 Different deposition patterns and grading systems used to define and identify DAI remain discordant and to date these are a challenge in clinical practice. Our main objective was to study the post-mortem axonal changes and develop a grading system to identify DAI on the basis of histopathological and immunoreactive β-amyloid precursor protein (β-APP) observations in severe TBI cases.  Prospective study with 35 decedents with sTBI (GCS score ≤ 8) was conducted and samples were collected from three different sites-corpus callosum, thalamus and brain stem.

The diagnosis and treatment of patients in the healthcare industry are greatly aided by data analytics. Massive amounts of data should be handled using machine learning approaches to provide tools for prediction and categorization to support practitioner decision-making. Based on the kind of tumor, disorders like breast cancer can be categorized.

Background: The cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) approach to psychosis is a relatively recent development and focuses directly on the core psychotic symptoms of hallucinations and delusions.

Aim: The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of cognitive behavior therapy in managing hallucination in patients with schizophrenia and to evaluate the generalizability and durability of the therapeutic gains.

Materials And Methods: In this confirmatory pre-post assessment study, based on the purposive sampling technique, a sample consisting of 40 (20 for experimental and the other 20 for control group) patients having schizophrenia with core symptoms of hallucination and delusions under treatment as usual were selected and matched on the sociodemographic and clinical variables.

Morquio syndrome is caused by the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) enzyme, which is required for the catabolism of glycosaminoglycans (namely, chondroitin-6-sulfate and keratan sulfate). Pathogenic accumulation of these glycosaminoglycans occurs throughout the body. The various organs and tissues affected are bones, cartilage, tendon, teeth, trachea and lungs, heart, cornea, skin and connective tissues.

Article Synopsis
  • Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of trauma-related deaths, and measuring the biomarker procalcitonin (PCT) may help assess injury severity and predict patient outcomes, particularly mortality.
  • The study aims to correlate PCT levels with TBI patient outcomes at ICU discharge and examine its relationship with extracranial injuries and complications during hospitalization.
  • Findings suggest that higher PCT levels at admission are associated with increased mortality from CNS injuries, while certain PCT thresholds on day 2 can indicate risks for secondary causes of death like sepsis.
