The places of the study were the Neurosurgery department of Sylhet M A G Osmani Medical College Hospital, Sylhet Women’s Medical College Hospital (SWMCH) and King Faisal Hospital (KFH), Taif, KSA. The Sample size was 104. The study period was 3 years (July 2021 to December 2022). On the basis of radiological findings, the participants were divided into three groups or arms. The different arms were diffused traumatic brain injury (arm-1), focal traumatic brain injury (arm-2) and both (diffused and traumatic) types traumatic brain injury (arm-3).\u0000\u0000Results: Mean age was significantly higher in female (51.83%).

One hundred diagnosed cases of chronic dacryocystitis undergoing DCR operation were selected and lacrimal sac swabs were collected from each of them. Isolation and identification of bacteria and their antibiotic sensitivity tests were done by standard procedures in the microbiology laboratory of the college. MDR bacteria were detected according to CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and ECDC (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control) guidelines.\u0000\u0000Results: Of the 100 swabs, 73% were culture-positive and, of them, 72.59% were gram-positive and the rest were gram-negative.

The true incidence of newborn seizures is difficult to ascertain since clinical detection of neonatal seizures is challenging. Growing research suggests that newborn seizures impair neurodevelopmental outcome and may increase the risk of cognitive, behavioral, or epileptic consequences in adulthood.\u0000\u0000Methodology: The Neonatal unit of the Paediatrics Department at the Jalalabad Ragib-Rabeya Medical College Hospital in Sylhet served as the site of this cross-sectional study. This study was conducted between July 2013 and December 2013. There were 100 newborns who had seizures participated in the study. After written consent, a thorough history was taken and complete physical examinations were done. Every seizure episode that was reported by the mother and later examined by the resident doctors documented clinically.\u0000\u0000Results: Most neonates (74%) who experienced seizures were between 1 and 3 days old, and most of them were male children (63%). 40% of newborns cried right away, whereas 60% of them had a history of delayed crying. During the first three days of life, 83% of infants experienced seizures. More than half (57%) of newborns required resuscitation, and 100% of them had weak reflexes.
