Background: Abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) findings can be seen in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. ECG may be an inexpensive tool to identify patients at high risk for developing cardiac dysfunction after TBI. This study aimed to examine abnormal ECG findings after isolated TBI and their association with true cardiac dysfunction based on echocardiogram.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Medulloblastoma (MB) is a heterogeneous disease, displaying distinct genetic profiles, with specific molecular subgroups. Various clinical, pathological and molecular variables have been associated with disease outcome and therefore utilised in risk stratification of patients.
Objectives: To perform molecular classification of medulloblastoma using surrogate immunohistochemistry (IHC) and associate molecular subgroups, histopathological types, and available clinicopathological parameters with overall survival (OS) of MB patients.
Background: Diffuse gliomas are represented in the 2007 WHO classification of CNS tumors as astrocytomas, oligoastrocytoma, and oligodendroglioma of grades II/III and glioblastomas WHO grade IV, which was a pure morphologic classification. WHO 2016 classification combines morphology with molecular markers like IDH, ATRX, and 1p/19q codeletion to give an integrated diagnosis.
Methods: The study was carried out on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues from 54 patients including three pediatric patients.
Background And Objectives: Insertion of an External Ventricular Drain (EVD) is a common and important lifesaving procedure that can lead to morbidity and mortality. This study was conducted to assess the infection rate, risk factors, causative organisms, and outcome of EVDs.
Materials And Methods: A prospective study was undertaken in a tertiary care centre from August 1 to October 30, 2020.
