This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness, utility, and economic analysis of a three-drug treatment vs a two-drug treatment in COPD patients. Materials and methods: An observation was conducted at a superspecialty hospital in Hyderabad. Out of the 115 patients recruited from the inpatient and outpatient wards of the Pulmonology Department, 55 patients received triple therapy containing ICS, long-acting β-agonists (LABA), and long-acting muscarinic antagonists (LAMA), whereas 60 patients were treated with dual therapy comprising ICS/LABA. Cost-effectiveness was assessed based on forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (FEV1% predicted), St George's respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) scores, SGRQ responder ratio, COPD assessment test (CAT) scores, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). Results: Results signified the enhanced potency of three-drug treatment vs two-drug treatment as proven by the improvement in average difference from initial values in (1) FEV1% predicted value of 4.36 [95% confidence interval (CI) (2.9–5.82)], (2) SGRQ scores of −6.76 [95% CI (−2.14 to −11.38)], SGRQ responder ratio of 13.25 (3.72–47.24), CAT scores of −5.15 [95% CI (−9.87 to −0.43)] and ICER of 3522 [95% CI (14682 to −7638)]. Conclusion: Triple therapy comprising LABA, LAMA, and ICS can optimize lung function and improve clinical outcomes, leading to overall enhancement of well-being compared to LABA/ICS dual therapy in moderate to severe COPD patients. Clinical significance: Three-drug treatment comprising ICS/LABA/LAMA is an effective and cost-effective therapeutic approach for managing moderate and severe COPD compared to ICS/LABA dual therapy. This is evidenced by improvements in spirometry values (FEV1% predicted) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).},

Observation and Results: It was found that the yield of Tru cut was significantly more in ZN staining and histopathology. Even though the yield was more in culture and CBNAAT also, it was not statistically significant. FNA is a popular method which is very widely used, but it has a low yield. From the results, it was inferred that for FNA, the positive rate was 27.6%, 38.4%, 67.7%, and 43% for the four modalities of ZN staining, CBNAAT, cytology, and acid-fast bacilli cultures, respectively. Comparatively, for Tru-cut biopsy, the positive rate was 36.9%, 46.2%, 92.3%, and 47.7%, respectively, in all four modalities. It was noticed that the highest value was recorded for histopathology, followed by culture and CBNAAT for Tru-cut biopsy procedures. Comparatively, FNA showed the highest negative rate for ZN staining and CBNAAT.
Conclusion: The present study also highlights the importance of Tru-cut biopsy over FNA. It is one of the emerging techniques which if used properly could offer a better yield. Further results and conclusions are discussed in the paper.},

Conclusions: Acute hydrocarbon poisoning is a preventable cause of mortality and morbidity in children. The majority of cases occur in the toddler age group and are accidental. Most patients improve with simple conservative measures. Following unit protocols for the management avoids unnecessary investigations, and medications and promotes early discharge.
A prospective observational study was conducted over 18 months from January 2022 to June 2023 in a private medical college from South India for children between 1 month and 18 years of age admitted with a history of acute hydrocarbon poisoning. Results: Out of 1568 admissions, 29 children had acute hydrocarbon poisoning. Median age was 2.6 years (range: 6 months-15year). The majority (58.6%) belonged to toddler age group. The male-to-female ratio was 1.6:1. Most (48.3%) cases were seen during summer. All poisonings were accidental and occurred via the ingestion route. Paint thinner (75.9%) and mosquito repellent (20.7%) were the most common agents implicated. Vomiting (69%), cough (24.1%), and respiratory distress (20.7%) were the predominant symptoms noted. Chest radiograph was abnormal in 10% of patients. Respiratory support was provided in 44% of patients. 70% of patients were discharged within 24 hours. There was no mortality.

abstract = {Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are influenced by various established risk factors, including the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes and platelets, which has been shown to be an independent risk factor for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study aims to create a new scoring system called TANGENTS that utilizes discrete parameters of risk factors and diagnostic parameters to analyze the outcome of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with comorbidities, particularly Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: We included 151 subjects (mean age 57.92 ± 23.86) who presented with ST-elevation and ST-depression on admission and were treated with heparin, clopidogrel, aspirin, and atorvastatin while undergoing all the necessary diagnostic tests. We obtained ECG and complete blood picture (CBP) results on admission, day 3, and day of discharge.
Results: ST-depression on ECG on day-1 was 0.35 and decreased to 0.30 on the day of discharge. ST-elevation on ECG on day-1 was -0.89 and decreased to -0.16 on the day of discharge. The average neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NPR) was 0.49, which was high in 144 patients. The mean NLR value was 5.52, indicating a correlation between high NLR values and the magnitude of current injury on admission.
Conclusion: The TANGENTS scoring system can be used as an early evaluation tool for CAD patients with comorbidities to manage and prevent further complications. It allows for progressive differentiation in the severity of clinical outcomes using all the parameters of the score, and the parameters creating the TANGENTS score scale were found to be reliable.},

