WasalwarEnglish D. S. WasnikEnglishIntroduction: Hypothyroidism and Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is well-established predecessor of atherogenic cardiovascular disease. MetS includes a group of risk factors characterized by hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, prothrombotic, and proinflammatory conditions, which speed up the body's atherogenic process. Hypothyroidism causes hyperlipidemia, diastolic hypertension, endothelial dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease. Hypothyroidism is also associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity for which various theories have been proposed. One of the hypotheses suggested is causal interaction with the metabolic Syndrome (MetS). The Adult Treatment Panel III report (ATP III) of the National Cholesterol Education Program has identified the MetS as a Multiplex risk factor for cardiovascular disease that deserved more clinical attention. The prevalence rates vary greatly depending upon MetS, population, age, ethnicity etc. in India a rapid increase in its prevalence has been noted due to socioeconomic transitions to increasing mechanization, affluence, urbanization and urban migration. Useful changes within the thyroid organ might have an affiliation with MetS and its related components counting weight, affront resistance (AR), lipid and glucose digestion system anomalies, raised blood weight, and cardiovascular brokenness. MetS and Thyroid dysfunction (TD) are both characterized by a cluster of common variations from the norm such as stomach weight, hyperglycemia, and hypertension, decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and raised triglycerides (TG). Additionally, IR, distinguished as a fundamental component for MetS, too plays a part in hypothyroidism. Worldwide the most prevalent endocrine disorders are among thyroid diseases. Various studies in India showed that about 42 million people suffer from thyroid diseases. Aim: The main aim of this study is to find Prevalence of metabolic syndrome in hypothyroidism patients. Material and Methods: In this study, 100 patients known to have hypothyroidism with different age groups from 20 years to 60 were included. It was reported from all the patients who visited the hospital as detailed history of Outdoor patients and Indore patients, and laboratory analysis was also done. History regarding hypothyroidism symptoms was recorded as well as laboratory examination results like thyroid profile tests and Glucose and lipid analysis were also recorded. Result: In this study out of total 100 patients, 32 were males and 68 were females. The ratio of female to male was 2.125:1. The mean age was 42.7 years old. The mean TC, TG, LDL-C, and HDL-C levels in males were 179mg/dL, 142 mg/dL, 92 mg/ dL, 34.5 mg/dL and females were 166 mg/dL, 140 mg/dL, 85 mg/dL, and 43 mg/dL respectively. The mean WC in male and female was 110.5 and 105.2, respectively. Elevated TG (>150 mg/dL) was found in 17(53.1%) males and 60 (88.2%) females. Low HDL?C (≤40 mg/dL in men and ≤50 mg/dL in female) was found in 14 (43.8%) male and 62 (91.2%) female. Increased WC was found in 19 (59.4%) male and 66 (97.1%) female. Hypertension was found in 6 (18.8%) male and 30 (44.1%) female with an overall prevalence of 36%. MetS with three or more component was found in 19(59.4%) male and 65 (95.6%) females with overall prevalence of 84%. Conclusion: This study showed significant association between subclinical hypothyroidism and MetS. The overall prevalence rate of the MetS in this study was little bit higher than the rates reported in the general population in various studies and comparable to studies of hypothyroid patients. In Indian MetS patients’ hypothyroidism was the most common TD.

Methods: A total of 50 adult patients who were undergoing surgical intervention for acute appendicitis were examined and evaluated. They were randomly divided into two groups. In 25 cases (test group) after spinal anaesthesia and level of anaesthesia fixed at T4, 0.5 mg/kg of ketamine was given along with butorphanol, midazolam and glycopyrrolate, 10 mins before surgical incision. While in rest of 25 cases (control group), the same anaesthesia technique was used but intravenous ketamine was not given before pneumoperitoneum. The severity of pain was evaluated at 0 hrs (just after arousal), 4 hrs, 12 hrs and 24 hrs after surgery using 10 points visual analogue scale (VAS). Results: The VAS score was remarkably lower in the study group as compared to the test group for all the time durations postoperatively. Also, there was no drug interaction or side effect observed in test subjects. Conclusion: Preemptive administration of low dose ketamine has a phenomenal effect on the reduction of postoperative pain after appendicectomy.

