Globally tuberculosis (TB) has become the leading cause of death from infectious diseases. Tuberculosis is a chronic infection and a person may suffer from tuberculosis and other chronic medical conditions at the same time. Co-occurrence of multiple chronic conditions in the same individual, known as multimorbidity (MM) is increasing worldwide. This cross-sectional study was carried out from January 2017 to December 2017 to reveal the extent of multimorbidity among tuberculosis cases. A TB case with multimorbidity was defined as TB with multimorbidity (TB-MM) subject. By convenient sampling, 227 tuberculosis cases from 8 Directly Observed Treatment, Short Course (DOTS) centers from Dhaka, Mymensingh and Netrokona districts were enrolled in this study. Among 227 tuberculosis cases 29 (12.8%) cases had multimorbidity (TB-MM subjects). Prevalence of multimorbidity was significantly higher in age group ≥40 years (p<0.001), male cases (p=0.034) and cases who had family income >30000 BDT/month (p=0.001), were currently smoker (p=0.028) and whose BCG scars were not seen (p<0.001). This study recommends that each TB case should be investigated for other chronic conditions to reveal the actual national magnitude of multimorbidity. Bangladesh Med J. 2017 Sep; 46 (3): 74-79

Background: The present study highlights the occurrence of Incidental gallbladder carcinoma (IGBC) detected during histopathological examination in cholecystectomy specimens removed for cholelithiasis. Methods- This is a tertiary hospital based cross-sectional study of 500 cholecystectomy specimens removed during cholelithiasis. Relevant hospital records, histopathology slides and reports were reviewed, re-evaluated and studied. Results: 4(0.80%) cases of incidental gall bladder carcinoma (IGBC) were diagnosed from the histopathological evaluation (HPE) of 500 cholecystectomy specimens, constituting 0.80% of gall bladder specimens received during the study period. The age of the patients with IGBC ranged from 51-80 years. More females were affected than males with a M:F ratio of 1:3. Conclusion: Early detection of IGBC by histopathological examination would have a favourable impact on prognosis and management thereby increasing the survival outcome.

Introduction: To evaluate the maternal and perinatal outcome in booked and unbooked cases. Objectives: To assess the maternal and fetal outcomes in unbooked and booked patients. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional comparative study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology from Augustti2019 to January 2020. Using a convenient sampling technique, 204 samples were taken and cross-sectional study was done. Results: There were total 204 cases in this study;102were booked and 102 were unbooked. In this study, 85(83%) of booked cases were educated up to secondary level as compared toti65 (64%) of unbooked cases. There was no significant difference in Apgar score in 1 and 5 minute between booked and unbooked cases. More babies in the unbooked group were transferred to NICU as compared to the booked group and the difference was significant (9.8%vs 1.9%). Greater proportion of booked cases had spontaneous vaginal delivery (81.3% vs 59.8%) and complications like preterm delivery, anemia, preeclampsia/ eclampsia, complicated labor and puerperal sepsis was also less in the booked group. Conclusions: The study showed that unbooked mothers and their newborns had higher chance of having complications.

Objectives: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death, disability, and dementia in developing countries. Our study aimed to evaluate the systemic disorders associated with mortality in patients admitted within 72 hours of the initial stroke event. Setting: The study took place at a tertiary hospital in Kinshasa. Participants: Patients admitted within 72 hours of the initial stroke event. Interventions: This cross-sectional study consisted of a retrospective review of stroke patient records from January 2016 to December 2018. The Pearson-Chi square test and odds ratios were calculated with a threshold of significance of 0.05. Main outcome measures: Mortality Results: We recruited 114 cases. The mean age was 61.8 ± 2.4 years, and the sex ratio was 1.78 in favor of men. Hypertension (76.3%), dyslipidemia (71.1%), and diabetes mellitus (58.8%) were the most frequent comorbidities. Most patients had hypoxia (85.9%), hypertension (82.4%), hyperglycemia (57.8%), and fever (28.1%). We registered thirty-two deaths (28.1%): 20 (62.5%) from the ischemic strokes, and 12 (37.5%) from hemorrhagic strokes. Systemic disorders with the worst prognosis during were arterial hypotension (OR=3.87, p >0.001), and fever (OR = 1.56, p = 0.047). Conclusion: Arterial hypotension and fever adversely affect stroke patient outcomes, and strokes are responsible for high mortality in Congo
