The strategy in overcoming obstacles and obstacles in the Implementation of One Data for Hulu Sungai Selatan in accordance with Regent Regulation Number 40 of 2021 in Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency is to increase the disposition factor or attitude of the implementer which has been successfully implemented optimally. In the indicators for the appointment of bureaucrats, all policy implementers carry out their duties with discipline and responsibility. Meanwhile, on the incentive indicator for the One Data Website admin officer in the Website Portal field, there are no incentives given specifically to the administrator of the One Data HSS Website. One Data Officers have been given a salary and Performance Allowance or honorarium according to their duties and functions. One Data Admin, both from the Ministry of Communication and Informatics and from the OPD, received an assignment from the Head of the OPD to fill in sectoral statistical data on the Hulu Sungai Selatan one data portal. In addition, the last factor, namely the bureaucratic structure, has also been successfully implemented. In the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) indicator, there are already Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) at the Communication and Information Office of Hulu Sungai Selatan Regency in the Regional Digitization Program in carrying out their duties and carried out according to the SOP. In the fragmentation indicator, all communities are carried out equally without being privileged, either from the relevant agencies such as Bappelitbangda or the general public who are looking for data for research purposes and so on.

There have been a growing number of patients demanding root canal treatment to save their teeth. This study aimed to determine the pattern of demand and treatment need for root canal treatments at a tertiary healthcare facility in Lagos, Nigeria and update the dental literature with the demand and pattern of root canal treatments as seen in Nigeria. This was a retrospective study. Data from 8239 patients treated at restorative dental clinic, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital from 2011 through 2014, were reviewed. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Version 26. Association between categorical variables was assessed using Chi square test. Significance level was set at p<0.05. Nine hundred (900) patients age 18 to 79 years (Mean ± SD 38.95±9.4) of which 542 (60.2%) were male and 358 (39.8%) female received root canal treatment involving 1256 teeth. More male patients demanded for root canal treatment but treatment need was greater in female patients and increased with age. Demand for root canal treatment was more prevalent in those < 40 years of age. Central incisors were the most frequently root filled teeth in the maxilla and this was statistically significant (p=0.002). In the mandible, first molars were the most frequently root filled teeth however, this was not statistically significant (p=0.093). Findings in this study corroborate those of several other studies in Nigeria. However, unlike other Nigerian studies, this study noted a greater need for root canal treatment in female patients compared to male patients.

Introductions: Minimally invasive surgery is now the standard surgical procedure for benign gynecological diseases and plays an increasing role in their treatment. This study presents a personal series of an evaluation of the laparoscopic surgical approach. Its outcomes in the surgical treatment of patients with benign gynecological diseases. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the outcome of gynecological laparoscopy in a low-resource setting. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a private hospital in Rajshahi, Bangladesh. It is a retrospective surgical series of patients performed by the author, which analyzes (n=24) female patient treated from 2019 to December 2020. Results: A number of 24 female patients were included in this study; their mean age was 32.6 years. Among them diagnostic laparoscopy was done in 13 patients. This is mostly due to primary sub-fertility and therapeutic laparoscopy in 11 patients (2 salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy, 3 laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy, 1 myomectomy, 1 TLH, 1 laparoscopic adhesiolysis, 2 Ovarian cystectomy, and 1 left sided salpingoophorectomy was done for ovarian cyst). 1 laparoscopic procedure for LAVH was converted to laparotomy due to excessive bleeding. 20 patients were released without incident, but post-Surgical site infection occurred in 1 patient. There was no significant difference in operative complications, blood loss, or length of hospital stay compared to conventional laparoscopic surgery reported in the literature. The perioperative complications are minimal in this personal series. In this study, laparoscopic myomectomy and laparoscopic adhesiolysis for pelvic endometriosis. It took longer to perform using this approach compared with other procedures. Conclusion: Despite having many benefits over conventional procedures, gynecological laparoscopy has several limitations, especially in a low resource-poor setting (Lack of knowledge, Popularity among patients, Higher cost, Long learning curve, Instrumental backup). This paper reported a feasible and safe surgical approach to laparoscopic surgery for gynecological diseases.