Tractional retinal detachment in PDR is the result of neovascularization. As conventional management of PDR may not always prove effective, alternative options, including Ayurvedic treatment protocols, may be sought. Case Series: 3 diagnosed cases of PDR with associated conditions were managed using specially tailored Ayurvedic oral medicines, external therapies for both the eyes and head and a dietary protocol at Sreedhareeyam Ayurvedic Eye Hospital and Research Center, India. Both ocular and systemic parameters showed improvement at discharge. Discussion: The patients’ symptoms were compared to Timira or blurring of vision. Diagnostic parameters in Ayurveda were explored along the lines of pathological activity of Tridoshas (three somatic senses of humour - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) and Rakta (blood tissue). Treatments were aimed not only at PDR and its complications, but also to normalize digestion and metabolism, thus revitalizing normal physiology. This holistic approach can make Ayurvedic management of PDR an option to consider..

Chest physiotherapy is the fundamental component in post-operative physiotherapy. This study will specify the preferable technique for early prevention of postoperative pulmonary complications. Objective: The study aims at comparing the immediate effects of deep breathing with acapella and incentive spirometer in preventing early postoperative pulmonary complications followed by CABG. Method: In this study, 30 subjects fulfilling criteria divided into group A and group B randomly. Group A received breathing exercises with acapella and group B with the incentive spirometer. The outcome was evaluated through SPO2 levels, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), and numerical rating scale scores for dyspnea (NRS). The data was analysed and the inference was drawn through paired and unpaired t-tests. Results: The study obtained very discrete findings. Out of 4 days recordings of the outcome, the SPO2 levels were significantly improved in group B than group A on the first day of treatment, while after 4days of treatment there was no significant difference between group A and group B. The PEFR score was significantly higher in group A than group B after four days. There was no significant difference in the lowering of NRS score for perceived shortness of breath among both groups. Conclusion: In this study it is concluded that the breathing exercises through Acapella and Incentive Spirometer are effective in preventing early PPCs followed by CABG by improving PEFR(mostly through acapella), SPO2 levels and reduction of shortness of breath, thus improving quality outcome.

Numerous security incidents such as ransomware and gross violations of patient security were observed in the healthcare sector, patient privacy must receive more attention from the medical sector. Furthermore, as the severity of the illness increases, it becomes paramount for the patient’s privacy to be protected as there are socio-economic impacts on a patient’s lifestyle. One such disease that is receiving greater attention and funding is cancer. With cancer-killing, some 8 million patients on an annual basis further research and diagnostics measures can leverage on various data management techniques to improve results accuracy and gain critical insights into the disease. Methods: As such the cervical cancer dataset from “Hospital Universitario de Caracas” in Caracas, Venezuela is used to explore various data cleaning techniques for filling missing values such as global constants, proportion-based filling of missing values and using central tendency measures. Furthermore, as most data in this form of research tends to be skewed, data transformation techniques are also discussed to normalise the data. Another transformation which is applied extensively in this study is the discretisation methods that is used to bin continuous variables to qualitative groupings that are then used for machine learning techniques. Results: As medical data can be extremely large, the Apache Hadoop framework is used to upload the dataset and Optimised Row-Column (ORC) is the most optimal way to store and read data is also demonstrated. Several hypotheses were developed and tested to gain some preliminary insights into cervical cancer.

Oestrogens include many cardioprotective mechanisms that alter the vascular tone by enhancing the levels of nitrous oxide. Endothelial cells are stabilized by oestrogens, they augment antioxidant potential and alter fibrinolytic proteins. These are all cardioprotective mechanisms that are reduced with the beginning of menopause. Objectives: To evaluate the relation of oestradiol hormonal variation with plasma lipid concentrations in pre- and postmenopausal women. Material and mMethods: 50 premenopausal women and 50 postmenopausal female were selected as subjects. Data were obtained via clinical assessment from laboratory investigations and questionnaires. Results: Serum levels of Total Cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG), LDL-cholesterol, and VLDL-cholesterol in postmenopausal women were significantly elevated when matched with premenopausal women.

