Background: Granulomatous mastitis can be divided into idiopathic granulomatous mastitis and granulomatous mastitis occurring as a rare secondary complication of a great variety of other conditions such as tuberculosis and other infections, sarcoidosis and granulomatosis with polyangitis. Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is an uncommon benign chronic inflammatory disease which can clinically and radiographically mimic abscess or breast cancer. Definitive diagnosis was made by histopathology and exclusion of an identifying etiology. Optimal treatment has not been yet established. Objectives: The aim of this study was to report and describe the clinical signs, radiological findings, managements, clinical course, and clinical outcomes after treatment of IGM. Materials and Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study on 28 patients with chronic GM in Enam Medical College & Hospital collected in 1 year. The patient characteristics, clinical presentations, radiological findings, microbiological workups, tissue pathology, treatment modalities, outcomes were analyzed. We evaluated only the response of wide local excision and assess the recurrence up to 2 years after surgery on the treatment modalities to find out the proper treatments for chronic GM patient. Results: Twenty eight patients were diagnosed as chronic granulomatous mastitis. FNAC was conducted before excision. Twenty seven patients had chronic granulomatous mastitis and one patient had tuberculosis on histopathology. In the first setting, 28 patients were treated by surgery. Thirteen patients out of 28 had open wound after performing an excision in which healing by secondary intention was done. Ten patients had undergone primary closure and no complications. Conclusion: Chronic GM is an uncommon benign disease which is hardly distinguished from malignancy. There is not a significant difference among treatment modalities in term of time-to-healing and recurrence of disease. The result shows that surgery is outperformed by the shortest healing time. However, the surgical treatment must be chosen with careful due to high rate of wound complications. Multimodality treatment is recommended as the proper treatments for chronic GM patient.

Background: Overweight and obese individuals may have no cardiometabolic risk whereas normal weight individuals may present with cardiometabolic risk. The term‘Metabolic obesity’ has been floated to identify hidden metabolic risks irrespective of BMI. The pathophysiology of metabolic obesity can be explained by microvascular dysfunction and microalbuminuria is a wellknown marker of microvascular dysfunction. Objective: The objective of this study was to find out the association of microalbuminuria with metabolic obesity in Bangladeshi adult subjects. Materials and Methods: This cross- sectional analytical study included 200 individuals who attended outpatient department in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka from March 2018 to February 2019. The study subjects were divided into metabolically obese (metabolically unhealthy) group and metabolically non-obese (metabolically healthy) group by metabolic syndrome (MetS) criteria. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the South Asian Modified-National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP). Microalbuminuria was defined as a urinary albumin to creatinine of 30 to 300 mg/gm. Demographic profile, BP, height, weight, waist circumference etc. were measured and fasting blood glucose, serum triglyceride, serum HDL-C were estimated and albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) was calculated. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 22.0. Results: The frequencies of metabolically obese (metabolically unhealthy) group and metabolically non-obese (metabolically healthy) group were 128 (64%) and 72 (36%) respectively. Mean values for age (p value 0.001), body mass index (p value 0.027), waist circumference (p<0.001), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (p<0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (p<0.001), fasting blood glucose (p<0.001) and triglycerides (p<0.001) were significantly higher in the metabolically obese group compared to metabolically non-obese group. Among the study subjects, the prevalence of microalbuminuria was 32.5% and prevalence of microalbuminuria was found very high (38.3%) in metabolically obese group, whereas microalbuminuria in metabolically non-obese group was found 22.2%, which was statistically significant (p value 0.02). Our results showed that diastolic BP (p<0.001), systolic BP (p<0.001), fasting blood sugar (p<0.001) and triglyceride (p<0.008) were significantly correlated with microalbuminuria. In the logistic regression analysis, diastolic BP (p value 0.015) and FBS (p value 0.039) were significantly associated with microalbuminuria. After harmonization of statistical analysis, our study indicated that elevated blood pressure and fasting blood sugar had strong association with microalbuminuria and are likely to be critical components that lead a substantial number of subjects to the prestage of metabolic obesity in the Bangladeshi adult population. Conclusion: Our study concludes that the prevalence of microalbuminuria is significantly high in metabolic obes

