Objective: Current research compared traditional FESS, balloon sinuplasty, and powered instruments for CRS efficiency.
Methods: A prospective comparison analysis of 150 CRS patients who received FESS. The surgical method divided the patients into three groups: Group A (conventional FESS, = 50), Group B (balloon sinuplasty, = 50), and Group C (powered instrumentation, = 50).
Article Synopsis
- The study explores how protein energy wasting (PEW) and undernutrition affect infection-related hospital admissions (IRHA) in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
- Over 60% of the 137 children studied were found to be undernourished, and a significant portion experienced high rates of IRHA, particularly those with undernutrition and PEW.
- Key risk factors for higher IRHA included poor nutritional status, low BMI, and inflammation, with modified PEW linked to a doubled risk of recurrent infections.
Article Synopsis
- Despite India being a major exporter of generic medicines, many patients struggle to afford them, leading to millions falling into poverty due to medication costs.
- The study aimed to evaluate patients' knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions about the Jan Aushadhi Scheme and generic medicines at a hospital in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
- Results indicated a significant lack of awareness about the Jan Aushadhi Scheme, with many patients mistakenly believing that generic drugs are inferior to brand-name ones, highlighting the need for better education and outreach by healthcare authorities.
Background: Limited data exists regarding the clinical course and outcomes of children with primary focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) from low- and middle- income countries.
Methods: Children aged 1-18 years with biopsy-proven primary FSGS followed from January 2010-June 2023 in a tertiary-care center were enrolled and their clinical profile, histological characteristics, kidney outcomes, and predictors of adverse outcomes were determined.
Results: Over 13 years, 73 (54.
Introduction: Dietary acid load (DAL), which reflects the balance between acid- and alkaline-forming foods, is a modifiable risk factor for metabolic acidosis in CKD. Owing to the paucity of data in the Indian context, we undertook this cross-sectional study to estimate DAL and assess acid and alkaline food consumption in children with CKD2-5D (Chronic kidney disease stage 2 to 5 and 5D-those on hemodialysis).
Methods: Clinical profile, dietary assessment of energy, protein intake/deficits, and macronutrients were noted and computed using software created by the division of nutrition, St John's research institute based on Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) guidelines in clinically stable children with CKD2-5D.
