Abstract:

BACKGROUND Dysmenorrhoea is the most common gynaecological problem. Almost half of the female adolescents suffer from it resulting in a major cause of school / college absenteeism. We tried to find out the prevalence of dysmenorrhoea among female adolescents in a suburban population and investigate a potential association between the body mass index, dietary habits and behavioural factors and its correlation with absenteeism. METHODS A cross sectional study was done on 270 adolescent females attending outpatient department of a suburban medical college. We interviewed the selected adolescent girls using a pretested semi structured questionnaire after obtaining their or their parents consent. Statistical analysis was done using frequencies, percentages and chi square test with statistical software package SPSS version 20. RESULTS Total 270 unmarried adolescent girls were interviewed. Among them 51.1 % girls suffered from dysmenorrhoea. 58.7 % patients suffered from mild dysmenorrhoea whereas 27.5 % and 13.8 % suffered from moderate and severe dysmenorrhoea respectively. 59.02 % of girls with normal BMI and 54.55 % of obese girls suffered from dysmenorrhoea. Only 16 % patients with mild dysmenorrhoea were absent from their school or college whereas 63.1 % and 84.2 % of patients with moderate to severe dysmenorrhoea had school or college absenteeism respectively. 74.47 % of patients used to take self-medication. CONCLUSIONS Dysmenorrhoea was a significant cause of absenteeism and habit of self-medication was prevalent. Introduction of a school health program for menstrual health might improve the issues. KEY WORDS Menstruation, Dysmenorrhoea, Adolescents

Abstract:

Background: Learning is the act of acquiring, modifying and reinforcing existing knowledge, behavior, skills and values. This phenomenon of learning is dominated by an individual’s learning style. Learning style is a popular concept in psychology and education, and it refers to how a person learns best. This study aims to identify the Learning Styles of the first year MBBS and BDS students at NBMC by administering the questionnaire of the VARK model.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in the Department of Physiology at North Bengal Medical College, West Bengal after. The VARK questionnaire 7.8 version was administered to 180 first year MBBS and BDS students from the 2017-2018 batch who had volunteered for the study. The Questionnaire consisted of 16 questions, along with a scoring chart. Students were allowed to choose more than one option. If in majority of the questions they opted for a single sensory modality they were considered as unimodal learners and if they chose multiple options, they were recognized as multimodal learners.Results: The study showed 57% of the students to be multimodal learners and 43% to be unimodal learners. Read/Write was the most preferred (31.22%) sensory modality followed by kinesthetic mode (29.57%).Conclusions: As majority of our students are multimodal learners teachers should incorporate active teaching and learning strategies to cater to all types of learners. Also, as the most preferred method is Read/Write which includes googling and the use of internet to browse for information, we must try and incorporate e-learning into our curriculum.

Abstract:

Historical Perspective The first cadaver dissection in India in the 19th century after millennia of social prejudices took place in the recently established Calcutta Medical College in 1835, the first medical college in Asia imparting western medical education to British, Anglo Indians and Indians in the empire. The first scientific approach to medical sciences commenced following this landmark event and set the trend for future liberal attitudes in society and contributed to the Bengal Renaissance of the 19th century. This is a fictional account of the day when it happened. Only the characters and the fact that the dissection occurred are real.

Abstract:

AbstractTotal birth records for the Bengalee Muslim population (BMP) and the Bengalee Hindu caste population (BHCP) for the period 1980-1988 were 17,720 and 119,107 respectively. Of these, the number of twin pairs were 363 BMP and 1,229 BHCP. These data were obtained from the registers of the following hospitals: Islamia Hospital, NRS Medical College and Hospitals and RG Kar Medical College and Hospitals, Calcutta and Medinipore Sadar Hospital, West Bengal, India. The twinning rates found were 20.48 and 10.57 per thousand deliveries in the BMP and BHCP respectively. The proportion of twins, 0.02048, in the BMP was significantly higher (Z = 12.38, p ≤ 0.01) than that in the BHCP, 0.01057. This finding of a higher twinning rate in the BMP is corroborated by the fact that available data on the Muslim population of Srinagar in Kammu and Kashmir, and Lucknow and Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh show higher twinning rates than the other populations of India. This increased twinning rate may be due to the greater amount of inbreeding in the BMP.

