Understanding the pathophysiology of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection remains a significant challenge our times. The gingival crevicular fluid being representative systemic status and having proven track record detecting viruses biomarkers forms logical basis for evaluating presence severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2). study aimed to assess (GCF) evidence SARS-CoV-2 in 33 patients who were deemed be COVID-19 positive upon nasopharyngeal sampling. An attempt was also...
Abstract Background: Hindi translation and cross-language validation of the parent version parent–child relationship, Loneliness Dissatisfaction Questionnaire, Conflict Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ) would expedite generating data from India. The present study aimed to translate forms original English Parent–Child Relationship (PCRQ-P), LSDQ-P, CBQ-P into evaluate its psychometric properties. Methods: adaptation PCRQ, LSDQ, CBQ were done following World Health Organization guidelines. Parents...
Characteristics of laboratory findings COVID-19 patients are great significance for diagnosis and treatment. Studies that have analysed the variations in hepatic profile correlation with inflammatory markers SARS-CoV-2 limited.We retrospectively liver function tests 170 admitted confirmed tertiary care centre, Post Graduate Institute Medical Education Research (PGIMER), India, using Roche Cobas Autoanalyzer.Number normal enzyme levels were 63 (41.5%), while raised any enzymes 89 (58.5%), out...
Introduction: The key role of vaccines is to prevent infections caused by viruses and bacteria. Many adults remain unaware unvaccinated. Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) a pathogenic human herpes virus that causes varicella (chickenpox) in both children adults. Only fraction the population India receives vaccination through private practitioners, as it not part national immunisation programme.

Abstract Background Bleeding in Dengue has been attributed to dysfunction intrinsic pathway, however, there are no clear evidence of its use as a predictor severity or mortality adult patients with fever. Our hypothesis is that prolonged aPTT associated life threatening bleeding and Methods retrospective analysis all diagnosed fever admitted during the months July October 2023 was undertaken. The diagnosis established based on NS1 antigen positive (day 1-5) and/or IgM 7-12). Patients dual...
Abstract Background Rabies is the deadliest infectious disease, with a nearly 100% fatality. Due its fear, it often overlooked, resulting in scarcity of comprehensive knowledge, most which derived from retrospective studies. This prospective study aimed to narrow this knowledge gap.Table 1:Clinical features Table 1: summarizing frequency clinical both forms rabies at time presentation Methods observational included 36 participants. Detailed history and examination was done, Milwaukee...

The causative agent, Orientia tsutsugamushi more than 20 prototype due to variable 56-kDa outer membrane protein. It crucial know prevailing types for success diagnostic immunoassays and...
The aetiology of pyrexia unknown origin (PUO) varies dramatically according to epidemiology. We studied the cause and spectrum PUO in Indian adults. A total 152 patients (112 prospectively 40 retrospectively) met Petersdorf Beeson's criteria. diagnostic evaluation was guided by potentially clues, based on a ‘step-wise’ approach. five main categories, i.e. infectious, neoplastic, non-infectious inflammatory, miscellaneous undiagnosed comprised 43.4%, 21.5%, 19.7%, 2.0% 12.5%, respectively....

Abstract The efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for the prevention COVID-19 was contentious. In this randomized control double-blind clinical trial, asymptomatic individuals with direct contact laboratory-confirmed cases were into PEP/HCQ (N = 574) and control/placebo 594) group. group received tablet HCQ 400 mg q 12 hourly on day one followed by once weekly 3 weeks, control/Placebo matching Placebo. incidence similar (p 0.761) in PEP [N 24 out 574,...
A prospective study was done in 311 women undergoing induction of labour for the formulation a new score, which will be more objective than conventional Bishop's score. Pre-induction cervical assessment by transvaginal sonographic parameters followed digital examination. Labour successful 79.09%. score formulated using having independent association and weighting individual components given according to its regression coefficients. with maximum value 13 proposed. The best cut-off point...
Scrub typhus caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi presents as an acute febrile illness with a varied presentation from mild to fatal disease in the absence of appropriate antibiotic treatment. Performing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on eschar sample acts rapid diagnostic tool early stage scrub when blood is negative.
