200mgx2/jet with congenital TMJ ankylosis. On the basis of preoperative clinical and radiological results, we have found the criteria for ID in particular the impossibility of opening the mouth and with the resources available, an intubation nasotracheal surgery under general anesthesia with spontaneous breathing was considered and a written informed consent for an emergency tracheotomy if required has been obtained from the patient. The procedure successively consisted of pre-oxygenation of the facial mask, xylocaine 0.05% a been sprayed into the right nostril, 0.05% xylocaine gargle, blockage of the laryngeal nerves superior by transcutaneous injections of lidocaine 1% and intra-tracheally, then we performed sedation with propofol 50mg. Blind nasotracheal intubation was successful in one uneventful attempt per No. 6.5 mm reinforced probe, the verification was made by visualizing the intra-tracheal probe at through ultrasound and confirmation by capnography. The anesthesia was completed by the administration of fentanyl 250 gamma, propofol 100 mg and rocuronium 40mg. Maintenance of anesthesia was performed by a mixture of isoflurane (1.5%) and oxygen and air (50%:50%). The patient was extubated after the surgical procedure and the operation was a success. Conclusion: The anesthesia of patients with TMJ ankylosis represents a situation where the difficulties tracheal intubation should be considered in principle, and where an anticipatory strategy should be developed. Due to the absence of anasofibroscopy, the anesthetic treatment must be carried out by a team experienced and trained in blind ID.","PeriodicalId":13781,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Advanced Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140412580","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}
