We investigated the clinical performance of a quantitative multi-modal SPECT/CT reconstruction platform for yielding radioactivity concentrations bone imaging with 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) or 99mTc-dicarboxypropane (DPD). The novel incorporates CT-derived tissue information while preserving delineation boundaries. assessed image-based reader concordance and confidence, determined lesion classification SUV thresholds from ROC analysis. Seventy-two cancer patients were scanned at...
Abstract Objective: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has posed formidable challenges, including overwhelming biomedical waste management. Guidelines have been rapidly changing along with the mounting pressure of generation. Methods: These challenges were managed by smart re-engineering structure and processes for desired outcomes. Dedicated staff, in personal protective equipment appropriate training, deployed to collect using dedicated trolleys. A route plan was drawn a elevator meant...
Abstract Background Informational discontinuity can have far reaching consequences like medical errors, increased re-hospitalization rates and adverse events among others. Thus the holy grail of seamless informational continuity in healthcare has been an enigma with some nations going digital way. Digitization India is fast catching up. The current study explores components continuity, its impact on clinical decision-making captures general perception doctors towards a solution. Methods...
Background: A lively, dynamic and interactive feedback system that can connect all the stakeholders engage them in a sustainable loop of seamless information flow is quintessential for any organization with significant public interface. It important to balance asymmetry patient doctor relationship empower patients. 
 Methodology: In this regard, process mapping existing was done. Ethnographic methods were used triangulation data validity. Three key bottlenecks identified; collect...
Dementias produce deficits in perfusion, part, reflecting decreased metabolic needs. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) studies have reported characteristic anterior-to-posterior perfusion gradients that permit distinction between the various forms of dementia.We undertook this study to evaluate role visual analysis SPECT patterns for differential diagnosis types degenerative dementia.Tc-99m ethylcysteinate dimer (ECD) was used with a dual-head scanner generate images brain...
This study presents the development and validation of a reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method for determination mangiferin (MGN) in alcoholic extracts mangifera indica. A Lichrospher 100 C18-ODS (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm size) (Merck, Whitehouse Station, NJ) prepacked column mobile phase potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (0.01M) pH 2.7 ± 0.2-acetonitrile (15:85, v/v) with flow rate 1 mL/minwas used. MGN detection was achieved at wavelength monitored 254 nm SPD-M 10A vp PDA detector or SPD...
Indian healthcare is rapidly growing and needs efficiency more than ever, which can be achieved by leveraging analytics. National Digital Health Mission has set the stage for digital health getting right direction from very beginning important. The current study was, therefore, undertaken to find what it takes an apex tertiary care teaching hospital leverage analytics.To existing Hospital Information System (HIS) at AIIMS, New Delhi assess preparedness analytics.A three-pronged approach was...
Recent disruption of medical oxygen during the second wave coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused nationwide panic. This study attempts to objectively analyze supply chain in India along principles value stream mapping (VSM), identify bottlenecks, and recommend systemic improvements.Process was done. Different licenses approvals, their conditions, compliances, renewals, among others were factored in. All relevant circulars (Government Notices), official orders, amendments, gazette...
One of the challenges has been coping with an increasing need for COVID-19 testing. A screening and testing facility was created. There a throughput within existing space limited resources. Discrete event simulation used to address this challenge.A cross-sectional interventional study done from September 2020 October 2020. Detailed process mapping all micro-processes done. Patient arrival patterns time taken at each step were measured by two independent observers random intervals over weeks....

INTRODUCTION Difficult intubation is a patient related problem that anesthesiologists need to address in their practice. Although various visual aids are now available for facilitating insertion of endotracheal tube (ETT), human errors do occur. A few unwritten guidelines about the process using fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) exist, but none standardized. At times, it may not be possible follow reasons beyond control anesthesiologists. The authors report here case failed attempted FOB aid....
