Abstract
Chlamydia trachomatis is an important agent of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) globally. Laboratory diagnosis, which is vital for early and appropriate treatment, remains a challenge in resource-limited settings. Our study was undertaken to detect C. trachomatis in women with clinical features of PID. Three endocervical swabs, each obtained from 100 women clinically diagnosed with PID, were subjected to C. trachomatis antigen detection, microscopy and bacteriological culture. Logistic regression was used to assess the risk factors associated with PID. C. trachomatis antigen was present in 6%. The use of hormonal contraception, previous history of PID and a smoking habit were found to have statistically significant association in those who tested positive. Adjunctive use of rapid Chlamydia antigen test with a routinely practiced syndromic approach is beneficial for timely and appropriate antimicrobial therapy in women with PID.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative nausea and vomiting is a common distressing problem in patients undergoing gynaecological surgery under anaesthesia including central neuraxial blockade, which requires frequent medical interventions. OBJECTIVES We aimed to find out the antiemetic effect of prophylactic dexamethasone for prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy under subarachnoid block. Influences of dexamethasone on patient satisfaction and postoperative analgesia were also observed as secondary objectives. METHODS This was a prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study conducted in BPKIHS, from January 2009 to April 2009. This study involved 80 American Society of Anaesthesiologist Physical Status I and II patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy under subarachnoid block. Patients were divided into two groups of 40 each to receive either 4 mg of dexamethasone (group D) or normal saline (group N) in volume of 2 ml intravenously 1 hour prior to subarachnoid block. Surgery was allowed to start with block height of at least T8 dermatome. Intraoperative and postoperative nausea and vomiting was observed using nausea and vomiting scale every 4 hour for 24 hours. RESULTS Seven (17.4%) patients in group D and 11 (27.5%) patients in group N had nausea and vomiting in the intraoperative period (P=0.284). Sixteen (40%) patients in group D experienced nausea and vomiting in the postoperative period as compared to 27 (67.5%) in group N (P =0.0136). Accordingly, the mean requirement of rescue antiemetic was less in group D compared to Group N (P=0.042). Further, only 15 (37.5%) patients in group D required postoperative supplemental analgesic as compared to 23 (57.5%) in group N (P=0.058). After 24 hrs of surgery, 26 (65%) patients expressed satisfaction in group D as compared to 16 (40.0%) in group N (P =0.025). CONCLUSIONS Use of dexamethasone prior to subarachnoid block in patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy significantly reduces the incidence of nausea and vomiting and the requirement of antiemetic in the postoperative period, with better patient satisfaction.

Abstract
Ascites is one of the frequently encountered problems in internal medicine. Common causes of ascites are portal hypertension including cirrhosis of liver and congestive heart failure, hypoalbuminemia associated with nephrotic syndrome, intra-abdominal malignancy and abdominal tuberculosis. We evaluated 43 patients presented with ascites in Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital (NMCTH). After history taking, clinical examination, imaging studies and laboratory evaluation alcoholic liver disease and abdominal tuberculosis were diagnosed in 19 and 5 patients restively. Constrictive pericarditis was diagnosed in 2 patients and 2 patients were suffering from HCV related liver disease. Present study revealed alcoholic liver disease as the commonest cause of ascites.

Abstract
Endometriosis is often seen in gynecology practice and is treated medically. However, intestinal involvement of endometriosis causing acute large bowel obstruction is uncommon and is dif cult to differentiate from malignancy before surgery, owing to its similar colonoscopic and radiologic ndings. We report a successfully-treated case of a 30-year-old woman in which endometrial in ltration of the large bowel caused acute obstruction, requiring emergency surgery to relieve the symptom and conrm the diagnosis. We present this unusual disease in general surgical practice and also review the literature.

