Overactivation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may contribute to poor clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19.
The efficacy of vitamin C for hospitalized patients with COVID-19 is uncertain.
To assess the feasibility, tolerance and effectiveness of enteral nutrition in critically ill patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation prone position for severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS).Prospective observational study conducted a multidisciplinary critical care unit tertiary hospital from January 2013 until July 2015. All with ARDS who received during period were included. Patients' demographics, severity illness (Acute Physiology Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE...
<ns4:p><ns4:bold>Background: </ns4:bold>The epidemiology of critical illness in India is distinct from high-income countries. However, limited data exist on resource availability, staffing patterns, case-mix and outcomes illness. Critical care registries, by enabling a continual evaluation service provision, epidemiology, availability quality, can bridge these gaps information. In January 2019, we established the Indian Registry IntenSive to map capacity describe outcomes. this report,...
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the applications of mobile phones in day to care epileptic patients as a diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic tool. Methods Detailed search various field epileptology was made MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials, EMBASE, CINAHL, LILACS corresponding developer websites were also looked into regarding their technical specifications user friendliness. Results A plethora apps are available across platforms especially Android, iOS Windows....
Height measurement in the critical care unit is necessary for estimating ideal body weight and providing titrated patient care. In this study, we compare three methods of height assessment evaluate their level correlation inter-observer reproducibility. Heights 100 consecutive patients were assessed independently by two nurses supine, four point, arm span methods. Paired sample t-test, one-way analysis variance, Tukey's honestly significant difference post-hoc Bland-Altman plots performed to...
We aimed to study the prevalence of frailty, evaluate risk factors, and understand impact on outcomes in India. This was a prospective registry-embedded cohort across 7 intensive care units (ICUs) included adult patients anticipated stay for at least 48 h. Primary exposure as defined by score ≥ 5 Clinical Frailty Scale primary outcome ICU mortality. Secondary in-hospital mortality resource utilization. used generalized linear models factors model association between frailty outcomes. 838...

In critically ill patients, acute kidney injury (AKI) and sepsis often coexist. This confounds the assessment of outcomes both AKI in these patients. Hence, this study, we compare with sepsis, without against a control cohort comprising patients neither nor sepsis.Prospective observational study conducted our critical care unit (CCU) between January July 2009. Data including demographic details, physiology chronic health evaluation (APACHE) III score, presence AKI, intensive (ICU) length...

Abstract Perampanel is a non-competitive antagonist at the AMPA (alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazoleproprionic acid) subtype of ionotropic glutamate receptor. It approved as an adjunctive therapy in focal epilepsy with or without secondarily generalised seizures patients aged >12 years. This in-depth review describes structure, mechanism action, pharmacokinetic profile, indications, dosage and efficacy, contraindications, possible drug interactions, adverse effect profile its...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the ONSD with B Scan(10 MHz probe) and MRI(fat suppressed T2 weighted sequence) in patients Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension(IIH) to compare significance of diagnosing raised intracranial pressure. BACKGROUND: The optic nerve sheath is direct communication subarachnoid space which forms physiological basis for using Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter(ONSD) as a surrogate pressure measurement. METHODS: 15 IIH were selected according Modified Dandy Criteria subjected...
such as maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), negative force (NIF), rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI), and imaging modalities diaphragmatic fluoroscopy ultrasound.However, to date, the transdiaphragmatic twitch in response phrenic nerve stimulation continues remain gold standard for assessment of DW. [10][11][12] Nevertheless, ultrasound is evolving preferred bedside tool, considering that it noninvasive, inexpensive, easily available, repeatable, allows serial assessments. 13Ultrasound-based
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of an online educational intervention on improving knowledge antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and stewardship among final-year medical students in Chennai, India. METHODS This was a prospective ‘before-after’ study conducted across 5 colleges Participants who were (fourth year) undergraduate administered pretest to baseline knowledge. Students then provided access material comprising 20 short lectures. Lectures delivered by content experts covered range topics...
Objective: To assess the correlation between admission Aphasia Rapid Test (ART) score with Handicap scale (AHS) at discharge and to study variation in ART during period of stay. Background: rapid test is a quick, reliable reproducible language developed by C.Azuar A.Leger. Their showed high inter-rater reliability lack test-retest effect. Design/Methods: 46 patients who presented features acute stroke deficits were included. All underwent assessment addition detailed neurological examination...
Disseminated Cysticercosis is a systemic parasitic infection by the larval stage of pork tape worm Taenia solium. It presents predominantly with neurological and extra symptoms.
