Background: An association between increased incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and elevated levels of stored iron concentration was recently reported. The data in India regarding association between AMI and levels of serum ferritin are lacking.
Objectives: To study the association between serum ferritin level and risk of AMI.
Background: Many studies found that only hypomagnesemia, but not hypermagnesemia is linked with increased mortality. However, reports of mortality due to magnesium dysregulation in the critical care setting are controversial.
Objectives: To study serum magnesium levels in critically ill patients on admission in intensive care unit (ICU) and its correlation with patient's need and duration for ventilator support, duration of ICU stay, incidence of cardiac arrhythmias and mortality Methods: Two hundred forty six critically ill patients admitted in ICU with Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scores>10, were included for this prospective observational study.
Background: Most studies assessing drug resistant tuberculosis (DRTB) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infected patients in India have used conventional culture- based systems to diagnose DRTB that have a longer turnaround time leading to risk of amplification of resistance to an empirical regimen. We determined the prevalence of DRTB amongst people living with HIV (PLHIV) using the line probe assay and determined risk factors associated with the presence of multi drug resistant tuberculosis (MDRTB).
Methods: A Cross-sectional study was undertaken at Poona Hospital and Research Center (PHRC) and the Institute of Infectious Diseases, two tertiary level private care centers in Pune, India.
