Abstract Views :456 |
PDF Views:0
Aims&Objectives: To study the various neurological manifestations, clinical profile and prognostic factors of patients admitted with history of alcohol consumption. Material&Method: This was a retrospective, observational study, which included 312 alcoholic patients admitted in the medicine department, during one year period (January 2012 to December 2012). Data was analysed by SPSS statistical package trial version 11.
Results: A total 312 (3.28%) were admitted with significant history of alcohol consumption. All patients were males with age >15 yrs. Out of 312 patients 146 (46.8%) had neurological manifestations at the time of presentation. Out of 146 patients 13 (8.92%) had ischemic stroke, 2 (1.36%) had intracranial hemorrhage and 3 (2.08%) had cortical venous sinus thrombosis. and 10 (6.84 %) with seizures. A total 7 (4.81 %) presented with hypoglycemia, 5 (3.42 %) presented with meningitis, and 2 (1.36%) presented with neuropathy. A total 36 (24.65 %) had alcohol withdrawal syndrome and 38 (26.02 %) patients were admitted with alcohol intoxication and 30 (20.54 %) presented with Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Total 25 (8.01 %) patients succumbed with alcohol consumption. Out of 25 deaths 12 (48 %) deaths were associated with neurological manifestations and 13 (52 %) with non neurological complications. Total deaths were 25 (8.01%) with mean age of 50.96 ± 8.7 yrs. Mortality was associated with increasing age hypoglycemia and seizures in neurological complications ('p'<0.0231).
Conclusions: Half of patients with alcohol consumption had neurological manifestations and associated morbidity and mortality. Alcohol withdrawal syndrome, W-K syndrome and alcohol intoxication were common neurological manifestation. Mortality was more associated with neurological manifestations compared to the non-neurological complication.

Background: Alcohol consumption has serious economic, social and medical consequences. Chronic alcohol consumption can lead to serious medical consequences especially neurologic disorder. So far there is scanty of literature about neurological manifestations of alcohol consumption in India and overseas.Aims&Objectives: To study the various neurological manifestations, clinical profile and prognostic factors of patients admitted with history of alcohol consumption.

Detailed measurements of a more than 55 m wide tract of the Chikshellikeri Limestone, immediately underlying the Muchkundi Quartzite were undertaken in the Kaladgi Basin. This sequence is constituted of 3218 measured laminations from more than 1550 mudstone - packstone couplet. They are interrupted by 57 horizons of Intraformational Limestone Breccias. The distribution pattern of these horizons within the sequence is evaluated within the framework of the depositional environments which yielded the limestone sequence and they are recognised as products of events of penecontemporaneous basin-floor instability. It is shown that disconformity separating the Bagalkot Group into two Subgroups (earlier attributed to two separate transgresive events) was formed as a result of reorganisation of the basin configuration in response to synsedimentary tectonics and not as a result of a second transgression of the contemporary sea.Keywords

One of the most important causes for deterioration of reinforced concrete structures is corrosion of steel rebar in concrete. Acoustic emission (AE) technique is reported as an effective non-destructive tool for qualitatively identifying the onset of rebar corrosion. The applicability of AE for quantitative assessment of rebar corrosion in concrete is investigated here. Statistical analysis of experimental results under accelerated corrosion confirmed a promising relationship between gravimetrical rebar mass loss and AE measurement. The efficacy of the developed mathematical model was further confirmed under realistic prolonged corrosion exposure. Thus, a new procedure has been developed for quantification of rebar corrosion through experimental verification.Keywords