Abstract:

Background: To study the prevalence of dry eye among the patients of pterygium and to find the clinical correlation between dry eye and pterygium.Methods: The study was conducted at postgraduate department of Ophthalmology of GMC Jammu over a period of one year. 90 pterygium patients and 180 age and sex matched controls presenting to the eye OPD of GMC Jammu were included in the study. The TBUT, Schirmer’s test, basal tear secretion and Rose Bengal staining score were estimated in all patients. A TBUT of less than 10 seconds, a Schirmer’s test of less than 10mm, basal tear secretion of less than 10mm, Rose Bengal staining score of more than 3 were considered abnormal.Results: Redness 57 (63.33%) was the most frequently occurring symptom in pterygium patients followed by cosmosis 49 (54.44%). The mean TBUT, mean Schirmer’s, mean basal secretion and mean Rose Bengal staining score values were 9.88±3.39 seconds, 13.17±4.57mm, 10.11±4.81mm and 3.27±1.85 in pterygium patients and 14.22±3.99 seconds, 16.40±5.21mm, 12.19±5.05mm and 2.49±1.86 in the control group respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the dry eye results between the pterygium patients and control groups (p<0.001). The odd’s ratio between dry eye and pterygium was 3.83, dry eye was present in 53 pterygium patients.Conclusions: The prevalence of dry eye in pterygium patients was 58.89% which suggests that there is a strong positive clinical correlation between dry eye and pterygium.

Abstract:

Background: Hospital costs are the largest component of health expenditure and they have therefore been a key focus in the drive for increased efficiency in the health sector.1With the simultaneous menace of ever increasing price rise and population explosion there is dearth of the existing meagre resources and thereby it becomes necessary to allocate and utilise the available resources to the fullest with provisions for minimum wastage. The objective of this study is to find out the pattern of diseases with their ICD-10 codes and the hospital performance indicators in patients admitted at the surgery ward of North Bengal Medical College during the study period.Methods: A descriptive epidemiological study with cross-sectional design was done by complete enumeration of all patients admitted in surgery ward of North Bengal Medical College and Hospital in Darjeeling district of West Bengal from July 2016 to September 2016.Results: A total of 2227 patients were admitted during the study period with intra-cerebral haemorrhage (I61) being the most common cause of admission followed by abdominal injury (S36) and burn (T29). The bed occupancy rate was 144.21%, bed turn-over rate 14.26 and average length 9.1. Scatter plot indicates hospital utilisation at Region IV as per Pabon Lasso Model of Hospital Utilisation.Conclusions: A high bed occupancy rate and low bed turn-over rate indicates scarcity of hospital beds, preponderance of severe and chronic cases and unnecessary stay in hospital.

Abstract:

Background: High risk pregnancies in intra-partum period are vulnerable, and if not appropriately attended, may roll on to maternal death or dreaded maternal near-miss cases. Despite the presence of a number of standard treatment guidelines designed to address most of the high risk conditions, their adherence and implementation continues to be uncommon. To assess the adherence to recommended guidelines during referral of high risk pregnancies in labour in mothers of the difficult terrains of eastern Himalaya.Methods: A descriptive epidemiological study with cross-sectional design was conducted among mothers with high risk pregnancies admitted in the labour ward, North Bengal Medical College Hospital, Darjeeling. 433 subjects were studied using complete enumeration technique.Results: Anaemia in pregnancy (22%), obstructed labour (19%), pre-term rupture of membranes (15%) and pregnancy induced hypertension (15%) were the high risk conditions identified. Referral linkage existed in most (70.7%) but no pre-referral treatment was given to 61.4% of the intra-partum mothers. Multivariate analysis shows mothers with age more than 35 years (AOR 4.97), bad obstetric history (AOR 2.40) & not attended by doctors (AOR 5.02) were found to be having more odds of missing the pre-referral treatment. About 86% of the gaps in pre-referral treatment were due to doctors not attending patients, lack of referral communication, not providing JSSK facilities and non-maintenance of Partograph as per Pareto analysis.Conclusions: Most of the non-adherence to standard treatment guidelines in high risk intra-partum mothers are related to health service delivery and can be ameliorated through proper administrative measures.

