Abstract

Inadvertent subclavian artery canulation although rare is a life threatening complication of central venouscanulation. Its prompt recognition and management by stent placement, thrombin injection, Angio seal orgel foam embolization is essential to minimize fatal complications. We describe a case report of subclavianarterial canulation which was recognized and managed percutaneously by covered stent placement withoutcomplications.

Abstract

Background : Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is a widespread problem in developing countries. Recentstudies have shown association of Vitamin D deficiency with atherosclerosis and Coronary artery disease.This study was conducted to assess the relationship between Vitamin D and the severity of coronary arterydisease (CAD) in patients undergoing coronary angiography.Materials and methods: Consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography for acute coronarysyndrome or effort angina were included in a descriptive cross-sectional study and their Vitamin D levelwas measured. CAD was defined as at least one vessel stenosis >50% on coronary angiography. Vitamin Dlevels were correlated to the CAG findings as to the severity and number of vessels involved and also to thetraditional CAD risk factorsResults: Vitamin D Deficiency was noted in 70.72% of the population in the study. Patients were classifiedas normal Vitamin D level(> 30ng/ml), Vitamin D insufficiency (20-30ng/ml) and Vitamin D Deficiency(<20ng/ml). Vitamin D levels had inversely correlated with significant coronary artery disease both fornumber of vessels involved and severity (p<0.001) and dyslipidemia(p=0.009). No significant associationwas found between VDD and other risk factors such as age, sex , hypertension, diabetes mellitus andsmoking.Conclusion : Vitamin D deficiency was noted in majority of the patients undergoing CAG and was foundto be significantly associated with the prevalence and severity of CAD. However studies involving largerpopulation are needed to evaluate whether supplementation with vitamin D may help in prevention ofatherosclerosis and further development of CAD.

Abstract

Introduction: Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) have presently been greatly contributing to the hospitaladmissions, prolongation of the hospital stays, visits to the emergency departments, in turn, contributingto the economic burden of healthcare management. Pharmacovigilance is predominantly concerned withADRs, and drug safety. The basic understanding about pharmacovigilance is essential for future medicalprofessionals as they will come in contact with the patients and can efficiently report the ADRs.Aim: To evaluate the basic understanding about pharmacovigilance and create awareness in medical studentsof a rural teaching hospital.Materials & Methods: This was a non-interventional questionnaire-based study, where medical studentsfrom a rural teaching hospital were included in the study. They were distributed a simple questionnairerelated to pharmacovigilance basic knowledge, through google form link, which they had submitted. Thedata was analysed.Results: Total 92 participants were included in the study. It was found that, 57.8% of these were female and42.2% were males. Moreover, regarding assessing the basic pharmacovigilance knowledge it was reportedthat 98.9% were aware about healthcare professionals who can report ADR. Nearly 83.5% were aware aboutpharmacovigilance. Nearly 70% of the participants had not heard about pharmacovigilance before joiningpharmacology lectures. Majority of the participants had never attended any seminar/workshops and agreedto attend in future.Conclusion: The results indicate that the basic understanding about pharmacovigilance is improving andmedical student shows interest about creating awareness related to pharmacovigilance, as it is an importantaspect of drug safety. However, to further improve their understanding awareness programs for medicalstudent can be conducted.

Abstract

Background: Upper cross syndrome has become prevalent in today’s population. This syndrome refers totightness of muscles such as pectoralis major, upper trapezius and levator scapulae and weakness of deepneck flexors, scalene, rombhoids, serratus anterior, middle and lower trapezius. Poor posture is associatedwith imbalance created in musculoskeletal system and common condition to be reported as upper crosssyndrome. It is commonly seen in people with forward head posture, desk job workers, dentist, beauticiansetc. The resulting clinical presentation is complaint of pain in neck and shoulder, cervicogenic headache,hunched upper-back and rounded shoulder.

Materials and methods: Asymptomatic individualwith 20-40 years of age group will be explained about the procedure before commencement of the study.Posture will be screened using Kinect Azure and REEDCO Posture Assessment Scale will be used forevaluation. Assessment of muscle tightness and weakness will be evaluated using muscle length tests andmanual muscle testing.Results: The expected results would include details about prevalence of UCS in asymptomatic individual.The parameters of outcome measures will be analyzed using the statistical test namely students paired T-test.Conclusion: Based on previous data we assume it is essential to screen asymptomatic individual to looks forsigns of Upper Cross Syndrome for early detection, prevention and treatment.
