Article Synopsis
- Leprosy primarily affects peripheral nerves, but this review focuses on the less-studied cranial nerve involvement, examining its patterns and implications for treatment.
- A systematic review identified 49 patients with cranial nerve issues, finding significant involvement of the trigeminal (28.6%) and facial nerves (38.8%), and noting that about 30% experienced lepra reactions.
- Neuroimaging showed changes in the nerves, particularly enhancements and hyperintensities, and most patients improved with multi-drug therapy (MDT), eliminating neuroimaging abnormalities.
Introduction: The role and function of P-selectin levels in various inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases have been established. Whether they have an association with inflammatory skin diseases such as vitiligo and psoriasis needs to be established.
Objective: The objective of this study was to assess P-selectin levels in psoriasis and vitiligo and to compare them with matched controls without skin disease.
Context: Economic burden imposed by sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is substantial in low-middle-income countries like India, in spite of the fact that national programs for controlling STIs are operational.
Aims: The aim of this study was to estimate the out-of-pocket expenses and catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) incurred by patients of STIs and analyze expenditure pattern in relation to various clinical and sociodemographic characteristics.
Settings And Design: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study among patients attending Suraksha Clinic.
