Article Synopsis
  • Home time, or the duration patients with cardiovascular disease spend alive outside of healthcare institutions, is an essential aspect of recovery, particularly for heart failure (HF) patients, yet insufficiently studied in India where HF rates are increasing.
  • Current literature falls short in identifying hospital-level trends and predictors of home time, which complicates the development of personalized care strategies to enhance health outcomes, functional status, and reduce hospitalization risks.
  • While guideline-directed medical therapy, especially sacubitril/valsartan (an angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor), is well-supported for improving life quality and reducing HF-related hospitalizations, its use remains low, indicating a critical need for better integration into clinical practice to improve patient recovery and home time post

In heart failure, sympathetic overdrive is evidenced by norepinephrine spillover, receptor level changes, etc. Beta-blockers continue to be the cornerstone of treatment in patients with chronic heart failure due to their ability to counteract sympathetic overdrive. Extensive clinical research has demonstrated that long-term beta-blocker treatment with metoprolol succinate, carvedilol, or bisoprolol enhances left ventricular function and reverses left ventricular remodeling, decreases hospitalization risk, and increases survival.

Background: Reconstruction of maxillofacial defects is challenging due to the region's complex anatomy. During the COVID-19 era, many patients lost their maxilla and chewing efficiency as a result of Mucormycosis. In such cases, custom-designed implants offer a graftless solution for seemingly hopeless situations.

Aim: The aim of this technique is to institute "Augmented Reality Tool" in the field of maxillofacial prosthesis for an accurate and precise iris positioning in a prosthetic eye.

Background: A congenital defect, irreversible damage, a painful blind eye, sympathetic ophthalmia, or the requirement for histological confirmation of a suspected illness can all result in the absence or loss of an eye. In such circumstances, meticulous preoperative, surgical, and prosthetic planning using a multidisciplinary approach is imperative for successful rehabilitation.

Introduction: Among the most prevalent injuries among the elderly with trivial trauma are trochanteric fractures. Osteoporosis and female sex are additional risk factors. The patient's age, the fracture, their overall health, the amount of time between the fracture and treatment, the effectiveness of the treatment, any concurrent medical care, and the stability of the fixation all affect how well the patient responds to treatment.