LaddadEnglish Anjali PatilEnglish P. A. HavaleEnglish S.S. VhawalEnglish Bahulekar AshitoshEnglishIntroduction: In India especially in rural areas, the majority of eclampsia cases report to hospital in an emergency. They are unregistered with inadequate antenatal care and travel a long distance before reaching the hospital as the rural health centres are not sufficiently equipped to manage this condition. Aim: To determine the efficacy of low dose magnesium sulphate in eclampsia and imminent eclampsia. To measure serum levels of magnesium with this regime. To correlate serum magnesium levels and efficacy. To identify complications of magnesium sulphate therapy in the mother and the baby. Methods: 120 cases of preeclampsia and eclampsia were allotted by simple random sampling technique to two groups i.e. low dose regime group and Pritchard regime group. It was observed that the majority of the cases were unbooked (90%) and were in the age group of 21-25 years (76.6%). Results: Study observed that eclampsia was primarily a disease of primigravida (61%). Most women in the study group had a bodyweight of fewer than 50 kgs (74%). The average total dose of magnesium sulphate required was 20 grams i.e. 54.5% less than that required in standard Pritchard regime. Majority of the cases (90%) responded to the low dose regime with the recurrence rate being (10%) as compared to Pritchard regime group being (91.6%) and recurrence being 8.33%. The success rate for seizure prophylaxis in imminent eclampsia being 100% in both the groups. The average serum magnesium levels low dose regime in sample 1 was 3.36±0.76 and 3.30±0.69 for sample 2.

Acute respiratory failure, altered mental status, and hemodynamic instability associated with acute exacerbations of COPD are commonly encountered and require careful management in the intensive care unit (ICU). Noninvasive and invasive ventilator support in conjunction with pharmacotherapy can be lifesaving, although mortality remains high. Aim: To investigate the mortality rate, characteristics and health-related quality of life of COPD patients admitted to Sri Shankaracharya Institute of medical sciences ICU and how the decision is made whether to use invasive or non-invasive intensive treatment of the newly admitted COPD patient in need of ventilator support. Material and Methods: 70 patients admitted to ICU, Sri Shankaracharya Institute of medical sciences were included in the study and their detailed data, including Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL) was assessed at the time of discharge, 3 months and 6 months post-discharge. A questionnaire was distributed to concerned ICUs personnel to define decisive factors in making the choice between invasive and non-invasive ventilation. The collected data and answers were analysed. Results: 1.5-2% of all ICU admitted patients needed ventilation. The mean age of patients was 68 years and all were severely ill on admission, with high respiratory rates. There were more men than women. The short- and long term mortality was high despite intensive care treatment. The majority of patients were treated with Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) with a short hospital stay. NIV seems to be preferable to invasive ventilation at admission for short and long term benefits. The health-related quality of life of COPD patients after treatment in ICUs is lower than in the general population. However, it does not decline between 3 and 6 months after ICU discharge. At the end of 6 months, the HRQL is quite similar to that of COPD patients not treated on the ICU. Conclusions: Patients admitted to ICU for COPD are severely ill and have long term mortality despite ventilation and intensive care. NIV should be the first treatment modality after ICU admission and has short and long term benefits. Also, NIV doesn’t increase mortality if failed. Health-related quality of life post-treatment is lower in such patients than the general population but similar to COPD patients not treated in ICU at 6 months post-discharge.

Objectives: This study was performed to measure the effects and health-related quality of life among patients suffering from healed and unhealed diabetic foot ulcer in the central Indian rural population. Method: This was an observational and cross-sectional survey among 118 diabetic foot ulcer patients of either sex were selected randomly from the patients visiting the routine Surgery OPD of tertiary care centres. A pre-tested structured interview proforma was used to collect demographic, social, familial, treatment-related factors, employment and expenditure details. The 29 types of question item DFS- SF was used to evaluate the health-related quality of life among the same diabetic patients in rural population. For the economic loss, this was calculated by the total value of man-days lost in case of the employed population. Results: The mean ± SD of total HRQL score for the healed group was 74.86 ± 12.11, and the unhealed group was 59.92 ± 15.41. The difference between the mean scores for ulcer duration and sex was 16.75 (95% CI = [-22.66, -10.81]). The median value for the total economic loss was 26000 INR (range of 450 to 42000 INR). Conclusion: The mean HRQL score was statistically significant when compared between healed and unhealed groups. There is a gross economic burden imposed on the family by diabetic foot ulcer which needs greater attention. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to reduce the social and economic consequences of diabetic Mellitus causing severe foot ulcers.

