A Prospective Study of Comparison of APACHE-IV & SAPS-II Scoring Systems and Calculation of Standardised Mortality Rate in Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Patients.

Context: Severe sepsis and septic shock are major causes of mortality in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Illness Scoring Systems can help in the prediction of outcome of these patients.

Aim: To calculate and compare APACHE-IV and SAPS-II Scoring Systems along with calculation of Standardised Mortality Rate (SMR) in patients of severe sepsis and septic shock in the ICU.

Study Design: Observational-analytical prospective study.

Voglibose: an alpha glucosidase inhibitor.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a morbid disease worldwide, with increasing incidence as time passes. It has macro-vascular and micro-vascular complications. The main cause of these complications is poorly controlled postprandial hyperglycaemia.

The prevalence of headache may be related with the latitude: a possible role of Vitamin D insufficiency?

According to recent observations, there is worldwide vitamin D insufficiency (VDI) in various populations. A number of observations suggest a link between low serum levels of vitamin D and higher incidence of chronic pain. A few case reports have shown a beneficial effect of vitamin D therapy in patients with headache disorders.

Relapsing remitting hypnic headache responsive to indomethacin in an adolescent: a case report.

Hypnic headache (HH) is a rare sleep-associated primary headache disorder that usually begins after the age of 60 years. Here we report a 19-year-old male with 4-year history of predominantly left sided HH. He is the youngest person reported who fulfills the IHS diagnostic criteria for HH.
