    Abstract: Background: PPH is a single largest and leading cause of maternal mortality & severe morbidity in developing countries. A drug is needed which should be effective, cheap, safe, does not need refrigeration and that can be easily administered by untrained person. Misoprostol is the drug that fulfills these requirements. So this study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of Misoprostol in prophylaxis & management of PPH. Materials and methods: This observational study was carried out in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Bangabandhu Memorial Hospital, Chattogram, during the period January to June, 2013. Total 168 pregnant women who were at term and expected to have a vaginal delivery were taken for this study. Results: The median length of the 3rd stage of labour was 8.8 minutes. 11 women (6.54%) required a manual removal of the placenta and 23 patients (13.69%) needed further therapeutic oxytocin to control bleeding. In 145 cases (86.30%) additional oxytocic was not required, about 93.45% cases placenta was expelled out easily by active management of 3rd stage. There was a drop in Hb and haematocrit concentration after delivery, which was statistically significant. An upward trend was ( 〉 0.11°F) noticed regarding temperature after delivery. Conclusion: Misoprostol is effective for prevention and management of postpartum haemorrhage, & can consider as a good alternative to other conventional oxytocic drugs. JCMCTA 2019 ; 30 (1) : 47-50

    Abstract: Background: Gestational age supports predicting a potential due date, informing obstetrical care and testing, and assessing the baby’s health at birth. It is vital to obtain a gestational age in all pregnancies to offer regular care and medical management for both mother and fetus. The ultimate suitable techniques for calculating gestational age are ultrasonography. The study aims to investigate the perinatal outcome according to gestational age. Material Methods: A Prospective cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics Gynecology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Hospital, from January 2008 to June 2008. A total of 50 patients were enrolled in this study following the inclusive criteria. Data were collected using the predesigned semi-structured questionnaire. Verbal consent was taken before recruiting the study population. Completed data forms were reviewed, edited, and processed for computer data entry. Results: Among the study population (N=50), one-fifth of the mothers’ (10,20.0%) age was under twenty. The majority of mothers were (34,68.0%) between 20-30 years old with a mean age of 25.4 ± 4.32 years. Twenty-three patients (23,46.0%) came at 40+ weeks of pregnancy, eighteen patients came at (18,36,0%) on 41 weeks of pregnancy and nine patients (9,18.0%) came at41+ weeks of pregnancy. There was no perineal tear and two patients (2,4.0%) had cervical tears which were repaired. In two patients (2,4.0%) there was postpartum haemorrhage, among them two patients (2,4.0%) needed a blood transfusion. Among the healthy babies, the majority of the babies (20,40.0%) were born at 40 completed weeks of gestation, eighteen babies (18,36.0%) at 41 completed weeks and two babies (2,4.0%) were born at 42 completed weeks of gestation. Conclusion: Many childhood and adult diseases are linked with size at birth and are mostly inclined by early postnatal growth is widely accepted. The evolving fetus formulates itself for post-partum life by reporting to metabolic signals in its uterine environment.

    Abstract: Background: Shiveringis a common complication following anesthesia. Many drugs have been documented as a prophylaxis of postanesthesia shivering. The aim of this study was to find out a better drug as an antishivering agent. Materials and methods: This comparative study was carried out in the Department of Anesthesiology in Chittagong Medical College Hospital over a period of 6 months starting from November 2015 to April 2016. A total 90 obstetric patients with American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) physical status I & II underwent cesarean section received placebo (Group-C, n-30), Inj-Ondansetron 8mg (Group-O, n-30) and Inj-Meperidine 0.4mg/kg (Group-M, n-30). These drugs were administered during intraoperative period just after cord clamp. Incidence of shivering, hemodynamic parameters were observed immediate after spinal anesthesia & then 5 min interval for 30 min throughout the intraoperative period. Results: Shivering was observed in 16 patients (53.33%) of group-C, 4 patients (13.33%) of group O and 8 patients (26.66%) of group M. The number of patient with a shivering grade 3 & 4 were very highly significant (p 〈 0.001) in group C compared with other groups at 15 min & 20 min after block & significant (p 〈 0.05) at 25 min & 30 min after block. Conclusion: Ondansetron was found to be more effective and haemodynamically stable drug than Meperidine in prophylaxis of post spinal shivering. JCMCTA 2021 ; 32 (1) : 53-58

