Post-operative hearing loss is a very poorly understood complication in the medical field in general and in the Anesthesiology practice more specifically. This has been observed past three decades and yet, it still is a mystery and unresolved medical condition. Senso-neural hearing loss (SNHL) results in temporary deafness as a side-effect of a puncture during spinal (subarachnoid) anesthesia. Although it is also observed after general anesthesia, but the numbers are much less. In the present study, we report a case of 48 year old man who underwent a surgery for anal fistula incision with spinal anesthesia and complained about the hearing inability in both the ears (bilateral SNHL) started few hours after the surgery. His symptoms improved over a few days’ time with a conservative approach (rest, hydration and increased caffeine intake). There have been other reports on permanent type of hearing loss. Even though in a majority of cases, the patients recover, considering the threats from the minority, we believe that it is the responsibility of the medical staff to be aware of the patients’ condition before undertaking such surgeries and anesthesia
Sudden demonetization of 500 and 1000 rupee notes forming a major portion of circulating currency by the Indian Government in November, 2016 is a daring step in the national interest. It created an instant chaos in the country. Besides inflicting a major blow to holders of unaccounted money and counterfeit currency, it also caused suffering for the common man. It was opposed by some on this ground. Many felt that if a short-term suffering was the price for a substantial long-term gain, it would be justified. The present study is based on secondary data from an extensive consultation of sources of information on this topic. It attempts to analyze the pros & cons and the rationale for demonetization. Amidst conflicting ideologies, politics, and self-interests dividing intellectuals, leaders and economists on this move, an unbiased approach to study the available literature on demonetization and to arrive at conclusions has been made. After short-term set-back the long term benefits are showing up. A comprehensive survey of the long-term outcomes is beyond the scope and time-frame of this study, but is a fertile ground for future research. The learning from the study would offer guidance for reforms through demonetization and the needed course-corrections. Other developing, emerging and developed economies would gain useful insights from this study when contemplating such measures

Abstract: Polyhydramnios is an important obstetric complication with increased maternal morbidity. Undoubtedly, ultrasound is the best means to diagnose polyhydramnios USG has revolutionized the process of assessment of amniotic fluid thus becoming an integral part of fetal surveillance. In a low resource health facility as India with poor coverage of antenatal care and malnutrition it still becomes more important to screen pregnancies for such high risk factors. To determine the incidence and to assess the maternal outcome in patients diagnosed to have polyhydramnios in singleton pregnancies. The present study was conducted in Guahati Medical College for a period of one year from July 2017 to June 2018. All the patients were identified as having polyhydramnios using Largest pocket diameter method. The incidence of polyhydramnios in singleton pregnancy during the study period was 1.04 %. Majority of cases (76.61%) were mild, 14.03% moderate and 9.36 % severe polyhydramnios. Most common etiology was found to be idiopathic 69% followed by congenital anomalies19.8% and Diabetes Mellitus 10.52% Out of 171cases, 9 case was an abortion out of which 8 was induced due to fetal anomaly, 37 cases had preterm vaginal deliveries, 59 cases had full term vaginal deliveries, 66 cases had cesarean section. The most common maternal complication encountered was preterm labour and the most common malpresentations was breech. The study gives us the understanding of the impact of polyhydramnios on maternal outcome.

Abstract: Pre-eclampsia, is an obstetric disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria that prevails all over the world. It presents as a pressing peril for fetal and maternal lives. Though inflammation, increased levels of TXA2, ischemic placenta, dysfunction of endothelium are discerned, the exact pathophysiology yet remains a mystery. The absolute treatment is still to be discovered, however its prevention by low dose aspirin and calcium supplementation present as promising preventative measures for pre-eclampsia. To observe the effect of aspirin and calcium in prevention of preeclampsia. This was a prospective clinical trial study for evaluation of role of aspirin and calcium in prevention of pre-eclampsia in primigravidas. It was carried out at department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at AL-Wahda hospital Derna from Jan 2016 to Dec 2016. Three hundred and forty four primigravidae were included in the study. Their age ranged from 16 to 45 years with a mean 26.32 ± 4.88 years. Out of the 344 healthy primigravidae, 63 (18.3 %) developed preeclampsia. Both (aspirin and calcium) supplementations were associated with a reduction preeclampsia. There was significant difference between the group taken both (aspirin & calcium) group and prevent pre-eclampsia (X2= 6.07, P= 0.014).