Elbow dislocation may lead to disabling consequences such as elbow instability or stiffness. Complex elbow dislocation is associated with expected fracture patterns such as radial head, coronoid process, and terrible triad. On the other hand, simple dislocation is the dislocation without bony injury and is associated with a favorable prognosis. The following report describes a thirty-eight-year-old male who developed complex posterolateral elbow dislocation with irreducible trochlear fractures that blocked the reduction and mandated open reduction.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterised by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive. Additionally, exacerbations and co-existing morbidities contribute to the overall severity in the individual patient [1, 3]. Metabolic syndrome is the name for a group of risk factors that raises the risk for heart disease and other health problems such as, diabetes and stroke. It is present in almost 57% of COPD patients [2]. This is a prospective observational study included 50 patients admitted in chest ward of Sri Ramachandra hospital with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, According to guidelines from the national heart, lung, and blood pressure (NHLBI) and the American heart association(AHA), metabolic syndrome is diagnosed, COPD staging with PFT. Each patient was included only once in the study. On admission each patients history was taken regarding occupation, smoking, medication (Inhaled corticosteroids and bronchodilators), number of years of treatment, number of acute exacerbation and number of hospital admission in last year were recorded and tabulated. Height, Weight, BMI, Pulse rate, Respiratory rate and blood pressure, ABG, lipid profile, 6minute walk test, mid arm, mid-thigh and waist circumference were recorded and sent for statistical analysis. Result showed the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in our study was 62% and was associated with severe airflow obstruction and low 6 minute walk distance. Coexisting comorbidities also more frequent in these patients.

On 13th December 1986, the famous actor of Indian cinema Mrs. Smita Patil died of child birth complications technically known as puerperal sepsis (HT, 13th Dec, 1986). 36 years later, in 2022, Dr. Archana of Dausa, Rajasthan died by suicide as she was arrested after a pregnant woman died of Post Partum Haemorrhage (PPH) in her private hospital (TNN. March 30th 2022). This clearly reflects the challenge that maternal health throws at the health fraternity. A woman’s struggle in the stage of pregnancy is full of turbulents. The struggle of mothers continues in India even today and that too in the state of UP even on a large scale. The current Maternal Mortality Ratio in India is 103 per 10000 live births & for the state of UP, it is 167 (SRS, 2019). Similarly, the Maternal Mortality Rate of India is 6.5 per 100,000 pregnant women in the age group of 15-49 years where as in UP, it is 14.7 per 100,000 pregnant women in the age group of 15-49 years. The high Maternal Mortality both in India and UP stand as a testimony to this fact as reducing this indicator is a priority. The target of achieving the SDG target of 70 per one lakh live births is a long way. The current article focuses on the initiatives of the role of homoeopathy in public health system to address maternal mortality. Basically, there are three approaches to reduce maternal mortality. These are addressing the three crucial delays related to the maternal mortality. The article focuses exclusively on these approaches while relating to homoeopathy. There are three objectives of the article. The first is to find out the current status of Homoeopathy in the maternal health practices, the second is to find out the details of the current & past implementation strategies in the homoeopathic context and the third is to find out the link between Homoeopathy & maternal health practices. The study uses secondary data. The gap that the article worked on is to explore a link between Homoeopathy & maternal health & its modalities. It deciphers whether there is a functional link currently or not & suggests future strategies based on the functionality of the link. It will be a step in the right direction to fulfill the plans to achieve the maternal health target of SDG by 2030 especially for maternal mortality related goals. For the benefit of the readers, the article includes its expected outcome, relevance to society & policy making through the context of the identified issues & the research gap. Through all these sections, the current article puts an effort to fulfill the three cited objectives of the current study related to incorporation of homoeopathy in maternal care.

