Background Identifying risk factors for poor outcomes can help with stratification and targeting of treatment. Risk mortality exacerbations have been identified in bronchiectasis but almost exclusively studied European North American populations. This study investigated the outcome a large population patients enrolled India. Methods The Multicentre Bronchiectasis Audit Research Collaboration (EMBARC) Respiratory Network India (EMBARC-India) registry is prospective observational adults...
Hepatic functions of 61 children, diagnosed to have dengue infection (DI), aged 2 months 12 years comprising 37 cases fever (DF), 16 with hemorrhagic (DHF), and eight shock syndrome (DSS) were prospectively studied during the acute attack. Hepatomegaly (74 per cent), epistaxis (26 jaundice (25 petechial rashes (18 cent) common clinical manifestations DI. On admission, levels serum aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine (ALT) alkaline phosphatase (AP) raised in 80-87 cent children hepatomegaly...
Abstract Aim To highlight the regional difference in prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and to explore determinants variability Indian industrial population. Methods A cross‐sectional survey was carried out among employees their family members (10 930 individuals, mean age 39.6 years, 6764 male) eleven medium‐to‐large industries from diverse sites India, using a stratified random sampling technique. Information on behavioural, clinical biochemical risk factors DM obtained, through...
Religious mass gatherings are increasingly common in Iraq and can harbour considerable public health risks.This study was aimed at determining morbidity mortality patterns hospitals Karbala city, during the gathering for Ashura 2010.We conducted a cross-sectional on attendees 3 city.The period divided into pre-event, event, post-event phases.Morbidity data were obtained from hospital registry books coroner's office.About 80% of 18 415 consultations emergency rooms.Average daily room...
Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention guidelines recommend lifetime risk stratification for primary of CVD, but no such has been performed in India to date. Methods The authors estimated short-term and predicted CVD among 10 054 disease-free, adult Indians the 20–69-year age group who participated a nationwide factor surveillance study. study population was then stratified into high (≥10% 10-year or diabetes), low (<10%)/high short-term/low groups. Results mean (SD)...
Chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) remains a severe disabling disease causing significant amount of mortality and morbidity worldwide.The incidence severity this condition is quite obscure.The initial inciting event, the reason progression, natural history predictors adverse outcomes are not yet adequately clarified.From Indian subcontinent, data regarding limited.But with advent multi-detector computed tomography, understanding gradually improving.As most available...
Background.Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a common disease condition attributing to significant mortality and morbidity worldwide.Acute cardiac events (ACEs) are one of the most life-threatening complications in patients with severe pneumonia.Methods.Retrospective study burden ACE 105 admitted CAP.Results.Twenty-five (CURB-65) score ranging between 0 -2 did not require intensive care unit (ICU) admission were ward high dependency unit.Of these, 12 developed 4 required be shifted...
INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the highly infectious SARS-CoV-2 has affected over 15.9 million people across 200 countries and more than 643,000 deaths.[1] As on July 27, 2020, India ~14.5 lakh cases of number is still increasing.[2] coronavirus a virus spreads through droplets generated during coughing, sneezing, talking, even breathing. Indirect contact via contaminated surfaces another possible cause infection.[3] may remain viable plastic (polypropylene) stainless steel for...
Background.Pleural effusions have always been a challenge to manage.We discuss cost-effective way of managing pleural using fiberoptic bronchoscope, through an intercostal drain (ICD).Methods.Sixty consecutive patients with undiagnosed underwent bronchoscopic pleuroscopy in tertiary care multi-speciality referral hospital South India.Under local anesthesia and conscious sedation, ICD were introduced into the space allow insertion FOB.The parietal pleura, lung surface, diaphragm visualised...
In this paper, the feasibility of automated and accurate in vivo measurements vascular parameters continuously non-invasively using ultrasound sensor is presented. Vascular such as pulse wave velocity (PWV), blood pressure (BP), arterial compliance (AC) stiffness index (SI) are affluent indicators cardiovascular disorders needs to be monitored during surgeries follow-up procedures. Cuff based or invasive catheter techniques considered gold standard measure BP fed manually compute AC SI which...
<h3>Introduction</h3> As polysomnography is both expensive and not easily accessible to the susceptible population, screening tools, scores are used in order prescreen patients at a high risk. We compared STOP BANG questionnaire with recently described NoSAS score for comparison of sensitivity, specificity, positive negative predictive values. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare ability Scoring systems predict SDB general outpatient population. <h3>Materials Methods</h3> 120 who presented our...
<b>Introduction:</b> Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is strongly associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a combination often termed syndrome Z. There wide individual variation in the duration of apneas and hypopnoeas. Some have few but prolonged apneas, others frequent brief apneas. Prolonged are more severe hypoxia. Desaturation index (DSI) may correlate better some complications comorbidities OSA than Apnea Hypopnea Index(AHI), as intermittent hypoxias causing oxidative stress underlie...
This paper presents the feasibility of automated and accurate in vivo measurements vascular parameters using an ultrasound sensor. The continuous non-invasive monitoring certain parameters, such as pulse wave velocity (PWV), blood pressure (BP), arterial compliance (AC), stiffness index (SI), is crucial for assessing cardiovascular disorders during surgeries follow-up procedures. Traditional methods, including cuff-based or invasive catheter techniques, serve gold standard measuring BP,...

Abstract IgA vasculitis (IgAV), a small-vessel vasculitis, is more frequently seen in children than adults. IgAV triggered by various bacterial and viral infective agents. Here, we are describing case of following ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination. A 39-year-old male presented with skin rash, joint pain, pain abdomen. Symptoms started within 3 days His clinical examination investigations lead to diagnosis IgAV. After ruling out other possible etiologies, concluded it as vaccine-induced few cases...
