Introduction: During the period of pregnancy, many physical and social activities can become of great risk to the fetal and maternal outcome. Among the many physical ailments that have an effect on maternal and fetal outcome, hypertension and diabetes are the most common cause, and effects. During diabetes, maternal hypertension and gestational diabetes can occur, and can cause great changes to the outcome of pregnancy. The present study was conducted among all hypertension patients to see the different types of hypertension and their incidence rate among pregnant women, and their maternal and fetal outcomes at pregnancy. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Gynecology, Kushtia 250 bed General Hospital, Kushtia, Bangladesh. The study duration was 1 year, from January 2020 to January 2021. During this period, a total of 100 cases of hypertensive pregnancies visiting the study place were admitted following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result: Majority of the hypertensive mothers had been between the ages of 21-25 years, while mean birth weight was below normal range among the neonates. Moderate preeclampsia had the highest prevalence among the mothers, and anemia and nulliparity were observed in 67% and 44% respectively as risk factors among the participants. Adverse perinatal outcome had a significantly high prevalence among neonates of preeclampsia groups. Conclusion: The study observed higher incidence of preeclampsia among pregnant women, and adverse perinatal outcomes had significant rise among preeclampsia cases. Anemia was the most common risk factor for hypertension in the present study, followed by Nulliparity. Adverse maternal outcomes did not have a significant association with type of hypertension, but seizure and oliguria were more common among preeclampsia cases.

Background: Measurement of Prostate Volume (PV) is fundamental in the proper management of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Although a crude way of assessing PV, digital rectal examination (DRE) has been used in various centres and then objectified by the use of Transrectal Ultrasound Scan (TRUS) measurement for reasons of accuracy. Prostate volume measurement together with the use of international prostate symptom score (IPSS) is central in choosing treatment modalities whether medical or surgical. In this study, we aimed at correlating PV measured by DRE and TRUS. Patients and Methods: This is a prospective study of seventy four (74) patients being managed for BPH in our facility between September 2019 and December 2020 who met inclusion criteria. Full clinical history was obtained together with physical examination and well-focused DRE of the prostate to estimate PV based on Romero et al., technique combined with the sliding scale technique. Subsequently patients were sent for TRUS measurements of the prostate which is also a routine procedure in BPH managements. Data were collated and analysed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 Results: A total of 74 patients were studied with a mean age of 63.05±9.89 years ranging from 43 to 90 years. Mean PV estimated by DRE was 47.91±14.16 mls and that by TRUS was 53.42±25.33 mls. There was a statistically significant correlation in PV measurements between the two modalities (P v=.750, PV < .05). Conclusion: PV measured by DRE closely approximates TRUS measurements.

Background: Amniotic fluid is the fluid present in amniotic sac which surrounds the foetus, provides nutrition and maintains temperature of the foetus. Physically it allows the foetus to move and prevents it from injury. Functionally it enables foetal breathing mobility that prevents pulmonary hypoplasia and exercises digestive tract by swallowing amniotic fluid. Objective: The objective of the study was to explore the role of amnioinfusion in intrapartum management of meconium stained amniotic fluid in the pregnant women at labor and foetomaternal outcome of the patients attending labor ward of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital. Methods: This experimental randomized control trial study carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi from July, 2012 to June, 2014. Sample size was 100 and randomly allocated into equally two halves as study group and control group. Purposive sampling technique was followed. Results: In this study the age of the study group up to 30 years was 38(47.5%), control group 42(52.5%) and total 80(80.0%). On the other hand, in >30 year’s study group was 12(60.0%), control group 8(40.0%) and total 20(20.0%) respectively. and that of control group was 26.24 (±4.75) years. The mean age of the study group was 27.44 ± 5.59, control group was 26.24 ± 4.75 and total was 26.84 ±5.18 years. The mean weight of the study group was 66.84 (±3.25) kg and in the control group 62.64(±2.84) kg. In this study, 96.0% of the respondents had normal vaginal delivery and among them, 52.1% were in the study group and 47.9% in the control group. On the other hand, only 4% of the respondents had lower segment caesarean section and all of them were in the control group. The mean gestational age at delivery of the respondents in the study group was 39.88 ± 0.78 weeks and in the control group 39.84 ± 0.75 weeks.

This research takes the formulation of the problem of why is the regulation of the implementation of Credit Union activities not based on the value of justice and how is the reconstruction of regulations for implementing Credit Union activities in Indonesia based on the value of justice. This research uses normative legal research methods and empirical legal research where the research specification used in this research is descriptive-analytical. The Primary data sources are based on data or facts and legal cases obtained directly through research in the field and Secondary data is done through literature study. The result of the research shows that the regulation on the implementation of Credit Union activities in Indonesia has not been based on the value of justice, because Credit Unions, which in their implementation are based on the Model Law for Credit Unions, are still analogous to the Savings and Loans Cooperative which in its implementation is based on Government Regulation Number 9 of 1995 concerning Implementation Savings and Loans Business Activities by Cooperatives. There are differences in the recruitment of members, forms of education, and indicators of loan requirements and institutional health, it is necessary to reconstruct the regulations for implementing Credit Union activities in Indonesia based on the value of justice. Reconstruction of Law Number 25 of 1992 concerning Cooperatives can be done by adding new paragraphs in Article 44, namely; (4) The implementation of savings and loan business activities by the Credit Union is regulated based on the Model Law for Credit Union.