Patients upper GI tract for dyspepsia and whoever fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered as study sample. All the findings, previous history and reports of investigations were recorded in a preformed data collection sheet prepared for this purpose. The patient with clinical features suggestive of dyspepsia was selected for upper GI endoscopy. Results: For this purpose, 150 dyspeptic patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled. The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 80 years with the mean age of 43.35 (SD ± 16.30) years. There were 32 (21.3%) patients in the age group of 21 to 30 years, 31 (20.7%) patients in the age group of 31 to 40 years, 30 (20.0%) patients in the age group of 41-50 years, 26 (17.3%) patients in the age group of 51-60 years, 21 (14.0%) patients in the age group of above 60 years and 10 (6.7%) patients in the age group up to 20 years. There were 93 (62.0%) male and 57 (38.0%) female with a ratio of male to female was 163:1. Showed the distribution of patients according to endoscopic findings. Endoscopic findings was normal in 85 (56.7%) patients, duodenal ulcer in 26 (17.3%) patients, gastritis in 23 (15.3%) patients, and gastric ulcer in 16 (10.7%) patients. The distribution of patients according to CLO test. CLO test was positive in 97 (64.7%) patients and negative in 53 (35.3%) patients. The patients according to serum Helicobacter pylori antibody by ELISA. Serum Helicobacter pylori antibody was positive in 101 (67.3%) patients and negative in 49 (32.7%) patients. Stool antigen test was positive in 73 (48.7%) patients and negative in 77 (51.3%) patients. Using CLO test as the gold standard the sensitivity and specificity of stool antigen test in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection was 72.7% and 94.3% respectively. Positive and negative predictive values were 95.9% and 64.9% respectively. The overall accuracy was 80.0%. There was moderate agreement between the two test (Kappa, k=0.603; p<0.001). Using CLO test as the gold standard in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection the sensitivity and specificity of serum Helicobacter pylori antibody was 89.7% and 82.2% respectively. Positive and negative predictive values were 86.1% and 79.6% respectively. The overall accuracy was 84.0%. There was a substantial agreement between the two test (Kappa, k=0.644; p<0.001). Conclusion: The overall accuracy was 80.0%. There was good agreement between the two test (Kappa, k=0.603). Using CLO test as the gold standard in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori infection this study showed that the sensitivity and specificity of serum Helicobacter pylori antibody was 89.7% and 82.2% respectively. Positive and negative predictive values were 88.7% and 100.0% respectively. The overall accuracy was 84.0%.

Cervical ectopic is a life-threatening gynaecological emergency. It is highly prone to severe hemorrhage with maternal morbidity and mortality. It has an incidence of 1% and requires prompt diagnosis. Management is usually individualized and depends on gestational age, presentation severity and the available options and expertise. It could be medical, surgical endoscopically or a combination of treatment. A cervical ectopic in a 32-year-old nullipara who had a negative exploratory laparotomy on account of missed cervical ectopic and later a failed medical management with methotrexate. She subsequently had a dilatation and curettage under spinal anesthesia followed by medical management with repeat three doses of systemic methotrexate due to persistent haemorrhage. She was monitored with a serial level of beta human chorionic gonadotrophins until normal level was attained. Cervical ectopic is a rare form of ectopic gynaecological health workers need to have a high index of suspicion in making diagnosis and prompt intervention instituted. Though there is no standard management protocol, combination therapy of available management options has proven to be effective.

