Background: Self-reported instruments are outstanding predictor of symptom severity and functional status, hence represent a patient’s view and capture the full extent of disability. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) is a patient reported self-assessment tool for the peoples with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). Objective: Our intension was to develop a reliable, validated and culturally adapted Bangla version of original BCTQ (B-BCTQ). Materials and Methods: The B-BCTQ was succeeded following a structured process that included translation, verification, compromise assessment, reverse translation, feedback, and final correction. B-BCTQ reliability and validity were conducted in 48 CTS patients. The reliability was evaluated by performing internal consistency and test–retest analyses. Its validity was assessed by comparing the B-BCTQ with the Physical functioning subscale (PF-10) of Short Form health Survey (SF-36) scale. Results: Cronbach’s alpha was 0.89 for symptom severity scale (SSS) and 0.86 for functional status scale (FSS). Also, Intra-class Correlation Coefficients (ICCs) were calculated as 0.86 for SSS and 0.91 for FSS. Pearson correlation (0.80 for SSS and 0.83 for FSS) analysis demonstrated that the B-BCTQ score was significantly correlated with the PF-10 of SF-36. All of the items were statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion: The B-BCTQ is successfully adapted. The study findings support the previous English version indicating its validity and reliability. KYAMC Journal Vol. 13, No. 01, April 2022: 24-31
Background: Rehabilitation Medicine is the focal point on the refurbishment of the health and function, and reintegration of the patient into the community. Since inception, department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) is dispensing state of the art services despite its fewer resources. Objective: To anticipate a brief recapitulation of the infrastructure of Rehabilitation medicine and its' services as well as demographic data and, disease pattern among the patients dealt by it in a Tertiary Hospital. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study executed in the department of PMR of Kurmitola General Hospital, Dhaka from January 2019 to December 2019. Results: Currently 4 Rehabilitation Physicians (Physiatrist) and 3 Physical Therapists, are involved in indoor, outdoor and, specialized PMR services with 4 indoor beds. Total thirty four thousands seven hundred thirty six (n=34,736) patients were studied who received our services, among them 35.62% were male and 64.38% were female. 16% of patients were under 20 years of age, about 61% of patients belong to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th decades and 23% were above 60 years of age. Nonspecific Low Back Pain (NSLBP) were 23.80%, 8.29% Neck pain, cervical spondylosis11.15%, lumbar spondylosis 11.52%, frozen shoulder 9.83%, PLID 7.39%, osteoarthritis 9.15%, facial palsy 0.53%, rheumatoid arthritis 4.47%, seronegative spondyloarthopathy 1.26%, Guillain-Barre` Syndrome (GBS) 0.15%, planter fasciitis 4.68%, 2.10 % postsurgical/post-traumatic stiffness and others were 5.13%. Conclusion: It is time demand to build more infrastructures country wide to improve physical medicine and rehabilitation services for the country people.

Study variables were FBS, PPBS, and HbA1C. We also include the following: age, gender, rheumatoid arthritis, and occupation. Statistical analysisThe analyses were done in SPSS 22.
Introduction: Osseointegration is the ability of implants to establish mechanical and functional bond with bone without forming any connective tissue. Osseointegration is useful for clinical follow-up in many implants e.g. dental implants, hearing aids, spinal fusion implants, prosthesis. Endoprosthesis functions pain free when their anchoring components are firmly fixed to the osseous tissue. Total hip arthroplasty is a common procedure in many conditions that reduces pain and improves functions. Noncemented implants need precise preparation of implant bed and additional fixation device such as screws or projections that cut into the bone to achieve stability. The long term stability and function of joint replacement can be evaluated on the basis of outcomes. If improper osseointegration occurs then fibrinous tissue formed between bone and implant that cause weak and loose implant. Materials and Methods: This was an observational type of study where non-cemented total hip replacement done by different surgeons were included for follow-up. The follow-ups were done in US
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
