Authors: Nisa Qamar un , Akbar Saima
Published: February 2025

OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of pyrexia among women presenting with premature rupture of membranes.
MATERIAL & METHODS: It was a descriptive (Cross-Sectional) study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Rehman Medical institute, Peshawar over a period of four years between 1st Jan 2015 to 31st Dec 2018.  A total of 546 patients were included using Non-Probability (Consecutive) Sampling technique including women in the reproductive age between 15 and 50 years of age, with single pregnancy and diagnosed with PROM. Mercurial thermometer was used to obtain the core body temperature.
RESULTS: The patients were included in four major groups (Group 1(15 to 19years), Group 2 (20 to 29 years), Group 3 (30 to 39 years) and Group 4 (40 to 55 years). The average age of the patients was 28.62±5.9SD. The highest frequency of fever was observed in group 1 (25%) whereas the least was seen in the group 4 (11.11%). A total of 14.76% of patients in group 2 and 13.86% of patients in group 3 had documented fever with PROM.
CONCLUSION: The presence of fever can be a useful guide in identifying those vulnerable females with PROM but the absence of fever is by no means a surety that treating Obstetrician can ignore the presence of PROM.

Authors: Qazi Muhammad Uzair , Anwar Ghulam Rabbani , Mehr Muhammad Tariq , Ishfaq Muhammmad
Published: February 2025

Hemophilia B is a disorder of coagulation due to deficiency or dysfunction of factor IX. It is characterized by provoked or spontaneous bleeding episodes, most commonly in the joints and muscles. Patients with hemophilia are at a lower risk of developing venous thromboembolism as compared to the normal population. However, when enough risk factors culminate, these patients can develop deep venous thrombosis and related sequelae. In the setting of hemophilia, the management of DVT becomes challenging due to the risk of increased bleeding tendency. Here we present a case of a young gentleman with hemophilia B who developed lower limb DVT complicated by lumbosacral plexopathy.

Authors: Sherazi Farida , Naz Irum , Afridi Rifayat Ullah , Ambareen Aneela , Iqbal Fatima , Iqbal Sahar
Published: February 2025

Objective: To find out the frequency of typhoid in patients presetting with high grade fever and to find the multiple drug resistance (MDR) and extensively drug resistance (XDR) in a diagnosed case of typhoid.
Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at Pediatrics department Naseer Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. All the participants were enrolled using non-probability sampling, their symptoms, clinical signs, blood culture and culture sensitivities were recorded. Data was analyzed using the statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 21.
Results: A total of 166 participants were included in the study.  Out of these 71 patients significantly had a positive blood culture. ( p value = <0.001) Sensitivity for generations of antibiotics was also studied which showed Trimethoprim, Ceftriaxone, Chloramphenicol and Ampicillin to be least sensitive. Azithromycin, Meropenem and Imipenem were more sensitive. Most of patients were XDR  35 (49.3%).
Conclusion: Since in pediatric population fever is a very common complaint, typhoid disease should be suspected and ruled out as a differential especially in patients presenting with fever without localizing signs (FWLS). Also, in order to counter extensive drug resistance the importance of planned appropriate dosing of antibiotics must be emphasized at all levels of healthcare.

Published: February 2025

Urbanization is an impact of great importance and relevance to society, but population growth, land occupation and climatic phenomena have exacerbated the challenges of water supply around the world. The use of rainwater for non-potable purposes is an alternative that can be adopted in regions where there is a poor distribution of rainfall per year. This work aims to study the sizing of rainwater reservoirs for non-potable purposes at the Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri (UFVJM), campus Mucuri. Therefore, a survey of data on the volume of abstraction was carried out, rainfall data and project characteristics were obtained. After obtaining the results, the choice of the 300 m³ reservoir volume was defined, since this volume shows the proximity between the Rippl and Simulation methods. The study on the use of rainwater for non-potable use (cleaning and irrigation) allowed the establishment of a water saving potential of 20%, meeting the expected annual demand, indicating that the implementation of this system is a viable alternative.

