Résumé

Purpose: Coping strategies employed by people with visual disability can influence their quality of life (QoL). We aimed to assess coping in patients with low vision or blindness. Methods: In this descriptive cross sectional study, 60 patients (25–65 years) with <6/18 best-corrected vision (BCVA) in the better eye and vision loss since ?6 months were recruited after the institutional ethics clearance and written informed consent. Age, gender, presence of other chronic illness, BCVA, coping strategies (Proactive Coping Inventory, Hindi version), and vision-related quality of life (VRQoL; Hindi version of IND-VFQ33) were recorded. Range, mean (standard deviation) for continuous and proportion for categorical variables. Pearson correlation looked at how coping varied with age and with VRQoL. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test compared coping scores across categorical variables. Statistical significance was taken at P < 0.05. Results: Sixty patients fulfilled inclusion criteria. There were 33 (55%) women; 25 (41.7%) had low vision, 5 (8.3%) had economic blindness, and 30 (50.0%) had social blindness; 27 (45.0%) had a co-morbid chronic illness. Total coping score was 142 ± 26.43 (maximum 217). VRQoL score (maximum 100) was 41.9 ± 15.98 for general functioning; 32.1 ± 12.15 for psychosocial impact, and 41.1 ± 17.30 for visual symptoms. Proactive coping, reflective coping, strategic planning, and preventive coping scores correlated positively with VRQoL in general functioning and psychosocial impact. Conclusion: Positive coping strategies are associated with a better QoL. Ophthalmologists who evaluate visual disability should consider coping mechanisms that their patients employ and should refer them for counseling and training in more positive ways of coping.

Résumé

One hundred and six consecutive patients (old and newly diagnosed) attending the leprosy clinic at Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Delhi, underwent a detailed ophthalmic examination to identify factors associated with the prevalence of sight threatening lesions of leprosy so as to delineate a sub-group of patients who should continue under active ophthalmic surveillance to prevent blindness. All of them were receiving multidrug therapy as recommended by WHO. Demographic data, systemic parameters and ophthalmic lesions attributable to the disease were endorsed on to a proforma. The data were analysed by chi-square test, discriminant analysis and multivariate regression analysis to isolate factors that could be associated with sight threatening lesions of leprosy. In 106 leprosy patients 212 eyes were examined; sight threatening lesions were found in 37 eyes (17.4%). The comea was involved most commonly (78.3%). The lesions were still present in 15.8% of patients who had completed multidrug therapy. Leprosy related visual impairment was seen in 2.3% eyes and blindness in 0.9% eyes. Factors significantly associated with sight threatening lesions included female gender, multibacillary leprosy, increasing duration of leprosy, thickened corneal nerves, subepithelial punctate corneal opacities and presence of any academic lesion of leprosy. On multivariate and discriminant analysis, female gender, thickened corneal nerves and duration of leprosy > 7 years were significantly associated with sight threatening lesions.

Résumé

This study is based on entry criteria of visual findings of the upper gastro-intestinal fibre-optic endoscopy performed on 100 patients suffering from acid peptic disease (dyspepsia). The diagnostic criteria and grading of reflux oesophagitis advocated by Savary and Miller have been adopted. Reflux oesophagitis was found in 43 cases having grade I oesophagitis in 48.84%, grade II in 32.56%, grade III in 14.00% and grade IV in 4.60% cases. Reflux oesophagitis was associated with hiatus hernia in 23.26%, chronic gastritis in 9.30% of cases. The age varied from 16-80 years with almost equal incidence of male and female, and the severity of the disease increased with the advancement of age. Endoscopy is advised in every case of dyspepsia before any treatment is initiated.

Résumé

One hundred testicular biopsies performed during the period of 1983-90 were reviewed to reappraise the value and utility of testicular biopsy in cases of male infertility. All the biopsies were categorised into the following 7 types and their relative incidences were determined. There were 16% normal cases. Hypospermatogenesis was found in 42% cases, maturation arrest in 18% cases, Sertoli cell-only syndrome in 17% cases, Klinefelter's syndrome in 3% cases, orchitis in 3% cases and tubular sclerosis in 1% case. Testicular biopsy findings were correlated with semen analysis reports. Azoospermia was represented by all the above 7 types whereas oligospermia was represented hypospermatogenesis and maturation arrest varieties. Testicular biopsy is most useful in azoospermia but its value is limited in oligospermia.
