Association of Sleep Quality With Fatigue in Post-COVID-19 Patients in an Indian Population.

Objective: The aims of the study are to assess the quality of sleep in recently recovered COVID-19 and long-COVID cases and to determine its associations with fatigue and pain.

Methods: Post-COVID-19 cases ( n = 201) and controls ( n = 206) were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire for sleep quality, Fatigue Severity Scale for fatigue, and Numeric Pain Rating Scale for pain in this observational study.

Results: Global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score was higher ( P ≤ 0.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus, physical activity, and neuromusculoskeletal complications.

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to investigate the neuromusculoskeletal complications of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and their associated factors, including the level of physical activity (PA) and clinicodemographic characteristics.

Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional analysis, we included 370 participants diagnosed with T2DM for no <1 year who satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Demographic and clinical characteristics were noted and a thorough clinical examination was performed on all the participants.

Clinical Profile and Outcome of Haemodialysis in Patients With COVID-19 - A Single Centre Experience.

Introduction Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing COVID-19 disease is the third coronavirus to have emerged in the last 20 years. The COVID-19 infection causes more severe illness in patients with comorbid diseases, especially in patients with diabetes, hypertension and kidney failure. Methods This is a retrospective study using electronic records and laboratory data of adult patients hospitalised at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Patna between May 1st, 2020 and March 31st, 2021, who were diagnosed with COVID-19 and needed haemodialysis.

Comparison of Relative Benefits of Mirror Therapy and Mental Imagery in Phantom Limb Pain in Amputee Patients at a Tertiary Care Center.

Objective: To determine the relative benefit of mirror therapy and mental imagery in phantom limb pain.

Design: Prospective randomized controlled trial.

Setting: Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna.

Utility of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in prenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta: A prospective study.

Context: Placenta accreta is the abnormal adherence of the placenta to the uterine wall and the most common cause for emergency postpartum hysterectomy. Accurate prenatal diagnosis of affected pregnancies allows optimal obstetric management.

Aims: To summarize our experience in the antenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta on imaging in a tertiary care setup.

Light chain multiple myeloma presenting with spinal plasmacytoma: Unusual radiological appearance mimicking giant cell tumor.

Plasmacytoma, an initial presentation of multiple myeloma, is extremely rare and an unusual cause of spinal cord compression in a young male. A 35-year-old man presented with complaints of progressive weakness and tingling of bilateral lower limbs, severe backache for 3 months, and bladder and bowel incontinence for 1 week duration. Imaging demonstrated lytic destruction of 10 th and 11 th dorsal vertebrae with large soft tissue component and compression of the spinal cord.

A young smoker with hemoptysis.

A young man presented with complaints of dry cough, right lower chest pain, and streaky hemoptysis for duration of 3 months. A nonresolving opacity on chest radiograph and mass-like consolidation on computed tomography (CT), led to biopsy of the mass under CT guidance. Histopathology provided the diagnosis.

Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica of talus mimicking posterior ankle impingement syndrome in a young male: a case report with review of the literature.

Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica is a rare skeletal developmental disorder representing an osteocartilaginous tumor arising from 1 or more epiphyses during childhood. We report a case of a young male who presented with complaints of pain and swelling in the posteromedial aspect of the left ankle with the clinical diagnosis of posterior impingement syndrome. Imaging studies, including radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, suggested the possibility of localized juxta-articular dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica arising from the talus.

Complex mullerian duct anomaly in a young female with primary amenorrhoea, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain.

Mullerian duct anomalies, though rare, can be a treatable cause of pelvic pain and infertility. Various complex Mullerian duct anomalies may exist with combination of features of more than one class. Since there are no precise clinical or imaging criteria to enable specific categorisation, there is ambiguous classification of these anomalies by various radiologists and clinicians.

Spectrum of high resolution computed tomography findings in occupational lung disease: experience in a tertiary care institute.

Objective: To study the spectrum of high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings in occupational lung disease in industrial workers and to assess the utility of International classification of HRCT for occupational and environmental respiratory diseases (ICHOERD).

Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of radiological data (radiographs and computed tomography chest scans) gathered over a period of 3 years (January 2010- December 2012) of industrial workers in an organised sector who presented with respiratory complaints. The HRCT findings were evaluated using ICHOERD.

Unusual mediastinal dumbbell tumor mimicking an aggressive malignancy.

Hydatid cyst is known to affect all possible anatomical locations of the human body. However, the mediastinal localization is extremely rare. This benign, commonly asymptomatic and incidentally detected disease, at times may simulate an aggressive malignancy by its potential to cause osseous destruction and intraspinal extension.

Deep circumflex iliac artery pseudoaneurysm as a complication of paracentesis.

We report a case of a pseudoaneurysm arising from the deep circumflex iliac artery, in an end-stage renal disease patient with gross ascitis, presenting with an anterior abdominal wall hematoma following paracentesis. Duplex Doppler sonography confirmed the presence of the pseudoaneurysm and multidetector computed tomography angiography delineated the detailed arterial anatomy.

Malignant anomalous right coronary artery detected by multidetector row computed tomography coronary angiography.

We report a case of an anomalous origin of a right coronary artery from the left coronary sinus with an inter-arterial course, between the aorta and the main pulmonary artery. This variant has been called malignant because of its association with sudden death, especially in young asymptomatic athletes. Although these variants are rare, knowledge of cross sectional anatomy of the coronary arteries and their variants is critical, especially because some variants are associated with sudden death.

Pediatric intervertebral disc calcification: A no touch lesion.

Intervertebral disc calcification (IVDC), though rare, remains an important differential of pediatric spinal pain. A 7-year-old boy presented with sudden-onset severe neck pain and restricted movements. There was no definite history of trauma or infection.
