A Retrospective Observational Study Examining Physical Activity Among Adults in the United States With Angina or Coronary Heart Disease.

Introduction:  Coronary heart disease (CHD) involves inadequate blood supply to the myocardium by the coronary arteries due to the formation of atherosclerotic plaque in the vessel lumen. It has a complex etiopathogenesis. Physical activity (PA) and exercise lead to vascular remodeling and improved endothelial function, which, in turn, improves the arterial blood supply to the myocardium.

Probiotic formulations and gastro-intestinal diseases in the paediatric population: a narrative review.

Background/aim: Probiotics are live microbial supplements that improve the microbial balance in the host animal when administered in adequate amounts. They play an important role in relieving symptoms of many diseases associated with gastrointestinal tract, for example, in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), antibiotic-associated diarrhea, relapsing Clostridium difficile colitis, Helicobacter pylori infections, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this narrative review, the authors aim to evaluate the role of different probiotic formulations in treating gastrointestinal diseases in pediatric population aged 18 years or younger and highlight the main considerations for selecting probiotic formulations for use in this population.

Cotrimoxazole-induced hyperkalemia in renal transplant patient-Case report.

We present the case of a 55-year-old male patient who developed hyperkalemia after using Cotrimoxazole (TMP-SMX). There was a marked increase in potassium levels from 3.3 mEq/L on Day 5 when cotrimoxazole was started to 6.

nical rofile and ide ffects of chronic use of oral miodarone in cardiology outpatients department (CLIPSE-A Study)- A prospective observational study.

Background: Amiodarone belongs to Class-III anti-arrhythmic drugs. It is one of the most effective anti-arrhythmic drugs used to treat or prevent several types of arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia, and wide complex tachycardia, but unfortunately carries a high toxicity profile. Also, side effects of amiodarone involving various organs can be life-threatening.

Contrast induced acute hypersensitivity reaction in a 10-year-old patient: A rare case study.

Background: Immediate skin rashes, flushing, or urticarial pruritus, rhinorrhea, nausea, short retching, and/or vomiting, diaphoresis, coughing, and vertigo are all symptoms of mild hypersensitivity reactions with an incidence of 3%.

Case Presentation: A 10-year old male child presented with acute hypersensitivity reaction due to the contrast used during the CECT scan.

Discussion: Contrast should always be used in caution with children.

Scleroderma and interstitial lung disease - A case report.

Background: Systemic sclerosis with interstitial lung disease is one of the rarely reported autoimmune disorders. The ILD associated with systemic sclerosis is the most common cause of mortality in these patients.

Case Presentation: A 37-year-old female patient who is a known case of Scleroderma, Cor pulmonale, and hypothyroidism presented with the exacerbated symptoms of dyspnea and orthopnea.
