Objective: This study aimed to investigate the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic on tuberculosis (TB) trends, patient demographics, disease types and hospitalisation duration within the Respiratory Medicine Department over three distinct phases: pre-COVID-19, COVID-19 and post-COVID-19.
Design: Retrospective analysis using electronic medical records of patients with TB admitted between June 2018 and June 2023 was done to explore the impact of COVID-19 on patients with TB. The study employed a meticulous segmentation into pre-COVID-19, COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 eras.
Article Synopsis
- - Breast cancer is a significant global health issue, with 2.3 million new cases and 685,000 deaths reported in 2020; projections suggest this could rise to 3 million cases and 1 million deaths by 2040.
- - A study in rural Rajasthan, India, involved 2023 participants to assess breast cancer prevalence, finding that 2 out of 3 positive screening cases had breast cancer, resulting in a very low prevalence rate of 0.0009 (98 per 100,000).
- - The research highlights the need for greater awareness, early detection, and improved healthcare access in rural areas, emphasizing that challenges like limited resources and delayed diagnoses should be addressed with better screening and healthcare
