Abstract

Objective: To analyze the functional outcome of cases with Pott’s disease treated solely by antitubercular drugs.Methods: This observational study was conducted at the Department of Orthopedics of a tertiary care medical college. Sixty patients with Pott’s disease were included in this study based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. All patients received antitubercular drugs for nine months. The Modified McCormick Scale (MSS) was used to assess the outcome of patients.Results: Out of 60 patients, 37 (61.67%) were females, and 23 (38.33%) were males, with an M: F ratio of 1:0.62. Most patients had some or the other risk factors and belonged to low socioeconomic status. The most common presenting complaint was low back pain, and the thoracolumbar spine was most commonly involved. There was a significant improvement in the patient’s functional status as assessed by the MSS score.Conclusion: If diagnosed early, patients with Pott’s disease can be treated solely by antitubercular treatment with excellent outcomes.

Abstract

Objective: To report a vestibular schwannoma in the cerebellopontine angle presenting with paradoxical hemiparesis with the Kernohan-Woltman Notch Phenomenon (KWNP).Methods: A 31-year-old female presented to the neurology clinic at Bhayangkara Hospital TK. I R. Said Sukanto, Indonesia, on 29 November 2021 with loss of balance, hearing, vision, and weakness in her left arm and leg. On physical examination, the patient had reduced left arm and leg muscle strengths against resistance (MRC grade 4), face deviation to the left, abnormal finger-to-nose test, dysdiadochokinesia, and inability to perform tandem gait. She was admitted for a brain MRI but did not return to the hospital for re-evaluation and surgery. Results: The brain MRI showed a mass on the left side of the cerebellum with a size of 4.44x3.93x4.93 cm, suggesting vestibular schwannoma. The mass also caused the obliteration of the ventricle, causing hydrocephalus.Conclusion:KWNP is an unusual finding resulting in a paradoxical hemiparesis, a false-localizing neurologic sign. Physicians should recognize KWNP in patients with hemiparesis, especially in space-occupying lesions. Imaging studies can help localize the lesion to minimize misdiagnosis and optimize patient treatment.

Abstract

Objectives: To explore the application of a model that integrates various factors that influence Dayak adolescents' intentions to consume alcohol in Sarawak, Malaysia.Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted from September 2019 to February 2022. Through multistage stratified cluster sampling, 12 districts were selected from 12 divisions. Respondents were selected randomly and were interviewed using a questionnaire.Results: Structural equation modeling was used to test the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and explore the relationship between various variables and respondents' intention to consume alcohol. The findings suggest that attitude (β=.22, p<.001), subjective norm (β = .33, p < .001), and perceived behavior control (β =−.41, p<.001) influenced the intention to consume alcohol. In contrast, alcohol consumption was associated with intention (β=.15, p < .001), attitude (β=.20, p<.001), and perceived behavior control (β=−.32, p<.001).Conclusion: The findings demonstrated that the TPB model can be used to explore various variables that influence the intention to consume alcohol among Dayak adolescents, with attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control as the variable influencing the intention. This highlights the need for paying attention to those variables when developing age-appropriate strategies that address various social levels to curb alcohol consumption. Given the concerning rates of risky drinking and dependency, school-based health initiatives and focused screening for Dayak adolescents are crucial.

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the risk factors for mortality and comorbidity of COVID-19 patients in a public health center work area in Indonesia.Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational analytic quantitative study using secondary data of 820 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Brebes Public Health Center work area during the period of June 2020–December 2021. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used to analyze the obtained data statistically with a p-value of <0.005 considered significant.Results: Of the 820 confirmed COVID-19 patients, 85.1% recovered and 15.0% died. Analysis on the characteristics of these cases showed that 51.2% females and 48.8 %  males were included in this study, with 77.6% of them were <60 years old. No history of comorbidities was identified in 92.1% of the cases. In remaining cases with comorbidities, Diabetes Mellitus was recognized as the most prevalent (n=39, 4.8%).  Results of the Chi-Square test demonstrated that comorbidity status (p-value = 0.001), place of quarantine (p p=0.000 p>0.05), and diabetes (p=0.000, OR=2.87,  95% CI 19 1.24-0280) were significantly associated with mortality.Conclusion: Comorbidity status, diabetes, and the place quarantine are risk factors for mortality among COVID-19 confirmed cases, especially in Brebes Public Health Center work area. Thus, it is important to increase knowledge about COVID-19 prevention and risks to prevent transmission among those with higher risks for mortality. Further studies on factors related to sustainable supports for COVID-19 patients are also necessary.

