Background: To study clinical profile of snake bite patients in tertiary care hospital in Indra Gandhi Medical College at Shimla, Himachal Pradesh of North India.Methods: Hospital based prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Medicine, for the duration of one year from 1st June2013 to 31st May 2014.Results: A total of 78 patients were admitted with mean age of 38.46 years with male to female ratio of 1:1.6. Seasonal variation with peak incidence during rainy season was seen. Most common snake identified was green coloured and peak timing of snake bite was between 07:00am-04:00pm. There was delay in admission of more than 6 hours in 66.67% of cases. Hemotoxicity was predominant manifestation seen in 62.82% of cases and persistence of coagulopathy was most common complication (51.02%) despite giving optimal ASV. There was paucity in ASV administration seen in only 59.46% of referred patients. Mean ASV vials used were 23.41 vials ±8.72 vials.Conclusions: Mass education is required at both general population and health professional levels to improve snake bite management and monovalent ASV against Green pit viper is more practical option to manage cases in this region.

It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to study the clinical profile of organophosphorous poisoning in children.Methods: This was prospective study conducted over a period of two years from January 2018 to January 2020 in department of Pediatrics, Government Medical College Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India. All the patients in the age group of 1-18 years with history and examination suggestive of organophosphorous poisoning were included in this study.Results: In this study there were total of 54 patients. In majority of cases poisoning was accidental. Oral consumption was most common route of poisoning. The most common symptoms were excessive salivation (100%), vomiting (72%), abdominal pain (26%), diarrohea (13%), agitation (11%) and convulsions (3.7%). The most common signs were miosis (78%), bradycardia (59%), fasciculation (57%) and altered sensorium (13%). Respiratory failure and circulatory collapse were two main complications which contributed to mortality in this study.Conclusions: Organophosphorous poisoning is one of the most common poisoning in children. Early diagnosis and treatment is of pivotal importance to prevent mortality.

BACKGROUND Haemophilia’s are X-linked hereditary blood clotting disorders due to deficiency of factor VIII (haemophilia A) or factor IX (haemophilia B) & also has identical clinical manifestations, screening tests abnormalities and sex-linked genetic transmission. Haemophilia’s result from defects in the factor VIII / IX gene that lead to decreased amount of factor VIII / IX protein, the presence of a functionally abnormal protein, or combination of both. Haemophilia A is a classic example of an X-linked recessive trait. The severity of their bleeding depends on their factor VIII activity level; and, rarely, a woman can have very low factor VIII activity, and present with symptoms of moderate or even severe haemophilia. We wanted to study the clinical profile of patients of haemophilia admitted in a tertiary care hospital. METHODS This is a cross-sectional study enrolling 60 known cases of haemophilia A & B admitted in wards & ICU / attending OPD of a tertiary care hospital. History was obtained in detail & thorough clinical examination was carried out. Precipitating factors for bleeding (spontaneous / minor trauma / major trauma / surgical operation / dental procedure / others), family h / o bleeding were studied in detail. RESULTS Of the total 60 cases of haemophilia, majority (49) of cases were of haemophilia A and 11 cases were of haemophilia B. In the study, majority (28.33 %) of cases belonged to 12 - 20 years age group and the most common presentation was haemarthrosis (61.67 %). 6 patients had factor VIII inhibitor antibodies and all of them were of haemophilia A. CONCLUSIONS Haemarthrosis is the most common clinical presentation of haemophilia and most common cause for haemarthrosis is spontaneous bleeding. Most common joint involved in bleeding was knee joint (target joint). Presence of factor VIII inhibitor antibodies specially in haemophilia A patients is not uncommon.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the important causes of morbidity and mortality. With a rise in non communicable diseases in India, diabetes has become a modern epidemic showing a rising trend in West Bengal also. A large number of diabetes patients come to the diabetes clinic of our tertiary care hospital in North Bengal Medical College and Hospital, Darjeeling, West Bengal. The large proportion of patients presenting with this condition prompted us to study the Sociodemographic and Anthropometric Prole of such patients. Methods: This was a descriptive hospital based cross sectional study involving a total of 344 diabetic patients enrolled in the diabetes clinic of a tertiary care teaching hospital from December 2019 to February 2020. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data and was analyzed in Microsoft excel sheet and using SPSS 20.0 software. Results: Among the 344 study participants, we found that 220 (63.95%) were males and 124 (36.05%) were females. Diabetes was more common among those aged 51-60 years 108 (31.40%). Family history was present among 188 (54.65%) of the diabetic patients. Almost 160 (46.51%) patients have diabetes 1.1 – 5 years. Hypertension was present among 216 (62.79%) patients. Almost 218 (63.37%) of the patients were overweight and 84 (24.42%) were obese. Conclusions: The diabetic patients presenting to this tertiary care hospital belong lower socioeconomic strata and having limited education in their age group. There is high proportion of obesity and hypertension among them.