Abstract
Eclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity around the world. Magnesium sulphate is used as primary agent in the treatment of seizure in eclampsia. Its dosage and frequent painful injection makes it a difficult drug for the patient. This study was carried out in one of the biggest referral centre of Nepal to study the suitability of different dosage schedule for our patient. A randomized controlled trial was carried out in the Obstetric Unit of BP Koirala Institute of Health Science (BPKIHS) over the span of 1.5 years. A total of 80 eclamptic women were randomized to receive either standard Pritchard Regimen (loading and maintenance) or Loading dose of magnesium sulphate. Both groups were evaluated for recurrence of seizures and outcomes. There were no recurrent seizures in standard regimen group. There were 2 patients with recurrent seizure in loading dose group. (p=0.184) Loading dose of magnesium sulphate is a good alternative for standard Pritchard regimen. It avoids multiple painful injections of magnesium Sulphate.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Ectopic pregnancy remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in early pregnancy. The incidence has increased worldwide with an increase in pelvic infections and improvements in the diagnostic techniques. The objective of this study was to analyse the various aspects of ectopic pregnancy with a view to suggest interventions which would decrease the incidence. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was carried out in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, B.P Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan (Nepal). Data were analysed retrospectively using the case sheets and operative notes from the past two years (April 02-April 04). The gynaecological admissions and records of the total births within the period of study were also used in the analysis. RESULT The incidence of ectopic pregnancy during this study period was 0.93 of total births and 2.92% of the total gynaecological admissions. The peak age of incidence was in the range of 26-30 years. Majority of patients were in the lower socioeconomic group. Pelvic inflammatory disease and induced abortions were the major risk factors. Their contribution was 61.3% and 38.6% respectively. 70.6% of patients did not use any contraception. 16% used depo provera. Abdominal pain (69.3%), vaginal bleeding (45.3%) and syncopal attacks (21.3%) were the most frequent presenting complaints. 58.6% had amenorrhea of 6-10 weeks. Only 1.3% presented with amenorrhea of greater than 10 weeks. Ampulla (62.6%) followed by isthmus (21.3) were the commonest sites of ectopic implantation. Ovarian and abdominal pregnancies contributed to only 1.3% each. There was no significant difference between the side of the tube involved.82.6% had come with ruptured ectopic but only 12% were in shock. Majority of patients underwent salpingectomy (69.3%) followed by salpingo-oophorectomy (17.3%). Only 2.6% received methotrexate. 70.6% required blood transfusion. CONCLUSION Majority of patients attending BPKIHS for ectopic pregnancy were between 26-30 years and had history of PID & induced abortions. Surgery (salpingectomy/salpingo-oophorectomy) was the main stay of treatment.

Abstract
A cross-sectional hospital based study was conducted to analyze the relation of fetomaternal outcome withthe time interval between onset of fit to delivery and onset of fit to start of anticonvulsant, in eclampsiapatients, from April 2001 to October 2002 in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, B. P. KoiralaInstitue of Health Sciences (BPKIHS), Dharan.Of the 56 total cases, 22 (39.2%) patients reached the health facility within 3 hours of the onset of fits, and5 (8.9%) after 12 hours. Twenty-five patients (44.6%) were first managed in different health care centerswhile 31 (55.4%) came directly to BPKIHS, Dharan. Maternal complications occurred more frequently inthose with fit to delivery time interval and fit to start of anticonvulsant time interval of more than 12 hours.Diazepam was the main anticonvulsant used in other health service facilities while in BPKIHS, 32 (57.1%)patients were given magnesium sulphate and 24 (42.9%) phenytoin. There were 2 maternal deaths, whichoccurred in patients in whom the time interval between the onset of fit to delivery and the start ofanticonvulsant was more than 24 hours. Seven patients presented with intrauterine fetal deaths and therewere 2 neonatal deaths.Eclampsia is associated with poor fetomaternal outcome. The fetomaternal complications are increasedwhen the fit to delivery time interval and fit to start of anticonvulsant time interval is prolonged. Rationaluse of appropriate anticonvulsants along with safe delivery should be promoted for eclampsia patients.Key Words: Eclampsia, fetomaternal outcome.