Abstract

Objectives: To compare the quality of intubating conditions and hemodynamic responses to the administration of Rocuronium Bromide and Succinyl Choline during general anesthesia.Methods: This was a comparative study conducted at the anesthesiology department of a tertiary care medical college. Sixty patients undergoing various surgeries under general anesthesia were included in this study based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided into Group S (receiving succinylcholine) and Group R (receiving rocuronium). In all patients, the quality of intubating conditions was assessed. Excellent or good conditions were considered to be acceptable intubating conditions, whereas fair and poor conditions were considered unacceptable.Results: Mean age, weight, gender distribution, and ASA grades were comparable in both groups. The overall quality of intubation was found to be better in group S than in group R, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.004). The duration of action was significantly longer in group R than in group S (P<0.001). Hemodynamic stability was comparable in both the groups, except for heart rate at 10 min, which was higher in Group R than in Group S. Incidence of fasciculation was significantly more in Group S as compared to Group R, and the difference was found to be highly significant (P=0.0001).Conclusion: Succinylcholine for rapid sequence intubation is associated with better intubation conditions than rocuronium.

Abstract

Objective: To determine the differences in coagulation features in patients with severe versus non-severe COVID-19. Method: During the period of the study from July 2020 to June 2021, 371 COVID-19 patients were treated at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital. These patients were divided into two groups based on the WHO critera into severe COVID-19 with clinical signs such as severe acute respiratory syndrome to respiratory failure and non-severe cases with no respiratory symptoms. Data analyzed were Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), International Normalized Ratio (INR), fibrinogen, D-dimer, and platelet count.Results: Median INR was significantly higher in patients with severe cases than in non-severe cases (1.04 vs. 0.94, p<0.001), which was also true for median PT (12.3 vs. 12.0 sec, p=0.030) and median fibrinogen (522 vs. 428.5 mg/dl, p=0.004). Similarly, the median D-dimer was significantly higher in severe patients (1.91 vs. 0.75 mg/dl, p<0.001). Median aPTT and platelet count were in normal limits for both severe and non-severe COVID-19 patients (28.6 vs. 29.15 sec, p>0.652 and 246 vs. 242 x103/mm3, p>0.924, respectively).Conclusions: The INR, PT, fibrinogen, and D-dimer can be considered as features that can be used to predict the severity of the disease and to choose the proper treatment for COVID-19 patients.

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the significance of platelet histograms and peripheral smears in understanding thrombocytopenia and compare them for the incidence of pseudothrombocytopenia.Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the Department of Pathology at a tertiary care medical institute. The study included 200 cases of thrombocytopenia. Platelet parameters (PCT, PDW, MPV) were obtained using an autoanalyzer, and peripheral smears were examined manually. Thrombocytopenia cases were classified into hyper-destructive, hypo-productive, and abnormal pooling categories based on etiology and platelet histogram patterns. The incidence of pseudothrombocytopenia was also compared. A P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The gender distribution showed a male preponderance (56% male, 44% female). The mean age of the patients was 26.8 years. The study found hyper-destructive thrombocytopenia to be the most common type, with viral fever, sepsis, and malaria being the common etiologies for this type of thrombocytopenia. Histogram analysis revealed distinct patterns for different types of thrombocytopenia. The study also noted a higher incidence of pseudothrombocytopenia in automated analysis compared to manual methods, with a statistically significant difference.Conclusion: Platelet histograms combined with peripheral smear analysis provide crucial information about the etiology and nature of thrombocytopenia. This integrated approach enhances diagnostic accuracy and aid in effective patient management.

