Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease and is associated with considerable morbidity. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been chosen as a potential marker of inflammation in SLE.
Objective: To evaluate the role of NLR as an independent predictor of SLE activity.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional comparative study conducted in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2016 to June 2017. In this study, 30 SLE patients, aged 18 to 55 years, were considered as the study group and 30 aged matched healthy subjects were considered as control group. SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) score was used to assess disease activity.NLR and ESR was estimated. Independent samples t-test, Chi Square test, Pearson’s correlation co-efficient (r) test, Regression analysis and ROC curve analysis were performed as applicable. 95% confident interval was calculated and p value <0.05 was accepted as level of significance.
Results: In this study, NLR was significantly (p=0.003) higher in SLE patients than control. SLEDAI score was 10 (1-18) and majority (19; 63.33%) of the SLE patients had SLEDAI score >9 (active disease). NLR was significantly (p=0.001) increased more in active SLE than inactive SLE and showed a significant association among NLR and active disease (OR; 6.56, 95% CI; 1.26 to 34.20, p=0.001). NLR was positively correlated with SLEDAI score and ESR in patients with SLE. The optimal NLR cutoff value of 2.2 had 95% sensitivity and73% specificity {AUC = 0.957, 95% CI, 0.892–1.000, p = <0.001}.
Conclusion: This study concludes that NLR is significantly increased in SLE patients and can be served as an independent predictor of SLE activity.

Published: September 2024

Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis is the leading cause of reno-vascular hypertension and is prevalent in elderly patients (over 65 years) and those with resistant hypertension. This article presents a case report of a 60-year-old gentleman who presented with resistant hypertension resulting in heart failure and significant morbidity. The patient's medical history included frequent hospitalizations with uncontrolled hypertension, flash pulmonary edema and heart failure. Despite multiple hospitalizations, the underlying cause of his condition remained unrecognized until further investigation revealed left sided renal artery stenosis as the culprit lesion. Successful renal artery angioplasty resulted in the resolution of the patient's high blood pressure and improvement of general well-being. This case highlights the potential for resistant hypertension due to renal artery stenosis to be overlooked, particularly in patients with multiple comorbidity. It is important to consider the possibility of renal artery stenosis in patients with uncontrolled blood pressure with recurrent pulmonary oedema, not responding to multiple anti-hypertensive drugs in the highest possible dose.

Published: September 2024

Background: Poisoning cases are still neglected in our society. Recent studies have revealed the increasing trend of poisoning and snake bite patients, which may be a big challenge shortly. This study was carried out to observe the epidemiological profile of acute poisoning and snake bite in northeastern Bangladesh and to evaluate the risk factors, patterns and mortality.
Methods: Data was collected from the emergency admission registrar of Sylhet MAG Osmani Medical College Hospital with a history of poisoning or snake bite from 1st January 2022 to 30th September 2022. Then indoor ward registers were used to see the outcomes.
Results: 774 patients were admitted in the last nine months. Among them, 707 were poisoning cases (406 males and 301 females), and 67(48 males and 19 females) were snake bites. We found 201 (28%) patients with unknown poisoning, and 167 (24%) were OPC poisoning. Other poisoning types were drug overdose (sedative, paracetamol, antipsychotic, anti-depressant and anti-hypertensive) and corrosive poisoning (Herpic, Dettol, Savlon, Detergent, Soap, Household Cleaning Materials, and paraquat). Though less frequent (11 cases), parquet poisoning was the most fatal. Regarding, Snakebite, 16 (24%) were venomous, and 44 (66%) were non-venomous. At last, we observed 45 deaths (Poisoning 40 and Snakebite 5).
Conclusion: Both poisoning and snake bite cases are important in the clinical context of every tertiary care hospital like ours. To reduce this burden, we should focus on the risk factors. At the same time, proper treatment guideline is necessary even in the rural setup to ensure initial life-saving care.

