Needle Aspiration Cytology

Background: Breast problems are common among female patient attending general outpatient. Although the problem is expected to have significant morbidity, patients usually hide or present late for breast related problems in Nepal. Objective: To measure the pattern of breast diseases and its frequency and distribution in different age groups among patients attending general outpatient department at BPKIHS, Nepal. Methods: A crosssectional study was conducted in general outpatient department (GOPD) of B.P.Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (BPKIHS) during a period of six months. Women of all age groups presenting with breast problem were included. Clinical assessment, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and radiology were done. Mammography being unavailable at the hospital, ultrasonography was the preferred method of imaging. Results: Hundred cases of breast diseases were assessed. The benign breast disease (BBD) was the commonest finding (96%). Among BBD, fibroadenoma was the commonest (32%) followed by breast abscess (26%) and mastalgia (22%) including cyclic and non cyclic. The common age groups of involvement were 30-39 years for fibroadenoma, 20-29 years for breast abscess, 30-39 years for cyclic mastalgia, 40- 49 years for non cyclic mastalgia and 70-79 years for breast cancer. Conclusion: BBD is the most common breast problem in women. Among BBD, fibroadenoma was the most common.

Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Background: Dizziness and vertigo are frequent complaints of outpatients in the neurological department. Our objective was to explore the epidemiological category and clinical features of patients with dizziness or vertigo in the neurological outpatient department of a tertiary hospital. Methods: We consecutively recruited all patients with dizziness and/or vertigo visiting the neurological outpatient clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2016 to June 2017. All patients were interviewed by 4 neurologists and they completed self-administered questionnaires. General physical and standardized neuro-otology bedside examinations were performed in all participants. Instrumental examinations and other related examinations were prescribed as needed. Results: A total of 392 patients, 272 female and 120 male, were enrolled and the ratio of males to females was 1: 2.27. The mean age was 52.39 ± 13.87 years (range 11–90). Elderly patients (≥60 years) accounted for about one-third of the patients. Peripheral vestibular disorders accounted for 54.6% of patients, central vestibular disorders (including vestibular migraine [VM]) accounted for 22.4% of patients, psychogenic vertigo in 64 (16.3%), other reasons in 9 (2.3%) and unknown in 17 (4.3%). Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV; 30.8%), psychiatric dizziness (20.5%), and VM (14.4%) were the 3 major vestibular diseases in patients under 60 years of age; however, BPPV (27.9%), central vertigo (21.7%), and Meniere’s disease (11.7%) were more common in patients over 60 years of age. Conclusions: This study provided a classification and clinical features of vestibular disorders in a neurological outpatient department of a tertiary hospital in China. The spectrum of vertigo or dizziness is different between different age groups and clinicians should pay attention to this difference in clinical reasoning.

Background: Many nurses perceive that the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) reduces the workload, improves the quality of documentation, and improves safety and patient care. However, other nurses reported that the system and environment of healthcare might impede EMR documentation at the bedside. Objective: The study aimed to describe the nurses' views of the use, quality, and satisfaction with EMR in daily practice in outpatient settings. Furthermore, the relationships among the use, quality, and user’s satisfaction of EMR were assessed in the study. Methods: The proposed study employed a cross-sectional, descriptive correlational design. Inclusion criteria were nurses willing to participate in the study, fluent in the English language, and have been working in the Outpatient Department for more than three months until the time of study implementation. A self-reported questionnaire with strong validity and reliability was used to assess nurses’ views of use, quality and satisfaction of EMR. Results: The response rate was 77.2% (170 out of 220), 91.2% of the participants were females. Results about the use of EMR have shown positive views ranging from 51.2% to 84.7%, with the lowest scores reported when to write nurse care worksheets (Kardex). For the quality of EMR, the results have shown positive views ranging from 70% to 87.6% with the lowest scores reported related to the EMR system problems and crashes, and for the user’s satisfaction, the results have shown positive views ranging from 76.5% to 87.1%. There were significant positive correlations between the three elements use, quality, and user’s satisfaction of EMR. Conclusion: Participants reported positive views in the domain of use, quality, and satisfaction with EMR. Furthermore, positive correlations were reported between the use, quality, and satisfaction domains of EMR.

Varicose veins are abnormally dilated, tortuous and elongated veins that occur in the lower limbs. The patients usually present to the surgical outpatient department with various clinical presentations such as, dilated veins, venous ulcers over the legs, pigmentation of the skin and lipodermatosclerosis to name a few. Venous doppler is a very important investigation that must be done in a cases of varicose veins.The surgical treatment involves sapheno-femoral junction flush ligation with stripping of the varicose vein. Several other modalities are also available today such as, sclerotherapy and endovascular laser ablation (EVLA). The objective of this study was to determine the clinical profile of the patients who presented with vari-cose veins and to determine the treatment that was offered to them to treat the varicose veins. This study was carried out from September 2015 to August 2018. A total of 62 patients were studied. The statistics were analy-sed using SPSS package 20.0. Ethical clearance was obtained from the institutional ethics committee. The presence of dilated veins was the most common complaint with which patients presented to the surgical outpatient department. The most common surgical procedure that was performed was the sapheno-femoral junction flush ligation with stripping of the varicose vein. This study shows the importance of diagno-sing a case of varicose veins and to determine as early as possible the treatment modality that should be offered to the patient.
