Lemna solid waste dumpsites is found within cities of Calabar and due to poor and ineffective management, the dumpsites turn to sources of serious concern to the people living in the vicinity of the site. Polluted air, leachate release from the site to the ground water, activities of scavengers in the site, bad odour, incubation and proliferation of flies, mosquitoes, and rodents; that, in turn, are disease transmitters with their effect on population’s health, has its organic defenses in a formative and creative state. This study therefore sought to evaluate the health implication of Lemna dumpsite in Calabar on the residents living around the site. Data were collected from 309 household heads, through the use of self- administered questionnaires. Households’ heads were selected through the use of simple random sampling technique. Data collected were subjected to analysis using principal component factor analysis. Result shows that cardiovascular diseases, birth defects, immune system defects, weakening of lungs functions, lung cancer, kidney problems, liver disease, skin cancer, stomach infections, liver failure, kidney failure and polio have the highest loading in factor one meaning that there are not prevalence in the study area although there are in existence as seen from the communalities loadings. Whereas, typhoid, cholera, dysentery, malaria and stomach ulcer were the prevalence sickness in the environment because they have the highest factor loadings in factor two. On the severity if such sickness in the study area, it was seen that households only visit hospital often due to the following health condition; birth defects, immune system defects, kidney problems, liver disease, skin cancer, stomach infections, cholera, malaria, dysentery, stomach, ulcer, and typhoid because the above mentioned sicknesses have the highest loadings in factor one (often visit hospital). Conversely, cardiovascular disease, weakening of lungs functions, lung cancer, liver failure, kidney failure and polio have highest factor loading in factor two, meaning that although there is occurrence of this sicknesses in the study area, households rarely visit hospital because of such health condition. Therefore, the study recommends recycling of solid waste, waste to energy incineration, anaerobic digestion, compositing/organic waste recycling, and advanced technologies as waste management control should be encourage in Calabar instead of the use of dumpsite.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance in Enterococcus species is a growing global concern. These bacteria, commonly found in the human gut, have resisted multiple antibiotics, making infections harder to treat. This poses a significant challenge for healthcare as it limits treatment options and highlights the urgent need for responsible antibiotic use and the development of new therapies. Aim of the study: The study aimed to determine the antimicrobial resistance pattern of Enterococcus Species at a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh. Methods: This cross-sectional research occurred at Sample collected from deferent laboratories situated in rangpur and test/research perform, Department of Microbiology in prime institute of science and medical technology (PRISMET), Rangpur During March’ 2022 to March’ 2023. It spanned one year from [start date] to [end date]. The primary goal was to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of enterococci. Throughout the study, 1,450 samples were collected from various sources, including urine, blood, pus, swabs, and fluids. However, only 62 Enterococci isolates were successfully obtained. Standard microbiological protocols, such as microscopy and culture, were rigorously followed during sample processing. All clinical samples received at the Microbiology laboratory during the study were considered for inclusion. Data analysis was conducted using Microsoft Excel and presented with tables and graphs, while SPSS was employed for statistical analysis. Result: The study population primarily consisted of patients aged 36-75 (77.42%), averaging 52.01 years. Gender distribution was skewed towards males (59.68%). Enterococcus spp. They have dominated the microbial species (64.52%), with E. faecalis (14.52%) and E. faecium (11.29%) being prevalent. Urine samples were the most common (66.13%), followed by pus (11.29%) and swab (9.68%). Antibiotic susceptibility analysis showed varying results, with amoxicillin being sensitive in 87.10% of cases, while Cefixime, Ceftazidime, Ceftriaxone, and Cefotaxime exhibited over 96% resistance. Conclusion: This study highlights the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Enterococcus species at a Bangladeshi tertiary care hospital. Once harmless, these bacteria now pose a severe risk to public health. Our research shows that E. faecalis and E. faecium have become resistant to many common antibiotics, particularly cephalosporins, urging immediate antibiotic stewardship and infection control. To combat this global health threat, we must explore novel treatments and employ a multidisciplinary approach to protect patients and healthcare systems from Enterococcus infections.

Introduction: Preeclampsia is an advanced objection characterized by the new start of hypertension and proteinuria or the new start of hypertension and important end-organ dysfunction with or without proteinuria in the last half of the prenatal period or post-delivery. Long-term, patients with preeclampsia are at enhanced risk for developing cardiovascular and renal disease. The aim of the study was to evaluate the maternal and perinatal outcomes in women suffering from preeclampsia. Methods: A case-control study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital, Dhaka from July 2020 to June 2021. A total number of one hundred twelve pregnant women (N=112), were enrolled in the study and fifty-six (n=56) were included as preeclampsia (Cases) and another fifty-six (n=56) were enrolled as normotensives (Controls). Data were collected using the predesigned semi-structured questionnaire. Verbal consent was taken before recruiting the study population. Completed data forms were reviewed, edited, and processed for computer data entry. The data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 25.0. Result: Respondents' mean age was 27.35 ± 4.85 (case) & 26.46 ± 4.86(control) years. Maximum study subjects had only primary education. The majority of the respondents were homemakers in all groups. Respondents' mean gestational age was 36.28 ± 2.12 (case) & 36.57 ± 1.82 (control) weeks respectively and was significant in both case and control groups (p=.001). There was no statistical difference according to gravida found between the cases and controls. Based on maternal outcomes, delivery by cesarean section was greater in cases than in controls (p<0.001), &eclampsia (p<0.001) and PPH (p=0.002) were significantly lower in controls than cases. Based on the neonatal outcome, birth weight was significantly lower in cases than in controls (p=0.020), and stillbirth was significantly lower in controls than cases (p=0.042). Conclusion: Preeclampsia may be linked to complications with the placenta initially in the pregnancy. A very little amount of maternal complications and fetal complications rose in this current analysis and the result of the findings was satisfactory.

