Mapping the stability of febrile illness hotspots in Punjab from 2012 to 2019- a spatial clustering and regression analysis.

Introduction: Febrile illnesses (FI) represent a typical spectrum of diseases in low-resource settings, either in isolation or with other common symptoms. They contribute substantially to morbidity and mortality in India. The primary objective was to study the burden of FI based on Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) data in Punjab, analyze geospatial and temporal trends and patterns, and identify the potential hotspots for effective intervention.

A retrospective examination of pain in acute stroke at hospital discharge.

Objectives: Pain is an overlooked sequela of stroke. Persistent pain after stroke is an underrecognized experience and significantly impacts survivors' function, ability to participate in rehabilitation, and quality of life. The aim of this retrospective, observational study is to examine the incidence of pain at the acute hospitalization period immediately after stroke, to identify the characteristics of those reporting pain at discharge, and to compare pain reporting between stroke and non-stroke hospital controls.

What Is Known On The Subject: Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide that negatively impacts quality of life. Talk therapy such as cognitive behavioural therapy is an effective treatment for depression. The Internet is an important tool for mental healthcare delivery.

A combination of follicular and plexiform ameloblastoma: A rare case report.

Ameloblastoma is a benign but locally aggressive neoplasm of odontogenic epithelium origin. Follicular type is the most common variant of ameloblastoma followed by plexiform, acanthomatous, and granular subtypes. Synchronized existence of plexiform ameloblastoma with follicular ameloblastoma is a rare event.

Sex, race, ADHD, and prior concussions as predictors of concussion recovery in adolescents.

Objective: Concussions in adolescents are a growing public health concern as the popularity of high school sports increases. The aim of this study was to identify clinical (e.g.

Clinical and demographic predictors of concussion resolution in adolescents: A retrospective study.

Concussions in adolescents are a growing public health concern. The aim of this study was to identify clinical (e.g.

Cytokeratin-20 immunocytochemistry in voided urine cytology and its comparison with nuclear matrix protein-22 and urine cytology in the detection of urothelial carcinoma.

This study was done on 59 subjects (42 urinary bladder carcinoma patients and 17 non-neoplastic controls). Urine cytology and bladder chek NMP22 test was done on all cases. CK20 immunostaining was performed on archived papanicolaou stained urine cytology smears in 34 cases (27 bladder carcinoma and 7 negative controls).

Diagnostic usefulness of fragments of crushed cells in autoimmune thyroiditis.

Fine-needle aspiration cytology has emerged as an important diagnostic tool in cases of autoimmune thyroiditis. However, the patchy nature of this disease and its coexistence with other thyroid pathologies, with only subtle demonstrable cytologic features in many cases can lead to misdiagnosis. Of 313 thyroid aspirates, 62 were diagnosed as autoimmune thyroiditis.

Usefulness of NMP22 as an adjunct to a typical urine cytology and low-grade urothelial carcinoma.

The usefulness of urine cytology combined with NMP22 was evaluated for the primary diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma. Of 53 clinically suspected patients, histopathological diagnoses were low-grade urothelial carcinoma (25), high-grade urothelial carcinoma (13), and inflammatory lesions (15). Cytology was positive in 25 and negative in 14 patients.

Cytomorphological diagnosis of tendinous xanthomatosis: a case report.

Xanthoma is a reactive histiocytic proliferation in response to altered lipid levels. These develop usually in skin and subcutis but may also develop in deep soft tissue as tendon sheath or synovium. We report a rare case of tendinous xanthomatosis in a 23-year-old female, diagnosed on aspiration cytology.

Pleural mesothelioma: an unusual case diagnosed on pleural fluid cytology and immunocytochemistry.

Mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm with relationship to occupational and environmental exposure to asbestos. Its accurate and early diagnosis is often difficult. We present an unusual clinical presentation and diagnostic dilemma in a 30-year-male, who presented with neck pain and diffuse edema of left upper limb.

Cartilaginous metaplasia in uterine leiomyoma.

Introduction: Leiomyoma is the most common tumor in the uterus. A spectrum of histologic variants have been noted, however, metaplasia in the leiomyoma is a rare phenomenon. Adipose metaplasia being most commonly reported.

Koilocytosis: correlations with high-risk HPV and its comparison on tissue sections and cytology, urothelial carcinoma.

The aim of this study were (1) To correlate koilocytosis with high risk HPV(HrHPV) DNA in urinary bladder carcinoma and (2) To compare detection of koilocytosis on tissue sections and urine cytology. Biopsy and cytologic specimens from 33 patients of urinary bladder carcinoma were analyzed. HPV DNA was detected by PCR on biopsy specimens using consensus primers MY09 and MY11.

Bilateral anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy in Takayasu arteritis.

This report describes a case of a young male with bilateral, asymmetrical AION. He was subsequently diagnosed with Takayasu's disease.
