Serial estimations of serum albumin levels as a prognostic marker in critically ill patients admitted in ICU in tertiary center: An observational study.

Critical illness is a severe condition that poses a significant threat to multiple organ systems and can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality. Serum albumin concentration can serve as an independent predictor of mortality risk in critically ill patients. This study aimed to determine the role of serial monitoring of serum albumin (SA) levels as a prognostic marker of mortality and morbidity.

Coexistence of cerebral venous thrombosis and dural arteriovenous fistula in an adolescent: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: Clinicians should consider central venous thrombosis (CVT) as a differential diagnosis in young adolescents with persistent headaches. It is essential to assess for concurrent CVT and dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF), particularly in those with a history of CVT.

Abstract: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) and dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) are uncommon vascular disorders with diverse clinical presentations.

Ileocaecal Tuberculosis Presenting with Massive Hematochezia: A Rare Clinical Manifestation.

Abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, anorexia, and fever are common symptoms of intestinal tuberculosis, while bleeding from the lumen, intestinal obstruction, perforation, and fistula formation are uncommon presentations in ileocaecal tuberculosis. Here, we present a case of a 33-year-old male with intestinal tuberculosis who initially presented with massive bleeding per rectum.

Assessment of Validity of SF 36 Questionnaire Using Nepali Language to Determine Health-related Quality of Life in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease: A Pilot Study.

Objectives: The main objective of this study was to translate and validate the short form 36 (SF-36) health survey questionnaire into the Nepali language using a standard protocol to determine health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD).

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among 40 patients with CLD. A formal translation of SF-36 from English into the Nepali language was performed.
