Authors: Lal Shreya , Chandra Satish , Choudhury Subhankar , Gari Manju 
Published: February 2020

BACKGROUND : The aim of this study was to compare effectiveness, safety and tolerability of azilsartan and telmisartan in terms of their blood pressure lowering capacity, effect on hematological and biochemical profile and side effects respectively in patients of essential hypertension.
METHODS : This was an observational, prospective, open label, randomized, parallel study. The study was conducted after getting approval from the ethics committee at RIMS, Ranchi. Total sample size was 108. Blood pressure recordings, hematologic and biochemical investigations were done at the beginning of study and at every visit according to study design. The first group was prescribed tablet azilsartan 40mg once daily and the other tablet telmisartan 40 mg once daily at the beginning. Each patient was followed for 12 weeks and total study duration was 1 year.
RESULTS : The treatment arms showed significant reduction (p<0.05) in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure at the end of study period, although while doing inter-group comparison, the difference was not significant. Safety profile of both drugs was similar. Notable side-effects included fatigue and dizziness apart from headache.
CONCLUSION : Azilsartan and telmisartan reduced the blood pressure significantly in 12 weeks when compared from the baseline, but the reduction was similar when an intergroup comparison was done. The drugs did not adversely affect the haematologic and biochemical parameters. Few side-effects were reported but these were mild in nature and did not require any specific intervention.

Mosquitoes have a very important meaning in the health sector because of their role as vectors of various diseases. Diseases transmitted by mosquitoes include dengue fever, malaria and filariasis. These three diseases are transmitted from one person to another through vector intermediaries. Vector is a creature that acts as an intermediary for transmitting diseases. Tebing Tinggi Village is a densely populated area. The density of the population as well as the constraints of clean water make a lot of water reservoirs to store daily water needs. This can potentially be a breeding ground for mosquito larvae. This study was conducted to determine the density of mosquito larvae, to find out the percentage of house index and container index. This study used a visual method, with a cross sectional approach. Based on the results of research from 18 houses (19.78%) that were larvae positive from 91 houses examined and found 22 containers (5.78%) positive larvae from 380 containers examined. 331 containers of larvae were found in the reservoir of deep water as much as 18 containers (5.43%) and as many as 49 containers of larvae were found in the external water reservoir (12.24%). The density of mosquito larvae in Tebing Tinggi area is categorized as being with density figures 3 and 4. The amount on the surface of the presence of mosquito larvae in water reservoirs in the house should the community pay more attention to the cleanliness of water reservoirs and to close water storage so that they are not breeding grounds.

Published: February 2020

Berbagai sikap pro kontra yang diberikan masyarakat terhadap pelaku poligami baik dari kalangan perempuan ataupun dari kalangan pria, dan tidak sedikit yang menentang perilaku poligami, namun tidak sedikit pula yang mendukung praktek poligami. Sewaktu sebuah perkawinan poligami dilakukan di luar ketentuan hukum yang berlaku berarti norma-norma hukum tentang poligami telah dilanggar oleh orang-orang yang bersangkutan. Dengan demikian akan menimbulkan konsekuensi hukum yang berupa sanksi pidana. Merujuk kepada Undang-Undang Perkawinan, jelas tidak memberikan sanksi pidana terhadap pelaku perkawinan poligami karena tidak memuat ketentuan pidananya karena orang-orang yang melakukan poligami tanpa melalui prosedur yang telah ditetapkan oleh Undang-undang perkawinan. Namun pengaturan perkawinan poligami yang tidak sesuai dengan aturan hukum Undang-Undang Perkawinan tersebut diatur di dalam Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Pidana (selanjutnya disebut KUHP) yang mana perbuatan tersebut disebut tindak pidana perkawinan. Melalui karya ilmiah memberikan tujuan menjelaskan menganalisis penerapan sanksi pidana terhadap pelaku perkawinan poligami dalam perspektif perundang-undangan Indonesia dan hambatan dalam penerapan sanksi pidana terhadap pelaku perkawinan poligami.

Published: February 2020

Objective: The introduction of a Longo’s technique for the treatment of haemorrhoids has the potential for less postoperative pain, a short operating time, rapid healing and an early return to full activity. The outcome of Longo’s technique was compared with that of current standard surgery in a randomized controlled study, and followed up two years.
Methods: In a prospective randomized study, 140 patients requiring surgical treatment for haemorrhoids grade 2, 3 and 4 were assigned to either MMF (Milligan-Morgan, Park Ferguson) or PPH (Procedure for prolapse and haemorrhoids) 70 each. Operating time, frequency of postoperative analgesic intake, hospital stay, time to return to normal activity and postoperative complications were also recorded.
Results: The Longo’s group had a shorter operating time, less frequent postoperative analgesia intake, and earlier return to normal activity. Postoperative pain at rest and during defecation was less important after PPH if no resection of external piles or skin tags was associated. After a mean follow-up of 24 months (12-46), recurrent haemorrhoidal symptoms, mostly mild and temporary, were reported after both MMF and PPH (Table-3). Four patients (5.71 %) complained of recurrent prolapse and/or external swelling after PPH, requiring re-do surgery in 3 of them between 18 to 32 months. Recurrent prolapse or external piles were also observed in 5 patients (7.14%) after MMF and re-do surgery was needed in 3 of them between 14 and 41 months. Long term patient's satisfaction after PPH was more or less same like after MMF. None of the patients had anal stenosis, incontinence, fecal urgency or sepsis.
Conclusions: Postoperative pain is less after PPH. This advantage disappears if any resection is associated with the stapling. Use of a Longo's technique in the treatment of haemorrhoidal disease promotes rapid healing, shorter hospital stay and early return to normal activities.

Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is one of the treatment modalities of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients. There are multiple selection criteria for CABG and multiple procedures like conventional CABG, on pump beating heart CABG and off pump beating heart CABG (OPCAB). This study was intended to compare between conventional CABG and on pump beating heart CABG. Total 60 patients were selected for the study, of which 30 patients had undergone conventional CABG and 30 had undergone on pump beating heart CABG. Different preoperative and postoperative variables shows clear and significant superiority of on pump beating heart CABG. So it may be an alternative surgical procedure where OPCAB is not feasible in poor left ventricular (LV) .function.

Published: February 2020

Despite significant improvement in the management strategy, pancreatic cancer continues to be a great challenge for surgeons and oncologists. Length of survival largely depends upon stage at diagnosis and a completeness of resection. Distal pancreatectomy with RO resection has been reported as a favorable method in selected pancreatic body and tail tumors. Additional organ resections are rarely required. A young woman was diagnosed with a tumor in the body and tail of the pancreas that required splenectomy in addition to dista1 pancreatectomy. Postoperative course was uneventful. Histopathology revealed the tumor as moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma with extensive areas of necrosis, haemorrhage and cholesterol cleft formation. Resected end of pancreas was free of tumor. She has completed a course of chemotherapy and is doing well after 8 months of surgery.
