[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A record based descriptive type of study was carried out among the under-graduate students of Mymensingh Medical College from the session 1966-67 to 2006-07. The academic years were divided into four decades and admission was followed into three categories such as retained, cancellation and drop-out. Total number of the students was 5892. Among them 3848(65.30%) were male and 2044(34.69%) were female. Out of 5892 students drop-out was 282(4.78%) and admission cancel was 304(5.15%). It was also found that drop-out in male was 232(6.02%) and in female was 50(2.44%) and admission cancel in male was 266(5.87%) and in female was 78(3.81%). The difference was found statistically significant (p<0.001). It was observed that gradually the drop-out and admission cancel rate is decreasing from the very beginning to till now. It was also observed that all drop-out and admission cancellation were in first & second year students. There was no continuation of their class roll numbers in third year registration.Mymensingh Medical Journal 04/2011; 20(2):197-200. -
Article: Gestational anemia.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Gestational anemia is a common public health problem in our country. Most anemia during pregnancy results from an increased need for iron as her body is making more blood. Often dietary supplementation does not provide enough iron to meet the extra needs. Also the growing baby takes all the iron it needs from mother, regardless of how much iron is stored in mother's blood. Gestational Anemia contributed significantly to maternal morbidity and mortality, IUGR, preterm delivery and perinatal morbidity and mortality. A high proportion of women in both industrialized and developing countries become anemic during pregnancy. The most important cause of gestational anemia due to iron deficiency, because high iron requirements during pregnancy are not easily fulfilled by dietary intake. Adequate iron stores can help a pregnant women replace lost red blood cells. So, iron supplementation is strongly recommended for all pregnant women in developing countries. Oral iron intake is the treatment of choice and almost all pregnant women can be treated effectively with oral iron preparation during their pregnancy period.Mymensingh Medical Journal 07/2010; 19(3):462-8. -
Article: A neglected case of congenital pseudarthrosis of tibia.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) is a rare malformation. It was first described by Hatzoecher in 1708. Treatment options of the congenital pseudarthrosis of tibia are variable and challenging. Various forms of bone grafts such as autologous iliac bone graft or free vascularised fibular graft, bracing, electrical stimulation, external fixators including Ilizarov technique and internal fixation with rods and plates are used. Here we represent a case of congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) of a 15 year-old boy, a shopkeeper hailing from Barhatta, Netrokona and diagnosed by history, clinical examination and x-ray. He was treated by Ilizarov technique and follow up was done for a period of 1 year. Complete union was achieved with correction of angulation and shortening.Mymensingh Medical Journal 01/2010; 19(1):123-6. -
Article: Interlocking intramedullary nailing in fracture shaft of the femur.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This prospective study was done to evaluate the result of interlocking intramedullary nailing in fracture shaft of the femur under the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital during the period of January 2007 to December 2008. In this study total 66 patients were purposively selected for interlocking nailing initially but 6 patients did not report in subsequent follow up. So, the result of the study was based on 60 patients. There were 38 males and 22 females with the age range of 18 to 70 years, with an average age of 34 years. Motor vehicle accident was the most common cause of the fracture shaft of the femur (60%) and the second most common cause was fall from height (20%). Right sided involvement was more (66.67%). Majority of the patients had fracture lower third of the femur (70%). Among the patients farmer was the most common (33.33%) group and the next was housewife. The mean union time was 17 weeks with the range of 14 to 30 weeks. Postoperative complications were found, such as infection (3.33%) and nonunion (1.66%). The functional outcome of this study was evaluated by Klemm & Borner criteria. Excellent functional outcome was found in 80%, good in 15% and fair in 5%.Mymensingh Medical Journal 08/2009; 18(2):159-64. -
Article: Pott's disease in a young child.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A 16-month-old emaciated, immunized child presented with low-grade fever and progressive kyphosis with a right sided para-vertebral abscess for 9 months. During this period of illness the child had marked loss of appetite and progressive weight loss. There was history of contact with sputum smear positive father. A gibbus was present at thoraco-lumbar region with a cold abscess at the right side of the gibbus and signs of upper motor neuron lesion were found on lower limb examination. Diagnosis was supported by relevant investigations including MRI of dorsolumbar spine and treatment was started beforehand with anti-tubercular drugs. The paravertebral abscess was drained several times and antibiotics were used depending upon the results of microbiological study. At the same time the patient was advised to wear a modified chest brace for immobilization and the management for severe malnutrition was also started accordingly. There was significant clinical improvement observed within one month of starting treatment.Mymensingh Medical Journal 08/2008; 17(2):206-9. -
Article: Perosteal osteosarcoma of clavicle-treated by limb salvaging surgery (total cleidectomy).
