Methods: A prospective study carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at a tertiary care center. After counseling with patients and her relatives during antepartum period, IUCD insertion was done in 1438 patients. In 417 patients IUCD was inserted vaginally. In 1021 patients IUCD was inserted while cesarean section. All these patients were followed up after 6 weeks and after 6 months interval regularly. All the complications were recorded and studied. Incidence, clinical outcome & missing threads were analyzed. Results: Both the methods of PPIUCD insertion were safe and efficacious. Out of 1438 women ,1340 cases had follow up as per the protocol. Fifty eight cases who lost for follow up and 40 cases who had spontaneous expulsion, were excluded from study. There were missing strings in 363 cases at 6 weeks examination and in 338 cases at 6 months follow up examination. Ultrasonography of pelvis establishes IUCD location in uterine cavity. Neither perforation nor pregnancy with PPIUCD was found in present study. They have low rates of abdominal pain, pelvic infection, heavy menstruation and lost strings. Conclusion: PPIUCD is an appealing approach and may become a choice of post-partumcontraception. It is safe and effective method of reversible contraception.Missing strings after PPIUCD insertion is a common problem encountered during follow up examination. Every user must be followed up and provider must take better aftercare in forms of follow up and management of complication if needed.","PeriodicalId":14489,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"49-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79967053","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}

Various risk factors are implicated in the development of hypertension and there are differences in these risk factors in urban and rural populations depending on the level of development and epidemiological transition. Aims & Objective:The preesent study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence of hypertension and identify & compare some socio-demographic and lifestyle risk factors associated with hypertension in urban and rural populations of Hapur. Materials and methods: It’s a community based cross-sectional study in which 300 adults each were randomly selected from urban and rural populations of Hapur using modified cluster sampling method. Selected individuals were examined and interviewed using a structured, pre-tested questionnaire. Two Blood Pressure readings were recorded using mercury sphygmomanometer in the sitting position and the mean of two was considered for analysis. Data entry and analysis was done using SPSS for windows version 8.1. Result:Most of the study population belonged to age group of 20–29 yrs (27.5%) followed by 30–39 yrs (24.5%). 41.2% of the study population was constituted by males and the rest 58.8% by females. Majority of the study population belonged to middle class (58%) followed by upper lower class (18%). The prevalence of hypertension was 21% in the present study, which is comparable to the estimates given by World Health Organization (23%). Around 33.7% of the population had blood pressure in the normal range and 45.3% of the population had pre-hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension was 23.7% in the urban areas and 18.3% in the rural areas. This difference was found to be statistically insignificant. Conclusion: The present study identified as risk factors for the development of hypertension – increasing age, sedentary occupation, higher socio-economic status, extra salt intake, family history of hypertension, reduced physical activity, tobacco smoking, smokeless tobacco consumption, alcohol consumption, BMI ≥ 25 and high waist-hip ratio.","PeriodicalId":14489,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences","volume":"8 1","pages":"21-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79642881","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 strong relationship exists between stature and dimensions of different body parts, particularly bone lengths. In this study, an attempt has been made to derive regression equation to estimate stature from percutaneous length of ulna and tibia among Naga population of Nagaland. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted at Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Manipur on 100 healthy Medical Students from Nagaland (50 males and 50 females; aged 19-35 years). Stature, length of ulna and tibia on both sides were measured in standard position. Statistical analysis done using SPSS 21. Results: Mean ages of males and females were 23.22 ±3.93 years and 23.12 ±3.34 years, respectively which was not significant. Mean stature of males was 168.12±5.48 cms and females was 157±5.41 cms. Mean ulna and tibial length in males were significantly longer than that of females. A positive correlation between height and both the length of long bones was observed in both the sexes. Conclusion: Distinct sexual dimorphism observed in stature and length of ulna and tibia and also positive linear correlations observed between height and length of ulna and tibia. Linear regression models for stature estimation derived.

Metabolic Syndrome doubles the risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular diseases and approximately four fold increases the risk of developing type II diabetes mellitus. It has been seen that Metabolic Syndrome is on the rising trend especially in post-menopausal women. Metabolic Syndrome is widely increasing especially in the transition phase in every woman’s life from premenopausal to menopausal phase. The aim of this study is to compare presence of metabolic syndrome and its components in premenopausal and post-menopausal women. Material and Methods: The study was conducted in 300 pre-menopausal and 300 postmenopausal women attending Medicine OPD and admitted in ward of Dr. B.R.A.M. Hospital, Raipur C.G. from March 2015 to August 2016.The objective of the study was explained and informed to women and data of each women was recorded in identical pre designed proforma after informed and written consent. Participants were categorized into two groups Pre-menopausal age group and Post-menopausal age group. Investigations including Fasting blood sugar, Lipid Profile and Anthropometric measurements including height, weight, waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) was recorded. A modified definition by the Adult Treatment Panel III guideline of the National Cholesterol Education Program was used to categorize the subjects according to presence of metabolic syndrome. Results: In the present study the mean age of pre-menopausal and postmenopausal group was 42.8 yrs and 54.5 yrs respectively in a study group of 300 women in each. The mean age of attaining menopause in present study was 46 ± 3.1 yrs. Mean systolic BP in pre-menopausal and post-menopausal study group was 117.13±10.87mmHg and 118.23+13.15mmHg respectively. Mean Diastolic BP in pre-menopausal and postmenopausal study group was 78.55 ± 8.19mmHg and 77.70+9.24mmHg respectively. No significant difference was observed between two groups regarding systolic BP (p=0.265) and diastolic BP.
