Constipation Sutra : Panel Discussion (Dr KK Aggarwal, Dr Ajay Kumar, Dr Rajiv Khosla, Dr A K Jhinghan, Dr Kailash Siungla) Polyethylene glycol may help fecal impaction Polyethylene glycol (PEG) + electrolyte solution (PEG+E), administered orally at a dose equivalent to eight 13.8 g sachets (1 L) per day over three days, is a highly effective and well tolerated therapy for treatment of patients (aged 17 to 88 years) with severe constipation and fecal impaction (Chen CC, Su MY, Tung SY, et al. Evaluation of polyethylene glycol plus electrolytes in the treatment of severe constipation and faecal impaction in adults. Curr Med Res Opin 2005 Oct;21(10):1595-602). The 3-day administration of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 3350 is safe and effective in the treatment of childhood fecal impaction at doses of 1 and 1.5 g/kg per day (Youssef NN, Peters JM, Henderson W, et al. Dose response of PEG 3350 for the treatment of childhood fecal impaction. J Pediatr 2002 Sep;141(3):410-4). |

100 million deaths due to smoking in last 100 years in India
New Delhi: A new study has estimated that 100 million people have died due to smoking in India over the last 100 years, and the worst apparently is yet to come. Nearly 4.52 trillion cigarettes and 40.3 trillion beedis have been produced in 100 years, between 1910 and 2010 in India, according to a new study published in the journal Current Science. And in an even more shocking revelation, the study has estimated nearly a 100 million premature deaths in India, as a result of smoking in the last 100 years. The study found that in the first 50 years between 1910 and 1960, more than 5.5 trillion beedis and 52.7 billion cigarettes were manufactured and smoked. Researchers believe these smokers mostly died in a span of the next 40-50 years. But researchers have warned that the larger part of the epidemic is yet to occur. That is because in the last 50 years, from 1960 to 2010, smoking rates went up four times - and these are estimated to cause a large number of deaths in the next 50 years.

The Interlink System Buretrol Solution Set and Clearlink System Buretrol Solution Set contain a ball-valve that may allow air to flow past the valve and enter the products' tubing with pre-measured fluids, which can subsequently be administered with the solution and cause an air embolism, the agency said in a statement.

What are the reproductive outcomes after intrauterine adhesions?
Reproductive outcomes appear to correlate with the type and extent of the adhesions. After treatment, patients with mild to moderate adhesions have full-term pregnancy rates of approximately 70-80%, and menstrual dysfunction is frequently alleviated. Alternatively, patients with severe adhesions or extensive destruction of the endometrial lining may have full-term pregnancy rates of only 20- to 40% after treatment.

Natural Antibodies
-
Antibodies are formed against most of the major group antigens and are present in almost all individuals when the antigen is absent.
-
In most other minor systems, natural antibodies to the antigens are found occasionally but as their antigenicity is low, the immune antibodies are also rare ( except –Kell & Duffy)
-
Most of them are of the IgM type.
-
React poorly at body temperature ( except anti-A and anti-B), but agglutinate RBCs at 5-20°C
-
Usually do not cross placenta.

The doctor must preserve broken fragments of weapon if found in wounds to identify the weapon or connect the accused person with the crime.
-
Death due to sharp force violence is the most common cause of homicide in India, in many parts of Europe, as well as in Africa and Asia. It also accounts for 30% of fatal and non–fatal family assaults in the USA
-
The doctor conducting the postmortem examination must keep in mind that the shape and size of the wound suggests the width and type of weapon, whether it is single–edged or otherwise. The depth of the wound will indicate the length of weapon, the directions and dimensions of the wound indicate the relative position of the assailant and the victim, and the position, direction and number of wound may indicate manner of production, i.e., suicide, accident or homicide.
-
I have conducted medicolegal postmortem of 29 cases of deaths due to stab wound from South Delhi in the year 2010.
-
A stab wound is produced by long narrow instruments with blunt or pointed ends such as knife, dagger, nail, needle, spear, arrow, screw driver etc. into the depths of the body; the wound is deeper than its length and width on the skin.
-
The wound is caused by driving the object into the body or from the body’s pressing or falling against the object and object penetrate due to the momentum of the body.
-
The wound is called punctured wound when it enters a body cavity only one way; when the weapon enters the body on one side and comes out from the other side, it is called perforating wound.
-
The entry wound is larger and the exit wound is smaller due to tapering of the blade in stab wounds which is contrary to fire arm missile entry and exit wounds.
-
The doctor must preserve for police, broken fragment of weapon if found; it will identify the weapon or connect the accused person with the crime.