Coriandrum sativum has been used in traditional medicines as an anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antibacterial agent. It is recently been shown to have antioxidant activities. This study evaluated the effects of Flavonoid Rich Fraction of Coriandrum sativum Leaf (FRFCSL) on Lipid Profile, Nitric Oxide, Ang II and Cardio Histopathology in L-NAME intoxicated Experimental Rats. Standard analytical method and DPPH radical scavenging activity were employed for the phytochemicals and antioxidant analysis respectively. The acute toxicity study showed the extract and flavonoids fraction are nontoxic at 5000mg/kg body weight. Thirty rats were divided into five groups of six (6) rats each. Group 1 was administered water and feed only, Group 2 was administered 40mg/kg N-Nitro-L-Arginine Methyl Ester (L-NAME) without treatment, Group 3 through 5 were administered 40mg/kg N-Nitro-L-Arginine Methyl Ester (L-NAME) with concomitant administration of Captopril (20mg/kg b.w), FRFCSL (200mg/kg b.w) and FRFCSL (400mg/kg b.w) respectively for 21 days. In phytochemical screening, presence of flavonoids, saponins, tannins, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, steroids were confirmed as part of secondary metabolites in the extract. The flavonoid fraction showed increase % DPPH radical inhibition in concentration-dependent manner. FRFCSL treatment significantly (p<0.05) and dose-dependently lowered low density lipoprotein and triglycerides. Also It significantly (p<0.05) prevented L-NAME induced decrease in serum angiotensin II, high density lipoprotein and serum nitric oxide concentrations compared to the untreated rats. The Flavonoid Rich Fraction of Coriandrum Sativum Leaf showed great potential as antihypertensive, antihyperlipidemic and cardioprotective agent in rats thus confirming its usefulness in traditional health therapy and potential for antihypertensive drug development.

Background: Cardiotocography (CTG) being a simple noninvasive tool has been used more frequently in recent decades to detect fetal distress & to reduce neonatal mortality &morbidity related to fetal hypoxia. On the other hand, umbilical cord blood gas can be used to detect fetal acidaemia due to fetal distress more accurately. This study aimed to correlate fetal monitoring findings by intrapartum CTG with umbilical cord blood pH & lactate level &test the ability of CTG to predict fetal distress & neonatal outcome. Materials and Methods: This prospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Chittagong Medical College Hospital, Chattogram, Bangladesh for one year from July 2020 to June 2021. It included 80 term singleton pregnancies in active labour. Intrapartum CTG was taken and classified into normal, suspicious and pathological according to FIGO guidelines of CTG monitoring 2015. Mode of delivery, liquor colour, Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes, and admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), adverse neonatal outcomes were observed. Immediately after delivery of the baby 10 cm of the umbilical cord was clamped doubly and 2-3 ml of umbilical cord arterial blood was taken immediately in a pre-heparinized syringe and sent to a laboratory for assessment of pH and lactate to detect fetal acidosis. Antenatal CTG was correlated to neonatal outcomes and cord blood acidosis by statistical analysis. Results: In this study, 40.0% of the women had normal CTG, 38.8% had suspicious CTG, and 21.2% had pathological CTG. There was a significant worsening of neonatal outcomes across these three groups concerning depressed (<7) Apgar scores at 1 minute (40.6%, 80.6%, and 100%; P<0.001), depressed Apgar scores at 5 minutes (3.1%, 22.6%, and 47.1%; P<0.001), and admission to the NICU (9.4%, 38.6%, and 70.7%; P<0.001). When CTG was pathological or suspicious CTG delivery by LSCS was 5.33 times higher (RR: 5.33; 95% CI: 2.09 -13.63) compared to subjects with normal CTG. There was also a progressive worsening of cord blood pH (7.25±0.05, 7.20±0.06, and 7.13±0.09; P<0.001) and a progressive increase in lactate (3.66±1.01 mmol/l, 4.79±1.61 mmol/l, and 6.63±2.18 mmol/l; P<0.001). Conclusions: It should be concluded that pathological CTG which correlates intrapartum fetal hypoxia with cord blood acidaemia and adverse neonatal outcomes. As cardiotocography is a simple, cost-effective noninvasive tool it can be used to detect fetal distress in labour. Continues CTG monitoring can be offered or recommended in every labour room setting to detect fetal distress & early intervention to prevent neonatal morbidity & mortality.
