Association between bronchial asthma and TSLP gene polymorphism: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aims: This study entails an association between bronchial asthma and common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) gene; rs2289278, rs3806933, rs2289276, and rs1837253.

Methods: The databases of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched for studies reporting TSLP polymorphisms and asthma from inception to January 2022. Hardy-Weinberg equilibriums (HWE) for each polymorphism of the control group were checked using the test.

Key Clinical Message: Dengue fever can also have various neurological complications but involvement of the spinal cord is often unusual. This is a case where the patient had transverse myelitis as a complication of dengue fever.

Abstract: Dengue fever can have various neurological complications but involvement of the spinal cord is often unusual.

Virtual and augmented reality in cardiovascular care in low and middle income country.

The global health sector has witnessed an escalating integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, particularly in high-income countries. The application of these cutting-edge technologies is gradually extending to Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), notably in the domain of cardiovascular care. AR and VR technologies are revolutionizing cardiovascular care by offering solutions for diagnosis, medical training, and surgical planning.

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis following the COVID-19 Vaccine Sinopharm in low- and middle-income country: a case report.

Introduction And Importance: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and various vaccines against it have been developed. Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a disease of the central nervous system that cause inflammation and demyelination and manifests as a multi-symptom acute neurological condition. Although infections are usually the cause of ADEM, vaccines may cause 5-10% of cases.

Disseminated cysticercosis with tongue involvement: a rare case report from Nepal.

Introduction And Importance: Cysticercosis is a condition in which humans are infected by the larval form of the pork tapeworm . Cysticercosis in humans is common in the cerebral tissue but rare in the tongue.

Case Presentation: Here, the authors report a rare case of a 38-year-old male with neurocysticercosis and cysticercosis of the tongue.

Navigating the Role of Smartwatches in Cardiac Fitness Monitoring: Insights From Physicians and the Evolving Landscape.

Alongside the advancement of technology, wearable devices like smartwatches have widely been used for monitoring heartbeat, SpO2, EKG, and pacemaker activity. However, the global question is- can they be as effective as our standard diagnostic tests- electrocardiogram and echocardiography? Reported in the studies, smartwatches to the gold standard Holter monitoring for recognizing irregular pulse showed good sensitivity (98.2%), specificity (98.

Pressure sore at an unusual site: the bilateral knee - a case report.

Unlabelled: A pressure ulcer is a skin and soft tissue injury that commonly occur on bony prominences like the ischium, sacrum, heel, malleolus, and occiput but the knee is not the usual site for pressure ulcers. Here, the authors present a case of a pressure ulcer over an unusual site, the knee.

Case Presentation: The authors reported a case of a 66-year-old male, last seen 5 days ago by his son, who was found on the floor (with the knee on the ground) and was brought to the hospital.

Experiencing Dengue as a Medical Student.

Unlabelled: Dengue is a disease which spreads by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito. Reading about a disease in a textbook and experiencing it as a patient is a completely different thing. This article highlights the feeling of a medical student as a patient.

Versatile Use of Nanosponge in the Pharmaceutical Arena: A Mini-Review.

Drug delivery for a long time has been a major problem in the pharmaceutical field. The development of a new Nano-carrier system called nanosponge has shown the potential to solve the problem. Nanosponge has a porous structure and can entrap the drug in it.

A Comprehensive Review on Nanotechnology-Based Innovations in Topical Drug Delivery for the Treatment of Skin Cancer.

Background: Skin is the largest organ of the body and helps to regulate several physiological functions. It acts as a barrier that protects the body against UV-radiation, toxic substances, infections, etc. The abnormal growth of the skin cells is called skin cancer.
