The patient may present with hematemesis or melena. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding in children can result in complex and perhaps fatal clinical circumstances. It fluctuates significantly depending on changes in the patient’s demographics and other diseases. Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted at the Department of Paediatrics, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka. The study was conducted during the period of Jan’2020 to July 2022. The total number of study patients was 92. Result: The most extensive prevalence of UGIB is found in children aged 5 to 10 years (71.4%), followed by those aged 1 to 12 years (26.8%). Varices accounted for 67 (72.8%) of the UGIB causes, followed by erosive gastritis (6.5%), stomach ulcers (3.3%), esophagitis (2.2%), and Mallory Weiss tears (1.1%), with 13 (14.1%) of them being judged to be normal. Pallor was the most common presenting symptom, making up 82 (89.1%), then hematemesis 61(66.3%) and melena 30.4%, splenomegaly 55(59.8%), hematemesis plus melena (30.4%), hepatomegaly (28.3%), jaundice (15.6%), and melena (3.3%). Conclusion: Hematemesis is the most common presenting symptom of upper GI haemorrhage, which is more common in kids between the ages of 5 and 10. Esophageal varices were the most common source of intestinal bleeding.\u0000J Dhaka Med Coll. 2022; 31(2) : 215-219","PeriodicalId":320976,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dhaka Medical College","volume":"94 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141664225","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}

But delayed presentation due to the embarrassing nature of the injury makes surgical outcome worse. Objectives: This study was conducted to compare results of early and delayed surgical interventions of patients presenting with penile fracture. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the department of Urology, in Dhaka Medical College of hospital, Bangladesh from 30th July 2018 to 30th January 2020. Twenty- Seven (27) patients with penile fracture were enrolled in this study. They were diagnosed on the basis of history and clinical findings. They were divided into two groups; early presenter (15 patients) who came within 24 hours and delayed presenter (12 patients) who came after 24 hours. Among the early presenters, 13 patients had unilateral corporeal injury and 2 patients had bilateral corporeal injury. On the other hand, in delayed presenters, 11 patients had unilateral corporeal injury and 1 patient had bilateral corporeal injury. Surgical repair was done in all patients. Results: Patient age range was between 15 to 60 years. The commonest presenting complaints were cracking sound 26 out of 27 (96.30%), penile swelling 24 out of 27 (88.88%), pain 22 out of 27(81.48%) and detumusence during sexual intercourse or an erection 17 out of 27(62.96%), urethra bleeding 3 out 27(11.1%). Among different causes, vigorous intercourse where female on top (62.9%) was the commonest followed by bending during erection (18.5%), masturbation (11.1%) And rolling over bed (7.4%). Out of 15 patients in early group, patients presented with urethral injury. The complications in delayed repair group were, plaque formation 3 out of 15 (20%); penile shaft deformity 2(13.3%); erectile dysfunction 1(6.6%) and skin necrosis 2 (13.3%). But in early repair group only one patient developed skin necrosis which was managed conservatively. Conclusion: Fracture of the penis is a surgical emergency. Immediate surgical repair gives excellent results even in the presence of urethral injury. Early diagnosis by history and clinical examination and timely surgical intervention is essential for better outcome with minimal longterm complications.\u0000J Dhaka Med Coll. 2022; 31(2) : 210-214","PeriodicalId":320976,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dhaka Medical College","volume":"104 28","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141666404","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}

Poorly controlled diabetes or hyperglycaemia is associated with an array of micro-vascular, macro-vascular, and neuropathic complications. There is a widely held belief that infections are usually more frequent and severe in diabetic patients. Diabetes prevalence is increasing in the developed & developing countries, and the appropriate management of patients with diabetes has become increasingly important for the prevention of hospital-acquired infections. Postoperative wound infection continues to be a major source of morbidity and mortality in developing countries despite recent advances in aseptic techniques. There is little information regarding postoperative wound infection in controlled diabetic patients undergoing elective operation. Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate the postoperative wound infection in controlled diabetic and non-diabetic patients in elective operations. Materials & method: This cross sectional comparative study was conducted in Department of Surgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, during the period of October 2011 to March 2012. A total seventy three patients with controlled diabetics and seventy three non-diabetics were selected. Inclusion criteria were patients undergoing clean and cleancontaminated elective operations. Un-controlled diabetes, patient undergoing contaminated and dirty operation, patient with tuberculosis, jaundice, uraemia, having cortico-steroids /chemoradiation and operated for malignancies were excluded. After preoperative preparation specific operation was done. All patients were followed up for 30 days of post operative period for development of any postoperative wound infection. All information recorded in data collection sheet. Data was processed and analysed with the help of computer program SPSS-16 and Microsoft excel. Quantitative data expressed as mean and standard deviation and qualitative data as frequency and percentage. Result: The patients of diabetic group [31 male, 42 female; mean age, 44.5 (SD 8.2) years] and non-diabetic group [40 male, 33 female; mean age, 43.1 (SD 9.4) years] were similar in age and sex (p>0.05 each). The rate of postoperative wound infection after elective abdominal surgery was 7.5% [in controlled diabetic group was 12.3% and that of non-diabetic group was 2.7% (p<0.05)] and the patients of diabetic group were 5.0 times more likely to develop wound infection as compared to that of non-diabetic group (OR=4.992; 95% of CI=1.040–23.971) in clean and clean contaminated elective abdominal surgery. The length of postoperative hospital stay was significantly more in diabetic group than that of non-diabetic group (8.2 (SD ± 2.9) vs 6.8 (SD ± 3.2) days; p<0.01).

Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional observational study at BSMMU, Dhaka, from April 2018 to March 2019. Our goal was to evaluate the quality of life in knee OA patients in Bangladesh using Short Form-36 (SF-36) Health Survey and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) Index. We collected data through face-to-face interviews, adhering to specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Most participants were within the 40-59 year age group, with 65.2% of patients reporting a disease duration of 1-5 years. The mean WOMAC scores differed significantly by age (p=0.001), with older patients having higher scores. Gender and monthly income did not significantly impact WOMAC scores (p>0.05). Educational status showed potential significance (p=0.074), but it did not reach statistical significance. There was a strong statistical association between total WOMAC scores and patient age (p=0.001). However, other socio-demographic factors showed no significant differences (p>0.05). Patients with shorter OA knee durations (less than one year) had notably lower WOMAC scores than those with longer durations (1-5 years), with a significant difference (F=16.513, p<0.001). In terms of OA knee grading, patients with more severe OA (grade III) had significantly higher WOMAC scores than those with less severe OA (grade I or II) (F=190.077, p<0.001). Gender, educational status, and monthly income significantly influenced SF-36 scores in knee OA patients. Male patients and those with higher educational levels reported higher SF-36 scores. Monthly income also had a significant effect (F=6.101, p=0.004), with higher income linked to higher SF-36 scores. Age did not significantly impact SF-36 scores (F=0.492, p=0.614). Body mass index (BMI) did not significantly affect health-related quality of life in OA knee patients. The elderly with more advanced and prolonged disease had lower quality of life according to WOMAC. Conclusion: It can be concluded that patients with OA knee had relatively poor quality of life in physical health component than that of mental health component and role physical domain was mostly affected among all domains.\u0000J Dhaka Med Coll. 2022; 31(2) : 201-209","PeriodicalId":320976,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dhaka Medical College","volume":"65 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141663381","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}
