Background: Epistaxis is a common otolaryngological emergency worldwide affecting up to 60% of the population in their lifetime. This study was conducted to describe the etiological profile and treatment outcome of epistaxis at Dhaka Medical College Hospital, a tertiary care hospital in BANGLADESH. Objective: The study is carried out with an objective to evaluate on etiological profile and management of epistaxis. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted among the emergency and admitted patient with epistaxis at Dhaka Medical College Hospital from 1 November 2013 to 30 April 2014. Results: During the period under study, a total 104 patients were studied. The etiology of the cause of epistaxis was grouped into traumatic and nontraumatic. Among them 46 (44.23%) patient were in traumatic epistaxis and 58 (55.77%) patient were in non traumatic epistaxis. Male were affected more frequently than female in this study. There were 74 (71.15%) male and 30 (28.85%) females with a male female ratio of 2.47:1 Majority of the patients in this study were in 2 decade (21.15%) followed by 6 decade (19.23%) and 3 decade (17.31%). Among the 104 patients with epistaxis 78 (75%) were urban habitat and 26 (25%) were rural habitat. Significantly more patients were from urban resident. Regarding etiology and sex distribution there were no significant differences between urban and rural habitat. The present study shows that the most common cause of epistaxis was trauma (44.23%) followed by idiopathic (25%) and hypertension (17.31%).

Mob:+88-01718033316, E-mail: irashedul2532@gmail.com Introduction: Epistaxis, active bleeding from the nose, is a common ear, nose and throat emergency and can be severe or even fatal. The causes can be from local or systemic illness. Epistaxis is classified as anterior or posterior on the basis of the primary bleeding site. Haemorrhage is most commonly anterior, originating from the nasal septum. A common source of anterior epistaxis is the kiesselbach’s plexus, an anastomotic network of vessels on the anterior portion of the nasal septum. Epistaxis occurs in up to 60% of general population at some point in their life time. About 6% of these people will seek medical attention. Usually it is spontaneous and stops by itse
背景:鼻出血是一种常见的耳鼻喉科急症，影响全球60%的人口。本研究是在孟加拉国三级医院达卡医学院医院进行的，目的是描述鼻出血的病因和治疗结果。目的:探讨鼻出血的病因及治疗方法。方法:对2013年11月1日至2014年4月30日在达卡医学院附属医院急诊和住院的鼻出血患者进行横断面研究。结果:在研究期间，共研究了104例患者。鼻出血的病因分为外伤性和非外伤性。其中外伤性鼻出血46例(44.23%)，非外伤性鼻出血58例(55.77%)。在这项研究中，男性比女性更容易受到影响。男性74例(71.15%)，女性30例(28.85%)，男女比例为2.47:1本组患者以20岁(21.15%)为主，其次为60岁(19.23%)和30岁(17.31%)。104例鼻出血患者中有78例(75%)生活在城市，26例(25%)生活在农村。明显更多的患者来自城市居民。在病原学和性别分布方面，城乡生境间无显著差异。本研究显示，出血最常见的原因是外伤(44.23%)，其次是特发性(25%)和高血压(17.31%)。局部疼痛(41.31%)，鼻塞(13.04%)，1名医生，达卡Tejgaon国家耳鼻喉科研究所，2名医生，达卡BSMMU耳鼻喉科和头颈外科，3名住院外科医生，耳鼻喉科和头颈外科，达卡DMCH, 4名助理注册主任，达卡DMCH，耳鼻喉科和头颈外科，5名国家眼科和医院研究所，助理教授(耳鼻喉科)，达卡DGHS耳鼻喉科教授兼医学教育与卫生人力发展主任。达卡DMCH耳鼻喉科和头颈外科教授兼前主任。通讯地址:达卡特吉冈国立耳鼻喉科研究所医官Rashedul Islam医生。简介:鼻出血是一种常见的耳、鼻、喉急症，病情严重甚至致命。病因可由局部或全身性疾病引起。鼻出血根据原发出血部位分为前出血和后出血。出血最常见的是前侧，起源于鼻中隔。鼻衄的一个常见来源是鼻中隔前段的血管吻合网——基塞尔巴赫神经丛。高达60%的普通人群在其一生中的某个时间点发生鼻出血。其中约6%的人会寻求医疗救助。通常它是自发的，可以自行停止，或者可以用家庭疗法来控制。然而，有时它可能是巨大的，可能是致命的。鼻出血的病因分为局部原因和全身原因。局部原因:炎症感染性(鼻炎、鼻窦炎)、创伤性(指、骨折、鼻手术)、解剖性(鼻中隔偏曲和穿孔)、异物、化学或气候因素、鼻肿瘤(鼻咽血管纤维瘤、鼻息肉病、内翻性乳头状瘤、癌)。全身性原因:与高血压最常相关的临床因素有:血液紊乱、药物(乙酰水杨酸、抗凝剂、非激素抗炎药、抗生素)、肿瘤等。重要的是找到出血部位并确定其病因(局部或全身)，以确定最佳治疗的指征。严重的鼻出血，相关的主要因素，如全身性动脉高血压和凝血功能障碍可能需要手术的情况下，保守治疗难治性，如烧灼和鼻夹板。外伤性鼻出血在年轻人(35岁以下)中更为常见，最常见的原因是指外伤、面部损伤或鼻腔异物。非外伤性鼻出血以鼻畸形多见(17.39%)，其他损伤多见(13.04%)。58例(55.77%)非创伤性患者血压明显升高(收缩期血压160 mm Hg，舒张期血压100 mm Hg)。两组患者鼻出血的严重程度均为轻至重度。创伤性鼻出血组多见前出血(69.57%)，非创伤性鼻出血组多见后出血(46.55%)。约27.59%的患者因弥漫性出血而未检出确切部位。鼻中隔出血42例(40.38%)，鼻侧壁出血32例(30.76%)，鼻底出血23例(22.15%)。11例(10例)可直接止血。 57%)患者。86例(82.69%)患者行前鼻填塞，3例(2.89%)患者行后鼻填塞。结论:青壮年发病率高，男性多于女性。不同类型鼻出血的发生与患者的年龄、性别、居住地等人口统计学因素密切相关。本研究支持保守治疗鼻出血的可信性。简单鼻腔填塞是常用的保守方法，成功率高。因此，这种方法应该是首选的选择在鼻出血的管理，特别是在发展中国家。

