The first outbreak of Chikungunya was in a Swahili village of southern Tanzania in 1952. The name ‘Chikungunya’ derives from the African dialect Swahili or Kimakonde which means ‘to become contorted or bent over’. In Congo, it is referred to as ‘buka-buka’, which means ‘broken-broken’.

The changing antimicrobial sensitivity in UTI demands use of appropriate antibiotics. Objective: This study was conducted to determine the distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility of uropathogens. Materials and method: This was a prospective study conducted in Bangladesh Medical College & Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh between May 2016 and June 2017 to identify the organisms causing UTI and their antibiotic susceptibility. Clean catch midstream urine samples were collected from 95 patients presenting with symptoms of UTI. Antimicrobial susceptibility was performed by disc diffusion method. Results: Out of 95 urine samples, 56 (58.9%) were found positive. The prevalence was significantly higher in females than in males (females: 58.9%; males: 41%). Age group of >48 years showed higher prevalence of UTI. The most common organisms isolated were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Proteus and Staphylococcus aureus. These represented 44.6%, 21.4%, 14.3%, 12.5%, and 7.14% of isolates respectively. Imipenem and Meropenem were found the most susceptible drug against isolated uropathogens. Conclusion: Most powerful antibiotics in our study were imipenem and meropenem. In conclusion, one can truly affirm that the choice of drugs in the treatment of UTI is becoming quite narrow today due to the wide scale resistance that the common UTI pathogens show to drugs which have been used previously.

It is a form of violent asphyxial death. It produces painless death for the victims so that it is a widely practiced method of suicide. In Bangladesh hanging is one of the commonest methods of suicide. Objective: The objective of this study was to find out socio-demographic characteristics of victims, common ligature materials used by victims and post-mortem findings. Materials and method: A retrospective cross sectional study was done in Dhaka Medical College Mortuary during the period of January 2009 to January 2010. During this period data were collected from 2133 cases of medicolegal autopsies by purposive sampling. Results: A total of 2133 medicolegal autopsies were analyzed of which 78 (3.65%) were deaths due to hanging. Out of these 78 cases maximum 37 (47.44%) deaths due to hanging were in the age group of 21-30 years. Majority of the cases (48; 61.54%) were observed in females. Majority (32; 41.03%) of victims had used Dopatta (orna) as a ligature material. Cyanosis of fingertips and nail beds was the commonest (75; 96.15%) findings in cases of asphyxial death due to hanging. Conclusion: Suicidal hanging is observed in this study mostly within the young age group ranging from 21-30 yrs. So, awareness at the level of family and community should be raised to improve personal and social relation in every sphere. The factors provoking an individual for an attempt to suicide should also be investigated for its prevention. Delta Med Col J.

Objective: To assess whether a unilateral spinal anaesthesia using 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine will restrict the sympathetic block to avoid the undesired cardio vascular effects. Materials and method: In this prospective study 60 ASA Ill and IV patients aged between 60-90 years undergoing unilateral lower limb surgery were included. Patients were divided into two groups. In group-A, dural puncture was performed with the patient in the lateral decubitus position with 1.5 mL of hyperbaric bupivacaine. In group-B, it was performed with the patient in a seated position using 1.5 mL hyperbaric bupivacaine. Each patient was then placed in supine position. The speed of injection was 1 mL/30s. Patients were placed in the lateral position with operated side down and kept in this position for 10 minutes. Motor and sensory levels were assessed, and haemodynamic alterations were monitored just after block, 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes of spinal anaesthesia. Results: The demographic data were found similar in both groups. The time to the onset of the sensory and motor block was significantly shorter in group-B. The duration of motor and sensory block was significantly shorter in group-A. Haemodynamically all the parameters revealed better out come in unilateral spinal anesthesia. The incidence of complications (nausea, headache, and hypotension) was also lower in group A. Conclusion: When unilateral spinal anesthesia was performed using a low-dose, low-volume and low-flow injection technique, it provides adequate sensory-motor block and helps to achieve stable hemodynamic parameters during surgery on a lower limb. Furthermore, this technique avoids unnecessary paralysis on the non-operated side. Delta Med Col J.

So, care of critically ill pregnant patients is an important aspect of obstetric services delivered in a tertiary care hospital. Objective: This study was conducted to find out the proportion of obstetric patients treated in ICU over a period of one year, to ascertain the frequency of serious diseases, to identify the risk factors and to determine the maternal mortality of ICU treated patients with an aim to identify the importance of a separate ICU to be incorporated within the labor and delivery suites. Materials and method: This retrospective study was conducted in Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka, Bangladesh, during the period from January 2008 to December 2008. Total obstetric patients from all four maternity units admitted in ICU were 52 in number. Evaluation of the cases was done from records of obstetric patients treated in ICU. Necessary information was collected in a predesigned clinical sheet and the findings were compiled and necessary statistical analysis was done using SPSS. Results: ICU admission of obstetric patients in the year 2008 in DMCH was 0.82% of total deliveries and total obstetric population represented 14.3% of total ICU population. The main primary factors for ICU transfer were complications of eclampsia (59.6%) and obstetric haemorrhage (26.9%). The common final causes of ICU transfer were pulmonary oedema (35.5%) in eclamptic women and haemorrhagic shock (66.7%) in non eclamptic women. A total of 39 (75%) patients died in ICU. The major cause of death was pulmonary oedema (45.5%) in eclamptic patients and haemorrhagic shock (47.1%) in non eclamptic patients. Conclusion: Thorough evaluation of cases has revealed that many patients needed ICU treatment which could not be provided because of limited facilities. So, incorporation of a separate obstetric ICU in DMCH could be an important component of measures aimed to reduce maternal mortality rate (MMR). Delta Med Col J.

Regarding its treatment, a suitable drug is yet to be available which can permanently cure this disease. Over 400 traditional plants have been reported for the treatment of diabetes, but only a small number have received scientific and medical evaluation to assess their efficacy. Objective: The study was performed to compare the anti diabetic effect of Psidium guajava Linn leaves with an oral anti diabetic drug (Glibenclamide), in experimentally induced diabetic rats. Materials and method: The experiment was carried out in the department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics of Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2012 to June 2013. Twenty four healthy rats of Long Evans Norwegian strain were divided into 4 groups (group A, B, C and D) comprising 6 rats in each. Group A (normal control) received standard rat food for 14 days. Diabetes was induced by administration of Alloxan 120 mg/kg/body weight in group B, C and D. Group B (diabetic control group) was given standard rat food. Group C and D was treated with ethanol extract of Psidium guajava leaves 100 mg/kg body weight and Glibenclamide 1.5 mg/kg/day orally respectively. Total duration of the experiment was 15 days.
