Despite the significant concerns of infertility, estimation of its prevalence is limited. Infertility is seen as a stressful situation and affects many aspects of life for the individual and the community. Despite the remarkable trepidations of not having children, estimation of its prevalence is limited. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence and establish a relationship with sociodemographic factors of primary infertility. Materials and methods: The study was a community-based cross-sectional descriptive study conducted from April to May 2021 in a rural health training center (RHTC) area among 1860 eligible couples aged 18-49 years. A complete enumeration of all the houses was done to list all the eligible couples residing in the area. Data were collected by a face-to-face interview on a house-to-house visit by interns posted in RHTC using a predesignated, pretested semi-structured data collection tool. The data collected were compiled and entered in an MS Excel sheet and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) program version 23 (SPSS Inc., New York, USA). Categorical variables were expressed in actual numbers and percentages. Categorical variables were compared using Pearson's Chi-square. Result: The overall prevalence of primary infertility in our study was found to be 7.25%. The percentage of women with primary infertility increased with higher age-groups. Sociodemographic factors which had a statistically significant association with primary infertility were age at marriage (p < 0.01), religion (p < 0.01), literacy (p < 0.03), occupation (p < 0.01), socioeconomic status (p < 0.001), family history of infertility (p < 0.02), and addiction (p < 0.03). Physiological factors that had a statistically significant association with infertility were body mass index (BMI) (p < 0.001), age of menarche (p < 0.03), and menstrual pattern (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The findings of this study can benefit healthcare providers and policymakers in providing enhanced reproductive services to the rural population.

So, we planned a study undertaken to determine the correlation and association between the level of SAAG and platelet count /spleen size ratio for the prediction of esophageal varices (EV) found on upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Material & Method : A study of CLD patient’s with ascites attending evidenced by abdominal USG & liver profile , age between 18 to 65 years with no previous diagnosis of esophageal varices was carried out. Platelet count, spleen size, SAAG and platelet count spleen size ratio was determined and endoscopy was done. Observations: In our study out of 100 CLD patients 78 patients had esophageal varices. The results showed that SAAG cut off of ≥1.5 had 77.60% of sensitivity. A platelet count/spleen size ratio cut off va...

These are from genera Microsporum, Trichophyton and Epidermophyton. Amongst Five to six species which are prevalent globally, Trichophyton rubrum happens to be the commonest. Methods: A hospital based comparative prospective study included 600 patients of dermatophytoses having Tinea cruris and Tinea corporis attending the outpatient department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy in PBM hospital Bikaner. Patients randomly divided into 3 groups-Group A received Tablet Fluconazole 150 mg per week plus Tablet Griseofulvin 10mg per kg bodyweight daily in two divided doses. Group B received Tablet Fluconazole 150 mg per week. Group C received Tablet Griseofulvin 10mg per kg body weight in two divided doses daily. Treatment to all groups was given for a period of 4 weeks. The data were analyzed on EPI-Info-6 Software. Results: There were no statistically significant difference noted among three groups at 1 st , 2 nd & 3 rd weeks and statistically significant difference in three groups was observed at 4 th & 8 th weeks follow-up. Conclusion: The combination of Fluconazole and Griseofulvin is a bettar treatment option to treat tinea cruris and corporis as compared to mono therapy with Fluconazole or Griseofulvin.