M.English Mamatkulova F. KhEnglish Ruzikulov N.Y.EnglishIntroduction: Acute obstructive bronchitis is a widespread disease among children, leading to frequent relapses and complications. This pathology occupies one of the leading places in the structure of childhood morbidity and mortality. Analysis of risk factors in predicting the likelihood of acute obstructive bronchitis in children is essential for modern pulmonology. Acute pneumonia in patients with acute obstructive bronchitis occurs 4 times more often and almost always has a complicated course. When exposed to an infectious factor and other agents, various immunological changes are observed in children and the body&#39;s ability to develop a full-fledged post-infectious immunity is sharply reduced. Result: We examined 65 children with acute obstructive bronchitis and 35 children with acute simple bronchitis without obstruction at the age of 3 months. up to 3 years. Children with acute obstructive bronchitis were at the age of 6 months. up to 3 years old, of which 39 (60%) were boys, 26 (40%) were girls. Immunological research was carried out in the clinical laboratory of the clinic of the Samarkand Medical Institute. The number of T-lymphocytes, T-helpers, T-suppressors, as well as B-lymphocytes, was determined by a modified method. The concentration of serum immunoglobulins A, M, G in peripheral blood was determined by the method of Mancini et al. Phagocytic activity of neutrophils was studied using latex particles. The first group of patients was on traditional treatment with the inclusion of T-activin, and the second group of children was only on traditional treatment. Conclusion: Dynamic immunological study revealed a decrease in factors of phagocytic activity of neutrophils, cellular immunity and developing transient insufficiency of humoral immunity with an increase in the duration of the disease.

Early diagnosis and correct detection of TB has always been a challenge since its discovery in 1882. The economic burden in low- and middleincome countries is estimated to be US$ 10.1 billion in 2019. It is necessary to analyze the current tuberculosis diagnostic techniques and understands their advantages and limitations for future advancement. Observation: The current status of tuberculosis necessitates advancement in diagnostic techniques. In recent years with the initiatives taken by WHO, various new diagnosis techniques have been introduced to the world. Techniques such as Fluorescent microscopy and bleach microscopy with their improved sensitivity are proposed to give a new face to the microscopy. Whereas molecular techniques such as Cartridge based NAAT and line probe assay are also proving their potential. Culture techniques such as MB/BacT, Versa TREK/ESP, and Thin layer agar cannot be replaced for their sensitivity and specificity, but they are required to be used alongside new techniques. Novel techniques such as biosensors with the aid of their higher sensitivity, low detection cost, and simple methodology are paving a better future for the world. Conclusion: Despite the long list of conventional diagnostic techniques, early and precise diagnosis of tuberculosis is still a challenge in developing countries. For the complete eradication of tuberculosis from world, we need to focus on developing new diagnostic techniques and also increase awareness about the existing techniques.

Tetherin or BST2 is one such interferon-induced antiviral protein or immune regulatory protein of the human host that can restrict the release of virions of SARS-CoV-2. The ORF7a encoded protein of SARS-CoV-2 in-turn has been found to act as an antagonist to the human tetherin protein by interacting with key amino acid residues, thereby weakening the immune response. Methods: In this research after consensus analysis of results from various servers mutations have been induced in selected residues of ORF7a coronavirus protein. Most conserved residues have been obtained through Consurf server, ligand binding pockets, and active sites have been identified after combining results from multiple servers like CastP and 3DLigand Site. Results: The most deleterious mutation has been identified through DUET and DynaMut servers and mutations induced thereafter have been tested for a decrease in binding affinity through the HawkDock server. The protein-protein interaction studies have been performed before and after the induction of mutation through the HawkDock server. Conclusions: The decrease in binding affinity between human tetherin and ORF7a protein is supportive of the need to study the induction of mutation and its detrimental effect on viruses, so that effective combat study can be designed with the interplay of our native immune system and drugs from external sources. Moreover, other deterrents like anti-viral peptides can be designed against selected amino acids.