Authors: Rima Umme Sale
Published: February 2025

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes mellitus (DM) are two major public health concerns, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. The co-existence of these conditions complicates treatment outcomes and increases morbidity and mortality. Despite the growing burden of TB-DM co-infection, data on its clinical profile, treatment adherence, and associated risk factors in Bangladesh remain limited. Objective: This study aims to assess the sociodemographic characteristics, clinical profiles, treatment adherence, and predictors of poor treatment outcomes among elderly TB patients with diabetes in Bangladesh. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Ad-din Barrister Rafique-ul Huq Hospital, Dhaka, from January to December 2023. A total of 130 TB patients aged ≥60 years with co-existing diabetes were included. Data were collected from Ad-din Medical College and Hospital, Magbajar, Dhaka through structured interviews, medical record reviews, and laboratory investigations. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and logistic regression were performed to identify significant associations, with a p-value of <0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: The majority of participants were male (64.6%) and aged 60-64 years (32.3%). 64.6% of patients had uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c ≥7.0%), and 20.8% had multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB). Hypertension (54.6%) and cardiovascular disease (32.3%) were the most common comorbidities. Poor treatment adherence was observed in 29.2% of patients, which was significantly associated with unfavorable treatment outcomes (p<0.001). Logistic regression revealed that MDR-TB (AOR: 5.01, p<0.001) and uncontrolled diabetes (AOR: 4.12, p<0.001) were the strongest predictors of poor outcomes. Conclusion: TB-DM co-infection is associated with high rates of poor glycemic control, MDR-TB, and treatment non-adherence, leading to adverse outcomes. Integrated management strategies focusing on early detection, glycemic control, and adherence counseling are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

This is a new phenomenon, because people playing in the yard of the office of the National Road Implementation Center of the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing, West Sulawesi, seem to have become a new community that has never existed before. No less interesting is that those playing in the office yard on the arterial road are people who come from other places, or are not employees of the office that has the gateball field.
There is another interesting thing, that it is regularly scheduled, local matches are held regularly every month. Finally, as time went by, several other agencies in the West Sulawesi Provincial Government took part in playing actively every day in the field. Researchers explore the possibility that there is an influence of gateball games on work motivation so that employee discipline increases.

South Asia, which is home to nearly a quarter of the world’s population, is on the brink of a major environmental crisis. Climate change is not a distant phenomenon here but a stark reality that is already disrupting food security, human health, and the socio-economic fabric of the region. The diverse landscape of the region—from the towering Himalayas to the fertile deltas and long coastlines—are highly sensitive to the impacts of climate variability. In recent years, the vulnerability of South Asia to extreme weather events has significantly increased, with rising temperatures and humidity, erratic monsoon patterns, and frequent landslides and floods threatening its agricultural systems, human livelihoods, and overall development becoming the norm. As the region grapples with these challenges, the need for immediate action to build resilience to climate disasters and enhance food security has become more urgent than ever.

Bangladesh faces several climatic hazards/disasters due to its geographical location. The country suffers from natural disasters regularly, resulting in the loss of human life and livelihoods and the forced migration of people or whole communities to nearby areas. Research was conducted in the three coastal districts: Barguna, Patuakhali, and Cox's Bazar with the following goals: 1. To identify the causes of coastal climate-induced displacement; and 2. To identify the socioeconomic elements that contribute to forced migration. 3. Determine probable areas of Bangladeshi coastal relocation due to climate change. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods is used for the study. Primary data was collected from the Household Questionnaire Survey, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and Key Informant Interview (KII) with relevant people and institutions. In addition, secondary data and relevant policies, documents, and books were reviewed from different sources. The study findings reveal that frequent cyclones, flooding, erosion, loss of land, and crop production are the primary causes of climate displacement in coastal areas. Internal migration and external migration are both common situations found in the three coastal districts. Increasing temperatures, drought, and losing crops in the Varendra regions are the leading causes of internal migration. The paper reveals that the coastal region of Patuakhali has the highest displacement threat, where ~39.6% of the people said that they would be interested in migrating immediately.