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is in Pandemic form and has affected people of 215 countries. It produces symptoms like fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, headache, loss of taste, smell or appetite and many other rare symptoms. But the most important symptom is shortness of breath due to hypoxia. In a normal individual oxygen saturation (SpO2) is at least 95% and patient feels shortness of breath when SpO2 falls below 90% with some exception. SARS-CoV-2, a newly emergent coronavirus has the peculiarity to produce silent hypoxia, meaning SpO2< 90% or less like 80%, 70%, 60% without shortness of breath. Silent hypoxia can be diagnosed by monitoring SpO2 with pulse oximeter. For management of COVID-19, early symptoms like fever & cough, SpO2 should be monitored by pulse oximeter, followed by immediate correction of hypoxia by O2 supplementation and prophylactic oral or injectable anticoagulant to prevent thromboembolism and thus death rate can be reduced. Case summary: A 72-year-old man presented with the complaints of fever and headache followed by cough, fatigue, anorexia, loss of taste and appetite in next few days but no shortness of breath. The patient was clinically diagnosed as a case of COVID-19 & positive result of Real time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test confirmed the diagnosis. From the first day, SpO2 was regularly monitored with pulse oximeter and SpO2 on day 1, it was 96-98%. On day 8, SpO2 fell to 89-93%, pulse 96/min, respiratory rate>30/min, temperature 101o F, taste sensation was reduced. According to sign and symptoms, the patient was diagnosed as COVID-19 with severe pneumonia. Management was started at home with continuous monitoring, lying in prone position for 5-6 hours/day, supplemental oxygenation to maintain level of SpO2 between 94-96%, injectable anticoagulant enoxaparin to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) was given. Prophylactic antibiotics and symptomatic treatment were also given. Results: According to this case report, patient’s SpO2 was monitored by pulse oximeter on first day; on day 08, SpO2 fell to 89-93% & on day 10, further dropped to 85-88% which indicated severe pneumonia but there was no complaint of breathlessness as it was silent hypoxia. Sometimes the patient spent 30 minutes or more in toilet and SpO2 used to fall to 82-83% without any subjective shortness of breath but with only mild heaviness of chest and cough. Therefore SpO2 monitoring by pulse oximeter is essential in early diagnosis of silent hypoxia. Correction of hypoxia by supplemental oxygenation and prevention of VTE and DIC by using anticoagulant was the mainstay of treatment and patient had significant improvement on day 14. The patient was managed completely at home except X-ray being done in a hospital. Conclusion: Fall of SpO2 in COVID-19 i.e. hypoxia (usually present as short

