Cell: 9443160026 [email protected]

FromPresident’sDesk...

hearty congratulation to every member of our IMAfamily who stood firm and executed variety ofagitations to thwart the attempt of the CentralGovernment to introduce an ill contented and illintended non-democratic anti -federal NMC Bill. Thevoice echoed in unison vibrating the feelings of everymodern medicine doctor, in the Mahapanchayat aconglomeration of nearly 25000 doctors in thecorridors of Delhi was phenomenal.

We are delighted and gratified today we couldmake formidable impact in the parliament and wedemand any policy on health shall be implemented inthis country only after thorough discussion with ourIndian Medical Association representing 3 lakhsdoctors.

Though the main concerns of IMA on Bridgecourse and Exit exams were dropped in the NMC billwe clamour amendments to be made in MCI (IMC act1956) to make it more transparent but not replace itwith NMC.

As we are chocked with many constrainingissues on smooth functioning of our hospitals, wehave called for a brainstorming session of hospitalowners by the Nursing home Board and taken someconcrete decision.”Save small and medium sizedhospitals mission” is initiated by IMA Tamilnadu.

Insurance sector is creating havoc in our missionto execute health care delivery in an affordable andaccessible way. The tariff for each procedure mainlydone in small and medium sized hospitals are remainedunchanged for many years amidst mounting rise inthe cost of sustaining a hospital. We embark intoscientifically analysing costing procedure for eachevents in hospital using a qualified costingaccountant and will submit the same to Governmentand insurance sectors. We demand to all insurancesectors to raise the package rate and constitute a

Dear Colleagues and Elders,

Warm greetings from your IMA familyHead quarters. I am delighted to convey my

functioning grievance redressal forum. As an interimrelief, we are demanding 50% increase in the rate asthe minimum wage act has increased ouradministrative expenses by more than 200%.

We believe our state Government especially ourfriendly Health Minister and Health Secretary willunderstand our situation and help us. We have issuednotice to the insurance sectors by June 7th if noamicable solution are reached we will be exerted andcompelled to withdraw from the insurance sectors inour hospitals.

IMA is literally shocked to note the steep rise inthe minimum wage act 2018. The revision is mandatedon SC guidance and done after a period of 9 years.We deem it as our duty to enhance the pay of ourclinical staff. However the exorbitant raise in the non-clinical administrative and non-skilled staff inhospitals much higher than the same notified job inother industries are unacceptable. We haverepresented to labour ministry, to introduce this raisein wages for clinical people in phased manner (25%raise each year till the rate is achieved) and reducethe wage for non-clinical people at par with otherindustries. If lobbying couldn’t yield results, IMAplan to approach the court for justice.

I invoke all our members to come out of pettylocal politics, selfish interest and stand firm withaltruistic vision to ensure excellence in our healthcare delivery and patient safety by connecting withpeople and consolidating our fraternity.

Prioritiseand designate IMA as your family. Iadduce you all to come above your safety zone andspare some time for your brothers in our IMA family.I extend this clarion call with the ambition we all canraise in unison and fight for our rights and health ofour community.Together we can win and marchahead.

Regards

TreatmentThe treatment for thalassemias depend on the

type and severity of the disorder. Thalassemia traitpatients do not require treatment, but it is importantfor them to know that if they marry anotherthalassemia trait individual then they have a risk ofbearing a child who has thalassemia major.

Treatment for thalassemia major patientsincludes regular blood transfusions of packed redcells to keep the hemoglobin more than 10 g/dl, careneeds to be taken to prevent diseases like hepatitisB, C and HIV, through proper blood banking practicesand testing of donors. The frequency of transfusionis dependent on the severity of disease, spleen size,allo- immunization and other factors. Discussrequirement and changes of frequency with yourtreating doctor.

The patient needs regular follow up formeasurement of iron levels, when the iron levels areincreased iron chelation (key-LAY-shun) therapyneeds to be started. This is available in the form ofseveral medicines which must be taken under thesupervision of a qualified doctor to ensure the bestiron removal as well as prevention of toxicity. Ironoverload is important to treat, as the extra iron is toxicto the body and excess iron can damage the liver,heart and affects the endocrine glands leading toshort stature, delayed or even absent puberty,diabetes etc. Bone problems like osteoporosis andincreased risk of fractures are seen in older childrenwith thalassemia. Folic acid supplements arerecommended for all patients with hemolytic anemia,calcium and other supplements are also given to thepatients, as and when they are needed and may betailored to the needs of the patient.

April 2018 08TIMA News Letter

Chelation medicines available in India

Deferasirox is a pill, dissolved in water or juiceand taken once daily, preferably on an emptystomach. Side effects include, nausea, vomiting,diarrhea, and raised liver function tests.