Introduction: Pre-eclampsia is a complex disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation, posing risks to maternal and fetal health. It is linked to adverse outcomes worldwide, with varying incidence rates across regions. Risk factors include history, maternal age, and socioeconomics. The pathophysiology involves issues with spiral artery adaptation. The study aimed to analyze the associations between serum CRP concentration, maternal hypertension, and fetal outcomes in pregnant women. Methods: This cross- sectional analytical study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Institute of Child and Mother Health (ICMH), Matuail, Dhaka. It took place from January to December 2018. The study population comprised 120 pregnant women within the gestational age of 28-40 weeks. The women were categorized into three groups: Group A (control) consisted of normotensive pregnant women, Group B included pregnant women with mild pre-eclampsia, and Group C comprised pregnant women with severe pre-eclampsia. Ethical guidelines were followed, including IRB approval and participant consent. Data were analyzed using SPSS software, version, 22.0. Chi-Square, t-test, and ANOVA test were performed to determine associations among the study variables of the groups, where p<0.05 considered as the level of significance. Results: The study enrolled 120 participants divided into Groups A, B, and C. The majority fell within the 18-25 age range. The mean ages were 24.23±4.52 (Group A), 24.73±4.01 (Group B), and 24.26±3.07 (Group C). BMI was significantly higher in Groups A and B compared to Group C (p < 0.05). Gestational age was lower in mild and severe preeclampsia compared to normal pregnancies (p < 0.05). Cesarean section delivery was significantly more frequent in preeclamptic mothers (p < 0.001). CRP levels varied, with means of 3.07 (Group A), 9.67 (Group B), and 13.15 (Group C), showing significant differences (p < 0.05). Fetal birth weight was lowest in Group C (2.61) and highest in Group A (2.95). Severe preeclampsia patients had elevated CRP levels, with 93.3% exhibiting this trend (p < 0.05). Adverse neonatal outcomes were more common in preeclampsia cases, including prematurity, LBW, and neonatal complications (p < 0.05). Increased CRP levels were associated with low birth weight (p < 0.001) and lower APGAR scores (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Pre- eclampsia shows raised serum CRP levels, particularly pronounced in severe cases, with about 83% of patients affected. This heightened CRP connects to adverse fetal outcomes.

DOI: 10.36348/sijog.2023.v06i10.003
Premature rupture of membranes (PROM), also known as "pre-labour rupture of membranes," occurs when the gestational membranes burst after 37 weeks but before labor really starts. This study showed that PLR could be a new inflammatory marker for diagnosing preterm PROM. The study place was the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Sir Salimullah Medical College (SSMC) & Mitford Hospital (MH), Dhaka, Bangladesh, from May 2019 to October 2019. It was a case-control study. All mothers were selected by purposive sampling who were PPROM as cases. Age-matched non-PPROM pregnant women at term were also enrolled as control. Afterward, they were scrutinized according to eligibility criteria, and 200 mothers were enrolled. Among them, 100 were cases, and the other 100 were in control. A pre-tested, observation-based, peer-reviewed data collection sheet was prepared before the study. Data regarding clinical, biochemical, and surgical profiles were recorded. Data were compiled, edited, and analyzed. The P-value was determined by the chi-square test (categorical variables) and the student’s t-test (continuous variables). The p-value was significant at <0.05. The mean age of 100 patients from the case was 24.39±2.81 (age range: 18-36) years, and that of the control, like 100 normal pregnant women, was 24.31±2.34 (age range: 19-35). (P=0.49). The mean parity of case and control were 2.1±0.9 (range: 0- 5) and 1.98±0.2 (range: 0-3). The mean gravida of case and control were (3.1±1.2 vs. 3.4±1.4).The platelet count was found significantly higher in PROM or cases (241.6±58.7 vs 201.7±65.91000/mm3, p <0.001). PLR was higher (125.8±67.1 vs 105.2±48.6) in cases (P<0.001). So, there is a good opportunity to utilize PLR as an inflammatory marker to predict preterm PROM. PLR is used in many acute or chronic inflammatory conditions. Its use to predict preterm PROM is a new concept. For that reason, this study is rational and time demanding.
