Management of no Reflow during Percutaneous Transcoronary Angioplasty with Catheter-Directed Intracoronary Thrombolysis: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Background: Intracoronary thrombus is common in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the treatment of choice for these patients. Intracoronary thrombus is still a challenge during PCI in STEMI, even with dual antiplatelets, glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor, and anticoagulation.

Developing Clinical Decision Support System using Machine Learning Methods for Type 2 Diabetes Drug Management.

Background And Objectives: Application of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) for automation of diabetes management can enhance equitable access to care and ensure delivery of minimum standards of care. Objective of the current study was to create a clinical decision support system using machine learning approach for diabetes drug management in people living with Type 2 diabetes.

Methodology: Study was conducted at an Endocrinology clinic and data collected from the electronic clinic management system.

Is Chronic Opioid Abuse Associated with Cerebral Atrophy? An Observational Study.

Background: Recreational drug abuse is a serious health problem that poses detrimental effects on central nervous system. Neuroimaging plays a pivotal role in the detection of these abnormal changes in the brain associated with the drug abuse. This study focuses on the grading of cerebral atrophy in the opioid-addicted patients and their association with the age and duration of opioid abuse.

A Comparison of Hypertonic Saline and Mannitol on Intraoperative Brain Relaxation in Patients with Raised Intracranial Pressure during Supratentorial Tumors Resection: A Randomized Control Trial.

Introduction: Hyperosmotic agents are used to decrease intracranial pressure (ICP). We aim to compare the effect of euvolemic solutions of 3% hypertonic saline (HTS) and 20% mannitol on intraoperative brain relaxation in patients with clinical or radiological evidence of raised ICP undergoing surgery for supratentorial tumors.

Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning in Diabetes Care.

Artificial intelligence/Machine learning (AI/ML) is transforming all spheres of our life, including the healthcare system. Application of AI/ML has a potential to vastly enhance the reach of diabetes care thereby making it more efficient. The huge burden of diabetes cases in India represents a unique set of problems, and provides us with a unique opportunity in terms of potential availability of data.

Comparison of Three Different Methods of Attenuating Postoperative Sore Throat, Cough, and Hoarseness of Voice in Patients Undergoing Tracheal Intubation.

Context: Postoperative sore throat (POST) is a frequent and undesirable complication after general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. Various pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods with variable success rate are used for attenuating POST. However, no single drug has been universally accepted.

Inadvertent carotid artery cannulation with malposition of catheter tip in right ventricle in tetralogy of fallot patient undergoing total intracardiac repair - A case report.

Central venous catheterization is an essential procedure in patient undergoing cardiac surgery, as it provides central venous pressure monitoring, fluid administration, and infusion of inotropes during perioperative period. In the cardiac surgery, where the patients are anticoagulated, an inadvertent arterial puncture can lead to serious complications. Hematoma following inadvertent arterial puncture is one of the common complications, which can compromise cerebral circulation.

Drug Prescription Patterns and Cost Analysis of Diabetes Therapy in India: Audit of an Endocrine Practice.

Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze the current trend in the use of antidiabetes as well as other drugs for comorbidities along the duration of diabetes. The study also aimed to analyze the direct drug cost to patients.

Settings And Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Intractable Polyuria Mimicking Diabetes Insipidus-Source Traced to Vecuronium Infusion.

Continuous infusion of vecuronium is a commonly used technique for patients requiring prolonged neuromuscular blockade for mechanical ventilation. As compared with older neuromuscular blocking agents, it confers the advantages of rapid excretion and intermediate duration of action. Prolongation of neuromuscular blockade and muscle weakness are the known complications of continuous vecuronium infusion.
