Stroke, usually a focal rather than global neurological deficit resulting from vascular origin with sudden onset, may be with cerebral infarction or intracerebral haemorrhage. It results in brain oedema following vascular injury and electrolyte imbalance. A descriptive cross sectional study was carried out in the Department of Medicine, Mymensingh Medical College Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh during March 2016 to May 2018 to assess the electrolyte levels among 220 purposively selected patients with stroke confirmed by CT scan. Data were collected by the principal investigator himself by using interview schedule and case record form after attaining consent. Blood samples were collected from the patients to carry out biochemical and haematological tests and to assess serum electrolyte levels. Data were cross-checked for completeness, consistency and relevancy, and were analyzed by computer software SPSS 20.0. Age was significantly higher in haemorrhagic stroke (64.88±13.00 years) than ischaemic stroke (60.92±13.96 years). Male (55.91%) were predominant than female (44.09%). One hundred nineteen (54.09%) patients had ischaemic stroke and 101(45.91%) patients had haemorrhagic stroke. The serum concentration of Na+, K+, Cl- and HCO₃- were measured during acute period of stroke. Imbalance in serum Sodium, Chloride, Potassium and Bicarbonate level were observed in 37.27%, 29.55%, 23.18% and 6.36% patients respectively. Hyponatremia, hypokalemia, hypochloremia and acidosis were most common electrolyte imbalance in both ischaemic and haemorrhagic strokes. In ischaemic stroke hyponatremia was 35.29%, hypernatremia was 3.36%, hypokalemia 19.33%, hyperkalemia 0.84%, hypochloraemia 30.25%, hyperchloraemia 3.36%, acidosis was in 6.72% and alkalosdis in 1.68% patients while in haemorrhagic stroke hyponatremia 33.66%, hypernatremia 1.98%, hypokalaemia 22.77% hyperkalemia 3.96%, hypochloremia 19.80%, hyperchloraemia 4.95%, acidosis 2.97% and alkalosis was in 0.99% of patients. Mortality was more in hyponatremic, hypokalemic and in hypochloremic patients.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogenous respiratory disease characterized by a progressive, not fully reversible airflow limitation associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lung to noxious stimuli. It is a disease presenting with pulmonary inflammation as well as a systemic one. Measurement of inflammatory marker is difficult but platelet count estimation is easy and less costly. This descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out at Department of Medicine, Mymensingh Medical college Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh for a period of twelve months among fifty-nine COPD patients. Data were collected through interview, physical examination and laboratory investigations. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 22.0 for consistency and completeness. Age range of the patients was 40 to 49 years with a mean of 56.3±10.9 years. Age group 40-49 years contained the highest number (19; 32.3%) of patients. Majority 57(96.6%) of the respondents were male. Thirty seven (62.7%) of patients were illiterate. Majority 56(94.9%) of patients resided in rural area, of them most 38(64.4%) were farmers. According to Spirometric measurement among 59 respondents of COPD patient, 3(5.1%) were in GOLD stage-I, 9(15.3%) in GOLD stage-II, 27(45.8%) in GOLD stage-III and 20(33.9%) in GOLD stage IV group. Mean platelet count (10³/μl), 241.6±86.5 was found in mild, whereas 315.0±47.7 in moderate, 337.2±76.3 in severe, and 412.4±67.5 in very severe group of COPD patients. So increase in platelet count is statistically significant in severity of COPD. In conclusion, platelet count measurement is less costly to categorize COPD and may be a diagnostic marker.

... COPD severity. 24 Platelets were implicated in the development and exacerbation of COPD through multiple mechanisms, including destruction of lung elasticity by secreting platelet factor 4, and induction of a pro-thrombotic state and pulmonary vascular remodeling. 25 Consequently, a significantly elevated platelet count has also been associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality, and antiplatelet therapy with aspirin may improve COPD symptoms and quality of life. ...
