Non-surgical alternative treatment options are considered in less severe cases to avoid the untoward effect of surgery. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Mometasone Furoate nasal spray combined with Montelukast Sodium in children with AH. \u0000 Materials and methods: This trial included 118 patients aged 3 to 13 years having symptomatic AH from the OPD of Otolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery of CMCH from May 2019 to April 2020. They were allocated to either Mometasone Furoate nasal spray combined with Montelukast Sodium (Group A: 59) or Mometasone Furoate nasal spray alone (Group B: 59) randomly for 8 weeks. Outcome measures were changes in the severity of symptoms and changes in the adenoid size from baseline. Out of 118 enrolled children, 109 children completed the study per protocol. \u0000Results: The mean total clinical symptom score before and after treatment in group A was respectively 10.04 (±1.78) and 4.92 (±1.65). In group B the corresponding figures were respectively 9.42 (±1.33) and 5.48 (±1.36). Clinical symptom scores as well as Adenoidalnasopharyngeal ratio dropped significantly in both groups without any statistical significance between two groups with 8 weeks of treatment. \u0000Conclusion: Mometasone Furoate nasal spray with and without oral Montelukast Sodium showed similar efficacy in symptom alleviation and adenoid size reduction without any superiority of combination therapy. \u0000JCMCTA 2021 ; 32 (2) : 59-63 ","PeriodicalId":93458,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chittagong Medical College Teachers' Association","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85309014","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}

Its pathophysiology is still an area of dilemma. Homocysteine is a sulfur containing amino acid, which damages smooth muscle of the vessel wall.

The study reviewed a total of 108 women with pregnancy. These participants were categorized into three groups: healthy pregnant subjects group, mild preeclampsia group and severe preeclampsia group. The three study groups were statistically similar in aspects of maternal age, gestational age and parity. \u0000Results: The mean serum homocysteine level was found 16.4±7.9 μmol/l in mild preeclampsia group, 20.8±8.0 μmol/l in severe preeclampsia group and 8.2±3.7 μmol/l in the group of normal pregnant women.

Significant positive correlation was found between systolic blood pressure (p=0.001) diastolic blood pressure (p=0.001) with serum homocysteine level. \u0000Conclusion: The study concluded that a significant positive association was found between pre-eclampsia and maternal serum homocysteine levels.

The aim of this study was to determine the advantages of short term catheterization in comparison to long term catheterization after vaginal hysterectomy due to uterovaginal prolapse. \u0000Materials and methods: This randomized clinical study was conducted for 1 year (July 2014- July 2015) in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) on 100 women with 20 utero vaginal prolapse underwent vaginal hysterectomy. After selection and randomization women who had under gone vaginal hysterectomy were grouped two. Urinary catheter was removed after 24 hours in group A and after 72 hours in group B. Observations were recorded and statistical analysis performed. \u0000Results: Study showed that duration of catheter did not affect the duration of first voiding time after removal of catheter (RR=.934). 6% of women in group A and 2% women in group B had residual volume of urine >200 ml but residual volume of urine was significantly higher in group B (RR=0.714). Re-catheterization needed 6% patients in group A and 2% in group B (RR= 3.000). Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) was significantly higher 14% versus 2% in group B than group A (RR= 0.143).

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a serum glycoprotein recognized as a marker for HCC, which is used to detect HCC. This study aimed to observe the level of AFP in the diagnosis of patients with HCC. \u0000Materials and methods: This cross sectional observational study has been carried out in the Department of Hepatology, Chattogram Medical College Hospital, Chattogram, Bangladesh, from January 2017 to December 2019. A total of 169 patients were enrolled in this research after consent. Patients were admitted to the hospital based on ultrasonographic findings and ultrasonographic guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) was done. 19 patients were lost from follow-up and 150 patients had completed the procedure and were finally evaluated. AFP was measured by automated Chemiluminescent immunoassays. \u0000Results: The age distribution of the study patients revealed that almost one-fourth (24%) of patients belonged to 51-60 years of age. The mean age was 55.6±16.64 years ranged from 25-80 years. The majority (90%) of patients were male and 15(10%) were female. It was observed that 64(42.7%) patients had HBsAg positive and almost onethird (29.3%) patients had Anti-HCV positive. Mean serum AFP was 8615.3 ±3629.3IU/ml and the range was 5.19-172000 IU/ml.AFP level was normal (<20 IU/ml) in 30 (20%) patients, moderately elevated (20-399 IU/ml) in 99(66%) patients and markedly elevated (>400 IU/ml) in 21 (14%) patients. Mean AFP was found 997.5±1813.8 IU/ml in multifocal HCC, 250.0±157.6 IU/ml in solitary HCC and 57455.7±82995.3 IU/ml in CLD with HCC. The mean AFP is statistically significant in different USG findings. \u0000Conclusions: Serum AFP level used alone is sufficient enough for HCC diagnosis majority of patients.

Poor growth and delayed maturation occurs in these patients commonly. This study was aimed to evaluate the physical growth in Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia (TDT). \u0000Materials and methods: This cross-sectional comparative study enrolled 60 diagnosed Children with Transfusion dependent Thalassemia over I year and carried out in Pediatric Hematology and Oncology unit and Hematology Department of Chittagong Medical College Hospital, Chattogram. Among them, 30 children received blood transfusion >12 times per year was considered as group I and rest 30 children received blood transfusion £12 times per year was considered as group II. Statistical analysis was done by using window based computer software devised with Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-22). \u0000Results: The mean serum ferritin was higher in group I than group II(1243.77±761.626 and 293.77±142.686 respectively). Almost two third (60.0%) patients were severely stunted in group I and 8(26.7%) in group II. 28(93.3%) patients had under weight (<-2SD) in group I and 18(60.0%) in group II. The difference were statistically significant between two groups. \u0000Conclusion: Growth retardation (Height for age) was significant with higher number of blood transfusion and higher serum ferritin level . \u0000JCMCTA 2021 ; 32 (1) : 89-95","PeriodicalId":93458,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chittagong Medical College Teachers' Association","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90807907","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}
