Emergency department is one of the most important part of the hospital and also vulnerable to criticism. The reputation of a hospital rests to a large extent on the service of emergency department. A descriptive type of cross sectional study was conducted at Emergency Department (ED) of National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases Hospital (NICVD), Dhaka to assess different aspects of the service management of ED which includes opinion regarding different services, reception facilities, overall management of ED, waiting time for the patients to be attended by a doctor, required time for completion of emergency treatment, suggestions of service receivers for further improvement of ED of the hospital. A total of 121 patients or patient attendance and 39 health personnel were interviewed by a structured questionnaire and a checklist was utilized for availability of equipment's and drugs in ED. The collected data were processed and analyzed meticulously with the help of SPSS (Version 21) software on the basis of different variables. According to Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) all instruments were present, 15 emergency drugs had been listed, out of them Inj. Streptokinase, antiseptic liquid were not available at that time in the ED of the hospital. The study revealed that out of 160 respondents the mean age was 40.3 ± 5.81 years, opinion about different services provided in ED more than two third found satisfied, only 18.1 % service receivers mentioned about the waiting time at ED to be seen by a doctor was ≥3 minutes, more than half (54.5 %) required 20-30 minutes for completion of emergency treatment, different suggestions were suggested for further improvement of ED like increase number of wheel chair, stretcher, ambulance, to supply required medicine from the hospital, separate ECG room for female patients, waiting room for patients attendance etc. However, specific problems identified by different stakeholders need to be critically appraised by the authority to improve the services further.
Abstract:Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
Background: Malocclusion is one of the most common dental problems together with dental caries, gingival disease, dental fluorosis which varies in different part of the world among different populations. The aim of this study was to assess the malocclusion pattern in Bangladeshi population to provide quantitative information regarding the pattern of dentofacial characteristics. Methods : This cross sectional study was carried out with the orthodontic records of 256 patients who attended and treated in the Department of Orthodontics ,Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) Hospital , Dhaka. Malocclusion pattern mainly assessed by Angle’s classification system; along with incisor classification system other variables like overjet, overbite, cross bite ,crowding, spacing and median diastema were recorded. Finally data were analyzed by using SPSS software (Version 21). Results : The study result showed out of 256 orthodontic patients majority (68.7%) were female, in Angle’s classification Class I malocclusion was the most prevalent (55.5%) type of malocclusion followed by Class II (38.3%) and Class III (6.3%). The most prevalent malocclusion trait found crowding (67.7%), followed by increase overjet (65.6%), increase overbite or deep bite (50.4%); the least prevalent malocclusion trait found scissor bite (1.2%) followed by posterior cross bite (5.1%) and median diastema (12.5%). Statistical significant relationship observed in the distribution of malocclusion by Angle’s classification with sex ( as p value < .05). Conclusion: This hospital based study concludes that in Angle’s classification system: Class I malocclusion was prevalent along with the malocclusion trait crowding, which actually gives a general idea about the malocclusion pattern in Bangladeshi population.

Permanent canines are the foundation of an esthetic smile and functional occlusion. Any deviation from the normal sequence of development leads to the impaction of teeth. Among multiple treatment options, alignment of impacted canines into the arch is the best treatment approach.