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Osteosarcoma of clavicle is extremely rare. Improved survival in patients with osteosarcomas has been associated with recent advances in imaging techniques, histopathological methods, surgery and chemotherapy. In most cases the diagnosis can be made with confidence on the x-ray appearance. Other imaging studies like- radioisotope scans may show up-skip lesions, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) show the extend of the tumour. Incisional biopsy or excisional biopsy is carried out after careful clinical study and proper investigations. A 30 years old cultivator with a late case of primary osteosarcoma of clavicle was treated with pre-operative and post-operative chemotherapy and was managed with surgical excision of tumor with limb sparing. The patient was clinically disease free for about 08 (eight) months. Then the patient developed recurrences and died 11 (eleven) months after operation.Mymensingh Medical Journal 08/2007; 16(2):214-6. -
Article: Evaluation of 68 cases of chest injuries.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: During the period of January, 2003 to December 2004 a descriptive cross-sectional study was done to evaluate the variations in clinical pictures of chest injury, rural and urban distribution, weapons used commonly and finally the result of existing treatment facilities in a general surgical unit of a tertiary level hospital. Total number of patient was 68. All patients of chest injury with or without extra-thoracic other injuries admitted in this period was included non-randomly. Diagnosis was based on history, clinical examination and relevant investigation like radiography and ultrasonography. Penetrating injury predominates over blunt injury in this study. Associated extra thoracic injury was present in a good number of cases. Most of the weapons were made locally and were used in household purposes. Homicidal injury predominates over accidental and incidence is more in rural than in urban areas. Most of the cases were treated by general supportive measures with or without intercostal tube thoracostomy. The outcome of treatment was satisfactory. Only one patient developed empyema thoracis and two patients died.Mymensingh Medical Journal 08/2005; 14(2):169-74. -
Article: Post operative diagnosis of osteopetrosis.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Osteopetrosis is a rare hereditary disease that was first described by a German Albert Schonberg in 1904. At least five types of osteopetrosis have been described. Among them osteopetrosis congenita (autosomal recessive) and osteopetrosis tarda (autosomal dominant) are most common. Here we are reporting a case of osteopetrosis tarda, who is a female of fifty years of age presented with fracture femur. Preoperatively there was no suspicion of osteopetrosis. She was only suspected while introducing an IM Nail during her fracture reduction. Diagnosis of osteopetrosis was confirmed post operatively by histopathology of medullary cavity of her femur.Mymensingh Medical Journal 08/2004; 13(2):194-5. -
Article: Treatment of non union of humerus using G. A. Ilizarov technique.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The management of the non union of humerus is one of the most challenging problems that the surgeon confronts in his practice. The procedures traditionally used are: I.M. Nailing, interlocking, plating, transplantation of allograft. In our series, 36 cases with non union has been treated by G.A. Ilizarov technique. The age range were: 21-62 years with an average of 32 years. The initial treatment were done by DCP, rush nails & plates with screw fixation. The duration of treatment ranged from 5-11 months (average 8 months). With the application of Ilizarov fixator a good range of elbow & shoulder motion were achieved. The average follow up period was 5 years with a range of 1-8 years. Union was achieved in all the 36 cases.Mymensingh Medical Journal 01/2004; 13(1):36-8.