Abstract

Objective:  To assess the cardioprotective effects of Carvedilol in preventing subclinical left ventricular dysfunction (SLVD) in breast cancer patients after completing FAC chemotherapy.Methods: This prospective study employed a quasi-experimental clinical trial conducted from September 2018 to May 2019. Breast cancer patients receiving FAC chemotherapy were divided into two groups: intervention (IG) and control (CG). The IG received Carvedilol 6.25 mg b.i.d., which was increased every three weeks until reaching a tolerated dose. The study evaluated changes in left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) and the incidence of SLVD (GLS reduction ≥15% and GLS >-18%) 24 weeks after initiating the FAC regimen.Result: Of the 81 women enrolled in the study, 31 were in the IG. No significant changes in GLS were observed during or after completing FAC chemotherapy in the IG, whereas the CG showed contradictory results. At the end of the follow-up period, the delta GLS reduction was lower in the IG (0.7; 95% CI -0.60, 3.60) compared to the CG (3.00; 95% CI -2.16, 4.19), with a p-value of 0.035. Similarly, the percentage reduction in GLS was 3.6% in the IG and 14.29% in the CG, resulting in a p-value of 0.05. The incidence rate of SLVD (GLS reduction ≥15% and GLS > -18%) was lower in the IG (41.9% and 25.8%) than in the CG (58% and 48%).Conclusion: Carvedilol may have a cardioprotective effect in preventing the incidence of SLVD, as evaluated by GLS reduction and changes, in women with breast cancer after completing a full cycle of the FAC regimen.

Abstract

Objectives: To study epidemiological characteristics, clinical features, laboratory findings, and clinical outcomes in cases of scrub typhus. Additionally, the study aims to identify the predictors of disease severity.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of General Medicine at Dr PDM Medical College in Amaravati, India. The study duration was 6 months, from July 2023 to December 2023. All clinically confirmed patients with scrub typhus were evaluated through history, clinical examination, and appropriate laboratory investigations. The clinical and laboratory profiles, hospital course, and outcomes were analyzed. Organ dysfunction upon admission was assessed using the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score.Results: A total of 200 cases were included in the study. The majority of the cases were in the age range of 31-40 years, and most of them were males. The highest number of scrub typhus cases occurred in September. The most common presenting symptoms were fever (81%), followed by nausea (37.5%), generalized weakness (34%), abdominal pain, eschar (21.5%), breathlessness, and cough (21% each), headache (19%), vomiting (15%), and altered sensorium (4.5%). The majority of patients (72.5%) did not experience any complications, while 55 patients (27.5%) developed multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) as a complication. The mortality rate was 1%.Conclusion: Scrub typhus is a significant cause of acute febrile illness in the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. It can present with various clinical manifestations, with or without an eschar. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of these cases can lead to minimal complications.

Abstract

Objective: To assess the pain relief and functional outcomes of patients who undergo surgical management of Achilles tendon rupture secondary to insertional Achilles tendinopathy and associated conditions using a midline dorsal approach.Methods: This prospective observational study included 30 patients diagnosed with Achilles tendon rupture secondary to insertional Achilles tendinopathy. This study recorded risk factors, predisposing factors, and co-morbidities for all cases. Pain relief and functional improvement were assessed by comparing Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) at the time of presentation and at the final follow-up. This study conducted statistical analysis using SPSS 21.0 software, with a significance level of p<0.05.Results: Of the participants, 17 (56.67%) were male and 13 (43.13%) were female, resulting in a male-to-female ratio of 1:0.76. The mean age of male and female patients was comparable (p=0.7515). The majority of patients (60%) were overweight, while 9 (30%) were obese, and 3 (10%) had a normal body mass index. This study observed a significant reduction in pain and functional improvement in the studied cases, as evidenced by a statistically significant reduction in VAS scores and improvements in AOFAS. Eight (26.66%) patients experienced minor complications that could be managed conservatively, but no major complications were observed.Conclusion: Modified surgical treatment of Achilles tendon rupture secondary to insertional Achilles tendinopathy using a midline dorsal approach leads to significant improvements in pain and functional outcomes, with an acceptable complication rate.