Abstract:

Background: Psychological stress, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbance are highly prevalent in medical students and therefore they are at higher risk of using sleeping pills defined as any pharmaceutical preparation inducing sleep. There is currently paucity in data describing the prevalence of sleeping pill use among medical students in India.Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of sleeping pill use among medical students in Burdwan Medical College (BMC).Methods: A cross sectional study was done by anonymous questionnaires from MBBS students enrolled at BMC. Questionnaire consisted of social and demographic variable and use of sleeping pills, tobacco and alcohol since enrollment. Collected data were analyzed by Athen's insomnia scale and DASS-21.Results: With response rate72.2% (397 out of 550) and of 397 respondants (1st yr-97+2nd yr-90+3rd yr part I-114+3rd yr part II-96), 6.3% reported use of sleeping pill at some time since enrollment. Athen's insomnia scales showed 27% poor sleepers. According to DASS-21, 44% respondents were depressive, 61.96% anxious, and 31.73% stressed. Insomnia were found to significantly (p value <0.0001) associated with sleeping pill use. Majority (96%) of sleeping pill uses were self-medicated.Conclusions: Tendency to use sleeping pill is very less (majority self-medicated), though a substantial proportion of medical undergraduate students were found to be depressed, anxious, stressed revealing a neglected area of students' psychology requiring urgent attention.

Abstract:

Introduction: Nursing is a philanthropic profession and has a rich historical background. Nursing is an integral component of the entire health care delivery system. The objective of nursing education is to foster high standards of nursing practice and advancement of the profession and the reciprocal objective of nursing is to establish, promote and implement nursing education. Materials and Methods: A comparative survey study was conducted to assess and compare assertiveness, self-esteem and leadership potentiality between 64 (sixty-four) 3rd year B.Sc. nursing students of College of Nursing, Medical College & Hospital, Kolkata; Government College of Nursing, S.S.K.M. Hospital, Kolkata and 60 (sixty) General college students of Brahmananda Keshab Chandra College, Bonhooghly, Kolkata, West Bengal. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was adopted. The tool consisted of socio-demographic profile, standardized tool for assessment of assertiveness and self-esteem and 30 item structured questionnaire for assessment of leadership potentiality. Result: The study findings reveal that assertiveness (mean difference =0.74), self-esteem (mean difference=3.47) and leadership potentiality (mean difference=7.19) among general college students are higher than those of nursing college students. The results also indicate that assertiveness is positively correlated with self-esteem [“t” df (58)=2.00; p<0.05] and leadership potentiality [“t” df (58)=2.00; p<0.05] among general college students. Conclusion: Investigator concludes that it is necessary to think about the enhancement of those three vital aspects. It can be done by modifying nursing education curriculum so that nursing students can improve professional skills and carry forward their professional legacy.