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate hearing outcome after stapedotomy in patients with Otosclerosis . Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out from July 2017 to January 2019 in National Institute of ENT, Unit V. About 22 patients with Otosclerosis were included in this study. Diagnosis of Otosclerosis was based on the history, medical status with Otoscopy, Tuning fork tests and Audiometric tests. We compiled data on the pre and post operative air-bone gap (ABG) at 0.5, 1, 2 KHZ. The ABG was Calculated using AC and BC thresholds on the same audiogram. Post operative hearing gain was then Calculated from the ABG before the operation minus the ABG of the last follow up examination . Results: In this study most of the cases were age group 14-30 years (72.7%), female (54.5%). Most common symptoms was progressive hearing loss, tinnitus (77.8%).The average preoperative hearing loss in this study was (AC) was 48.31±7.68. The average post opt. hearing (AC) at follow up was 28.95±10.30 with an average hearing gain of 15.40±8.53 dB which was significant. The average pre-operative ABG was 28.99 dB ± 8.10. The average post opt. ABG was analyzed at 1 follow up showed ABG 13.18±8.09 dB which was found to be significant. Conclusion: Stapedotomy is an effective surgical procedure for the treatment of otosclerosis which leads to improvement in patient’s quality of life. A favorable hearing outcome can be obtained by the combination of experienced hands with minimal surgical trauma and appropriate surgical technique. Key wards: Otosclerosis, hearing outcome, stapes surgery.

Introduction: Loss of balance causes the sensation of vertigo. Balance is maintained by vestibular afferent from labyrinth, eyes and proprioceptors and their central integration. For diagnosis of vertigo, along with history different vestibulometric tests can be done to identify the specific anatomical part that is involved. Material and methods: A cross sectional study was done among 82 patients who did video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) and among 75 patients who did Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potential (VEMP) test at AudiovestibularCentre(AVC) at Bangladesh ENT Hospital Ltd. during the period from April 2018 to September 2019. Results: Age range of the sample was 16 to 80 years. Among the 82 patients who did vHIT 62(75.6%) had abnormality in either Semi Circular Canal. Among 75 patients who did VEMP 27(36%) were detected to have abnormality in either in saccule or utricle. Conclusion: For diagnosis of cause of vertigo the appropriate test for individual part of vestibule is essential. vHIT and VEMP are two tests which are complementary to each other in explaining common peripheral causes of vertigo.

White papilloma are rare lesions that may occur at any site of mucosalined respiratory tract especially in vocal cords. Morphologically it appears villas looking, clinically & microscopically benign in most cases. We report a 70 years old male patient with white papilloma near anterior commissure involving both vocal cords found during indirect laryngoscopy. The lesion was completely resected with a unipolar coagulation device under direct laryngoscopy. Histopathological examination showed papilloma of vocal cords associated with Human papilloma virus(HPV) wart. To our knowledge this is the second reported case concomitant white papilloma with concomitant HPV in the vocal cords.

Sleep medicine is a medical superspeciality devoted to the diagnosis and therapy of sleep disturbance and disorders. From the middle of 20 century research has provided increasing knowledge and answered many questions about sleep awake functioning. Disorders and disturbances of sleep are widespread and can have significant consequences for affected individuals as well as economic and other consequences for the society. sleep deprivation has also been a significant factor in dramatic accidents. The first sleep clinic in United states were established in 1970s.

Aim: The aim of the study is to observe the result of thyroidectomy without keeping drain tube. Methods: This is a prospective study of a series of patients who underwent thyroidectomy without drain from January 2017 to December 2019. Presence of any post-operative complications like hematoma, seromas and hemorrhage were recorded. Results: Among 105 patients included in this study only one patient had post-operative hematoma. There was neither hemorrhage nor seroma in other any patients. Proper hemostasis was maintained during surgery of all these cases. Their post-operative recovery was good. Conclusion: Drainage is may not be required after thyroidectomy if proper and adequate hemostasis is ensured.

The larynx is the most common site for primary tumour of the head and neck region. It represents world wide approximately 1-2% of all cancers. A cross sectional study of 154 cases of laryngeal carcinoma was carried out in the in-patient department of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University and Dhaka Medical College during the period of two years with an aim to find out the frequency of site and subsite involvement of carcinoma of the larynx. The age range is 33-80 years and the over all male to female ratio is 29.8:1. Smoking and chewing habit are the most important associated factors. Majority of growths are found to be exophytic and most of the patients present at advanced stage. The commonest site of laryngeal carcinoma is supraglottic region and occurrence of supraglottic carcinoma than glottic carcinoma is statistically highly significant.
