Objectives: This study was planned to study the association of ramipril and telmisartan with hyponatremia and to compare the hyponatremia effect of ramipril and telmisartan. Methods: The study was conducted in a tertiary care hospital. Serum sodium levels were assayed in patients taking ramipril and telmisartan. Fifty-one patients were recruited. The patient’s age, gender, drug dosage, and frequency of drug administration were collected using a pro forma. Statistical analysis of data was performed using SPSS version 23.0. Results: About 35.3% (28 out of 51) of the study population administered with ramipril and telmisartan developed hyponatremia. Predisposition to develop hyponatremia was high in males compared to females. Incidence of hyponatremia was 43.8% (7 out of 16) in the age group of 50–60 years. Although, incidence of hyponatremia was 56.5% (13 out of 23) in ramipril group compared to 17.9% (5 out of 28) in telmisartan group, it was not statistically significant. Conclusion: The current study laid emphasis on the requisite for monitoring of serum sodium level in patients on ramipril and telmisartan administration to avoid morbidity and mortality due to unexpected adverse reactions.

Background: Prescription is an important document written by a doctor which if not written properly can lead to various problems such as adverse drug reactions in patients, incompatibility to follow the instructions to take timely medications and sometimes over dosage due to improper prescription can even lead to death of the patient.Methods: This prospective observational cross-sectional study was conducted over a period of 6 months. The study was conducted in Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi. Various prescriptions were collected from outpatient care facilities of a tertiary care hospital. Results were analyzed and assessed on 150 prescriptions collected.Results: Total 150 prescriptions were evaluated out of which 49.3% were males and 50.7% were females. Various parameters were assessed during the study which showed that there is still a scope of improvement in prescribing patterns in areas of writing complete prescriptions, prescribing generic medications and mentioning drug dosage forms as well as time of administration in each prescription.Conclusions: The results showed there is still a scope of improvement in writing practices of prescription. The doctor should incur the habit of writing generic names of drug in every prescription. They should adopt proper handwriting skills and no mistakes should be done in a prescription. A good prescription written by a doctor will help in legible practice and will also be very helpful in patient’s care.

Background: the present study was under taken to determine the role of CA-125 in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA), to prevent its complications and also in preventing negative appendicectomies in tertiary care hospital. Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care and research center between 01/03/2018 to 30/06/2019. Patients admitted to the surgery department with diagnosis of AA were considered for the study. After informed consent, a, standardized history was obtained as a case Performa. Serum samples from all the cases with clinical diagnosis of AA were obtained and stored. Only the cases with histopathologically approved AA were included in the study. Cases operated for clinical diagnosis of AA, but not histopathologically proven AA was not included in the study. CA125 levels in cases with definitive diagnosis of AA were measured. Results: In present study, ROC curve analysis revealed the sensitivity of 87.27 % and specificity of 90.91 % when the CA 125 cut-off value of > 16.8 was taken to diagnose acute appendicitis. AUC was 0.911 with a standard error of 0.0292. Conclusion: In this study we have observed that CA125 showed a positive correlation with acute appendicitis, that was statistically not significant (P>0.05). We didn’t evaluate the correlation with the disease severity. We consider that CA125 can be used as a marker in acute appendicitis cases although further research is still needed. Keywords: CA125, Acute Appendicitis, Surgery.