Abstract:

Background: Patient satisfaction is perhaps is a proxy indicator to measure the success of a hospital. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of patient satisfaction among patients attending Otorhinolaryngology outpatient department (OPD) of a tertiary care teaching hospital in a district.Methods: Cross-sectional observational study among 230 patients attending Otorhinolaryngology outpatient department (OPD) of a tertiary care teaching hospital in a district using a modified validated Bengali questionnaire. Analysis of results was done by percentage and proportion.Results: Overall satisfaction was above 60% for only 42.6% of patients. Major dissatisfaction was with the registration system. 50.4% were dissatisfied for waiting at the queue of registration counter to get OPD ticket. Other causes of dissatisfaction were infrastructure e.g. non-availability of adequate seating arrangement (39.6%), fans (58.7%), non-availability of drinking water (71.7%). 78.3% were dissatisfied for the available washroom facilities. However 92% were satisfied by attention paid by doctors.Conclusions: The present study was an attempt to assess the level of satisfaction of the patients. It highlights maintaining privacy during history taking examination and improving infrastructure like drinking water and washroom facilities, improving registration system to decrease waiting time can improve patient satisfaction which can be easily done with help of stakeholders.

Methods: The conceptual framework was based on “The Duluth Model”. Clearance from the institutional ethical committee and individual consent were taken. Descriptive survey design was adopted. From the population of postnatal women 162 were selected as sample by purposive sampling technique from postnatal OPD. Final data were collected for 6 weeks by using a validated and reliable semi-structured interview schedule (r = 0.98) and structured interview schedule (r = 0.83). Result: The study findings revealed that 22.83% women faced gender based violence. Majority faced emotional violence (59%) and sexual violence (57%). Women’s no rejection towards girl child was 91.35% whereas only 8.64% had indifferent view. In the domain of women empowerment 64.19% expressed as well empowered but decision making in the area of political (38.8%), economical (19.75%) and educational (12.96%) was poor. The association between gender based violence and women empowerment is statistically significant (chi2 value = 48.03*, p<0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that gender based violence is till now a case of concern for our society and country. The study has it’s implication in the field of nursing practice for awareness on violence and women’s right during pregnancy and after child birth.

Abstract:

Background Tribal population in India had been known to depend on traditional tribal medicines for long to cure their ailments. With the development of health care facilities and spread of AYUSH system:of late many tribal people are seeking homoeopathic treatment. More than half of the tribal population of West Bengal are concentrated in the South western part of the state that covers the districts of Paschim Medinipur, Purulia, and Bankura. Midnapore Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital being located in the same region gets a good number of tribal patients seeking homoeopathic care. Objective To assess the level of homoeopathic awareness and the reasons for their preference to homoeopathic system. Methods A cross sectional survey was conducted in the outpatient department of Midnapore Homeopathic Medical College and Hospital, Government of West Bengal, India from January 2016 to June 2016 on adult tribal population using a self-administered questionnaire. Results The survey performed on tribal patients reflected the level of homoeopathic awareness, prevalence of disease, socio-demographic data, and health status of the tribal population. The positive effect with homoeopathic treatment also became evident in the study. Conclusion A favorable attitude toward homoeopathy among the tribal population was obtained. However, some wrong notions about the mode also emerged in the study. In this respect, the authors felt the need on arrangement of homoeopathic health camps and distribution of homoeopathic awareness materials in tribal language to improve the scenario.

Abstract:

Introduction: Anaemia in pregnancy is still a major concern in reducing maternal morbidity and mortality in India particularly in rural population. Haemoglobinopathies are important contributors to anaemia in pregnancy in rural India particularly in tribal population. Beta thalassemia is the commonest type of haemoglobinopathy all over the world. Thalassemia and other haemoglobinopathies are highly prevalent among the tribal communities in West Bengal. Bankura is one of the districts of West Bengal where more tribal population are present. So detection and prevention of thalassemias is one of the major public health problems in this part of the state of West Bengal. Study done by Manna et al4 showed that about 10% of the population is carrier of haemoglobin disorder. This study was taken up to document the recent prevalence status of hemoglobinopathies particularly Thalassemias and coexistence of iron deficiency anaemiasObjective: To find out prevalence of haemoglobinopathies and to compare the prevalence of different types of Thalassemias among the antenatal mothers.Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in Bankura Sammilani Medical College (BSMC), Bankura West Bengal among 3500 tribal and non-tribal antenatal mothers. Cation exchange-high performance liquid chromatography (CE-HPLC) is being used for investigation for hemoglobinopathies and thalassemias. Together with a complete blood count, the CE-HPLC is effective in categorizing hemoglobinopathies as traits, homozygous disorders and compound heterozygous disorders.Results: In our study 275 mothers had haemoglobinopathy. The commonest disorder we encountered was Beta Thalassemia trait (57.5%), followed by HbE carrier (36%), homozygous HbE disease (1%), HbS carrier (4%), HbE Beta Thalassemia (1.5%).Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(1) 2016 p.90-94