Deferiprone is a pill which as an iron chelator,it can cause cartilage problems in the joints andmay cause decrease in white blood cells in theblood.

Deferoxamine is an injection given slowly underthe skin, usually with a small portable pump usedovernight. This therapy needs to be given overa long period of time in order for it to be effective.

Blood and Marrow Stem Cell Transplant

The only known curative treatment is a bonemarrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant. Thisprocedure replaces the defective blood forming cellswith healthy blood forming cells from another person(allogeneic / allo-), usually a brother or sister who areHLA matched (genetic match suitable for transplant)and do not have the defective genes. It cannot bedone from the cord blood of the patient, as this alsohas the same defective gene. Cord blood transplantcan be done from a sibling or another person but isnot usually preferred for thalassemia patients, due torisk of rejection, but can tried if no bone marrowmatched donor is available. Even cord blood needsHLA matching. Sometimes a non related HLAmatched transplant BMT may be performed, theresults are not as good as with an HLA matchedsibling, there are more risks and complications andthe cost is more. However, this may be suitable forsome patients without a sibling donor.

The benefit of bone marrow transplant is thatafter this procedure the patient will not need furtherblood transfusions, but in patients with iron overloadthey may still need iron chelation for several years toreduce their iron levels. All transplants do have risks(allo -BMT, PBSCT or cord blood), patients maydevelop complications during and after the procedure,the serious complications include infections, veno-occlusive disease, graft versus host disease, rejectionand even death. Usually the risks are more in olderchildren or those with enlarged liver and spleen andliver fibrosis. Patients with very high iron overloadcan develop heart problems even during thetransplant and liver failure, hence, proper ironchelation is needed before transplant. Proper iron

chelation, right from infancy will help to reduce thechances of complications.

Hydroxyurea is an oral medicine that is a fetalhemoglobin inducer, and most commonly used inthalassemia intermedia and sickle cell disease. It isHydroxyurea is cytotoxic, anti metabolic medicine.The exact mechanisms by which it increases fetalhemoglobin (a normal hemoglobin) is not fullyunderstood. Hydroxyurea treatment increases ã-mRNA expression leads to an improvement in the á/non-á chain imbalance and more effective red cellproduction, thereby increasing the hemoglobin andneed for blood transfusion. Hydroxyurea should beused at a starting dose of 10 mg/kg/day, check forresponse every 3 months. The dose may be increasedto a maximum dose of 20 mg/kg/day. If no response itmay be discontinued 6 months.

Complications of Thalassemias

With better blood transfusion practices andchelation therapy even patient without bone marrowtransplant are surviving longer and many leadproductive lives.

The complications which may occur in olderthalassemia patients include

Heart –including heart failure and arrhythmia(irregular heart beat) and Liver Diseases

Thalassemia patients are prone to certaininfections due to their iron overload status andif the spleen has been removed they are more atrisk.

Many thalassemics have bone problems,including osteoporosis (weakened bones). Thisis a condition in which bones are weak and brittleand can break easily.

Endocrine problems like diabetes, thyroid, parathyroid problems etc can also occur.

Genetic Counseling

If you or your family members have thalassemias,talk to your doctor who can help you before planninga family. This will help you understand the chancesof passing on the defect to your children and helpyou have an unaffected child through prenataltesting.

Prenatal testing involves taking a sample ofamniotic fluid or chorio villus sample (CVS) tissuetests done on the fluid or tissue can show if the babyhas thalassemia.

RESISTANTHYPERTENSION

Dr.A.Kader Sahib MD, MRCP, DNBConsultant interventional cardiologist

Apollo and Ayesha Hospital, Trichy

Definition: Resistant hypertension is defined as persistent high

blood pressure (SBP > 140 and / or DBP > 90mmhg) in spite of lifestyle changes andadministration of three different antihypertensivedrugs, one of them being a diuretic.

Subjects whose blood pressures are controlled onlywith the help of more than three drugs are alsocalled resistant hypertension.Resistant hypertension can be arbitrarily divided

into true resistance and pseudoresistance. It is essentialto identify pseudo resistant causes before labelling thepatient as a truly resistant hypertensive.Causes of trueresistance include increased salt intake, drugs, obesity,excess alcohol consumption, elderly, diabetes,obstructive sleep apnea and secondary causes ofhypertension.Evaluation of a patient with resistant hypertension:

Evaluation should include basic investigations forhypertension and specific work up in identifying asecondary cause.

