Survivorship Struggles: Navigating Etiologies and Clinical Parameters of Febrile Neutropenia During Induction Chemotherapy in Acute Leukemia Patients.

Background Acute leukemia, characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of immature white blood cell precursors, poses significant challenges during induction chemotherapy, including the elevated risk of febrile neutropenia and its associated complications. Our study aims to explain the clinical and etiological parameters of these patients in a resource-limited setting. Methods This retrospective study focused on a total of 102 adult patients with acute leukemia who developed febrile neutropenia during the induction chemotherapy phase.

Clinical and Microbiological Analysis of Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia Among Patients With Ischemic Stroke: A Retrospective Outlook.

Background Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with ischemic stroke. Our study aims to explore the clinical and microbiological aspects (culture and sensitivity) of stroke patients with a confirmed diagnosis of HAP. Methodology This retrospective cross-sectional study included a total of 232 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of HAP following ischemic stroke.

Correlation of Prolonged Corrected QT Interval With Ventricular Arrhythmias and In-Hospital Mortality Among ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients: A Mystique or Lucidity?

Background Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are a frequent cause of cardiovascular mortality, especially in developing countries. Prolongation of corrected QT (QTc) interval predisposes patients to life-threatening VAs. Our study aims to assess the correlation of prolonged QTc interval with VAs and in-hospital mortality among ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.