Abstract:

Background: The estimates of maternal mortality can only be used as a rough indicator of maternal health situation in any given country. High maternal mortality reflects not only in inadequacy of health care services for mothers, but also a low standard of living and socio economic status of the community. Objective was to assess the maternal mortality ratio (MMR), its probable causes and changing trends.Methods: The present study conducted at Midnapore Medical College (MMC), West Bengal. Data for analysis were collected from medical college record section and maternal death registrar book after having permission from higher authority of the college during the period from January 2009 to 2018 December. Total sample size for this period was 249. Statistical analysis was done through SPSS software.Results: Ten years data analysis of 249 subjects showed that total live births from January 2009 to December 2018 was 1,39,126 with MMR 178.97%. Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (40.56%) was the leading direct cause of maternal death followed by hemorrhage (24.49%) and septicemia (10.84%). Heart disease (6.42%) was the major indirect cause of death followed by anemia (3.6%). Maternal death rate found high among primi gravida (59.43%) mothers and within 20 years age group (46.18%).Conclusions: Most maternal deaths are preventable by proper antenatal care, early diagnosis of high risk factors, timely referral to tertiary care centre along with community upliftment especially in rural and tribal based population.

Abstract:

Background: Painful knee is considered as one of the most common causes of morbidity and disability affecting all age group. It happens due to varied reasons ranged from injury to various disease processes. The present study documented the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in painful knee.Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 painful knee patients referred to the Radiodiagnosis department of the Midnapore Medical College of West Bengal for evaluation. MRI scans performed using GE 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner. Results were expressed in terms of numbers and proportions.Results: The commonest soft tissue lesion found was meniscal tears which mainly involved posterior horn of the medial meniscus and of grade 2 nature. In case of any injury, vertical meniscal tear was found the commonest type. Tear was found the commonest lesion involved the anterior-cruciate ligament (ACL), mostly acute in nature while partial tear commonly found in posterior-cruciate ligament (PCL). Nearly one-third (30%) had features of bone contusions; mostly tibia followed by lateral femoral condyle. Popliteal cyst was the commonest cystic lesion and was associated with effusions and meniscal tears while patello-femoral compartment mostly involved by the osteo-arthritic process.Conclusions: MRI is an ideal, non-invasive and more precised imaging technique for the radiological evaluate of the painful knee condition for better clinical management.

Abstract Background and aims: Lateral nasal wall of each nasal cavity provides the final common pathway of drainage of the muco-ciliary clearance of frontal, maxillary and anterior ethmoidal air cells. Anatomical variant like Concha Bullosa may obstruct the muco ciliary clearance thmugh osteomeatal complex and cause rhino sinusitis. The objectives were to find out the anatomical variation of middle concha and its clinical correlates with variation of middle concha. Methods: The present study was a descriptive, hospital based cross sectional study carried out in the outpatient departments of North Bengal Medical College & Hospital among 15 years and above patients. Coronal CT scan of paranasal sinus and orbit region was done. Data was collected with the help of semi structured predesigned and pretested questionnaire. Results: Of the 44 study patients, 15.9% had Concha Bullosa, 11.36% had paradoxical middle concha. Dimensions of right and left concha were also studied. 77.3%, 59.1% and 47.7% had sneezing, rhinorrhoea and headache respectively. Conclusion: The harmony of mucociliary clearance and obstruction free osteomeatal complex is the key factor for ventilation and drainage of maxillary, fmntal and anterior ethmoidal air cells.

