Human cysticercosis is an infection by the larval stage of the tapeworm. We encountered a rare case of isolated cysticercosis of sternocleidomastoid muscle in a 25 year old female. She presented with 2.

Correlation of anthropometric parameters with QTc interval in malnourished children.

Various studies have reported the effect of severe malnutrition on electrolyte levels and electrocardiographic parameters. However, only a few have reported these findings in mild and moderate grades of malnutrition in children. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the effect of malnutrition (mainly mild and moderate grades) on corrected QT interval (QTc) and QT dispersion (QTcd) and electrolyte changes.
