Since I had the opportunity to work in Employment Section of Biman Bangladesh Airlines Ltd, I tried to capture practically their human resource management.

I tried to measure that how many of practices Biman Bangladesh follows & what are the problems of implementing these practices. Finally with little survey I have mentioned some findings that I have observed during my course of internship in the Biman Bangladesh LTD. Based on these findings I have tried to make some recommendations for the Biman Bangladesh Airlines LTD.Fahad Ibne HashmatB. Business Administratio

Venoarterial PCO2 difference: a marker of postoperative cardiac output in children with congenital heart disease

OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between venoarterial carbon dioxide gradient (DeltapCO2) and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) in children after cardiac surgery. STUDY DESIGN: A cohort study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: The Paediatric cardiac intensive care unit of the Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from June 2006 to May 2007. METHODOLOGY: All children admitted in the paediatric cardiac intensive care after complete repair of congenital heart defect using cardiopulmonary bypass were included in the study. Simultaneous arterial and central venous blood gas samples were obtained from a catheter placed in the artery (either radial or femoral) and superior vena cava respectively. Linear regression analysis was performed between ScvO2 and DeltapCO2. RESULTS: Fifty seven children aged from 5 days to 14 years were included and 272-paired simultaneous arterial and central venous samples were analyzed. Mean venous pCO2 was 47.82+/-9.03 mmHg and mean arterial pCO2 was 40.50+/-9.06 mmHg. One hundred seventy four samples had ScvO2 \u3e 70% with mean DeltapCO2 of 5.44+/-2.55 mmHg and 98 samples had ScvO2 \u3c 70% with mean DeltapCO2 of 9.07+/-3.90 mmHg. With ScvO2 \u3c 70%, 77 samples had DeltapCO2 of \u3e 6 mmHg while only 21 samples had DeltapCO2 of \u3c 6 mmHg (p \u3c 0.001). On the contrary with ScvO2 \u3e 70%, 71 samples had DeltapCO2 of \u3e 6 mmHg and 103 samples had DeltapCO2 of \u3c 6 mmHg. Coefficient of correlation (R2) between 0.340 was ScvO2 and DeltapCO2. CONCLUSION: Elevated DeltapCO2 is practical and can be utilized as a useful adjunct to low ScvO2 in the assessment of low cardiac output syndrome in children after cardiac surgery

The Karachi intracranial stenosis study (KISS) Protocol: an urban multicenter case-control investigation reporting the clinical, radiologic and biochemical associations of intracranial stenosis in Pakistan.

Background: Intracranial stenosis is the most common cause of stroke among Asians. It has a poor prognosis with a high rate of recurrence. No effective medical or surgical treatment modality has been developed for the treatment of stroke due to intracranial stenosis. We aim to identify risk factors and biomarkers for intracranial stenosis and to develop techniques such as use of transcranial doppler to help diagnose intracranial stenosis in a cost-effective manner. Methods/Design: The Karachi Intracranial Stenosis Study (KISS) is a prospective, observational, case-control study to describe the clinical features and determine the risk factors of patients with stroke due to intracranial stenosis and compare them to those with stroke due to other etiologies as well as to unaffected individuals. We plan to recruit 200 patients with stroke due to intracranial stenosis and two control groups each of 150 matched individuals. The first set of controls will include patients with ischemic stroke that is due to other atherosclerotic mechanisms specifically lacunar and cardioembolic strokes. The second group will consist of stroke free individuals. Standardized interviews will be conducted to determine demographic, medical, social, and behavioral variables along with baseline medications. Mandatory procedures for inclusion in the study are clinical confirmation of stroke by a healthcare professional within 72 hours of onset, 12 lead electrocardiogram, and neuroimaging. In addition, lipid profile, serum glucose, creatinine and HbA1C will be measured in all participants. Ancillary tests will include carotid ultrasound, transcranial doppler and magnetic resonance or computed tomography angiogram to rule out concurrent carotid disease. Echocardiogram and other additional investigations will be performed at these centers at the discretion of the regional physicians. Discussion: The results of this study will help inform locally relevant clinical guidelines and effective public health and individual interventions