Abstract:

India is an endemic zone for hepatitis E virus (HEV), which is associated with both epidemic and sporadic infections. In West Bengal, only two hepatitis E outbreaks have been studied to date. However, sporadic cases of HEV infection also occur during inter-epidemic periods. The aim of this hospital-based study was to detect the prevalence of HEV infection in patients with acute sporadic hepatitis in West Bengal, India. Blood samples and clinical information were collected from 285 patients of both sexes and different ages with acute viral hepatitis (AVH) at Calcutta Medical College, Kolkata, a tertiary-care centre. Samples were tested for hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen, anti-hepatitis C virus antibodies, anti-hepatitis A virus IgM and anti-HEV antibodies (IgM and IgG) by ELISA. Only those patients with AVH who were in their first week of illness and negative for all hepatotropic viral antibodies were tested for HEV RNA by reverse transcriptase nested PCR. HEV was identified as the most common cause of AVH (41.8 % of patients), followed by HBV (21.4 %), hepatitis A virus (17.2 %) and hepatitis C virus (4.6 %). Co-infections with more than one virus were found in 22 patients, with HBV–HEV the most common co-infection (3.8 %). Only 14.7 % of patients had no viral marker. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented epidemiological study of acute sporadic hepatitis with HEV in the state of West Bengal, India, indicating that this state is an endemic zone for HEV infection.

Abstract:

Documentation of prescriptions and clinical outcomes in routine homeopathic practice is a prerequisite for conducting targeted research in homeopathy. Six homeopathic physicians participated in methodical data collection over a 3-month period in 6 outpatient departments of Mahesh Bhattacharyya Homeopathic Medical College and Hospital, West Bengal, India. A specifically designed Microsoft Excel spreadsheet enabled recording of consecutive appointments—date, patient identity, medical condition/complaint, whether chronic/acute, new/follow-up case, patient-assessed outcome (7-point Likert-type scale: −3 to +3), prescribed homeopathic medication, and whether other medication/s being taken for the condition. Spreadsheets were submitted monthly for data synthesis and analysis. A total of 1972 patients’ follow-up generated data of 2905 appointments, of which 2272 (78.2%) were positive, 183 (6.3%) negative, and 450 (15.5%) showed no change. Strongly positive outcomes (scores of +2/+3) were recorded in osteoarthritis, piles, cough, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, chronic suppurative otitis media, and conjunctivitis. This systematic recording short-listed promising areas of future homeopathic research.

Abstract:

Mental health problems are often unrecognized and neglected by patients, their relatives and by the society. The objective of the study was to find out the pattern of psychiatric morbidity of the patients attending at the psychiatry outpatient department. This was a cross sectional study carried out in the department of Psychiatry at North Bengal Medical College Hospital (NBMCH), Sirajganj from August, 2015 to July, 2017. For this purpose, 918 respondents attending in psychiatry outpatient department of NBMCH were enrolled in the study by using convenient sampling technique. The results showed that majority (26.3%) were from the age group of 31-40 years with female preponderance (58.7%). Among them 71.8% were married and 71.1% came from rural background. Maximum respondent’s (56.3%) monthly family income was in between 15,000-30,000 BDT. The most common psychiatric morbidity among the respondents was major depressive disorder (38.6%) followed by anxiety disorsers (25.8%). Most (85.1%) of the respondents were referred either by themselves or by their family members, friends or by relatives. The rest (14.9%) were referred by general physicians and specialists of different disciplines. The result of this study may help in the planning for better mental health service in private medical college hospitals.Bang J Psychiatry June 2016; 30(1): 10-13
