Despite heavily involved in numerous aspects of management, most HHAs have not received training. They also struggle to get touch supervising nurses or other members the care team when they clinical questions, which may result unnecessary visits emergency room. In addition, despite serving as a backbone system patients, HHAs, who are mostly women minorities,...

Background Although home care workers (HCWs) are increasingly caring for adults with heart failure (HF), many feel unprepared and lack HF training. To serve as the foundation a future educational intervention, we aimed to elicit HCWs' needs.Methods We partnered largest healthcare union in US recruit 41 HCWs employed by 17 agencies. Using nominal group technique, asked respond three questions: When an patient: (1) What information do you want? (2) symptoms worry you? (3) situations struggle...

Tuberculosis (TB) and sarcoidosis are multisystem, chronic granulomatous diseases. Although characterized by similar clinical manifestations, these disease entities vary significantly in etiologies management. Sarcoidosis is an immunological disorder of unknown etiology, the presence noncaseating granulomas tissues involved. TB infectious caused Mycobacterium tuberculosis , with caseous necrosis. It rare to have both diseases concomitantly. We present case a 38-year-old male microbiological...

Materials Methods: The conducted retrospectively among jawbone samples. Various morphometric assessments such as trabecular width, marrow space, their corelation were studied. In samples, variations osteon numbers, shapes osteocytes jawbones, amount inflammation bony areas recorded. Results: It noted this that mean values diameter Haversian canal...

Mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall (MHCW) is an extremely rare, benign lesion arising from one or more ribs. Typically, MHCW manifests as a unilateral lesion, yet there have been instances multiple bilateral occurrences documented. It reported to increased male predisposition and common presentation includes visible mass. In asymptomatic neonates, conservative management preferred approach since no reports malignant transformation. Surgical intervention becomes necessary in cases where...

A BSTRACT Objective: The purpose of this retrospective study was to look into patterns in the diagnosis and treatment oral mucosal disorders over a 12-year period tertiary care environment. Methods: comprehensive review medical records from Tertiary Care Center conducted, encompassing 2010–2022. Data on patient demographics, clinical presentations, diagnostic methods, modalities, outcomes were systematically analyzed. Descriptive statistics trend analyses employed discern changes time....

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has become a cornerstone in oral and maxillofacial radiology due to its high-resolution, three-dimensional imaging capabilities lower radiation exposure compared traditional (CT). The purpose of this retrospective study is examine long-term patterns the use CBCT tertiary care context, with an emphasis on patient characteristics, indications, variations over time.

Osteosarcoma is a bone tumor and can occur in any bone, usually the extremities of long bones, near metaphyseal growth plates. jaw bones represents distinct group lesions from conventional type commonly occurring bones. The emphasis should be laid on aggressiveness this lesion which warrants an early identification diagnosis followed by prompt treatment. True synchronous multicentric osteosarcomas jaws are extremely rare but, like other jaws, have favourable outcome, palliative resection...

Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) is crucial to the resuscitation of newborns. Although neonates often require PPV at birth, optimal interface has not been determined. Both binasal prongs and face masks were deemed acceptable by International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation in 2010 have utilized our center since 2016; however, choice provider preference. Previous studies suggested that may be more effective than avoiding intubation delivery room. The objective this study compare rates...

Abstract Background Microbiological diagnosis of pediatric tuberculosis (TB) using conventional microbiological techniques has been challenging due to paucibacillary nature the disease. Molecular methods cartridge-based tests like Xpert, have immensely improved diagnosis. A novel next-generation cartridge test, Xpert Ultra, incorporates two additional molecular targets and claims much lower detection limit. We attempted compare in presumptive TB patients. Objectives The aim this study was...

Intestinal tuberculosis (TB) is a diagnostic challenge and can closely mimic Crohn's disease (CD) colon cancer. These entities very resemble each other in symptomatology, imaging, appearance, pathology. We present case of colonic TB where the initial workup was suggestive CD. However, detection Mycobacterium biopsy specimens confirmed diagnosis.

Background: The etiological pattern of hemoptysis has evolved, with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) becoming less prevalent as a cause. There is paucity literature regarding the spectrum diseases that present and data related to detailed clinical profile are lacking. Hence, this study taken up determine its correlation radiological microbiological findings. Methods: This was 3-year observational prospective total 50 patients who presented active hemoptysis. Data were recorded from these for...

Tuberculosis (TB) is known to mimic several clinical conditions, especially malignancy. Pulmonary TB can present with pulmonary infiltration or without mediastinal lymphadenopathy. often gets misdiagnosed in the countries having a low incidence of high lung cancer and varying presentations, which results delay treatment initiation unnecessary diagnostic procedures. We case 52-year old female, presumptive diagnosis malignancy, was subsequently proved as tuberculosis no evidence malignancy instead.
