Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Ayub Teaching Hospital Abbottabad. Period: 2nd July 2020 to 31st December 2022. Material & Methods: Following the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 168 patients, aged between 6 months and 11 years, presenting with suspected esophageal foreign bodies, were included in the study after obtaining written consent. Socio-demographic information, clinical history, and symptoms were carefully recorded. Diagnostic procedures included neck X-rays, extended to the chest, and abdominal X-rays as necessary. Rigid esophagoscopy, performed under general anesthesia, was utilized to confirm and remove foreign bodies. Subsequently, the nature and type of the extracted foreign bodies were identified and documented using a standardized pro forma. Results: The mean age of the patients was 5.63 ± 3.097, ranging from 1 to 11 years. Regarding the gender distribution, 105 (62.5%) were male, and 63 (37.5%) were female. When considering the types of foreign bodies, 129 (76.8%) presented with coins, 12 (7.1%) with metallic objects, 7 (4.2%) with battery cells, and 9 (5.4%) with fruit seeds. Additionally, there were a few cases of chicken bones, fish bones, and safety pins, accounting for 9 (5.4%) in the category of other foreign bodies. Conclusion: This study underscores the frequent occurrence of esophageal foreign body ingestion in young children, particularly males under the age of 5, with coins identified as the predominant culprits.","PeriodicalId":22991,"journal":{"name":"The professional medical journal","volume":"207 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141013424","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}

Methods: FD diagnosis was established in view of ROME-IV criteria. Sleep quality was evaluated using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index PSQI scoring tool. A global score of 5 or more indicates poor sleep quality. Binary logistic regression was applied and odds ratio with 95% confidence level were figured out to assess relationship of patients' profile with FD. Results: In a total of 240 patients, the mean age was 37.3±6.5 years. There were 122 (50.8%) male patients. The most common dyspeptic feature was postprandial fullness (60.4%) followed by early satiety epigastric pain (50%) and epigastric burning (39.6%). Mean PSQI score was 14.7±3.5. Frequency of poor sleep quality among FD patients was 79.2%. None of the parameter was significantly associated with sleep quality except urban residence (p=0.005).

Methods: We enrolled children of either gender, aged above 1 month up to 16 years and presenting with acute respiratory insufficiency due to lower respiratory tract infections. The use of HFNC was monitored for 72-hours. HFNC failure was characterized by requiring either noninvasive mechanical ventilation or invasive mechanical ventilation due to an unstable state.

The most common diagnosis at the time of admission were pneumonia, and bronchiolitis noted in 25 (40.3%), and 33 (53.2%) children, respectively. Gradual improvement in ROX index was observed among children with HFNC success while a declining ROX index predicted HFNC failure. Outcome of HFNC was successful in 45 (72.6%) children. Mortality was observed in 12 (19.4%) children. Presence of comorbidity was significantly associated with unsuccessful HFNC outcomes.

Methods: Subjects of the study were victims of unnatural death in areas covered by Police stations where the postmortem was performed in the Mortuary of Punjab Medical College / Faisalabad Medical University. Data was collected from respective official Police records, FIRs and Postmortem reports and recorded on pre-structured proformas.

Study Design: Observational Cross-sectional Analysis. Setting: Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar. Period: 2nd February 2020, to 5th February 2021. Methods: The study involved a total of 165 patients, in 37 to 40-weeks of gestation period, the research included antenatal women with a low amniotic fluid index, with any parity, gravidity, and 18-35 years of age. While Excluded patients with any medical disorders during pregnancy (e.g., PIH, anemia, cardiac disease etc.), and those with gestational period <37 weeks from the study. Thorough history, clinical examination and ultrasound were carried out of all the women included in the study from OPD and emergency department, to confirm a low amniotic fluid index. Patient follow-up was extended to their arrival in the Obstetric suite during established labor, APGAR scores were calculated and recorded at birth, and at the 5-minute of birth for the neonate. Adverse Perinatal Outcome was considered positive if the APGAR Score was <7/10 at five minutes of life of neonate. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 23. Results: Out of 165 patients 57% of the patients were induced while 43% spontaneously delivered, similarly 66.7% were delivered vaginally while 33.3% were delivered via C Section. Low neonatal APGAR score was recorded in 67.9% patients which is a significant percentage, hence our study results showed positive correlation of low AFI with adverse perinatal outcome. We also observed that probability of satisfactory values of AFI is 1.5 times more in spontaneous deliveries (p=0.04, OR=1.5), however no such relation exists for period of gestation or number of parity. Similarly, there is a significant relation of mode of delivery with satisfactory values of AFI (p=0.00), however no such relation exists for period of gestation or number of parity. However, the probability of vaginal deliveries is 1.6 times more with an increased in number of para (p=0.02, OR=1.6).
