Navigating Grief in the Realm of Patient Mortality: Insights from Trainee Doctors from a Tertiary Medical Hospital in India- A Qualitative Study.

Background: Physician grief, as defined by Kenneth Doka as disenfranchised grief, refers to "the grief that individuals experience when they incur a loss that is not openly acknowledged, publicly mourned, or socially supported." The experience of patient deaths on the emotional health of young doctors is unknown. The after-effects like stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, and others indirectly have a potential impact on decision-making and patient care.

Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI) and Systemic Immune-Inflammatory Index (SII) as markers of severity among patients having COVID-19 infection.

Background: Prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) are two novel markers that have emerged as potential candidates as an early indication of the severity of the disease in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.

Objective: The objective of the study is to assess the utility of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII) as markers of severity among patients with COVID-19 infection.

Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in a tertiary care centre in South India.

A Systematic Review of Yoga as a Supportive Treatment for Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been one of the leading causes of neuropsychiatric disorders among children, which is why it is extremely essential to have a clear understanding of the disease and the new and upcoming treatment options available. Yoga has been one of the most recently explored and newer techniques that have been employed in the treatment of this disorder. It has become extremely crucial to understand the importance of using supportive treatments in the management of ADHD owing to the innumerable side effects caused by stimulant medication and the growing demands of parental concern about starting their children on stimulant medication at a very young age.

Social Isolation, Loneliness, and Cardiovascular Mortality: The Role of Health Care System Interventions.

Purpose Of Review: The world is proliferating rapidly, with science and technology advancing at an incredible rate. These advances have, however, ushered in an age with a rise in social isolation (SI) and loneliness. SI is an objective term that refers to lacking social contact or support.

Evaluation of association between time in range, a continuous glucose monitoring metric, and cardiac autonomic neuropathy in type 2 diabetes patients.

Introduction: Time in range (TIR), a metric of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provides better information regarding the individual's glycemic variability than a static measure like glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). TIR is emerging as an independent risk factor for diabetic complications, both microvascular and macrovascular complications independent of HbA1c. Hence, this study evaluates the association between TIR and cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in type 2 diabetic patients.

Evaluation of Uric Acid to Albumin Ratio as a Marker of Coronary Artery Disease Severity in Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a widespread cause of morbidity and mortality. Serum uric acid, a mediator of endothelial dysfunction and inflammation in vascular disease, can increase the risk of atherosclerosis, contributing to CAD. As serum albumin inhibits platelet activation and aggregation, low levels of it can contribute to platelet-induced coronary artery stenosis.

Prevalence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is one of the microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus, which is due to the involvement of autonomic nerve fibers innervating the heart and blood vessels. CAN was found to have a greater degree of morbidity and mortality than their non-CAN counterparts as it is underdiagnosed. Hence, this study aims to determine the prevalence and severity of CAN in type 2 diabetics in the South Indian setting.

Outcomes of Totally Endoscopic Versus Microscopic Techniques in Middle Ear Cholesteatoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Endoscopes have revolutionized the field of otology for the past two decades due to its minimally invasive technique and improved visualization. The advantage of endoscope during surgery for middle ear cholesteatoma both for diagnosing and aiding in removal of residual disease from the hidden areas and the resulting lower recurrence rates have been proven in the past by many authors. But the feasibility of totally endoscopic ear surgery and its surgical and patient related outcomes are yet to be explored in detail.
