Background: Sepsis is an important cause of mortality in the Intensive Care Units (ICUs) worldwide. Information regarding early predictive factors for and morbidity limited. Aims Objectives: The primary objective study was to estimate severe sepsis among adult patients admitted into medical ICU. secondary identify predictors associated with mortality. Materials Methods: Adult ICU were studied. outcome population. Baseline demographic, clinical, laboratory data recorded upon inclusion study....
Sister Joseph nodule is a metastatic umbilical lesion secondary to primary malignancy of any viscera. It can be presenting symptom (a sign undiagnosed malignancy) or progression recurrence in known case. Its incidence 1%-3% all intra-abdominal pelvic malignancies. Here, we present 4 such cases, with as finding ofpresentation case gallbladder carcinoma,progression malignant gastrointestinal stromal tumour,recurrence ovarian carcinoma, andpresentation rectal carcinoma.The clinicopathologic...
Abstract Lung agenesis is a rare congenital defect referring to the total absence of one or both lungs, including other associated structures such as bronchi, bronchioles, pulmonary vasculature, and respiratory parenchyma. A large percentage individuals often remain unaware condition unilateral due compensatory mechanism contralateral lung. We present case 32-year-old female who underwent preoperative evaluation for laminectomy procedure, chest X-ray revealed right-sided lobar agenesis.
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background:</bold> Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by non-caseating granulomas in multiple organs, predominantly the lungs. Corticosteroids are first-line treatment; however, steroid resistance remains significant challenge. This study aims to evaluate serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (sACE) levels as biomarker for predicting sarcoidosis patients. <bold>Methods:</bold> prospective was conducted at tertiary care center and included...
More and more apps are using deep learning models, which has raised worries about how vulnerable they to threats from other programs. As a result, academics have looked into adaptable noise input methods as way make these models resistant attacks like these. In this study, we look at all the latest adaptive that designed work better in hostile environments. By adding space, hidden layers, or gradients during model training, try lessen effect of changes. These manipulation without affecting...
To determine the diagnostic utility of adenosine deaminase (ADA) in exudative pleural effusions different etiologies.It was an observational study conducted at a tertiary care teaching institute.Of total 171 fluid samples, 122 were found to be exudates and included study. Pleural ADA done for all patients. ≥40 U/l taken as cut off TB effusion.Sensitivity, specificity positive negative predictive value diagnosing calculated by using clinical calculator - 1, Richard Lowry 2001-2013.There...
Pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 has posed a serious public health challenge world-wide. H1N1 critical illness mostly affects young patients and is often fatal.Primary objective was to study clinical profile of the admitted with confirmed swine flu infection. Secondary observe risk factors associated complications like need mechanical ventilation or death among infected patients.A prospective observational conducted in tertiary care teaching hospital from June 2009, December, 2011. infection...
Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation (CCAM) is an uncommon developmental deformity affecting the terminal respiratory structures. It characterized by broncho pulmonary foregut malformations. The reason behind it arrest in lung development between 4th and 7th week of fetal life.The present study was conducted to assess clinical radiological profile also role surgical intervention patients with CCAM.All suspicion or provisional diagnosis CCAM were included study. A questionnaire prepared...
Melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5) antibody-positive dermatomyositis (DM) displays unique cutaneous and pathologic features. We describe two cases of myositis-associated rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD). The patients were women from Kerala, India. Both had anti-MDA5 myositis. presented with RP-ILD without any clinical features myositis succumbed to their illness despite aggressive medical treatment. Anti-MDA5-antibody-positive DM is characterised by...
It was observed that post-COVID patients reported persistent exertional dyspnea, cough, fatigue, or chest pain. About 10%-20% of may progress to pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary rehabilitation has been proven be useful in improving effort tolerance and quality life chronic respiratory diseases.The objective this study assess the effectiveness 6-min walk distance (6 MWD), peak flow, anxiety, depression early postacute COVID disease.This quasi-experimental conducted during January 2021 March...
Key message Hydatid disease is a zoonotic parasitic infestation caused by tapeworms, particularly Echinococcus granulosus . The lung the second most site followed liver accounting for 10%–30% of cases. Rupture hydatid cyst can occur into pleura or bronchus. Surgery remains mainstay treatment pulmonary hydatid.
Gefitinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, represents a new treatment option for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We analyzed the data of who received Gefitinib NSCLC in tertiary care center South India.Sixty-three had either after failure conventional chemotherapy or were previously not treated as they unfit unwilling included analysis.The median follow-up cohort was 311 days (range 11-1544 days). Median time to progression 161 9-883)...
Article history: Objective: To determine the risk factors associated with mortality in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus- baumannii (Acb) complex blood stream infection. Methods: This was an observational study conducted tertiary care hospital of South India. All patients culture positive for Acb from January 2008 to December 2009 were included and a standardized abstraction form used abstract data. P value calculated by Chi square test. Univariate analysis done using 2x2 tables variables <0.1...
Background: Lymph node tuberculosis (TB) is the most common form of extrapulmonary TB in India. Standards for care India recommend microscopy/culture/CBNAAT/molecular test/histopathology examination and drug sensitivity testing on appropriate specimens from presumed sites involvement all patients with presumptive TB. Objectives: To analyze utility Xpert MTB/Rif assay lymph Methods: All who underwent sampling between July 2014 June 2017 whom was done were included. Demographic profile,...
Pleural effusion (PE) is presenting symptoms of many different diseases and often a diagnostic challenge. Negative cytology in the malignant PE requires more complicated procedures, such as closed pleural biopsy or thoracoscopic biopsy. Not all patients will be fit for invasive procedures due to high risk. Tumor markers seem promising alternative have been proposed aid differentiation etiology.The objective study was evaluate value fluid carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) between nonmalignant...
Endomterisois is usually found in women of child-bearing age. A case presented massive right-sided pleural effusion caused by endometriosis. The final diagnosis was made thoracoscopic biopsy. Physicians should be aware this potentially treatable cause having excluded other possibilities such as malignancy and tuberculosis.
A 42-year-old woman, presented to our emergency room with chief complaints of acute onset dyspnea, left-sided chest pain, and respiratory distress. On arrival, she had blood pressure 90/50 mm Hg, rate 40/min, oxygen saturation 95% breathing on 10 L oxygen. She was in significant examination, found have diminished breath sounds the left side chest. Her radiograph showed massive pleural effusion causing contralateral shift mediastinum. Diagnostic aspiration done; results were consistent...
Abstract An elderly man, with no comorbidity, presented rapidly accumulating left pleural effusion. He also had generalized adenopathy. Pleural fluid cytology showed exudative effusion eosinophilia. Supraclavicular lymph node biopsy was reported as amyloid. On further investigation he found to have kappa‐light chain multiple myeloma. The final diagnosis eosinophilic in a patient
