Clinical profile and predisposing factors of cerebral palsy.

This was an analysis of one hundred ten children with cerebral palsy (CP) attending at the Child Development & Neurology Care Center of Dhaka Medical College Hospital during January 2002 to December 2003. These children were observed to study their clinical profile, etiological factors and associated problems. The mean age of these children was 2.9 +/- 2.9 years, mostly being males (n=79, 71.8%). Most of the families of these children belonged to poorer socioeconomic strata. Spastic diplegia constituted the predominant group (34.5 per cent), followed by spastic quadriplegia (25.5 per cent). Dyskinetic CP was present in 15.5 percent of the cases. Hypotonic CP constituted a significant proportion of cases. Delayed Motor Function was observed in all 110 cases, delayed speech was complained in 67.3% cases and impaired hearing was identified in 26.8% CP children. Mothers of 43.6% CP cases reported that they had prolonged labour during delivery and almost one third (29.1%) had suffered from pre-eclampsia or eclampsia. Majority (53.6%) of the CP cases were reported to have had perinatal asphyxia. Comprehensive assessment and early management of these problems are emphasized, which can minimize the extent of disabilities. By proper perinatal care, CP can be prevented.

An evaluation of workshop approach in research manpower development.

Effectiveness of organised training workshop on research methodology was assessed by administering pre and post-test questionnaire and analysis of the responses. A structured questionnaire containing 13 propositions, each having three options were used both for pre and post testing. Issues raised in the questionnaire relate to the rules, tools and techniques of biomedical research. The participants mean score for 5 days, 15 days and 30 days groups were 5,82; 7,33 and 5,41 respectively before the workshop. The corresponding scores after the workshop were 7,17; 9,42 and 8,67 respectively. The post-test scores were significantly higher (P < 0.01) than the pre-test scores and indicated that improvement in the participants' knowledge on research methodology had taken place.

A study of the efficiency of four blood microfilters.

A new blood microfilter, Swank 6000-4, was compared with three established blood microfilters, Pall SQ40S, Fenwal 4C2423 and Intercept HR 18137-00 (1321). The flow rate decreased with increasing volume of filtered blood with all the microfilters (p less than 0.01). When the flow rates through each type of microfilter were compared there was no significant difference between them. Screen filtration pressure was restored to normal by the Swank, Fenwal and Intercept microfilters, but remained higher after filtration through the Pall microfilter (p less than 0.01). There was no evidence of red cell loss or damage with any of the microfilters after filtration.