Published: September 2024

Background: Incidences of osteoporosis and diabetes have dramatically increased in recent decades and they have become one of the major health problems.Osteoporosis is a skeletal condition characterized by decreased density (mass/volume) of normally mineralized bone. The reduced bone density leads to decreased mechanical strength, thus making the skeleton more likely to fracture. This study aimed to assess the pattern of bone mineral density in Bangladeshi postmenopausal women.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of medicine, Sir Salimullah Medical College, Mitford, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study duration was 1 year; from January 2021 to January 2022. A total of 100 women attending the Outpatient Department of Medicine were included in this study as per inclusion criteria. A convenience sampling technique was applied for this study.A pre-formed questionnaire was used for necessary data collection containing general characteristics, presence or absence of risk factors, BMI status, and BMD. Qualitative data were analyzed by Chi-square test & quantitative data were analyzed by student’s t-test. All statistical analyses were performed by using SPSS Software version 20. Informed written consent was obtained from all subjects.
Results: In this study, a maximum (of 36, 36.0%) patients belonged to the age group of 50-59 years, followed by (33, 33.0%) 60-69 years age group. Regarding education, most patients (70, 70.0%) had a secondary school certificate or below that level, followed by higher secondary level (25, 25.0%). Concerning years since menopause, 27.0% of patients had menopause since 20-29 years, followed by 25.0% of subjects had menopause since 10-19 years.Regarding BMI, 20.0% of patients had <23 kg/m2, 24.0% 23.1-25.99 kg/m2, 25.0% 26-29.99 kg/m2, and 31.0% ≥30 kg/m2.Concerning risk factors, 45.0% of patients had a history of taking medication containing estrogen, 40.0% of patients had DM, and 18.0% of patients had a history of taking thyroid hormone.Prevalence of osteopenia and osteoporosis was seen in 33.0% and 8.0% of patients respectively concerning BMD proximal femur and spine DXA. Moreover, concerning DXA at the lumbar spine, hip, and total body osteopenia and osteoporosis were 50.0% and 30.0% respectively.
Conclusion: This study suggests that advancing age and menopausal condition are an important risk factor for the occurrence of low BMD.

Published: September 2024

Background:Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a worldwide, one of most prevalent mental disorder and associated with autonomic dysfunction. Poincaré plot of heart rate variability (HRV) is anonlinear method to assess cardiac autonomic nerve function (CANF).Lemongrass (Cymbopogoncitratus) essential oil (LEO) has been reported with anxiolytic effect and autonomic improvement in human. Objective: To assess the effect of LEO inhalation on CANF in female patients with GAD by analysis of poincaré plot of HRV.Method: This Quasi experimental study was conducted on 60 newly diagnosed female GAD patients with 20-40 years of age. Among them, 30 patients were treated with LEO inhalation for 15 min for once a week for one month (30days)along conventional treatment and 30 patients were without LEO inhalation and continued only conventional treatment for 30days.Thirty (30) apparently healthy subjects were control group.HRV data of all patients and control were recorded at baseline and after 30days of intervention or follow up respectively. HRV was recorded by a data acquisition device, Power Lab 8/35 and Poincaré plot analysis was done by lab chart software. For statistical analysis ANOVA followed by post-hoc test and paired sample ‘t’ test were done.Results: In this study, at baseline, the standard deviation of the short-term RR interval variability (minor axis of the cloud, SD1),the standard deviation of the long-term RR interval variability (major axis of the cloud, SD2) and SD1/SD2 were found significantly lower (p<0.001) in all GAD patients compared to control group. After 30 days of intervention with LOE, significant increase of SD1(p<0.001) and SD2, SD1/SD2 (p<0.01) were found in GAD patients whereas no significant difference was found in patients without LEO after 30 days. Moreover, significantly higher values of SD1 and SD2 were observed in GAD patients after aroma therapy with LEO compared to GAD patients not under aroma therapy. Furthermore, LEO could restore the BP of the GAD to the control level. Conclusion: This study concluded that, aromatherapy with LEO inhalation may be effective to improve cardiac autonomic dysfunction in female GAD patients.
