It is essential to analyze epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with in different parts our country. This study highlights experience managing at tertiary care centre northern India.Clinical outcomes consecutive adults admitted hospital Chandigarh, India, from April 1 May 25, 2020 were studied. diagnosis SARS-CoV-2 infection was confirmed by real-time reverse...
A prospective longitudinal study was planned to assess immunogenicity, safety, and breakthrough infection rates among health care workers (HCWs) after COVISHIELD™ vaccination in a teaching institute North India. total of 518 HCWs were enrolled at baseline for receiving first dose COVISHIELD™, 429 continued participation second dose, 415 followed up 28 days 405 6 months, 403 1 year from February 2021 November 2022. At each visit prior, 2 ml blood sample collected plasma separated....
Globally, stroke is one of the leading causes death and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). The red cell distribution width (RDW) a readily available inexpensive test which done routinely as part complete blood count in these patients.In this study, we tried to correlate RDW with severity acute ischemic (AIS).Patients presenting emergency department (ED) within 24 hours onset clinical signs symptoms suggestive AIS were assessed for Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) National Institutes Health...

Abstract The efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for the prevention COVID-19 was contentious. In this randomized control double-blind clinical trial, asymptomatic individuals with direct contact laboratory-confirmed cases were into PEP/HCQ (N = 574) and control/placebo 594) group. group received tablet HCQ 400 mg q 12 hourly on day one followed by once weekly 3 weeks, control/Placebo matching Placebo. incidence similar (p 0.761) in PEP [N 24 out 574,...
Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with hematological malignancies. In recent years, testing for values galactomannan (GM) serum bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid has been investigated as diagnostic test IPA such patients, but global experience consensus on optical density (OD) cutoffs, especially BAL remains lacking.
Abstract Background: Liver function derangements have been reported in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) but rates are variable. Methods: We searched Pubmed and Embase with terms COVID SARS-COV-2 from December 1, 2019 till April 5, 2020. estimated overall prevalence, stratified prevalence based on severity, risk ratio (RR) standardized mean difference (SMD) of liver parameters severe as compared to nonsevere COVID. Random effect method utilizing inverse variance approach was used for pooling...
To determine the utility, diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value of laboratory based Covid-19 antigen detection test (Coris Bio- Concept, Gembloux, Belgium) for diagnosis SARS-CoV-2 in a tertiary care hospital among symptomatic asymptomatic patients.The nasopharyngeal swab samples were collected from patients their contacts. The accuracy this kit was determined comparison to real-time reverse transcriptase (RT-PCR).A total 825 fulfilling inclusion...
