Failure to treat these ailments can result in complications and have a detrimental impact on an individual’s well-being. This study aimed to assess the frequency and nature of ENT problems within the purview of General Practice.\u0000Methods: This was retrospective observational study done in the OPD of Karnali Academy of Health Sciences, Jumla. The data was taken from 2020 January to 2021 January. Data was collected by reviewing the record file from data store of KAHS. Data entry was done in excel sheet followed by its descriptive analysis.\u0000Results: During the period of January 2020 to January 2021, a total of 1219 cases were attended to by General Practitioners (GPs). The majority of cases were observed in the 20-30 age. Chronic Otitis Media, Epistaxis, and Acute Tonsillitis were the most commonly observed ear, nose, and throat problems, accounting for 43.5%, 24.1%, and 36.7% of cases, respectively.\u0000Conclusions: Ear diseases are the most frequently occurring among ENT conditions, followed by throat and nose diseases. In rural parts of Nepal, GPs are capable of managing most common cases. However, for challenging cases, GPs can seek consultation with ENT consultants via telemedicine during their practice. While GPs can manage common ENT cases at hospitals, they require regular training in the diagnosis and treatment of ENT diseases.","PeriodicalId":265624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chitwan Medical College","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116288826","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}

Reduced muscle strength has been considered as one of the complication of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Handgrip strength is an important parameter to evaluate the power of the hand.

The study aimed to compare the hand grip strength between individuals with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus.\u0000Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in the Outpatient Department of Medicine, Kathmandu Medical College and Teaching Hospital. In total 200 subjects who met inclusion criteria participated in the study. Handgrip strength was measured with an isometric hand dynamometer and comparisons were made between diabetic and non-diabetic groups. Independent t-test were used to analyze the significance difference in hand grip strength between the two groups (p=0.05).\u0000Results: Total of 200 subjects (100 T2DM and 100 controls) were studied.

The objective of this study was to assess the morbidity pattern of the SGA neonates admitted in the neonatal intensive care unit.\u0000Methods: A hospital base cross-sectional study was carried out in 100 SGA neonates admitted in the neonatal care unit of College of Medical Sciences Teaching Hospital, Bharatpur, Nepal from May 2020 to April 2021 Small for gestational age neonates (SGA) was defined as birth weight <10th percentile for gestational age by Lubchenco’s growth chart. Infant characteristics and neonatal outcomes were assessed during the hospital stay and the data was entered in the SPSS v23.0. \u0000Results: Among the total 100 cases of SGA neonates, 66 % were male. The mean birth weight was 1900 ±SD 381gm (range 1000-2500 gm). Term SGA neonates accounted for 60% while preterm SGA neonates were 40%. Common morbidities seen in SGA neonates were sepsis (44%), hyperbilirubinemia (34%), perinatal depression/birth asphyxia (34%) and shock (22%). While comparing the morbidities between term and preterm neonates, a significant correlation was observed between hypothermia (p-value = 0.001), polycythemia (p-value = 0.001), NEC (p-value= 0.004) and perinatal depression/asphyxia (0.013) with the period of gestation. Mortality was observed in 8% due to various perinatal problems. \u0000Conclusions: From this study, we can conclude that SGA is associated with various morbidities, sepsis being the most common morbidity amongst perinatal asphyxia, hyperbilirubinemia, hypothermia and hypoglycemia.","PeriodicalId":265624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chitwan Medical College","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122466814","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}

Both procedures frequently take place on the same appointment. A rise in intraocular pressure brought on by either internal or external sources could change the recommended course of treatment. The management of patients, therefore, benefits from understanding intraocular pressure changes and their implications. The goal of this study was to determine how visual field testing affected intraocular pressure in glaucoma suspects and glaucoma patients.\u0000Methods: The study’s cross-sectional design was carried out from October 15, 2020, to September 15, 2021, in a tertiary eye care facility. Intraocular pressure was measured before and after the visual field test. Data entry, as well as data analysis, was done on IBM SPSS 20. For comparisons of the intraocular pressure, the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test was used. A P ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.\u0000Results: The Analysis of the data set showed no statistical significance difference between the intraocular pressures obtained before and after the test in each of the eyes and regarding the test duration\u0000Conclusions: Short-duration visual field testing did not significantly influence intraocular pressure, according to the study. This finding suggests that when clinically evaluating both the glaucoma patients and suspects, the visual field test may be done concurrently with the intraocular pressure measurement.","PeriodicalId":265624,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chitwan Medical College","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133499592","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}
