Description
Tumor burden at time of Post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder(PTLD) post solid organ transplant(SOT) is an adverse prognostic factor. PET scan in PTLD has high sensitivity and specificity to detect nodal and extranodal disease in PTLD. We did a retrospective analysis of PTLD patients post SOT presenting to single center to see if quantitative EBV PCR correlated with metabolic tumor volume(MTV) calculated by PET scan. We found a positive...

Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare but potentially serious postpartum complication that may mimic a surgical abdomen. It is an uncommon finding occurring in 0.05% to 0.18% of pregnancies. In this report, we present the case of a 22-year-old primigravid patient who developed OVT after an emergency caesarean section.

Background and Goal of Study: We hypothesized that thoracic continuous paravertebral block with ropivacaine and clonidine, as adjuvant, could improve acute postoperative pain management compared to local anaesthetic alone, during first 24h post-procedure in radical mastectomy patients. Materials and Methods: 74 ASA I-III women, candidates to elective radical mastectomy under general anaesthesia, participated in this prospective randomized double-blind...

Cerebral air embolism (CAE) is an uncommon entity associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Often underdiagnosed, is a well-documented complication of several medical invasive procedures. Although rare, air embolism can result from any endoscopic practice. We describe a case of CAE following a colonoscopy.

The association of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TSC) and acute stroke has been recognised many times in case reports across the globe. The shock of the acute stroke has been seen as a significant enough trauma to stun the heart the way TSC does. We present a case with a twist. We have a 55 year old lady with only smoking and hypertension in her past medical history that had TSC that predates the stroke and we feel is the cause. Our patient was admitted...

Introduction: The CHA2DS2-VASc score has been validated in different atrial fibrillation (AF) patient populations, but not in patients who have had intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). This study aims to validate the CHA2DS2-VASc risk prediction system in patients with ICH. Methods: We included data from a prospective observational multicentre study of patients with imaging confirmed ICH and documented AF. CHA2DS2-VASc scores were generated for each patient....

The Arcuate Fasciculus (AF) is a white matter tract connecting the posterior temporal region (Wernicke’s area) involved in the comprehension of language with the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG; Broca’s region), involved in the production of language. Lesions of the AF cause impairment in repetition of heard speech, phonological paraphasias, and deficits in speech monitoring and learning

Background and aims:The objectives were to characterize the pharmacokinetics and the safety and after a single dose administration efficacy of tapentadol solution for injection (IV). Methods:Patients below 2 years of age including preterm neonates with post-surgical pain requiring opioid treatment were enrolled. The tapentadol-IV doses were determined using physiologically based pharmacokinetic modelling (PBPK) incorporating data from adults and older...

The widespread application of catheter-based interventions, and chronic treatment have contributed to improved long-term prognosis in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Despite these indisputable achievements, a large number of individuals remain at substantial risk of severe first attack, recurrent disease and death. Patients with unstable angina were classified into three groups according to short-term risk of death...

Variable versus conventional lung protective mechanical ventilation during open abdominal surgery (PROVAR) u2013 A randomized controlled trialRelevance of research: Postoperative pulmonary complications substantially contribute to perioperative morbidity and mortality. Current evidence suggests that conventional lung protective ventilation (CNV) improves postoperative lung function and outcome. According to experimental studies, variable lung protective...

Anemia is a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with disease progression and increased mortality. This anemia is mainly due to inadequate production of erythropoietin (EPO) by the failing kidneys, resulting from the reduction in renal EPO‐producing cells (REPC) or from dysregulation of the hypoxia‐inducible factor (HIF) system that regulates several genes related to hypoxia, angiogenesis, fibrosis and glucose metabolism,...

Background: Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) has 4-10 plasmids per bacterium that contain virulence-factors for survival. CT can increase plasmid numbers when stressed, as occurs in clinical trachoma samples. No studies have investigated plasmid copy numbers in clinical samples. Most diagnostic CT assays target the plasmid to increase their sensitivity, but some have other targets. We investigated plasmid copy numbers in urogenital CT samples to assess...

Filaggrin processing is a major biological event in the production of the free amino acid component of Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) in skin hydration. Skin aspartic acid protease (SASPase) is one of the key enzymes involved in the early processing of filaggrin during epidermal terminal differentiation. Functional mutations in the SASPase gene have resulted in an impaired stratum corneum barrier function and the onset of dry skin condition...

Treatment Modalities in Thyroid Dysfunction
Thyroid dysfunction can represent a wide spectrum of disease and the consequences of
under treatment are evident with the two extremes of thyroid storm and myxoedema coma.
Treatment options of both hypo- and hyperthyroidism are generally well established but are
not perfect and there remain several unanswered questions regarding both forms of
management, such as the optimal range of TSH with thyroxine replacement,...

Background and Goal of Study: In the conduct of general anesthesia cardiodepressant effects of anesthetics often have a critical effect on this contingent. We have considerable experience in conducting xenon anesthesia in ophthalmic operations. The aim of the study was to compare the course of anesthesia in patients older than 50 years with concomitant pathology under conditions of general anesthesia.Materials and Methods: There was carried out a...

BACKGROUND AND AIMSLaparoscopic TEP repair surgeries are less painful, but the port access, tissue dissection and gas insufflation lead to pain. Bilateral TAP block in such cases may be beneficial. Our aim is to determine the efficacy of TAP block with levobupivacaine in these cases. METHODSAfter obtaining Institute Ethics Committee approval and consent, 60 patients of ASA I-II aged between 18 to 80 years planned for laparoscopic total extraperitoneal...

Oxygen consumption is a measure of physical fitness which, in turn, is known to be an independent determinant of insulin sensitivity.
So far the association of oxygen consumption with insulin resistance has not yet been adequately explored.
