Background: This survey was designed to assess and evaluate the prescription pattern of antibiotic drugs on patients suffering from ENT infection within Dhaka metropolis.Methods: A cross sectional, observational and prospective study was conducted from January to June 2015 in the out-patients (OPD) and in-patients (IPD) of ENT department at different general and specialized government and private hospitals (Dhaka Medical College and Hospital, Sir Solimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital, Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College and Hospital, Dhaka Community Medical College and Hospital) within Dhaka city.300 prescriptions were collected and randomly evaluated for this present study.Results: Out of 300 patients, 220 (73.33%) were male and 80 (26.67%) were female (including children and adults) where most of the patients were outpatients 262 (87.33%). In the patients information section it was observed that approximately 93.33% prescription contained antibiotic drugs and almost all prescription (100%) contained antibiotic drugs along with other drugs such as 80.67%PPI (proton pump inhibitors), 76.67% analgesic and 51.33% vitamin / iron supplements. From this analysis we found that 19.33% prescription contained single antibiotic drug, 80.67% contained two antibiotic drugs and no prescription contained more than two antibiotic drugs. Most of the prescribed drugs were administered orally (12% capsule, 80% tablet form). Out of 473 prescribed antibiotic drugs majority of them lie underβ-Lactam (54%) class followed by cephalosporin (46.33%) class in which maximum drugs (92%) were prescribed by their brand names.Conclusions: Prescribing more than one antibiotics was commonly encountered in this study indicating the occurrence of polypharmacy. Interventions to rectify over prescription of antibiotics, use of brand names, inadequate labelling of drugs is necessary to improve rational drug use. Standard treatment guidelines, hospital formulary, and educational intervention become essential to modify this behaviour to benefit the patient.

“…2) The physiological functions of chicken soup or extract have become a subject of study in recent years. Human study demonstrated such effects as improvement of nasal mucus secretion, 3) sustaining strength in strenuous, repetitive exercise, 4) enhancement of the metabolic rate, 5,6) improvement of the serum iron level recovery after blood donation, 7) increases in beneficial contents in maternal milk, 8) and improvement of skin conditions. 9) Furthermore, in animal studies, inhibition of blood pressure increase 10,11) and attenuation of stress-induced response such as a decrease in blood glucose and lipid metabolism 12,13) have been reported.…”

Chicken soup has long been considered anecdotally healthful in Western and Southeast Asian countries. In this study, we examined the effects of a 2-week intake of chicken soup on mood states and of a single and 2-week intake on peripheral blood flow. Thirty healthy volunteers (7 men and 23 women aged 20.5 ± 1.4 years) participated in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study with 2 weeks treatment and washout periods. They were randomly assigned to two groups, and daily received either chicken soup or placebo soup. Mood states by the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire and peripheral blood flow by a laser-Doppler blood flow imaging system were assessed before and after each treatment period. On the first day of the treatment periods, the effect of single intake on peripheral blood flow was investigated. The 2-week intake of chicken soup significantly reduced the tension-anxiety (T-A) score compared to the placebo soup (p < 0.05). The single intake of chicken soup significantly increased peripheral blood flow as compared with the base value (20 min after intake p < 0.01; 25, 30 and 45 min after intake p < 0.001) and that of the placebo soup (25, 30 and 60 min after intake p < 0.05; 45 min after intake p < 0.01). The 2-week intake of chicken soup also significantly increased peripheral blood flow over that of the placebo soup (p < 0.001). Chicken soup was considered to have improved mood states such as tension and anxiety and increased peripheral blood flow.
