The protective efficacy of helmets may be misconstrued due to shortcomings in crash data collection systems. This paper aims decipher the reasons behind “helmet protection paradox,” using Bengaluru, India, as a case study. Official reports indicated that three-fourths fatal two-wheeler crashes Bengaluru city involved riders who were wearing helmets, leading paradoxical interpretation helmets. Understanding helmet use patterns source population and systems is key resolving this paradox. Our...
Background: Early repolarization (ER) is associated with increased mortality in the general population. We sought to develop and validate a prognostic index (PI) of patients ER. Methods: identified 852 consecutive (mean age 49 ± 12 years) ER (J‐point elevation ≥0.1 mV inferior or lateral leads), from VA electronic electrocardiogram (ECG) database. A random sample age‐matched normal ECG was used as control (n = 257). The initial cohort randomly split into derivation validation (2/3 1/3...
Sertraline is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, which commonly used drug for major depressive disorder. Most frequently reported adverse effects of sertraline in patients receiving 50–150 mg/d are dry mouth, headache, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, sweating, and dizziness. We hereby report one the few cases sertraline-induced ventricular tachycardia, has been first time objectively assessed by Naranjo scale. therefore urge primary care physicians cardiologists to keep as possible...
We hereby report a short case of 71-year-old gentleman who developed ST segment elevation myocardial infarction shortly after starting the infusion liposomal amphotericin B for disseminated histoplasmosis. also discuss novel pathogenesis specific component that contributed to acute cardiopulmonary compromise in our patient leading subsequent infarction.
Motorized two-wheeler users account for 45% of road fatalities in 2021 India. Correct helmet use decreases the risk fatalities, but information about prevalence correct is limited Indian context. This study aims to assess and factors associated with among motorized Bengaluru city, observational cross-sectional assessment was conducted a random-representative sample 98021 two-wheelers sampled from 15 intersections. Helmet other were collected by trained Field Data Collectors via hand-held...
<h3>Background</h3> Injuries and violence are among the top five causes of death disabilities adolescents. Such negative experiences affect adolescent's sociocognitive development, sense security, self-worth, relation with peers. This can later act as a catalyst for perpetration or unintended consequences such self-harm suicide. While parents/caretakers, teachers, community leaders must be aware adolescents' issues capabilities, it still presents conundrum to balance interacting physical...
<h3>Background</h3> Road traffic injuries are a significant public health challenge, particularly in an emerging economy like India. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns provided unique opportunity to study changes behaviors, especially overspeeding, leading factor crashes fatalities. <h3>Objective</h3> This uses interrupted time series analysis investigate impact lockdown on vehicle speed Mumbai City, <h3>Methods</h3> Since 2015, Johns Hopkins International Injury...
<h3>Background</h3> As part of the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS), Johns Hopkins International Injury Research Unit (JH-IIRU) is working to strengthen road safety ecosystem and promote data-driven policies in 30 cities across 15 countries. JH-IIRU committed building capacity communication, policy advocacy, evidence uptake, media engagement enhance evidence-based programs systems. <h3>Objective</h3> has launched a breakthrough program cross-national...
<h3>Background</h3> Over speeding is the primary cause of road traffic fatalities in India as it affects possibility and severity crash. Approximately 72.2% (40,450) deaths occurred due to over 2022. <h3>Objective</h3> To estimate overall specific prevalence Bengaluru Metropolitan Region (BMR). describe average vehicular speed based on type vehicle, time day, road, vehicle ownership type, weekend/weekday by survey location <h3>Methodology</h3> A population-based cross-sectional assessment...
This study explores the influence of demographic factors-age, gender, and education level-on consumer preferences behaviors in online shopping. Through a quantitative analysis using ANOVA, data from 119 participants highlight that age level significantly impact perceptions platform selection, product security, importance reviews, while gender differences are less pronounced. Key findings indicate younger consumers value convenience variety, higher-educated users prioritize security trust...
INTRODUCTION: The abdominal subtype of actinomycosis is extremely rare; however, when present can mimic intraabdominal malignancies. We an 88-year-old woman who presented with pain. Computed Tomography (CT) imaging showed multiple intra-abdominal soft tissue masses in the greater omentum, anterior wall, and small bowel mesentery suspicious for malignancy. She underwent CT guided biopsy filamentous gram-positive bacteria concerning actinomycetes but no malignant process. CASE...
The objective of this study was to estimate the width, height, and depth femoral vein (FV) internal jugular (IJV), both sites potential central line placement in children, using point-of-care ultrasound.This a prospective observational study. Point-of-care ultrasound used measure right FV IJV 100 children. primary outcome comparison widths same child. Our hypothesis that would be wider than FV. Secondary measures included heights depths description vessel overlap frequency between 2 sites.A...
Introduction: Clostridium difficile (C.diff) infection is the most common nosocomial cause of infective diarrhea. Presentation ranges from being an asymptomatic carrier to severe form warranting urgent surgery Case Description/Methods: A 42-year-old male presented with diarrhea for 3 days and altered mental status. Medical history was significant chronic gastrointestinal dysmotility on erythromycin sigmoid pseudo-obstruction 2 years ago, status post-resection. The pseudoobstruction led a...
Purpose: Intraoperative defibrillation threshold testing (DFT) has been an integral part of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implantation and used in all major ICD trials. However, there are still many uncertainty about its benefit on clinical outcomes.
