Few efforts have attempted to quantify how well countries deliver end-of-life (EOL) care.To score, grade, and rank (and Hong Kong Taiwan) on the quality of EOL care based assessments from country experts using a novel preference-based scoring algorithm.We fielded survey around world, asking them assess performance their 13 key indicators care. Results were combined with preference weights caregiver-proxies recently deceased patients generate preference-weighted summary score. The scores then...
Neuropathic pain is difficult to diagnose and treat with certainty. So the aim of study was evaluate comparative clinical efficacy pregabaline amitriptyline gabapentin in neuropathic cancer pain.

Cancer patients are often poly-symptomatic which distressingly affects their quality of lives (QOLs). Alhough, conventional management provides adequate symptom control, yet is coupled with some limitations. Complementary therapies (CTs) have shown beneficial effects in cancer for symptomatic relief. The aim this article to provide evidence-based review commonly used CTs care. Hypnosis has promising evidence be managing symptoms such as pain, chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting, distress,...
India imposed one of the world's strictest population-wide lockdowns on March 25, 2020 for COVID-19.

Novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection is associated with hypoxemic respiratory failure. Mechanical ventilation (MV) reported to have high mortality in SARS-CoV-2 acute distress syndrome. We aimed investigate whether awake prone positioning (PP) can improve oxygenation and prevent intubation when employed early.This prospective interventional study included proven disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients room air saturation 93% or less.
