RESUMO

INTRODUCTION - Lower Gastrointestinal(GI) bleeding refers to blood loss of recent onset originating from a site distal to the ligament of Treitz.1It usually presents as hematochezia i.e. passage of maroon or bright red blood or blood clots per rectum. Lower GI bleeding ( LGIB) accounts for almost 20% of all cases of acute GI bleeding.2 The etiology and the epidemiology of LGIB varies according to the environmental conditions depending upon the life style, dietary habits, the prevalence of smoking, history of drug intake, age and longevity of the population etc.2 Most of the studies pertaining to the etiologies of Lower GI bleeding are from the West. Data relating to the incidence and etiologies of Lower GI bleed in India is scarce hence this study was undertaken to identify the etiological profile of patients presenting with Lower GI bleeding in a tertiary care hospital in the northern part of India. MATERIALS AND METHODS - It is a Cross-sectional study done over a period of 1 year from January, 2018 to December, 2018. All the patients above 18 years of age with first presentation of Lower GI bleeding to the Department of Medicine, SRMS- IMS, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh during the period of study are included in the study. RESULTS - A total of 232 patients meeting the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Majority of the patients were males (69.8%). Hematochezia (86%) was the most common presenting feature and was commonly associated with constipation (46%), abdominal pain (32%) and loss of weight (11%). 8% of the patients had a history of Diabetes. Alcohol consumption was seen in 17% of the patients while 26% of the patients had a history of smoking. The most common etiology of Lower GI bleed seen was Hemorrhoids (35.3%), followed by Inflammatory Bowel disease(16.3%), Malignancy(12%) and Radiation proctosigmoiditis (11.2%). CONCLUSION - LGIB is a common and alarming presenting condition in the practice of gastroenterology. It was found that Lower GI bleed is more common in males, usually in the 3rd to 4th decade of life and most commonly presents with hematochezia. Haemorrhoids, IBD and Malignancy were the major causes of Lower GI bleed.

RESUMO

Calcium sensing receptor (CaR) in duodenal mucosa may be involved in active calcium absorption. Estrogen deficiency results in decreased intestinal calcium absorption. Effects of bilateral oophorectomy (OVX) have been studied on calcium homeostasis, bone mineral density (BMD) and CaR mRNA levels in duodenal mucosa at 4 weeks in adult female Sprague Dawley rats and compared with those in sham-operated and control group. There was no significant change in serum corrected calcium, inorganic phosphorous, calcidiol and intact parathyroid hormone in all the three groups. OVX rats had a significant decline in serum estrogen (E2) levels and alkaline phosphatase. They also had a significant decrease in BMD (DXA) at lumbar spine in vivo, and proximal and distal tibia in vitro while there was no significant change in serum E2 and BMD parameters in sham-operated and control rats. Northern blot analysis revealed no significant change in the CaR mRNA expression in duodenal mucosa in all three groups. The results suggests that CaR mRNA expression in duodenal mucosa is not affected by physiological circulating concentrations of estradiol in rats.

RESUMO

Androgen deprivation is associated with decline in intestinal calcium absorption. The effect of androgen on CaR and VDR intestinal mucosa has not yet been studied. Calcium homeostasis, a real bone mineral density (aBMD, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry) and expression of CaR and VDR mRNA in duodenal mucosa of orchidectomized (ORX) and sham operated (Sham) adult Sprague Dawley rats at 4 week have been studied. There was no significant difference in serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase, calcidiol and calcitriol levels between both the groups. Serum testosterone (T) (ng/dl) and inorganic phosphorous (iP) (mg/dl) levels were significantly lower in ORX rats. As compared to sham rats, ORX rats had significant decline in in-vitro aBMD at proximal, middle and distal tibia, proximal, mid and distal femur and femoral neck (P < 0.05). Northern blot analysis revealed no significant alteration in the CaR and VDR mRNA expression in duodenal mucosa in ORX rats. CaR and VDR mRNA expression in duodenal mucosa is therefore, not affected by physiological concentrations of testosterone in rats.

RESUMO

Fifty nodes of Hodgkin's disease, 50 of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and 20 of reactive hyperplasia revealed varying degree of mast cell reactivity. It was maximum in reactive lymph nodes, sinuses and interfollicular areas being infiltrated more than zones. The number of mast cells was more in nodular sclerosis variety of Hodgkin's disease than other Rye-subtypes, and more in Hodgkin's group than non-Hodgkin's, out of the latter, the diffuse histiocytic lymphoma revealed higher number. Analysis of a larger series and follow-up of these patients are indicated to establish the possible reactionary nature of mast cell reactivity in lymphomas, and the prognostic bearing, if any.

RESUMO

Severely malnourished children (26), weight for age 55.27 +/- 3.17, were identified in a colony of predominantly Muslim urban slum dwellers of low economic status. An equal number of normally nourished children matched for age, sex and per capita income were identified. A strong relation was found between nutritional status of the subjects and educational level of their mothers (P less than 0.025). Father's education was unrelated to childrens' nutritional status. A thirty seven point questionnaire was administered to the mothers to record their nutritional knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP). Analysis revealed that better KAP in relation to 16 of these 37 questions was not associated with better nutritional status. Seven questions were found to have only a weak association. The remaining 14 questions were identified as important for a nutrition education programme. Comparison of nutritional KAP score based on these 14 questions in case of mothers of normal and severely malnourished children revealed a significantly higher score in the former. Questions related to growth monitoring and breast feeding were not found to be important. No significant association was found between mothers' KAP and educational level. It is concluded that (i) Maternal education and KAP are significantly and independently associated with childrens' nutritional status. (ii) The content areas of knowledge, attitudes and practices significantly associated with nutritional status pertain to nutritional requirements of children, nutritional value of foods, immunisation, hygiene, oral rehydration and diarrhea.

RESUMO

Nutritional status of 34 children aged 24-72 months and infected with giardia was compared with that of 92 children matched for age, sex and income and 34 children matched for age, sex, income as well as birth order. Children without giardiasis were found to have better nutritional status in both comparisons. The difference was more pronounced in the second instance. Of the seven anthropometric parameters used for comparison, four were significantly lower (weight, weight for age, midarm circumference and midarm circumference for age), while two (height for age and weight for height) showed nonsignificant childhood malnutrition and that matching for birth order enhances the utility of case-control studies in children.

RESUMO

Ninety patients with aluminum phosphide poisoning have been studied over a period of 3 years. Epigastric pain and vomiting were the common initial clinical features, followed 12 to 24 hours later by cardiogenic shock, oliguria, altered mental state and respiratory distress. Death occurred within 24 to 72 hours presumably due to poison-induced toxic chemical myocarditis as reflected by electrocardiographic changes. The overall mortality was 63.3%. Intravenous magnesium sulphate, probably due to its membrane stabilizing action, appears to be related to the reduction in mortality from 90% to 52% in the latter 62 cases.