Workplace turnover is destructive to nursing and patient outcomes as it leads to
losing competent and qualified nurses. However, developments of coping strategies
demand a clear understanding of workplace variables that either motivates nurses to
remain employed or lead them to leave their current jobs. This study assessed the
relationship between socio-demographic characteristics of members of nursing staff and
their job satisfaction as well as perceived factors influencing turnover among nurses in
Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital Zaria, Nigeria. Cross-sectional study design
was carried out on 304 nurses using quantitative data collection methods from 8th April,
2016 – 22nd April, 2016. The respondent’s age ranged between 20-63 years with a mean
age of 39±10.97 years. Age, gender, marital status; and job satisfaction yielded a nonstatistical significant, weak and positive correlation with job satisfaction. Number of years
worked, professional experience and unit of primary assignment were the only sociodemographic characteristics found to be significant predictors of job satisfaction in
ABUTH (P < 0.05). Insufficient cohesion with colleagues, poor safety of the work
environment; undervalued nurse’s opinion by medical staff and poor professional image of
nursing were identified as perceived factors positively influencing nurse’s intension to
leave the hospital. The study suggests that nurses’ opinion should be respected by other
professionals and nurses professional practice judgement should not be relegated on the
bases of sentiments.

The property of iron to get reversibly oxidized and reduced is essential for its metabolic functions. Severe iron deficiency can produce cardiovascular disease. Wide range of biochemical markers are implicated in the pathogenesis of anaemia like Serum Ferritin, Malondialdehyde and Homocysteine. The purpose of the study is to assess serum ferritin, homocysteine and plasma malondialdehyde levels in Iron deficiency anaemic patients and to find whether anaemic patients are prone to cardiovascular disease or not. A case control study was carried out at Lata Mangeshkar hospital, Nagpur in which serum malondialdehyde and homocysteine levels measured in 30 diagnosed patients of Iron deficiency anaemia in the age from 19 to 40 years were compared with healthy controls. Malondialdehyde was estimated by the method of Randox laboratory. Serum homocysteine was measured by using ELISA kits. The data was analysed for correlation between levels of homocysteine and malondialdehyde with serum ferritin in patients of Iron deficiency anaemia. Serum malondialdehyde levels in patients with Iron deficiency anaemia were higher i.e. 0.680+0.349 (ng/ml) than in controls which were 0.144+0.102 (ng/ml) with a statistically significant value of p <0.05.Statistically, there was also a significant rise in homocysteine levels in patients with Iron deficiency anaemia i.e.76.105+16.836(ng/ml) as compared to 27.57+12.11 (ng/ml) in controls. An inverse relation exists between serum ferritin and markers of oxidative stress. Iron deficiency anaemic patients have elevated levels of malondialdehyde and homocysteine than the control group and both these parameters may be common mediators in the pathogenesis of accelerated atherosclerosis.

Abstract: Caesarean scar Pregnancy (CSP) implanted in the caesarean section scar is a rare location among ectopic pregnancies that can be life-threatening. It can be classified at the same level of gravity as the placenta accreta. Hysterectomy is the gold standard treatment for massive bleeding. The diagnosis of pregnancy implanted in the caesarean section scar is a difficult diagnosis of the first trimester. It must be done as early as possible. Clinical manifestations are not specific, bleeding and pain is the most common symptoms. Endovaginal and pelvic ultrasound associated with Doppler is the first-line examination, provides optimal and panoramic vision, and studies reports of the gestational sac and its vasculature. Recent studies report the value of MRI in diagnosis because of its affinity for the study of pelvic tissue and the relationship of structures. The treatment remains non-consensual but it appears that the injection of methotrexate in situ by preferring the vaginal route is effective and not very morbid. We present here the case of a patient with CSP whose diagnosis was initially unknown.