    Abstract: Introduction: Labor induction is the technique that excites childbirth and vaginal delivery. Inducing labour can be built with the pharmaceutical or non-pharmaceutical method. In low-income countries, the rates are generally minor. IOL is not risk-free, and many women find it painful. Aim of the Study: The study aims to investigate the indication of induction of labour. Methods: A Prospective cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Hospital, from January 2008 to June 2008. A total of 50 patients were enrolled in this study following the inclusive criteria. Data were collected using the predesigned semi-structured questionnaire. Verbal consent was taken before recruiting the study population. Completed data forms were reviewed, edited, and processed for computer data entry. Result: Among the study population (N=50), one-fifth of the mothers’ (10,20.0%) age was under twenty. The majority of mothers were (34,68.0%) between 20-30 years old with a mean age of 25.4 ± 4.32 years. In seventeen patients (17,34.0%) labour induction was given by oxytocin drip followed by ARM, in ten patients labour induction was given by ARM followed by oxytocin drip & in twenty-three patients (23,46.0%) with unfavourable cervix prostaglandin was used and then followed by oxytocin drip and ARM. The total number of induction failures (who needed a caesarian section) was twenty (20,40.0%). Among the total number of caesarian sections, eleven (11,55.0%) were done due to fetal distress, nine (9,45.0%) were done due to abnormal uterine action, one (1,5.0%) was done due to cervical dystocia. Conclusion: Labor induction should be applied to improve birth consequences and when the potential aids outweigh the potential dangers. Researches point out that inducing labour lessens the risk of having a stillbirth, macrosomia and developing high blood pressure as the pregnancy advances.

    Abstract: Introduction: Spontaneous onsets of labour within expected date of delivery not always occur. Some pregnancies cross the expected date of delivery, and need induction of labour. Induction of Labor means initiation of uterine contraction that can be done by pharmacological or non-pharmacological method. Induction of labor is not risk- free. The present study aimed to investigate initiation of uterine contractions beyond the expected date of delivery. Methods: This Prospective cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Hospital, from January 2008 to June 2008. A total of 50 patients were enrolled in this study following the inclusive criteria. Data were collected using the predesigned semi-structured questionnaire.

    Abstract: This cross-sectional, analytical type of study was performed in Department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College, Bangladesh, from July 2016 to June 2017 on 52 right hander male and 52 right hander female, 40 left hander male and 34 left hander female Bangladeshi medical students. Convenient purposive sampling technique was adopted. History of any injury of upper limb was excluded to construct standard measurement. Handedness of each medical student was determined by the Edinburgh handedness inventory. Hand breadth and hand length was measured with the help of vernier caliper. Paired and unpaired student‟s „t‟ test and Pearson‟s correlation coefficient test were done for statistical analyses. Handedness score showed nonsignificant positive correlation with right hand shape index (r = +0.087, P 〉 0.05) and left-hand shape index (r = +0.008, P 〉 0.05) in right hander males. Handedness score showed non-significant negative correlation with right hand shape index (r = -0.017, P 〉 0.05) and left-hand shape index (r = -0.003, P 〉 0.05) in right hander females. Handedness score showed non-significant negative correlation with right hand shape index (r= - 0.210, P 〉 0.05) and left-hand shape index (r = -0.247, P 〉 0.05) in left hander males. Handedness score showed non-significant positive correlation with right hand shape index (r= +0.051, P 〉 0.05) and left-hand shape index (r = +0.213, P 〉 0.05) in left hander females. To summarize, handedness score showed nonsignificant positive correlation with right hand shape index and left-hand shape index in right hander males and left hander females. However, handedness score showed non-significant negative correlation with right hand shape index and left-hand shape index in right hander females and left hander males.

    Abstract: Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection disproportionately affects African-Americans (AAs) and is a major contributor to liver failure and mortality. Genetic factors may not be the only cause in outcome disparity. We retrospectively investigated whether genetic host factors, viral genotypes, and treatment compliance in AA patients impacted the efficacy and the sustained virological response (SVR) rate of the interferon (IFN)-based treatment regimen. The medical chart review included 76 African-American patients (age ranging from 26 to 76) with varying levels of hepatitis condition. Fifty-seven (75%) of them had a clinically verifiable HCV infection and were followed by a hepatologist for 2 years at Howard University Hospital in Washington, DC. Both comprehensive metabolic profile and complete blood count analyses were performed. Among the 57 patients whose viral and IL28B genotypes were determined, sixty-eight percent (68%) were infected with viral genotype 1 and 71% harbored the CT allele of the IL28B gene. Among the 12 patients who completed treatment with IFN-based dual or triple therapy, 58% had achieved SVR 12 weeks following completion of treatment; 33% had a partial response with under 6000 viral count after 16 weeks of treatment; and there was one patient with viral genotype 1a and CT allele who did not respond to the medications. The results of this study prove that the PEG IFN-based regimen was effective in treating HCV-infected AA patients despite the current availability of new direct-acting antivirals. The major obstacles contributing to a low reduction in HCV infection and outcome in the AA community were avoidance or lack of treatment or compliance; contraindications, medication side effects, non-adherence, and payer eligibility restrictions.
