INTRODUCTION : The ingestion of corrosive agents is still an important public health issue in our country. The GIT injuries caused by caustic agents can range from minor to fatal, or can lead to chronic disease with poor quality of life. Corrosive agents with a pH level less than two or more than twelve can rapidly penetrate the layers of the oesophagus and result in necrosis and scar formation in the mucosa. Acidic agents produce coagulation necrosis and eschar formation that may limit tissue penetration and may even spare the oesophagus when the transit is rapid. On the other hand, Alkaline agents when ingested produce liquefaction necrosis and can cause serious oesophageal injury by penetrating to deep muscle layers. The basic histopathologic reaction of tissue subjected to caustic burn is the synthesis, deposition and remodelling of collagen. Following full-thickness injuries to the oesophageal wall, the normal oesophagus is replaced by dense connective tissue. Collagen overproduction has been estimated to cause stenosis in half of the patients suffering severe burns. Consequently, when treating caustic burn injuries, it is necessary to prevent stenosis by inhibiting collagen synthesis or changing the properties of the deposited collagen. The optimal management protocol in the treatment of severe caustic injury remains controversial. The main goal of medical treatment is to inhibit inflammatory reaction or stricture formation secondary to oesophageal burning. Stricture formation is thought to be overcome by suppressing fibroplasia and scarring. Many agents directed at wound healing and stricture prevention have been used in several experimental studies in past. Results of such treatment protocols including steroids, antibiotics, heparin, indomethacin, sucralfate, vitamin E, as well as total parenteral nutrition are all controversial in treatment of corrosive burns. Randomised control trials on the role of proton pump inhibitors in caustic injuries of GIT are lacking. A few experimental studies have investigated the relationship between proton pump inhibitors and corrosive burns and has shown that proton pump inhibitors can reduce inflammation in early phase of caustic injury. Proton pump inhibitors, by decreasing gastric acid secretion and thereby GER can prevent worsening of corrosive injury. In addition proton pump inhibitors has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. A prospective study from turkey on 13 patients have showed that omeprazole can be used effectively in treatment of acute corrosive injury of esophagus. There are no studies from India which have attempted to assess the usefulness of proton pump inhibitors in treatment of acute corrosive injury of esophagus. This prompted us to study the usefulness of pantoprazole in the treatment of patients presenting with acute corrosive injury of the oesophagus.

The aim of this study was to estimate the point prevalence of Rifampicin resistant Mycobacteria causing tuberculosis of lymph node as detected by cartridge based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT) and analyzed using logistic regression mathematical modeling. An observational cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology from July 2019 to February 2020 in a tertiary healthcare setting. Rifampicin resistant Mycobacteria were identified; data tabulated and analyzed to find the point prevalence of Rifampicin resistant tuberculosis. A total of 37 patients who presented to the OPD were included in the study. Confirmation of the tuberculosis was done either by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) or by direct biopsy. Demographic characteristics of the patients were analyzed. A logical regression mathematical model of Rifampicin resistance in the district was created. Correlation matrix was calculated using Jamovi software. of Rifampicin resistance was dependent variable in logistic regression modeling. Levels VA and VB, posterior triangle group lymph nodes were most commonly involved. It was found that there is high prevalence 89.189% (p<0.01) of Rifampicin resistant Mycobacteria. Rifampicin resistance a 2.9672 greater odds per stage higher chance p=0.0291) treatment failure as compared to Rifampicin sensitive patients. Females have higher risk of harbouring Rifampicin Resistant Mycobacteria than males.
