Predictors of Clinically Significant Bleeding in Thrombocytopenic Dengue Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Unit: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Recognition of clinically significant bleeding (CSB) is vital for effective management of dengue patients. The primary objective was to identify the predictors of CSB among dengue patients and to formulate a simple scoring system. The secondary objective was to compare the grades of bleeding and severity of thrombocytopenia.

The Comparative Efficacy of Ceftazidime-Avibactam with or without Aztreonam vs Polymyxins for Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae Infections: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae (CRE) is associated with high mortality in critically ill patients, with limited treatment options. This study aims to compare clinical response, microbiological response, and mortality in patients treated with ceftazidime-avibactam with or without aztreonam (CAZ-AVI + AZT) and colistin or polymyxin B (polymyxins) in CRE infections.

Materials And Methods: This single-center prospective observational study included adult patients with CRE infections treated with CAZ-AVI+AZT or polymyxins between January 2022 and December 2022 at a Tertiary Care Medical Center in India.

Reliability of the electric pulp tester as an indicator of pulpal anesthesia in primary maxillary posterior teeth to assess the need for supplemental injections: An observational clinical study.

Background: The primary maxillary molars occasionally remain sensitive during operative procedures even post the buccal supraperiosteal injection. This could be due to the widely flared palatal roots receiving accessory innervation from the palatal nerves. Identifying inadequate anesthesia upfront using the electric pulp test (EPT) would give vital information to the clinician on the need of a supplemental palatal injection.
