Background: Blood cultures are needed to establish the diagnosis of bloodstream infections and useful in directing appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) among most frequently isolated pathogens blood an important cause nosocomial that typically resistant multiple antibiotics. The infection caused by CoNS is increasing as number artificial devices catheters being inserted through skin become higher. Another concern rising occurrence...

Citrus rootstocks play a significant role in tree health and productivity. Viroids (subviral pathogens) pose major threat to trees susceptible rootstocks, as they bring about slow decline (Ahlawat, 1997). In survey of citrus orchards certain parts Central India, symptoms bark scaling, splitting leaf yellowing were observed on Nagpur mandarin (Citrus reticulata) (seven plants) Mosambi sinensis) (10 grafted rough lemon Rangpur lime rootstocks. Following grafting scions from all these plants...

Background: The irrational use of antibiotics has led to the emergence multidrug-resistant pathogens. phenomenon minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) creeps occurs when organisms start showing raised MIC but within susceptible range giving an indication prevalence rise in resistant pathogens area.

A female in her early 50s presented with a yellowish-white retinal lesion fluffy margins along flame-shaped haemorrhages and cystoid macular oedema the left eye. Due to recent history of fever, presumptive diagnosis viral retinitis was made. Following no response antiviral therapy, patient underwent revision using multimodal imaging. Fundus fluorescein angiography optical coherence tomography (OCTA) revealed dense vascular network lesion, suggestive an isolated astrocytic hamartoma (RAH)....

Background Aseptic measures during blood sampling should be strictly enforced as identification of the true pathogen can act life-saving measure in patients. Contamination collection produce erroneous results which lead to unnecessary antibiotic usage. Thus, adequate training must imparted so that MBBS students learn correct technique and develop appropriate skills. This pre-post interventional study thus assessed students’ faculties’perception on venous through hands exercises a simulated...

Nursing is one of the oldest and noblest profession. profession that combines physical science, social nursing theory technology. seemed to have numerous career advantages. These include there demand for nurses, many job opportunity, choices in different speciality area. So, a study assess knowledge attitude among class XI XII standard students towards find co-relation between Quantitative descriptive survey research approach was adopted collect data from 176 selected by non-probability...

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic and its accompanying lockdown measures adversely affected institution-based education system including medical education. Internet-based online teaching emerged as the only alternative mode of continuing during those times. situation was novel to institutions, faculties, well students involved coordinated effort from all stakeholders for an efficient outcome ritual compulsory Aims Objectives: study planned obtain perspective point view various aspects MBBS...

Pacemakers are implanted as part of the treatment process conditions including symptomatic bradycardia and certain types heart block. One complication associated with pacemaker implantation is upper extremity deep venous thrombosis (UEDVT), which can subsequently lead to pulmonary embolism, limb loss, or death. We present case an 88-year-old male who developed UEDVT in his left subclavian, axillary, brachial, basilic veins shortly after dual chamber for treating The patient received...

Drug resistance studies ideally require two sputum specimens, one spot and early morning, for culture in Löwenstein-Jensen medium. Although the type of specimen plays a major role detection acid-fast bacilli using microscopy, this collection puts unnecessary pressure on patients. Two samples, another collected from 179 TB patients cetylpyridinium chloride processed culture, yielded respectively 89.9% 87.7% positivity, while positivity increased to 93.3% when both specimens were tested.

The stage at diagnosis is the single most important predictor of lung cancer outcome. Therefore, detecting early utmost importance. Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has proven beneficial in detection and mortality reduction cancer. Despite this, very few high-risk population get annual LDCT done. Patients' attitudes towards tobacco usage preventive care can be a factor getting LDCT. We analyzed relationship between willingness to undergo person's readiness try cessation medication or...

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infections are some of the most common community-acquired as well nosocomial with E. coli being pathogen. There is increased antimicrobial resistance among bacteria worldwide. One important mechanisms and virulence biofilm formation. This study was conducted to find out association between antibiotic pattern formation in non-catheterised patients UTI a tertiary care hospital. We further wanted determine ability form their produce extended-spectrum beta-lactamases...

Introduction: Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) causes respiratory tract infections in human beings ranging from mild illnesses like common cold to severe disease pneumonia. Currently, nucleic acid amplification tests Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), Cartridge Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (CBNAAT) and Truenat) rapid antigen detection are approved for diagnostic purpose by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). Interns, the primary contact health-care...

Introduction: Hybrid Problem-Based Learning (h-PBL) is a type of teaching-learning technique that incorporates both inperson learning and virtual via hybrid classroom tools. It reportedly increases student engagement, positively impact their process improve communication skills. During Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) times, its applicability was further enhanced as it allowed the flexibility teaching well from home to teachers students.