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cancer in humans. Its mortality ranks third among human malignancies. Cirrhosis of liver is a major contributor to hepatocellular carcinoma, about in 80% of the affected individuals. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the liver which is a minimal invasive procedure is essential to sort out primary and secondary neoplasm of the liver. Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the accuracy of ultrasound for diagnosis of HCC in comparison with FNAC findings. Materials and Methods: This study was done in the Radiology & Imaging Department in Enam Medical College & Hospital, Savar, Dhaka in collaboration with the Department of Pathology of the same institution for FNAC correlation during October 2017 to November 2019. A total number of 50 patients with CLD with known hepatic mass, referred to the department were included in the study. Ultrasound was done with TOSHIBA using low frequency curvilinear probe of 3.5 MHz. USGguided aspirations was performed using 18G needle under full aseptic measure. USG findings were validated by histopathology reports. Analysis was done by SPSS 19.0. Results: Mean age of the study population was 58.6 ± 10.9 years, of whom 37(74%) were male and 13 (26%) were female. Mean size of the hepatic lesions was 4.7 ± 1.08 cm. The lesions were characterized as iso-, hypo- and hyperechoic as compared with hepatic parenchyma. Doppler study shows both central and peripheral vascularity. Compared with FNAC findings, accuracy of USG findings was determined. Sensitivity of USG in detection of HCC was 97.7%, specificity was 66.7%, and positive prediction value 95.6% and negative prediction value 80%. Conclusion: Conventional USG can be used as a screening method in patients with CLD having hepatic masses. However, further workup is required for definite diagnosis.

Background: CT-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a useful tool for evaluating lung nodules or masses. In view of the relative paucity of published studies regionally, this study was undertaken in the Department of Pathology, Enam Medical College & Hospital to see the use of the technique. Materials and Methods: Two forty six CT guided lung FNACs were performed during January 2017 to December 2018 and cytological diagnoses were made. Reported results and relevant data were recorded in the data sheet and then analyzed by standard statistical method. Results: Total number of cases were 246. Adequate samples were obtained in 228 (92.68%) cases, among the adequate samples 135 (59.41%) were malignant, and 93 (40.49%) were benign or nonmalignant lesions. Among the benign lesions, lung abscess (36;38.70%) was the most common followed by pulmonary TB (27;29.03%). Adenocarcinoma (54;40%) was the most common type of bronchogenic carcinoma followed by squamous cell carcinoma (51;37.78%), small cell carcinoma (21;15.56%), NHL (6;4.44%) and large cell undifferentiated carcinoma (3;2.22%). In male persons, squamous cell carcinoma (42.85%) was the most common type of bronchogenic carcinoma, followed by adenocarcinoma (34.29%). In female, adenocarcinoma was the most common type (18;60%) of bronchogenic carcinoma, followed by squamous cell carcinoma (6;20%). Conclusion: FNAC is a safe method for the evaluation of lung nodules and it enables sub-classification of bronchogenic carcinoma in the vast majority of cases. It is also useful for the diagnosis of tuberculous pulmonary nodules. J Enam Med Col 2020; 10(3): 169-173

Background: Common thought is that diabetic neuropathy is a predisposing factor to entrapment syndromes. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most frequent entrapment neuropathy. Objectives: To find out association of carpal tunnel syndrome with diabetic polyneuropathy. Materials and Methods: During the period of March 2013 to September 2015, this cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Neurology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka. A total of 100 adult patients having symptoms and signs of polyneuropathy were recruited as study population. Of them 50 patients grouped into diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) and the rest 50 patients in non-diabetic neuropathy due to other causes. Results: Out of all patients, the mean age was found 49.60 (13.53) years with 42% female in diabetic neuropathy patients and mean age was 44.64 (15.72) years with 46% female in non-diabetic neuropathy patients. The duration of diabetes was found 8.44 (7.79) years. According to development of Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), in diabetic neuropathy patients, about 58% patients developed CTS while in non-diabetic neuropathy patients, that of 14% (p=0.0001). We found diabetic neuropathy patients have 8.48 times higher possibility of development of CTS than non-diabetic neuropathy patients. On adjusted model, age as confounding variable, diabetic neuropathy and female sex were found significantly associated with development of CTS with adjusted odd ratio 10.92 and 3.78 respectfully (p<0.0001). Conclusion: In conclusion, we revealed the higher frequency of CTS in diabetics with DPN. As well we also found DPN and female sex were strongly associated with development of CTS. As DPN is a risk factor for CTS, priority should also be given to the treatment of DPN. J Enam Med Col 2021; 11(2): 78-85
