Mucormycosis (MM) is a deadly opportunistic fungal infection and large surge in COVID-19-associated mucormycosis (CAM) occurring India.
Acute febrile illnesses (AFIs) with thrombocytopenia, such as dengue, leptospirosis, and scrub typhus, are often associated bleeding present challenges in transfusion therapy during outbreaks. Conventional predictors, which involve platelet counts, do not assess clot strength or fibrinolysis defects may lead to inappropriate delayed transfusions. To predict bleeding, we aimed create a scoring system using point-of-care thromboelastography (TEG) other conventional coagulation parameters. In...
Abstract Background Injuries due to falling coconuts are a common yet underreported form of trauma in the tropical regions. Although these might appear insignificant at first glance, physical forces involved potentially fatal. Despite their global prevalence, research on this subject remains scarce, making it neglected public health concern. This study seeks bridge gaps by analysing affected demographics, contributing factors and injury patterns. By enhancing understanding coconut...
Spotted fever should be suspected in acutely febrile patients with a history of travel to South Asia neurological symptoms, myocarditis, leucocytosis and thrombocytopenia. Petechial rash on palms soles, even the absence eschar, can helpful clue diagnosing.
In view of anecdotal reports sudden unexplained deaths in India's apparently healthy young adults, linking to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection or vaccination, we determined the factors associated with such individuals aged 18-45 years through a multicentric matched case-control study. This study was conducted participation 47 tertiary care hospitals across India. Cases were without any known co-morbidity, who suddenly (<24 h hospitalization seen 24 before death) died causes...
ABSTRACT We describe a 3‐year‐old male patient with the ichthyosis follicularis, alopecia and photophobia (IFAP) syndrome, who developed cutaneous ocular involvement in infancy. In addition, he had growth retardation borderline intelligence; no other systemic was found on detailed investigation. A moderate response to acitretin therapy (1 mg/kg) administered for 6 months observed, improvement features corneal erosions change or photophobia.
Abstract Background Septic melioidosis is associated with high mortality in resource-limited settings. The current study aims to find 28-d all-cause predictors within 24 h of admission patients presenting an emergency department. Methods This retrospective cohort (2018–2022) included divided into two groups based on their primary outcomes (28-d mortality). All the clinically relevant factors significant univariate analysis were selected for binary logistic regression analysis. Those...
CPR is an important lifesaving skill that can improve outcomes of patients in cardiac arrest. Mass training hands-only one the ways to spread information and teach this skill. Need for expensive mannequins are a limiting factor conducting such mass programmes. This study assessed effectiveness low-cost pillow model CPR.Two hundred six undergraduate students underwent two-hour session. They were randomly divided into two groups - mannequin group practiced on standard model, respectively....
Leptospirosis is a rodent-borne acute febrile illness, classically seen after heavy rainfall and floods. This study aimed to describe the clinical profile, management strategies outcome of patients with leptospirosis amidst Coronavirus disease-2019 outbreak. A prospective adult undifferentiated fever (5-15 days) was conducted in South India between October 2020 February 2021. The demographic, details, laboratory treatment positive (based on serology) negative were compared. chisquare test...
Background India does not have a formal cardiac arrest registry or centralized emergency medical system. In this study, we aimed to assess the prehospital care received by patients with OHCA and predict factors that could influence their outcome. Methods Out-of-hospital presenting department in tertiary centre were included study. Prehospital was assessed terms of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), mode transport, ambulance. outcomes like Return spontaneous circulation (ROSC),...
In uncontrolled diabetics from South Asia, it is commonplace to diagnose pulmonary mucormycosis in the presence of a reversed halo sign (RHS) on imaging. However, travel medicine practitioners should be aware that RHS Asians with similar risk factors can also seen melioidosis.
The aim of our study was to explore the effect nomination-based social-media campaign and CPR-skill-booth on change in knowledge as well hands-only CPR skills among young adults.
Ergogenics have revolutionized the field of sports and therapeutics.These mainly include mechanical, nutritional, physiological, psychological pharmacological ergogenic methods.Nutritionally, aids are utilized in an attempt to conserve energy during work performance sports/cachectic conditions, either by providing additional source, such as with glucose supplementation, or favorably affecting metabolic processes that generate energy.Pharmacological substances (e.g.anabolic steroids,...
Introduction: Establishment of strong emergency medical services (EMS) systems plays a pivotal role in reducing morbidity and mortality, especially low middle-income countries. We aimed to study the EMS utilization resources available ambulances deliver prehospital care among patients presenting Emergency Medicine Department tertiary hospital south India. Methods: Data regarding transport practices such as mode arrival, EMS, ambulance, complaints, triage category, demographic details were...
The terminology "Financially Palliative" is a pseudonym and refers to unique challenge faced in countries where public healthcare insurance coverage not robust the percentage of out-of-pocket health expenditure continues be high. Emergency critical care expenditures such circumstances usually pose additional burden as they are unforeseen expenses, disproportionately high, for which most people unprepared. Such situations may lead into vicious cycle that initiates with hesitancy delay...
Acute febrile illnesses (AFI) such as dengue, leptospirosis, and scrub typhus start with fever, but some patients can deteriorate rapidly. Identifying these at risk is necessary to ensure early referral. The study’s objective was assess the utility of serum adrenomedullin (ADM) a biomarker in predicting outcomes adult AFI presenting emergency department (ED). In this prospective observational study, all consecutive admitted through ED between June 2023 February 2024 were assessed for...
Kyasanur forest disease (KFD) is an endemic flaviviral hemorrhagic fever in south India. We report seven cases of oral candidiasis patients from Karnataka, India, who presented March and April 2024 with the first phase KFD. Except for lymphopenia, no other risk factors were identified these patients. All managed antifungals did well at 28-day follow-up. this case series to highlight possibility transient immunosuppression occurrence opportunistic infections such as
Emergency care is largely seen as synonymous with resuscitation and saving lives. In most of the developing world where Medicine (EM) still evolving, concept EM palliative alien. Provision in such settings poses its own challenges terms knowledge gaps, socio-cultural barriers, dismal doctor-to-patient ratio limited time for communication patients, lack established pathways to provide care. Integrating medicine crucial expanding dimension holistic, value-based, quality emergency However,...
COVID 19 resurgence in multiple waves and the highly infectious variant of SARS-CoV-2 (B.1.617) has wreaked havoc across healthcare systems India. We conducted a study to delineate clinico-epidemiological profile COVID-19 patients this second wave pandemic.This was retrospective, single centre, observational at Emergency Department(ED) teaching institute North The ED health records were screened for patient files with diagnosis -19, age > 14 years, presenting from 10th April 30th May....
