Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Who Is At Risk?

Introduction: Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a rare but well recognized complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage associated with increased morbidity and poor clinical outcomes. There is a scarcity of literature describing the prevalence and risk factors associated with this complication. The aim of this study was to identify patients who are at risk of developing TCM in non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Epidemiology of Neurotrauma in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit: A Single-center Experience of 10 Years.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children can lead to grave consequences. The mechanism, mode, and management of pediatric neurotrauma are different from adult neurotrauma, and there is a growing demand to study the clinicoepidemiology of pediatric TBI.

Objective: To explore the clinicoepidemiological profile and outcome of pediatric neurotrauma.

Bacteriophage induces modifications in outer membrane protein expression and antibiotic susceptibility in Acinetobacter baumannii.

Bacteriophages, the most abundant biological agents targeting bacteria, offer a promising alternative to antibiotics for combating multi-drug resistant pathogens like Acinetobacter baumannii. However, the rapid development of bacteriophage resistance poses a significant challenge. This study highlights the contribution of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in the emergence of bacteriophage resistance in A.

Survival and toxicity outcomes of hypofractionated conformal radiotherapy compared to conventionally fractionated radiotherapy in the treatment of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas.

Introduction: Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas are associated with dismal survival outcomes. Conventional fractionation radiation to a dose of 60 Gy is the standard of treatment. This retrospective review aims to compare survival and toxicity outcomes of patients treated with conventional fractionation (CF) and hypofractionation (HF) radiotherapy.

Anthropometric Indices as a Predictive Screening Tool for Hypertension among Young Indian Adults.

Background: High blood pressure (BP) is increasing at an alarming rate in India and is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease. Increasing obesity is one of the risk factors for the increasing trend in hypertension among young adults.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the comparative abilities of anthropometric indices of general and central obesity in predicting hypertension among apparently healthy young adults.
