Clinical Presentation, Anti-microbial Resistance, and Outcome of Salmonella typhimurium Causing Urinary Tract Infections: A Report of Two Cases.

Non-typhoidal causing urinary tract infections is uncommon.Their presence in urine is usually suggestive of genitourinary abnormalities, immunosuppression, andother comorbid conditions. The first patient is an 18-year-old female who presented to the Emergency Department with abdominal pain and burning micturition.

The Effectiveness of the Pitstop Method of Teaching Among Phase II Medical Students.

Background and objectives The pitstop method of teaching involves short educational videos that entail a stepwise approach to augment knowledge retention and understanding. Short videos stimulate both visual and auditory pathways, thereby improving learner's experiences, knowledge retention, and understanding of the concept, which will help with long-term memory. In this study, we aimed to compare the pitstop method of teaching with the didactic lecture technique based on assessment and feedback.

Electrophysiologic characteristics and clinical correlation of right ventricular activation during left bundle branch area pacing (RV-LBBAP study).

Background: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) results in a right bundle branch (RBB) delay pattern because of preexcitation of the left bundle. The mechanism of right ventricular (RV) activation during LBBAP is largely unknown.

Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze the electrophysiologic characteristics of RV activation by mapping the RBB during LBBAP and its clinical correlation.

Characterization of Chlorhexidine Resistance Among Clinical Isolates of Coagulase-Negative Staphylococcus Species in a Tertiary Care Center, Chennai.

Background Coagulase-negative (CoNS) are potential pathogens and are often associated with healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Chlorhexidine (CHX) is the most widely used antiseptic to reduce colonization and infection by all , including CoNS. Resistance to CHX among CoNS has been observed over the past few years, consequent to its widespread use.

New-Onset Left Ventricular Dysfunction After Left Bundle Branch Pacing.

Background: Left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) provides stable pacing parameters and has been suggested as an alternative for right ventricular pacing and cardiac resynchronization therapy.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the incidence and etiology of new-onset left ventricular dysfunction (NOLVD) following LBBP in patients with baseline normal left ventricular (LV) function and cardiomyopathy patients with normalized LV function.

Methods: Patients undergoing successful LBBP for symptomatic bradyarrhythmia or as an alternative to cardiac resynchronization therapy were included.
