Background: The outcome and complication rates of post-operative cases are largely dependent on different factors. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the risk factors responsible for major postoperative complications after thyroid surgery. Methodology: This was a prospective cohort study which was carried out at the Department of Surgery, Bangabandhu Shiekh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Adult patients undergoing elective surgery for various thyroid disorders were selected as study population. This study was carried out from March 2009 to June 2011 for a period of two years. The study was included patients of various thyroid disorders that required surgical intervention of different magnitude. They were evaluated by history, physical examination, biochemical tests, ultrasound scan and FNAC where indicated. Histopathology was done and patients were followed up for subsequent outcome. Results: Among 2(2%) of them developed reactionary haemorrhage. The most common immediate surgical complication following thyroidectomy is hypocalcaemia and 12 patients (12%) experiencing this problem. 11(11%) patients developed transient tetany (hypocalcaemia) on 2nd post-operative day which was improved later on and 1(1%) patient developed permanent hypoparathyroidism and the patient supplemented by vitamin-D more than 6 months follow-up . In this study the mortality rate is 0% and complication rate is acceptable in comparison to other study. Conclusion: Hypoparathyroidism is a relatively common complication after thyroid surgery.

Background: Measurement of increased gallbladder volume is necessary for the detection of pathology of gallbladder. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to find out the difference between ultrasonographically measured gall bladder volume in fasting and post prandial states of type II diabetic patients and non-diabetic control subjects. Methodology: This cross-sectional study, carried out department of Radiology and Imaging at Bangladesh Institute of Research and Rehabilitation in Diabetes, Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders (BIRDEM) Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from June 2013 to July 2014. The type II diabetic patients were selected as group A and the healthy individual with age and sex matched were selected as group B. An ultrasonographic evaluation of fasting gallbladder volume and 2 hours after meal was done in all the subjects using a 3.5 MHz transducer. Information was recorded in preformed data collection sheet. Results: There was statistically significant (p<0.001) difference of mean fasting gall bladder volume between diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. The mean postprandial gall bladder volume of type II diabetic patients was significantly higher than that of the non-diabetic controls. By using Karl-Pearson coefficients of correlation it was found that gallbladder enlargement in type II diabetics, was significantly correlated with body mass index (p= 0.05) and systolic blood pressure (p= 0.05). Conclusions: Cholecystomegaly is found in type II diabetics in the present study to a significant degree which is also significantly correlated with body mass index and systolic blood pressure.

Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical decortication (VATS Decortication) is one of the technique for treating empyema thoracis. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to assess radiologic and functional short-term outcomes of VATS decortication in comparison with open decortication among empyema thoracis patients. Methodology: This comparative type of observational study was done at Department of Thoracic Surgery at National Institute of Diseases of Chest and Hospital (NIDCH), Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2018 to June 2019 for a period of one year. Patients with empyema thoracis in stage II or III were included. Short-term outcomes were measured according to collection of chest drain tube in post-operative observational days (PODs), post-operative lung expansion, time taken for chest drain tube removal, postoperative hospital stay and post-operative pain (numeric rating scale) observations up to discharge from hospital. Result: A total number of 70 patients were recruited. The mean age was 36.20 ± 12.50 years. In post-operative phase apical chest drain tube collection followed by VATS procedure was found significantly lower than that of open decortication (2nd POD: p= 0.04; 3rd POD: p =0.039). Both the apical (p=0.001) and basal (p=0.039) chest drain tubes were removed earlier in patients with VATS decortication. Again, patients with VATS decortication had to stay less days in post-operative time (p=0.01). The mean post-operative pain scores was significantly higher among the patients underwent open decortication (p<0.001). Conclusion: VATS decortication has shown better outcome in terms of collection of chest drain tube in post- operative days, time taken for chest drain tube removal, post-operative hospital stay and post-operative pain in managing patients with empyema thoracis.

Background: The diagnosis of chikungunya is confusing due to similar clinical presentations of different viral illnesses. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of an antibody-based test for the diagnosis of chikungunya infection Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Internal Medicine, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka, from July to September 2017 when an outbreak of chikungunya occurred in Bangladesh. Chikungunya patients were evaluated by the IgM antibody test by immunochromatographic method (ICT) during both the early phase and the convalescent-phase. The sensitivity and specificity of the IgM antibody test were estimated considering the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method as the gold standard. Result: The sensitivity and specificity of the IgM antibody test in the acute phase were 2.7 percent and 79.5 percent, respectively. In contrast, in the convalescence phase, sensitivity and specificity were 86.5 percent and 33.3 percent. Conclusion: Antibody-based testing was found not suitable for detecting chikungunya infection during the acute phase of the illness. Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research 2020;7(2): 68-72

Background: Initial level of haemoglobin and CRP level is important issue among the different type of heart failure patients for their in-hospital outcomes. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to see the relationship of haemoglobin (Hb) and CRP level with different types of heart failure patients. Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Cardiology at Mymensingh Medical College, Mymensingh, Bangladesh from December 2010 to November 2011 for a period of two (2) years. Patients of ACS who were presented within 12 hours of chest pain were included as study population. Study population were categorized in four groups according to the level of hemoglobin and C-reactive protein. Blood sample was collected for baseline laboratory investigations like Troponin-I, random blood sugar (RBS), blood urea, serum creatinine, lipid profile, Hemoglobin and CRP level. Sample were then send to standard laboratory/Biochemistry department of MMCH. Result: The mean age of the population was 52.18±8.88 years. Statistically non-significant mean age difference among the groups. Significant difference of mean left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction was found among the groups (p=0.005). Maximum patient in group 1 (48.5%) had ejection fraction in the range of 40 to 50%, compare to group 2(32.0%), group 3 (11.1%) and group 4 (5.8%). The heart failure was statistically significant in Killip class I (p=0.000) and Killip class II (p=0.000). Conclusion: In conclusion haemoglobin and CRP level of acute coronary syndrome patients is statistically significantly associated with different types of heart failure Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research 2019;6(2):101-105

Background: Serum albumin level is very important during the pregnancy for the good outcome of delivery. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to see the association of serum albumin level in predicting of preeclampsia among the pregnant women. Methodology: This descriptive cohort study was conducted in the OPD of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi, Bangladesh from January 2013 to December 2014 for a period of two (2) years. This study was carried on pregnant woman attending in outdoor department of Gynaecology, Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi, Bangladesh before 20 weeks of pregnancy who were healthy normotensive primigravidae with singleton pregnancy. Healthy normotensive primigravidae with singleton pregnancy were enrolled in this study before 20th weeks and were followed up after 28th weeks of pregnancy. The data of serum albumin in gm/dL before 20th weeks and after 28th weeks of pregnancy were collected. Result: A total number of 75 pregnant women were finally included in this study. PE was identified in 12(16%) women out of 75 patients on the basis of one or more following parameters. Mean serum albumin in 1st visit was 3.84±0.41 gm/dL. No association was found between development of preeclampsia and levels of serum albumin in early trimester of pregnancy (p=0.960). Conclusion: In conclusion serum albumin level is not a predictor of development of preeclampsia among the pregnant women in early stage.
