Health-related quality of life is rapidly becoming recognized as an important indicator of how a disease affects patient lives and for evaluating the quality of care, especially for chronic conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study is an attempt to assess the quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease at MMIMSR and also identify characteristics that may be associated with their worsening quality of life. This cross-sectional investigation was conducted at the in-patient department (IPD) of the MMIMSR hospital.

- The study looks at how heart doctors (cardiologists) and cancer doctors (oncologists) can work together better to help patients.

However, there is a paucity of data on "atypical" IEDs, namely, positive sharp waves (PSWs), focal triphasic sharp waves and spikes (FTSWs), sharp slow waves (SSWs), bifid spikes, and "notched" delta. In this present study, we sought to address the pathophysiology, characteristics, and diagnostic significance of "atypical" IEDs in clinical neuroscience.
