To study the clinical profile and site proclivity of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) at tertiary care center of Rohilkhand region, Bareilly.

Among 329 patients, the study was conducted on 108 patients with EPTB. The analysis included patients who were diagnosed for EPTB between May 1, 2015 and October 31, 2015 in a tertiary care hospital, Rohilkhand region, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh.

Among the EPTB cases studied, 62 (57.4%) were males. About 96 (88.8%) patients received Category (CAT)1 treatment and 12 (11.1%) patients received CAT2 treatment. Overall, the total number of different types of EPTB cases included lymph node (n = 44, 40.7%), human gastrointestinal tract (n = 18, 16.6%), pleura (n = 34, 31.4%), skeletal (n = 5, 4.6%), central nervous system (n = 3, 2.7%); other sites included mainly breast (n = 2, 3.2%), genitourinary (n = 1, 2.6%), and skin (n = 1, 2.6%).

Extrapulmonary tuberculosis still constitutes an important clinical problem. In this study, we assessed the site of predilection of EPTB patients, which constituted 32.8% of all tuberculosis cases presented to our center during the study period. Lymph node tuberculosis is the most common type.

Tobacco use is one of the important preventable causes of death and a leading public health problem all over the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), tobacco is the second major cause of death worldwide and is currently responsible for about 5 million deaths each year. This figure is expected to rise to about 8.4 million by the year 2020, with 70% of deaths occurring in developing countries.

• To study the prevalence of tobacco use

• To assess the socioeconomic factor of tobacco use

A community-based cross-sectional study was carried out in rural field practicing area of Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital (RMCH), Bareilly. Multistage sampling design was used and 400 males, aged above 15 years, were randomly selected belonging to the field practice area of RMCH. The data were recorded in predesigned and semistructured questionnaire.

In the study prevalence of tobacco use, “current user” was 183 (45.75%) and past user was 19 (4.75%); thus, the overall prevalence of tobacco use was 202 (50.50%). Among the tobacco user, maximum participants belong to age group 15 to 24 years. The data were analyzed by applying chi-square test.

Experimental sleep restriction causes type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2); however, little is known about the metabolic effects of habitual sleep restriction. Thus, in this cross-sectional community-based study, we assessed the relationship of usual sleep time duration to DM-2. Objectives: To study the prevalence of DM-2 and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in Bareilly city and to study the association of sleep time duration of the study subjects with DM-2.

To study the prevalence of DM-2 and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in Bareilly city and to study the association of sleep time duration of the study subjects with DM-2.

A cross-sectional study was conducted using multistage random sampling technique in Bareilly City, Uttar Pradesh, India, from March to August 2016. Fasting blood glucose analysis was done by taking early morning blood sample by finger pricking method using Accu-Chek Active Glucose Monitor and its strips. Diabetes was considered if fasting plasma glucose (FPG) value was >126 mg/dL and impaired plasma glucose (IFG) was considered if FPG value was 110 to 125 mg/dL.

The results were compiled and analyzed in IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Statistics version 22.0. The p-value less than 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.

Prevalence of DM-2 was 17.69%, and the prevalence of IFG was 13.1% in the present study. Out of a total of 130 study subjects, 31 subjects were sleeping 6 hours or less per night, and out of these, 13 (41.9%) subjects were diagnosed with DM-2, and other 13 subjects (41.9%) were diagnosed with IFG. The remaining 99 (76.2%) subjects were sleeping 7 to 8 hours duration per night, and among these, only 13.1% were diagnosed with DM-2, and 18.2% were diagnosed with IFG. Finally, it was analyzed and observed in this study that both DM-2 and IFG were significantly associated with sleep restriction in the study subjects.

The sleep duration of 6 hours or less is associated with increased prevalence of DM-2 and IFG. Because this effect was present in subjects without insomnia, it can be concluded that voluntary sleep restriction may contribute to the large public health burden of DM-2 in the urban community.
