Material and Methods: Total 250 blood culture bottles were collected from patients clinically suspected enteric fever and loaded to BACTEC 9050. Out of them 200 signalled positive samples were inoculated on chocolate and Mac Conkey agar plates and incubated overnight at 370 C in the incubator and identified by colony characteristics, procedures like Gram staining, wet preparation for motility and bio-chemical reactions like oxidase test, catalase test, triple sugar iron agar, Citrate test, using Salmonella antisera like Poly O, O-9, and H-d. The clinical isolates were subjected to antibiotic sensitivity test on Mueller-Hinton agar, using modified Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method as per Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Results: Total 61 Salmonella were isolated. 49 were Salmonella typhi and 12 were Salmonella paratyphi. Overall rate of resistance of 49 S. typhi isolates was 2 % to ampicillin, 4 % to Azithromycin, 4 % to fluoroquinolones and 2 % to co-trimoxazole. S. paratyphi isolates were 100% sensitive to ampicillin, co-trimoxazole, chloramphenicol and 3rd generation cephalosporins. Conclusion: Enteric fever is one such infection which poses challenges in antimicrobial resistance. Continuous surveillance is important to track bacterial resistance and to treat infections in a cost-effective manner.","PeriodicalId":430295,"journal":{"name":"BJKines National Journal of Basic & Applied Sciences","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134544108","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}

Materials and Methods: A total of 23 patients with recurrent pneumothorax (15) and recurrent pleural effusion (8) were enrolled. Pleurodesis with either talc or povidone iodine was performed via intercostal drainage tube. Treatment outcome along with complications was studied by routine follow up of patients for 6 months. Results: A total of 23 patients (19 males and 4 females) were included in the study. 16 patients were subjected to povidone iodine pleurodesis while 7 patients underwent talc pleurodesis. Mean age of patients was 38.68+19.6 for the povidone iodine group and 43.85+16.32 for the talc group. Eight (34.78%) patients had recurrent pleural effusion whereas 15 (65.21%) patients had recurrent pneumothorax.

Materials such as autologous cartilage (tragal or conchal) or allograft (homograft) of the same tissue and synthetic materials like polyethylene TORP, ceramic and hydroxyapatite PORP or Titanium prosthesis have been used. But the latter synthetic materials are expensive and have high extrusion rates. Autologous cartilage grafts are selected for Ossiculoplasty as they are easy to harvest at the same site of operation, non-toxic, has less extrusion rate, minimum shrinkage and lateralization. Aims and Objective: The aim of this study is to know the efficacy of autologous graft and prosthesis in ossicular reconstruction and to evaluate hearing outcome along with extrusion rate among them. Methodology: It is a prospective study done on patients attending ENT outpatient department in civil hospital Ahmedabad affiliated to BJ medical college Ahmedabad. 60 patients were included in the study who underwent ossicular reconstruction either with canal wall up or down mastoidectomy with tympanoplasty. Conclusion: On follow up of 60 patients over six month we followed there is significant air bone gap reduction with prosthesis but there is risk of extrusion which cancel out beneficial effect of prosthesis. Whereas cartilage and incus remodelling give good result in air bone reduction and better take up compare to prosthesis with less extrusion rate. Also, autologous grafting in ossicular chain reconstruction is economical in developing countries like India with disease prevalent among low socioeconomic group.\u0000Keywords: PORP/TORP, Ossicular chain reconstruction, incus remodelling, CSOM, Mastoidectomy","PeriodicalId":430295,"journal":{"name":"BJKines National Journal of Basic & Applied Sciences","volume":"28 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121000367","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}

According to earlier studies serum folic acid and vitamin B12 were found to be reduced in such patients. Therefore, the present study was conducted to estimate and compare the serum folic acid and vitamin B12 values of diabetic mellitus patients with and without nephropathy. Materials and methods: A single institution based cross sectional study was conducted in Kolkata from March 2018 to September 2019.203 adult with at least five years history of type 2 diabetes mellitus were subdivided into two groups’ nephropathy and non-nephropathy. The cut off value for inclusion into nephropathy group was urinary albumin-creatinine ratio of more than equal to 30gm/dl. Serum folic acid and vitamin B12 values of both groups were estimated by Chemiluminescence assay and later statistically compared for result. Result: Overall 127 patients were grouped in non-nephropathy while rest 76 belonged to nephropathy. Both folic acid (4.68±3.64 versus 7.02±3.89; p<0.0001) and Vitamin B 12 (219.54±56.53 versus 343.98±32.1; p<0.0001) values were found to significantly lower in the nephropathy group. Non-nephropathy patients also displayed better glycemic profile in terms of HbA1c.Conclusion: Patients with diabetic nephropathy displayed lower levels of serum folic acid as well as vitamin B12 in comparison to the patients who did not develop nephropathy.
