Solitary fibrous tumor of the Pelvic cavity: A rare entity with review of literature.

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) arising from adult mesenchymal stem cells is an uncommon vascular tumor of pelvic cavity. While initially thought to be confined to the pleura, pericardium, or peritoneum, recent studies have revealed that SFTs can develop in different areas of the body. Typically, SFTs grow slowly and may not present noticeable symptoms.

High Flow Nasal Cannula Versus Conventional Oxygen Therapy and Incidence of Post-Extubation Airway Obstruction in PICU: An Open-Label Randomized Controlled Trial (HiFloCOT-PICU Trial).

Objectives: To study the impact of high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) vs. conventional oxygen therapy (COT) (by simple nasal cannula) as respiratory support after extubation on the rates of post-extubation airway obstruction (PEAO) among mechanically ventilated critically ill children.

Methods: This open-label randomized controlled trial was conducted in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of a tertiary care teaching hospital in North India over a period of 7 mo (11 August 2021 to 10 March 2022).

Distribution of MecA and Erm Genes among Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus with Inducible Resistance to Clindamycin.

Background: The emergence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and its ability to confer cross-resistance to macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B has complicated the treatment against it. Gene-based studies among phenotypic methicillin-resistant isolates with inducible resistance to clindamycin are less available in Nepal. This work was undertaken to detect the mecA and erm genes among such phenotypes isolated from clinical samples.

Recurrent Guillain-Barré Syndrome: Clinical Profile and Outcome.

Objectives: To compare clinical, neurological, treatment and outcome of recurrent Guillian-Barré Syndrome (GBS) with non-recurrent GBS. Also, to compare different episodes of recurrent GBS.

Methods: The patient's case records were retrieved retrospectively from the electronic database and case record files.

Renal Hydatid Cyst in a Child Managed with Albendazole.

Primary Renal hydatid cyst is a rare entity. We report a case of isolated right renal hydatid cyst in a 13-year-old female who presented with pain in the right lumbar region for 4-5 months and a palpable mass in the right upper quadrant. The radiological features were suggestive of a hydatid cyst in the right kidney with no cyst in the liver, lungs, or left kidney.

Severe dengue associated with Staphylococcus aureus sepsis in pediatric patients: a case series.

Background: Staphylococcus aureus co-infection is seldom reported in children with severe dengue.

Methodology: In this retrospective study, we reported five children with severe dengue and S. aureus co-infection admitted to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) during July-December 2021.

Antibiotic Resistance, Biofilm Formation and Sub-Inhibitory Hydrogen Peroxide Stimulation in Uropathogenic .

Uropathogenic (UPEC) is the most prevalent cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs). Biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance could be high among the causative agent. The purpose of this study was to determine antibiotic resistance, biofilm production, and biofilm-associated genes, and , and sub-inhibitory hydrogen peroxide (HO) stimulation in UPEC for biofilm formation.

Clinical Features, Intensive Care Needs, and Outcome of Carbamazepine Poisoning in Children.

Carbamazepine is commonly used antiseizure medication with a narrow therapeutic range. The data on carbamazepine poisoning in children from India is limited. In this retrospective study, the authors reported 10 children with carbamazepine poisoning admitted to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of a tertiary care teaching hospital in North India over a period of 8 y (2013 to 2020).

Oral Application of Colostrum and Mother's Own Milk in Preterm Infants-A Randomized, Controlled Trial.

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of oral application of mother's own milk (OMOM) on clinical outcomes in preterm infants of 26-30 wk gestation.

Methods: In this placebo-controlled randomized trial, subjects received either OMOM or sterile water, beginning at 24-72 h of life, until the infant reached 32 wk postmenstrual age or spoon-feeds were initiated, whichever was earlier. The primary outcome was a composite adverse health outcome, defined as the occurrence of either mortality, late-onset sepsis (LOS), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), or retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

Subdural empyema due to Salmonella paratyphi B in an infant: a case report and review of literature.

Intracranial infection due to Salmonella is uncommon in children. Subdural empyema (SDE) is described with Salmonella typhi as a complication of meningitis. We report a 6-month-old infant with SDE secondary to Salmonella paratyphi B who had presented with prolonged fever and enlarging head.

Curcumin Downregulates Phosphate Carrier and Protects against Doxorubicin Induced Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis.

Aim. To explore the effects of curcumin on phosphate carrier (PiC) and its role in protection against doxorubicin induced myocyte toxicity. Methods.
