Available studies on prevalence of Nutritional Anaemia in India showed that 65% infants and toddlers, 60% children 1-6 years of age, 80% adolescent girls and 85% pregnant women were anaemic. Hence, this study was planned in the subjects visiting Katihar Medical College and Hospital.AIMS AND OBJECTIVES 1. To estimate the incidence of anaemia in inhabitants of Katihar. 2. To assess the morphological types of anaemia in different groups of people in this population. 3. To find out the association between anaemia and various socio-demographic factors. MATERIAL AND METHODSThe present longitudinal study was carried out between December 2009 and mid August 2011. Using 'Estimation setup technique' with anaemia proportion taken as 40% with level of significance 5% and absolute allowable error 7%, the inflated sample size was 197 and was rounded off to 200. These subjects were selected using convenience sampling. Statistical methods adopted to address the objectives were frequencies, proportions, contingency coefficient and Chi-square test for proportion. RESULTSIn the present study, Microcytic, hypochromic anaemia (41.5%) was the most common type in both males and females. Highest incidence of anaemia in the present series was in the age group of 21-30 years being 37%. Incidence of anaemia was 62% in females and 38% in males. In present study, 130 cases (65%) were among vegetarians and 90 cases (45%) were among non-vegetarians; 76% cases were of low income group and 24% were middle income group. The commonest presenting symptoms were general weakness and tiredness (84%).

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous intra-cerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is a major public health problem with an annual incidence of 10–30 cases per 100 000 population, accounting for 2 million (10–15%) of approximately 15 million strokes, which occur worldwide each year. AIMS AND OBJECTIVE: The main objective of this study is (i) to correlate volume and location of lesion (hemorrhage) with clinical picture and prognosis, (ii) to determine clinical and CT parameters or ndings that could predict prognosis. METHODS AND MATERIAL: The study was conducted on 100 Patients with diagnosis of spontaneous ICH and who were diagnosed and admitted to MGM Medical College and LSK Hospital, Kishanganj, Bihar, India from 01/08/19 to 30/07/2021, age ranged between 18 and 75 years. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) spontaneous ICHs on the basis of C.T scan and (2) No antecedent disease such as arterio venous malformations, tumour, anticoagulation therapy, cerebral aneurysms, or traumatic events. RESULT: The haemorrhagic stroke on the basis of site, putamen is 44, frontal and parietal is 5 and temporal is 3 in numbers with weakness of limbs or focal neurological decit was commonest presentation associated with hypertension and diabetes as risk factors was 50% and 07% respectively. The lobar and deep haemorrhages constitute 18% and 75% respectively but the mean volume of haemorrhage 28.44cm3 and 36.52cm3. CONCLUSION: In present study the location of ICH was lobar in 18% deep ganglionic (+ventricle) in 75%, cerebellar in 3% and pontine or midbrain in 4% of the patients. The location of the hematoma in 13 (72.7%) of the LH patients was conned to a single cerebral lobe, while in 5 (27.2%) of LH patients, hematoma was located in two lobes
