Fibrinolysis and clinical outcomes in acute pulmonary embolism. Madras medical college pulmonary embolism (M-PER) registry from India.

Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is the third most common cause of vascular death. Data on APE from India and other low-and middle-income countries is sparse.

Objectives: Study the clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, in-hospital mortality (IMH) and 12 months mortality of patients with APE in India.

White light-emitting ZnO:Dy nanophosphors: delving into the spectroscopic parameters Judd-Ofelt analysis.

Developing a single-phase white emitting nanophosphor with high quantum efficiency has become a hotspot for scientific world. Herein, single-phase white-light emitting ZnO:Dy nanophosphors have been synthesized a sonochemical method. X-ray diffraction analysis and Raman spectroscopy-based investigations confirmed the hexagonal wurtzite phase for ZnO:Dy nanophosphors with preferential growth along the (101) plane.

Abnormalities of Kidney Function in Acute Malarial and non-Malarial Infections.

Introduction: The tropical environment is endemic with malaria and non-malarial infections which are responsible for the high morbidity and mortality in these low- and middle-income countries. In particular, acute malarial infection can cause significant multi-organ dysfunction, including kidney involvement. Early detection of kidney dysfunction will help to improve the quality of care and reduce associated morbidity and mortality.

Pelvic stability during simulated total hip arthroplasty motions: Comparing different hip positioners.

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) requires forceful maneuvers that can cause the pelvis to shift from its original position. Various methods for stabilizing the pelvis in the lateral decubitus position exist, but there is limited data quantifying the relative stability of each hip positioner. We sought to quantify the pelvic movement that occurred in four commercially available hip positioners during surgeon induced motion of the hip.
