Assessment of GCS and FOUR Score as Prognostic Indicators for Hospital Stay and Morbidity in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients: An Observational Study.

Aim: The objective of the present research was to evaluate variations in hospital stay as well as morbidity based on the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Full Outline of Un-Responsive (FOUR) scores for patients who had traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Materials And Methods: A total of 107 patients with TBI patients who attended the emergency department of MES Medical College, Perinthalmanna, were enrolled into the study. FOUR and GCS scoring systems were used to assess the patients within 24 hours of the presentation to the emergency department.

Evaluating GCS and FOUR Score in Predicting Mortality of Traumatic Brain Injury Patients (TBI): A Prospective Study in a Tertiary Hospital of South Malabar.

Objective: This study evaluated the full outline of Unresponsiveness (FOUR) score and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) to predict traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcomes.

Methods: Among 107 patients, FOUR and GCS grading systems analyzed emergency department patients within 24 hours. FOUR and GCS were assessed simultaneously.

Understanding the linkages between spatio-temporal urban land system changes and land surface temperature in Srinagar City, India, using image archives from Google Earth Engine.

Land-use and land-cover (LULC) is an important component for sustainable natural resource management, and there are considerable impacts of the rapid anthropogenic LULC changes on environment, ecosystem services, and land surface processes. One of the significant adverse implications of the rapidly changing urban LULC is the increase in the Land Surface Temperature (LST) resulting in the urban heat island effect. In this study, we used a time series of Landsat satellite images from 1992 to 2020 in the Srinagar city of the Kashmir valley, North-western Himalaya, India to understand the linkages between LULC dynamics and LST, derived from the archived images using the Google Earth Engine (GEE).

Rib spur causing a hemothorax, pneumothorax, and diaphragmatic injury in a pediatric patient.

Pleural effusion is a relatively common condition encountered in the pediatric emergency department. Evaluation of pleural effusion in the emergency department typically includes advanced imaging such as computer tomography or ultrasound, as well as diagnostic thoracocentesis. We report a case of a 10-year-old female with a rib spur at the anterolateral left sixth rib that caused a hemothorax, pneumothorax, and diaphragmatic injury.

Posterior Aneurysmorrhaphy & Lateralization Of Aneurysmal Fistula Vein: A Modification Of Existing Aneurysmectomy Techniques.

Background: To present a new modification of aneurysmectomy technique for the management of aneurysmal fistula vein. This cross-sectional study was carried out at Vascular Surgery department, Combined Military Hospital Rawalpindi from 1st October 2014 to 30th December 2018.

Methods: This modified aneurysmectomy procedure was performed in 20 patients.

Breast cancer in Andaman and Nicobar Islands: A retrospective analysis.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in India among women. This study was conducted to describe the demographic, clinical, histopathological, endocrinological and survival pattern of breast cancer patients in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

Methods: The study was done in Medical Oncology department of GB pant hospital.

Ten year experience of pediatric kidney biopsies from a single center in Pakistan.

There are many established registries of kidney biopsies around the world. In addition, there are several reports available in literature from many countries on pediatric kidney biopsy. This study was done to determine the indications and pathological patterns of kidney biopsies of children referred to our hospital, and compare our data with the data available from other countries.

Breast cancer with associated granulomatous axillary lymphadenitis: a diagnostic and clinical dilemma in regions with high prevalence of tuberculosis.

Intratumoral granulomas and granulomas in lymph nodes draining breast carcinomas have been reported previously. However, in regions like Pakistan, where the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) is high, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between TB and a non-specific granulomatous response especially if there is an association with focal necrosis. We present a series of cases of invasive breast carcinoma with an associated granulomatous reaction in lymph nodes with or without necrosis, which were further analyzed for a possible coexisting tuberculosis using special stains and PCR-based assays for the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Isolation, characterization and kinetics of goat cystatins.

Two cysteine proteinase inhibitors I and II were purified from goat kidney using alkaline denaturation, ammonium sulphate fractionation, gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 and ion exchange chromatography on DEAE cellulose. The purified inhibitors were homogenous and showed a single band on SDS PAGE under reducing and non-reducing conditions with an apparent molecular mass of 67 kDa. The cystatin forms were stable in the range of pH 3-10 and up to 95 degrees C.
