ABSTRACT
Introduction: Prevalence of migraine is higher in womenthan men.Incidence of menstrual migraine is more incomparison to premenstrual migraine.Migraine is a complexcondition with headache and sensory disturbances. This studywas carried out to analyze the incidence of different type ofmenstrual migraine in varying age group.Material and methods: In this study 155 women of agegroup 17 to 31 years taken. They were complaining of at leasttwo times migraine attack per month during menstrual cycle.They were advised to record the day of migraine i.e. on 5thdays before menstruation, 2 days before menstruation and 1stday of menstruation to 3 days following bleedingwith historyof headache, severity, attack duration and disability at workand association with aura or without aura, for 3 months.Thestatistical analysis was done under SPSS software by usingchi-square test.Results: We found that severe attacks occurred during thepremenstrual phase i.e. 5 days before onset of menstruationand it is more severe before 2 days of onset of menstruation.The severity of migraine in age group (17-21) years is higherthan other age groups. The incidence of migraine duringmenstrual period is more in comparison with the premenstrualperiod.Relative incidence of only migraine during menstrualperiod is found more i.e.70.09%, whereas migraine with aurafound more in premenstrual period, i.e.75%.Conclusion: The incidence of migraine in female increasesduring adolescent period and peaks during menarche due todelay in decline of oestrogen level. So preventive measures formigraine can be taken by individual awareness, establishmentof a stable oestrogen state and use of non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents.
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Women play a pivot role in the family andsociety. Pregnancy constitutes one of the most severe states ofphysiological adaptation. This study was carried out to assessthe flow rate during pregnancy and compare with those ofnon-pregnant women.Material and methods: In this study 120 pregnant womenwithin the age group of 20 years to 40 years, from differenttrimester of pregnancy without having any cardio-respiratorydiseases were selected. Forty non-pregnant women of sameage group were taken as control.Results: The present study clearly indicates that there isgradual decrease of peak expiratory flow rate compared withthe control group, which is significantly marked from first tosecond trimester, but this decline is not very much markedfrom second to third trimester of pregnancy. This may be dueto enlarging gravid uterus, increased progesterone, whichcause relaxation of smooth muscle.Conclusion: Thus the above informations useful for reportingof PFT, better antenatal care, assessment of fitness foranaesthesia, progress of pre-existing lung diseases whichultimately confirms diagnosis and to start treatment.
ABSTRACT
Background: Cervical complete molar pregnancy is very rare and fatal and surgical intervention makes it lethal. Case report: A 37 years G2P1L1 with previous cesarean section 4 years back, had presented with brisk vaginal bleeding after evacuation at private hospital 2 days back. She was admitted in labor room,VSS Medical College, Burla at 9 pm on 22.04.2012 as an emergency case. USG report which was done at our institute, showed cervical invasive mole with right ovarian cyst. She was managed with methotrexate and no other intervention was required, as her serum b-hCG was declining. Now, she is having a normal pregnancy. Conclusion: Surgical intervention in such situations is very fatal. We propose her to go for a fertility sparing medical management.
ABSTRACT
Traditionally, overt hypothyroidism cases during pregnancy have been treated due to its adverse effect on fetus as well as on mother. Evidences are now available for the need of treatment of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) during pregnancy. SCH is the commonest form of hypothyroidism in pregnancy and is usually due to progressive thyroid destruction due to autoimmune thyroid disease. The prevalence and incidence of SCH is found to be more in South Asia than other parts of the world. This review revealed that screening should be mandatory followed by identification of antithyroid antibody positive cases because they require treatment with oral levothyroxine.
ABSTRACT
Ectopic eruption in to dental component is common, where as eruption into other site is rare. anatomical areas such as palate, maxillary sinuses and nasal cavity can infrequently be the site of ectopic tooth eruption . one of the non dental sites for ectopic eruption is the maxillary sinus. Here, we present a case of dentigerous cyst with an ectopic maxillary canine located in maxillary sinus roof below the floor of the orbit in a 8-years-old boy.