Basic Studies History taking and physical examination

(with a particular focus on theidentification of cardiac enlargement,abdominal bruits, peripheral pulses, andfunduscope changes)

Urinalysis (for evidence ofmicroalbuminuria)

Blood chemical analysis, includingcreatinine, blood glucose, potassium,uric acid lipids

Electrocardiography Additional studies in patients with

resistant or difficult-to-treat hypertension Repeated measurement of home or

ambulatory blood pressures Echocardiography Consideration of tests for causes of

secondary hypertension.

Specific work up to identify an underlying secondary cause

Secondary cause Prevalence Symptoms & signs Screening testsor findings

Optimization of 3 drug antihypertensivetherapy: ACE-I / ARB + calcium channel blocker +

diuretic is the preferred combination for apatient requiring three antihypertensives

Loop diuretic to be chosen as the diuretic ofchoice if GFR < 40 ml/min; otherwise choosechlorthalidone or hydrochlorothiazide

Optimize the drug timings and dosesChoosing the 4th drug: Substantial evidences point in favour of adding

an aldosterone receptor antagonist as thepreferred 4th drug. This should be especiallyconsidered when serum potassium is in thelower limits even after treatment with ACE-Ior ARB

Newer beta blockers like nebivilol andbisoprolol are currently recommended only inresistant hypertension. However, they can bestarted earlier if patient has associated

tachycardia, CAD, LV dysfunction. Alpha blockers would be an ideal agent for

patients with associated prostate enlargement A combination of hydralazine and nitrate will

benefit resistant hypertensive patients withrenal failure

Newer modalities of treatment:Renal denervation: it involves a minimally

invasive endovascular catheter based approachusing radiofrequency energy to selectively disruptrenal nerves. Though the initial trials werepromising, more data are required to confirm theirefficacy.

Carotid baroreflex activation: stimulatingelectrodes are implanted in the perivascular spacearound the carotid sinuses and reduce sympatheticoutflow from the cardiovascular control centresfrom the brain. The data are however are lessconvincing and there is a concern regarding safetyof this technique.

Dear IMA FSS family, Vanakkam.

We have had a tremendous unity and unprecedented activity againstthe NMC, as well to achieve our other demands like exemptingsingle Doctor clinic from CEA, Central Act to protect Violenceagainst Medicos etc, which have been agreed to at the interministerial meetings held last year, but are happily being slept over!

The NMC bill could not be introduced during this session only dueto our unprecedented protest.

All made possible by the committed fighting leadership of NP DrRAVI Wankhedar, ably assisted by our active and dedicated HSGDr Tandon& their commitment to serve our IMA & the societyand not to play to the gallery or get personal glory. TN withenthusiastic participation was a pride of the national movementdirected by Pres Dr. J.A. JAYALAL & SEC Dr. B. SRIDHAR.

already in FSS. For others, who missed joining FSS, and are abovethe age limit at present, FSS 2 gives a great opportunity to join thisNEW FSS.

The National Commission, inPoona Medical foundation RubyHall clinic V Maruti Rao LTitkare, 1995 (1) CPJ 2321; hasheld that there can be no questionof negligence by reason of failureto supply hospital recordspertaining to the surgical operationperformed (unless a legal duty wascast on the hospital to furnishsuch documents to a patient). Itwould be sufficient if a dischargecard wherein the particulars ofdiagnosis and treatmentadministered are mentioned.

In vijaymma V ApolloDiagnostic Centre, 2002 (1) CPJ230 (AP SCDRC) 2-

Non- issue of discharge cardafter death of the patient was heldto be a deficiency in service.

Can medical record be calledfor by the court or police orconsumer Forum / Commission?

It must be remembered thatunder Sec 91 of the code ofcriminal procedure, 1973

it would be necessary to handover the records to the relevantauthorities when asked to do so.

Can withholding from or nonproviding of hospital record to thecourt or consumer forum lead toadverse inference against thehospital?

Yes, withholding of hospitalrecord can lead to adverseinference against the hospital asis evident from the case

Nizam’s Institute of MedicalSciences V prasanth S Dhanaka2009 (2) CPJ 61 3

A special word about handingover X-rays and reports to thepatient – many a time, X-rays andpathological reports are given tothe patient at the time ofdischarge. When a complaint isfiled, the hospital/doctor may nothave the X-rays or Pathologicalreport. So if the X-rays are notretained, it is mandatory that thedoctor must write down name,number and date on every X-rayand enter the findings of every X-ray in the indoor record. He shouldalso obtain the signature of thepatient at the time of handing overthe X-rays and other Reports.Evidentary value of MedicalRecords –

Medical record maintenanceis an important aspect of themanagement of a patient. It isimportant for the doctors andhospitals to properly maintain therecords of patients. It will help thedoctors to prove that the treatmentwas carried out properly, which
