Abstract: Postoperative pain management by analgesics has become a major challenge for service providers all over the world. Due to the various constraints,analgesics usedin postoperative pain management in Bangladesh havegotten greater attention from scientistsand policymakers.We conducted an observational study to assess the effect of postoperative analgesics used on patients in different private clinics in Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Subject selection was purposive to those who were admitted tothe selected clinics from November 2021 to May 2022. We recorded the patient's demographics, postoperative pain orders, and analgesia regime on the day of surgery.The anesthesia.......

Abstract: Introduction: Dehiscence is a partial or total separation of previously approximated wound edges, due to a failure of proper wound healing. Wound dehiscence primarily occurs after a surgery relating to an open wound. It is sometimes called wound breakdown, wound disruption, or wound separation. It can be influenced by various preoperative and postoperative factors. The present study was carried out to observe the significance of various risk factors in wound dehiscence Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to observe the association of various risk factors among patients with wound dehiscence.......

Abstract: Aim: To assess the quality of life of students in schools for the blind, south-east Nigeria. METHODS: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study of 146 randomly selected students out of a total of 215 in three schools for the blind carried out from February to March, 2019. An interviewer-administered, vision-specific quality of life (QOL) questionnaire was administered to the participants, after obtaining their socio-demographic and clinical profiles. Data was analyzed using statistical package for the social science version 20.0.Using the Time Trade Off method, a utility score for each domain of the questionnaire was estimated. Chi square was used to establish the association of QOL with socio-demographic characteristics and pattern of vision. The level of significance was at p< 0.05.......

Abstract: Helminth infections are an important public health problem in tropical and underdeveloped countries. Infected individuals might remain asymptomatic for years as the adult worms do not cause any disturbance apart from vague abdominal discomfort , indigestion or alternating diarrhea and constipation. It is the larval stage that can cause serious trouble. Intestinal infection with Taenia solium occurs only in persons eating undercooked pork and so is related to food habits. It should be on the list of differential diagnosis of intestinal perforation in the intestinal tracts of the individuals with poor hygiene and inhabitants in the rural areas and also who have habit of eating undercooked pork. Past medical history and accurate parasitological tests can play a role for the early diagnosis of small bowel obstruction. Taenia solium remains an uncommon cause of small bowel perforation and peritonitis but an important one given the high mortality associated with it.
