ABSTRACT
Background: Any anaesthetic procedure, either regional or general, has some potential for complications. For this reason, careful preoperative assessment and adequate planning of appropriate anesthetic are the cornerstones in safe pediatric anesthetic practice. But in Bangladesh, we have very limited research-based information regarding the complication of anaesthesia in children. Aim of the Study: The aim of this study was to assess the complications of anesthesia in children. Methods: This was a prospective observational study. The study was conducted in Department of Aneaesthesia, ICU & Pain Medicine, Shaheed Suharawardy Medical College and Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from January 2018 to December 2018. In total 62 children, aged between 1 day and 15 years prepared for anesthesia associated surgery were selected as the study subjects. The incidence of intra-operative as well as post- anesthesia recovery room complications was recorded and analyzed. Data were analyzed and by using MS Excel and SPSS version 23.0 program as per necessity. Results: In this study, in analyzing the complications among the participants we observed that, bronchospam and bradycardia and hypotension were the most common intraoperative complications which were found in 11%, 10% and 8% cases respectively. On the other hand, tachycardia, prolonged unconsciousness and hypoventilation were found as the most common postoperative complications among the participants which were found in 19%, 10% and 8% cases respectively. Besides those complications some cases with restlessness, respiratory arrest, pain, shivering, hypertension, hemorrhage and laryngospasm were found in both the periods. Conclusion: Anesthesia-related morbidity and mortality can be minimized with early identification and prompt management of any complication. In this current study we observed that, preterm infants are major prone to develop respiratory complications because of using anesthesia.

ABSTRACT
Crop enhancement programs mostly depends on the genetic variability and the heritability of desirable traits for a successful breeding program. The degree and type of genetic variability aid the breeder in deciding the selection benchmarks and breeding schemes to be used for improvement purposes. This research was carried out at the Nasarawa State University, Faculty of Agriculture Teaching and Research Farm, to study the inter-relationships among ten (10) designated traits of cowpea comprising, plant height, Plant weight, number leaves per plant, number of branches, no. of pods per plant, number of seeds per plant, number of root noodles, weight of biomass, weight of pod, and 100-seed weight. Results from this study indicated the significance among the studied traits. The study indicates the magnitude of correlation coefficient among the studied traits. The positive correlation among most of the traits indicates the presence of strong relationship among them due to preponderance of genetic variance and genetic factors in the expression of traits. The result of grain yield showed high significant and positive correlation with plant weight, no of leave per plant, number of seeds per pod, weight biomass, seeds weight, and plant height which indicates that the traits are important in the improvement of cowpea yield through direct selection.

ABSTRACT
Plateau pressure and peak airway pressure are directly related to the poor outcome of ventilator supported patients. Monitoring of these parameters helps clinicians in early identification of impending mortality and initiation of measures to prevent the same. This is a retrospective study in which 100 patients who were on ventilator support for >24 hours and died there after were studied. Here patient’s ventilatory parameters like plateau pressure and peak airway pressure were collected at base line, 1 hour, 30 min, 15 min, 5 min prior to cardiac arrest. Other ventilatory parameters like tidal volume and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) were also collected. In all the studied patients plateau pressure and peak airway pressure at 1hour, 30min, 15min, and 5min prior to cardiac arrest were high compared to base line values. These values were statistically significant as ‘P’ value was < 0.05. We conclude that a continuous, sustained rise in plateau and peak airway pressure above the baseline is useful in predicting mortality in mechanically ventilated patients.
