This study aims to assess sleep quality, its functional outcome, excessive daytime sleepiness and incidence of obstructive sleep apnea between shift and non-shift workers. \u0000Methods: The study candidates were randomly drawn Nepalese, from age 18 years and older, and were enrolled between January 2018 to January 2019. The subjects were divided into either: Shift work or Non-Shift work. The assessment measures were done with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), STOP-BANG and FOSQ-10 (Functional Outcome of Sleep Quality – 10), using a standard form. \u0000Results: A total of 358 participants were included in the main study (176 Non-shift workers, and 182 Shift-workers). The mean BMI among the two group were not significantly different (p =0.43). There was significant difference with 25% Non-Shift workers and 41.21% of Shift workers were found to have Abnormal Sleepiness in the Epworth Sleepiness Scale score (p=0.004). Shift workers showed comparatively higher values for Epworth Sleepiness scale compared to Non-Shift workers in Mann-Whitney analysis, with mean rank 194.11 versus 164.39, respectively, p=0.006. Similarly, 26.29% Non-Shift workers and 36.72% Shift workers were found to have abnormal FOSQ-10 scores, χ2 (1) =4.44, p=0.035. 7.95% of Non-Shift workers and 6.59% of Shift-workers were found to have high risk of OSA in STOP BANG questionnaire, with no significant association, p=0.725. \u0000Conclusions: Shift work caused excessive daytime sleepiness and had worse functional outcome but did not increase probability of obstructive sleep apnea.","PeriodicalId":374721,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Internal Medicine","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116983401","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}

Eendoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) has been the commonly used endoscopic procedure for duodenal carcinoid tumors, but the conventional EMR done to resect duodenal NET s is likely to have positive vertical margins. However, the ligation assisted EMR has recently been shown to be a promising technique for the treatment of duodenal NET that can have a negative free margin. In our study, we present a patient of 51-year-old male, who presented with pain over epigastrium and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a small submucosal lesion of 10 mm in the duodenal bulb. The endoscopic ultrasound showed the lesion arising from the echo layer three. The biopsy was taken which showed the duodenal NET. The computed tomography of abdomen did not show any evidence of distant metastasis. The EMR of duodenal NET was done by band ligation technique. The biopsy from the resected duodenal lesion confirmed the duodenal NET with the margin free of the tumor. The patient was followed at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. During the follow up visits, the repeat upper gastrointestinal endoscopy did not show recurrence of the lesion and there was no any evidence of distant metastasis either. Ligation assisted EMR is an acceptable treatment in the hands of expert for small duodenal NET without the evidence of metastasis and can ensure the complete removal of the lesion with vertical free margin.","PeriodicalId":374721,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Internal Medicine","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116036173","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}

There is paucity of data on prevalence and pattern of various types of kidney diseases in Nepalese population. We describe various types of kidney diseases in patient population undergoing kidney biopsy at our centre. \u0000Methods: This is a prospective analysis of all patients, who underwent percutaneous renal biopsy at Manipal teaching hospital, over a duration of 30 months, i.e. August 2017 to January 2019. All kinds of kidney disease patients were included for kidney biopsy, irrespective of their clinical syndromes and underlying diagnosis. \u0000Results: A total of 175 consecutive biopsies were analyzed. The mean age of the patient was 35 } 15 years. Majority of the biopsy performed were in females. The majority of biopsy cases were age between 21-30 years of age. The youngest case to undergo renal biopsy was a child with asymptomatic isolated hematuria. The most frequent histological pattern observed in our study was IgA nephropathy (34.6%), followed by Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (15.45%) and Membranous nephropathy (14.85%). Regarding complication macroscopic hematuria was seen in 15 (8.5%) cases and 8 (4.5%) cases had perinephric hematoma. There was no death related to renal biopsy. \u0000Conclusion: IgA nephropathy was the commonest histological pattern. Subnephrotic proteinuria was the commonest indication for biopsy. Complication of kidney biopsy is rare and considered safe procedure in clinical practice to determine diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.

While occupationally exposed cases among health care workers are the major target of PEP, it is equally applicable to non occupational exposure to HIV including sexually exposed cases. This study was carried out to know the current scenario of PEP for HIV in terms of various determinants/ risk factors and outcomes of HIV positivity after prophylaxis. \u0000Methods: A prospective study was carried out by Antiretroviral therapy center of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. The study period was between August 2006 and September 2016. Altogether 50 cases exposed to known HIV seropositive persons were included in this study. \u0000Results: The majority of the occupationally exposures were interns (48.6%), followed by staff nurse (18.9%), CMLT student (13.5%), hospital staff (10.8%) and resident doctor (8.1%). Majority (70.3%) were exposed to needle prick injury. Six-month follow-up showed zero seroconversion for HIV ELISA among the exposed cases. \u0000Conclusion: Intern constituted the greater proportion of health care workers exposed to accidental needle stick injury.

This retrospective study was conducted to study the clinic-epidemiologic profile of chronic pancreatitis in eastern Nepal. \u0000Methods: All adult patients admitted with chronic pancreatitis from June 2014 to June 2016 were included in this study. Data pertaining to demographics and clinical profile was obtained by retrospective chart review. \u0000Results: A total of (n=55) patients were enrolled in the study with a median age of 28 years. Idiopathic pancreatitis was the most common form of chronic pancreatitis (n= 37, 67.3%) and alcoholic chronic pancreatitis accounted for about a third of cases (n=18, 32.7%). Abdominal pain was a presenting symptom in all the cases (n=55,100%). Thirty-seven patients (67.3%) had diabetes mellitus. Ductal dilatation (n=55,100%) and calculi (n=43, 83.6%) were the most common findings on imaging using ultrasonography and Computed tomographic scan of abdomen). All the patients were receiving medical therapy. Most patients receiving medical therapy were on opioids (n=37, 67.3%) or pancreatic supplements (n=18, 32.7%). Complications were seen in only nine patients (16.4%). All of them had pseudocyst. \u0000Conclusions: In this study, idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (CP) was observed as the most common etiologic form of CP unlike CP related to alcohol use in other similar studies. CP related to alcohol use was seen as the second most common etiologic form. Diabetes was the most commonly associated comorbidity in our CP cohort. This study was performed in a small study population and is limited by several factors including statistical power. Larger studies are warranted to study the etiologic forms and outcomes of CP in Nepalese population.","PeriodicalId":374721,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advances in Internal Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130502327","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}
