Abstract : Fixation failure is a common issue in orthopedic practice that carries negative impact specially on patients, in addition to burden on both doctor and health system. Our aim the most common pattern of failure, and the most common possible factor for fixation failure. An observational was conducted at the orthopedic surgery department in Imam Al Hussein medical city in Karbala from April 2018 to December 2019. Seventeen patients with 20 fixed fractures met the criteria for entry and were eligible to be included in the study, where recent significant trauma near the fixation area, pathological fractures, spine and per prosthetic fractures were excluded.17 patients with 20 fixation failures were reviewed and 11 of them were male and 6 were female. 70% of fixation failure occurred in lower limb while 30% in upper limb, plates constituted 75% (15 cases) meanwhile 10% found in dynamic hip screws and cannulated hip screws and 5% (1 case) was external fixation. Inadequate surgical technique was the most common cause of fixation failure (80%), others like obesity (35.2%), poor patient compliance (17.6%), and infection (10%) were contributed to fixation failure in lesser extent. Among technical issue; improper implant was 65%, meanwhile inadequate reduction was found in 60%, and improper Implant application was found in 85% of cases. Among plate-screw group (15 cases); the commonest pattern fixation failure was; screws cutout (53.3%) followed by broken plate (46.6%) and screws pullout (46.6%) and we relied on AO principles in evaluating these aspects of fracture management. Improper implant choice, incorrectly performed fixation techniques, deficient post-operative care and underestimation of fracture morphology all were possible causes..

Abstract : The objectives of this study were to examine the helpfulness on assessment of guidance and counselling services in helping undergraduate and post graduate students with psychiatric problems and found out the actual factors causing psychiatric problems among undergraduate and post graduate students who were studying at Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi. The researcher used quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate the assessment of guidance and counselling services in helping undergraduate and post graduate students with psychiatric problems at Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi. The respondents who participate in this study were 139 Undergraduate and post graduate students, they agreed that the assessment of guidance and counselling services were helpful to them in coping with psychiatric problems at Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi. As a result of the reliability coefficients (Cronbach Alpha) the helpfulness on assessment of guidance and counselling services by undergraduate and post graduate students) n = 139, the Crobach Alpha ranged from 0.88 to 0.95. Semi-structured interviews were used to gather data from three undergraduate students and three post graduate students who faced psychiatric problems..

Abstract : “To compare efficacy of 30 mg v/s 60 mg of 1% 2- Chloroprocaine as a spinal anaesthetic agent for short duration surgeries and early ambulation of patient” Observational double blind study was carried out on 60 patients (equal in both groups) belonging to ASA (American Society of Anaesthesiologists) grade I and II, aged between 18 to 65 years, including either gender, and meeting all inclusion exclusion criteria scheduled for elective lower abdominal surgical procedures under spinal anaesthesia after obatining Institute Ethics Committee Clearance. All cases will be completed within the stipulated time. The statistical analysis will be done by using ‘T Test’ for at 95% confidence interval. The sensory block onset, motor block onset, peak sensory and motor block, regression of sensory block by two segments and complete sensory block regression was quite fast with low dose of drug. The wearing off of motor block, mode of rescuse analgesia and voiding of urine was statistically non-significant. Urinary retention was not seen in any cases. The dermatomal level achieved with low dose was lower as comapred to the higher dose. Preservative free 1% 2-Chloroprocaine can be used as a drug for sub arachnoid block especially for day care surgeries. Inj 1% 2-Chloroprocaine has shorter onset and duration of action. This property makes it an ideal agent for day care surgeries..

Abstract : Laryngoscopy and subsequent tracheal intubation causes a fugitive tachycardia and hypertension as a result of sympathoadrenal stimulation. Many modalities have been proposed and practiced to attenuate this pressor response to laryngoscopy and intubation. It includes both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. This randomized double blind prospective study had been designed to compare the efficacy of oral gabapentin 800mg, IV fentanyl 2 µg/kg and a combination of both the drugs in obtunding the hemodynamic responses such as HR, SBP, DBP & MAP during laryngoscopy and intubation and also to observe the adverse effects of the above mentioned study drugs, if any. After approval from medical ethics committee, Dr D Y Patil Medical College and Hospital, Pune, the study was carried out on seventy-five (75) patients undergoing elective surgeries under standard general anaesthesia after obtaining consent from the patients. Group G patients received cap. gabapentin 800mg 2h prior to intubation, Group F patients received Inj. fentanyl 2µg/kg IV given 5mins prior to intubation, Group GF patients received Cap. gabapentin 800mg given 2h prior to intubation and Inj. fentanyl 2µg/kg IV given 5mins prior to intubation. All hemodynamic measurements like HR, SBP, DBP & MAP were recorded at 1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 10 min & 15 min after intubation. The patients were monitored for any adverse effects of the drugs. There was no statistically considerable difference between the study groups with respect to baseline parameters of HR, SBP, DBP, MAP and SpO2.There was substantial difference in mean HR, SBP, DBP & MAP values at laryngoscopy, at 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15mins following laryngoscopy and intubation between the three groups. Patients belonging to group GF showed significant attenuation of all the above said parameters effectively and the values were statistically significant when compared to other groups. (p < 0.05). The observed side effects were minimal and not significant statistically (p > 0.05). Based on the current clinical study, Oral gabapentin 800mg given 2 hours prior to intubation along with fentanyl at dose of 2µg/kg IV given 5mins before intubation is effective in attenuating the hemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation when compared to individual administration of either oral gabapentin 800mg or IV fentanyl 2µg/kg. Incidence of adverse effects is very less in all three groups and was not statistically significant..

Abstract : To evaluate the efficacy of adjuvant Neostigmine with intrathecal Bupivacaine in postoperative pain management in vaginal surgeries. 60 subjects between the age of 18-60, undergoing vaginal surgeries under spinal anaesthesia, with stable haemodynamic parameters were included in the study. Prior consent was taken from the patients explaining them the objectives and procedure of the study in their native language. Patients were divided into two groups of 30 patients each. Group I - 12.5mg hyperbaric bupivacaine (2.5ml), Group II - 50 mcg of neostigmine with 12.5 mg hyperbaric bupivacaine (2.5ml). The difference in the onset of sensory, peak anaesthesia in Group I and Group II + the onset of motor anaesthesia, peak anaesthesia in Group I and Group II was non-significant between the two groups. The VAS score was measured at various time intervals postoperatively, the difference was significantly lesser at all the time intervals in Group II suggesting the analgesic action of neostigmine. As observed from our study it was evident that neostigmine reduces the need for rescue analgesia in patients undergoing vaginal surgeries..
