Coinfection of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Aspergillus in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease post cardiac arrest: a case report.

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a lung condition characterized by chronic respiratory symptoms (breathlessness, cough, and expectoration). In the advanced stages, patients often report to the Accident & Emergency department due to worsening of symptoms. Because of the repeated exposure to corticosteroids during the management of exacerbations, these patients are susceptible to super additional infections.

Battlefield injuries result in acute and severe uncontrolled pain, which can be reduced with the early use of analgesia. Apart from pain, battlefield injuries may also cause significant morbidity and a prolonged period of absence from active duty. Traditionally available opioids are known to cause various undesirable side effects such as respiratory depression that may worsen the condition of an already injured combatant.

Severity and mortality prediction models to triage Indian COVID-19 patients.

As the second wave in India mitigates, COVID-19 has now infected about 29 million patients countrywide, leading to more than 350 thousand people dead. As the infections surged, the strain on the medical infrastructure in the country became apparent. While the country vaccinates its population, opening up the economy may lead to an increase in infection rates.

Detrimental effect of diabetes and hypertension on the severity and mortality of COVID-19 infection: A multi-center case-control study from India.

Aims: This study aims to find a quantitative association between the presence of co-existing diabetes mellitus (DM) and/or hypertension (HTN) with COVID-19 infection severity and mortality.

Methods: A total of 813 patients with a positive COVID-19 were included. A case-control design was used to dissect the association between DM and HTN with COVID-19 severity and mortality.
