Tachycardia origin prediction using point of care ultrasound (TOP-UP) - A novel technique.

Narrow complex tachycardia (NCT) is often due to supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). SVT with aberrancy, preexcitation, paced rhythm, rate-dependent bundle branch block, preexisting conduction defects or SVT due to drugs, and electrolyte abnormality can also be wide complex. Wide-complex tachycardia (WCT) is often ventricular tachycardia (VT), but fascicular VT (fVT) can present as NCT.

Hyperglycemia and steroid use increase the risk of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis regardless of COVID-19 hospitalization: Case-control study, India.

Background: In the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, an increased incidence of ROCM was noted in India among those infected with COVID. We determined risk factors for rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) post Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) among those never and ever hospitalized for COVID-19 separately through a multicentric, hospital-based, unmatched case-control study across India.

Methods: We defined cases and controls as those with and without post-COVID ROCM, respectively.

Defective barcode sign - A newer sonographic sign in hydropneumothorax.

Effusive pneumothorax can be hemopneumothorax, pyopneumothorax, or hydropneumothorax depending on the type of fluid compartment within the pleural cavity. Hydropneumothorax is the abnormal collection of air and serous fluid within the pleural cavity. Here, we report a case of a 34-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with cough and breathlessness.

Isolation of from a case of exudative pharyngitis, a close mimicker of .

is a recently described coryneform bacteria. It is only rarely identified from clinical specimens and its pathogenic significance has not been well studied. Here we report the isolation of the species from the throat swab of a patient with suspected diphtheria.

The First Case Series Report of Tuber Poisoning in Humans.

Unlabelled: is a genus belonging to the family, native to southern Asia and Australia. In folk medicine, is used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antidiarrheal, and wound-healing properties. We report a toxidrome of airway compromise due to tuber ingestion.

Comparison of 10-mg and 5-mg warfarin initiation nomograms in a South Indian population - An open label trial.

Introduction: Early achievement of therapeutic INR leads to shorter hospital stay and lesser cost. Two warfarin initiation nomograms (10 mg nomogram and 5 mg nomogram) are widely used but it is not yet clear which one is better. They have been validated in the West but there are no studies from India.
