Correlating symptom severity index, clinical diagnostic criteria of CTS-6 and timed Phalen's test in clinical evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Background: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) poses significant diagnostic challenges, especially in resource-limited settings. Reliable tools such as the 6-item Symptom Severity Index, Timed Phalen's Test (TPT) and CTS-6 are promising but under investigated. Correlation between these tools and symptom severity remains underexplored.

Parental History of Hypertension: A Risk for Autonomic Dysfunction and Metabolic and Vascular Derangement in Normotensive Male Offspring.

Background: Children of hypertensive parents have an increased propensity of developing hypertension, at an age very much prior to their parents. Understanding the pathophysiology of hypertension in such young individuals, especially baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), is necessary. Reduced heart rate variability (HRV), insulin resistance (IR), dyslipidemia, and decreased vasodilatory adipokines, namely, apelin and relaxin, in normotensives may predispose to the onset of hypertension.

Altered baroreflex sensitivity at rest and during Valsalva maneuver in healthy male offspring of hypertensive patients.

Introduction: A family history of hypertension puts young adults at a higher risk of developing hypertension, that too, at an earlier age than their parents. Recent studies suggest that the baroreflex mechanism, which takes care of the short-term regulation of blood pressure (BP), also plays a role in the long-term regulation of BP. Studies have reported decreased baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in hypertensives.

Cooperative B-H activation by Cp* based κ-,-chelated Ru(II) and Mo(II) complexes (Cp* = η-CMe).

The chemistry of the Cp* based κ--chelated ruthenium complex, [Cp*RuPPh(κ--(NCHS)], 1 with different boranes has been explored. The room temperature reaction of 1 with BH·THF and bulky boranes, such as MesBH and HBAr, led to the formation of different dihydridoborate complexes, [{κ--(NBHR)(SHC)}RuCp*], 2-4 (2: R = H, 3: R = Mes, and 4: R = Ar; Mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl, and Ar = 3,5-bistrifluoromethyl-benzene). In contrast, the Cp* based κ--chelated molybdenum complex, [Cp*Mo(CO){κ--(NCHS)}], 5, yielded the agostic borate species, [Cp*Mo(CO){κ--(NBHR) (NCHS)}], 6 and 7 (6: R = Mes and 7: R = Ar) at elevated temperatures.

Study to Evaluate Targeted Management and Syndromic Management in Women Presenting with Abnormal Vaginal Discharge.

Introduction: Vaginal discharge is a commonest complaint among women in reproductive age group. Infective vaginal discharge can be broadly categorized into vaginitis or mucopurulent cervicitis. Vaginitis is predominantly caused by bacterial vaginosis, vaginal candidiasis, vaginal trichomoniasis, etc.

Placenta Percreta in First Trimester Leading to Disseminated Intravascular Coagulopathy (DIC): A Rare Case Report.

Placenta percreta is the most severe form of abnormal placental attachment. It is a variant of placenta accreta in which chorionic villi penetrate the entire thickness of the myometrium through the uterine serosa and may involve the adjacent structures. Literature review shows very few cases encountered during the first trimester of pregnancy.

Comparative study on the effect of Saptamrita Lauha and Yoga therapy in myopia.

Background: Myopia is very common ophthalmic disease especially in children and adolescence. In Ayurvedic texts, only by the main feature impairment of distant vision myopia can be correlated with Drishtigata Rogas (2(nd) Patalgata Timira).

Aim: To compare the effect of Saptamruta Lauha and Yoga therapy in myopia.

A Comparison of Low-Fluence 1064-nm Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser with Topical 20% Azelaic Acid Cream and their Combination in Melasma in Indian Patients.

Background: Melasma is an acquired symmetric hypermelanosis characterised by irregular light to gray-brown macules on sun-exposed skin with a predilection for the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, nose and chin. The management of melasma is challenging and requires meticulous use of available therapeutic options.

Aims: To compare the therapeutic efficacy of low-fluence Q-switched Nd: YAG laser (QSNYL) with topical 20% azelaic acid cream and their combination in melasma in three study groups of 20 patients each.