This study analyzes the parliament speech delivered by the British queen under the framework of transitivity through the employment of qualitative and quantitative methods. The function and distribution of the transitivity process in the speech are explored, aiming at revealing the linguistic feature of the speech so that the understanding of the linguistic characteristics and the speech content is deepened. The study finds out four process types in the speech, among which the material process accounts for the largest proportion, with the relational process, the mental process and the existential process followed. There is no verbal and behavioral process in the speech. The material process shows the vigorous actions of the government. The relational process makes the power of the government closely connected with the country and the citizens, and the mental process implies the government’s outlook on the future and the confidence to do all the work well. This linguistic pattern shows the seriousness and authority of the speaker and the study concludes that the specific linguistic structure determines the implied meaning of the utterance.

Introduction: The intensity of the work and the diversity of the acts imposed, in the operating room, provided organization and complementarity of the different actors. The dysfunctions observed are the cause of delays, reports or additions to the operating program our study consisted in evaluating, within the our department of operating theaters, the deadlines of patients who were to be performed under general anesthesia in scheduled surgery, from their arrival in the operating room until the incision, and to identify the causes and possible consequences. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective observational study carried out at HMIMV, between March 1, 2018 and April 1, 2018, Results: The median waiting time in the reception room was 42 minutes, and 65% of patients waited between 25 and 62 minutes the main causes of delay in the operating room were at 38% of cases, the unavailability of the anesthesiologist. In more than 22% of cases the non-availability of State Certified Nurse Anesthesiologist in 19% of cases the unavailability of the surgeon. We then find almost 5% of expectations due to equipment defective or missing. Some causes were not specified for nearly 3% and about 3% of cases the non-availability of the State-certified operating room nurse. It is in the sectors of orthopedics and digestive endoscopy that predominates expectation of surgeons and to a lesser extent that of anesthesiologist-resuscitator. However the unavailability of the anesthesiologist-resuscitator was predominant in visceral surgery and in Gynecology. Conclusion: Optimizing an operating theater means making it possible to operate on more patients, in different better safety conditions and with a level of quality and comfort for the patient satisfied.

Introduction: Ear diseases have been found to be important health problems among children. Nearly one third of Otorhinolaryngology outdoor attendance in the hospital comprised of paediatric age group. The problem is compounded by the fact that the children are economically dependent on their parents who are largely poor. However, the cause of hearing loss in children is more varied, including the etiologies. Objective: To find out ear diseases in children presenting at Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital, Bogura, Bangladesh. Materials and Methods: This hospital-based prospective study was carried at Department of ENT & Head-Neck Surgery, Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital, Bogura, Bangladesh from January to December 2021. 985 patients below sixteen years of age presented to the ENT OPD during the study period. Of them, 450 had ear disease. All patients aged 16 years or younger presenting with ear diseases to the ENT clinic of the hospital and seen by ENT surgeons were enrolled into the study. The diagnoses were made on the basis of history and clinical examination. Results were expressed in numbers and percentages. Results: Out of 985 patients below sixteen years of age presented to the ENT OPD during the study period. Of them, 450 had ear disease. Five hundred and sixty one (64.4%) were males. The male to female sex ratio was 1.8:1. Table 2 the various types of ear disease were as CSOM (Chronic Suppurative Ottitis Media), ASOM (Acute Suppurative Ottitis Media) and OME (Ottitis Media with Effusion). Wax (33.6%) followed by CSOM (18.7%) and ASOM (13.8%) were the most common ear diseases in paediatric patients in tertiary care centre. Ear diseases commonly found in this study were in the age group of 6-10 years and most ear diseases were more common in boys. It was found that wax (33.6%) was the most common diagnosed ear disease. Conclusion: Ear diseases are most common condition in ENT OPD among paediatric age group. Wax, CSOM and ASOM were the three most common ear diseases.

An inspection is implemented to study MHD slip flow of viscous reactive fluid in a convectively heated porous vertical channel. The ordinary differential equation governing the flow field is solved by a semi-analytical method (perturbation series method) where suction/injection is used as a fluid controller in the channel. The results are presented graphically and discussed quantitatively with respect to various parameter embedded in the problem. It is observed that for both suction/injection, increase in Magnetic field parameter, decrease the velocity flow and skin friction.