abstract = {Introduction: Excessive smartphone usage among adolescents and young adults has been consistently linked to poor sleep. Moreover, smartphone overuse has been associated with daytime tiredness, longer sleeps latency, and reduced sleep duration. The significance of addressing poor sleep among adolescents and young adults is underscored by recent research linking it to adverse physical and psychological health outcomes, such as mood disturbances, impaired cognitive function, and increased risk incidence of hypertension and diabetes.
Aim: To evaluate the effects of smartphone usage on sleep quality among individuals using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and hypnogram data.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, sleep patterns were assessed using the PSQI questionnaire and Prime Nap sleep tracker app (version 1.1.4). The study was conducted by Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The data was collected in the form of a hypnogram and the study was conducted in the participants’ homes (under domicile conditions) in the city of Hyderabad, Telangana, India from March 2020 to April 2020. A total of 60 participants (both male and female) in the age group of 15-25 years were recruited and divided into two groups: one comprising 30 individuals with regular prolonged exposure to smartphone screens at night, and the other consisting of 30 individuals who experienced minimal or no smartphone exposure once they prepared to sleep. Descriptive statistics were applied to the collected data using Microsoft Excel and IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows version 25.0.
Results: Adding up the average scores of the seven factors gives a global PSQI score from 0 to 21, with 0-4 indicating good sleep and 5-21 indicating poor sleep. Among those who used smartphones regularly at night time, 20 participants (66.67%) had PSQI score >5 and poor sleep quality, 24 participants (80%) had prolonged sleep latency, 18 participants (60%) had poor sleep duration, 27 participants (90%) had sleep disturbances, and 22 participants (73.33%) had increased daytime dysfunction.

Introduction: Excessive smartphone usage among adolescents and young adults has been consistently linked to poor sleep. Moreover, smartphone overuse has been associated with daytime tiredness, longer sleeps latency, and reduced sleep duration. The significance of addressing poor sleep among adolescents and young adults is underscored by recent research linking it to adverse physical and psychological health outcomes, such as mood disturbances, impaired cognitive function, and increased risk incidence of hypertension and diabetes.
Aim: To evaluate the effects of smartphone usage on sleep quality among individuals using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and hypnogram data.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, sleep patterns were assessed using the PSQI questionnaire and Prime Nap sleep tracker app (version 1.1.4). The study was conducted by Deccan College of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, Telangana, India. The data was collected in the form of a hypnogram and the study was conducted in the participants’ homes (under domicile conditions) in the city of Hyderabad, Telangana, India from March 2020 to April 2020.

Blood pressure and feto maternal status were serially monitored. Termination was done at 37 completed weeks gestation or when the
patient progressed to severe preeclampsia. The average dose required for T. Labetalol was 300 mg and 30 mg for T. Nifedipine. In both the groups, all 50 patients had adequate control of blood pressure. Inspite of adequate control the disease progressed in both groups. In group A (T. Labetalol) 14% progressed to
severe pre-eclampsia. In group B (T. Nifedipine) 20% progressed to severe pre-eclampsia. Among the babies delivered, in group A 86% were term babies and 8% required SNN admission. In group B 80% were term babies and 10% required SNN admission. Comparing the two groups, group B had significantly higher number of side effects when compared to group A. None of the patients developed grave complications such as HELLP syndrome, pulmonary edema, coagulopathy, postpartum collapse, eclampsia. The maternal mortality was nil.
Thus when patients with preeclampsia are identified and treated atan earlier stage the morbidity and mortality associated with preeclampsia can be significantly reduced. Conclusion: From this study it is prudent that both T. Labetalol and T. Nifedipine are equally efficacious in the control of hypertension in mild preeclampsia.},

abstract = {Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the awareness of stroke in regards to the risk factors, warning symptoms, and knowledge of the therapeutic window period among varied strata of non-medical people attending a tertiary care center.
Materials and Methods: The interventional study involved the collection of data regarding awareness of stroke using a structured questionnaire with a total score of 16. Pre-intervention assessment was followed by intervention in the form of education regarding awareness of stroke administered one-on-one for personalized and effective comprehension by subjects. Then, subjects were asked to recall the information that was delivered to them and were scored accordingly.
Results: Among the 500 subjects included, 51% were female. About 76.8% of participants were young (age <50 years), and 83.4% were literate. Only 25.4% of participants were aware of the brain as the site of stroke. About 32.2% of candidates were aware of a few risk factors for stroke. Among them, the majority of participants were aware of hypertension (24%) as a risk factor. The most known warning symptom was “Numbness” or weakness of arm. The majority of the subjects (97.8%) were unaware of a therapeutic window period for stroke being 4.5 h or below. The mean pre-intervention score was 2.52 ± 1.65 while the mean post-intervention score was 15.10 ± 1.79 (P < 0.0001).
Conclusion: The study showed that even among literate participants, only a meager number of subjects were aware of the golden window period of intravenous thrombolysis. Educational intervention by means of an in-person and one-on-one explanation achieved significant levels of understanding of stroke. The study could be used to formulate large-scale educational programs that focus on spreading awareness of symptoms and risk factors while also instilling the importance of timely medical intervention for efficient thrombolytic therapy.},

Among them, the majority of participants were aware of hypertension (24%) as a risk factor. The most known warning symptom was “Numbness” or weakness of arm. The majority of the subjects (97.8%) were unaware of a therapeutic window period for stroke being 4.5 h or below. The mean pre-intervention score was 2.52 ± 1.65 while the mean post-intervention score was 15.10 ± 1.79 (P < 0.0001).
Conclusion: The study showed that even among literate participants, only a meager number of subjects were aware of the golden window period of intravenous thrombolysis. Educational intervention by means of an in-person and one-on-one explanation achieved significant levels of understanding of stroke. The study could be used to formulate large-scale educational programs that focus on spreading awareness of symptoms and risk factors while also instilling the importance of timely medical intervention for efficient thrombolytic therapy.
