Objectives: Propofol has virtually replaced other agents for induction of anesthesia in the ambulatory setting because of its favorable recovery profile. Psycho-mimetic effects, common after use of ketamine, are not so well known for propofol. We present two case reports where patients had two spectrum of abnormal psychological outbreaks after propofol anesthesia.
Case Reports: Two healthy young patients were scheduled for short day care procedures under general anesthesia. In both cases anesthesia was induced with propofol plus fentanyl and maintained with inhalational anesthetic agents. After uneventful completion of surgery, both patients were transferred to recovery room where they manifested unusual psycho-mimetic reactions. The first patient had emotional outburst in the form of crying and the other had violent reaction requiring haloperidol for control.
Conclusion: Psycho-mimetic reactions can occur after anesthesia using propofol in the short duration day care procedures, in patients with or without preexisting psychiatric problems, needing antipsychotic medications for control.

Introduction: Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), enhancing survival and quality of life. However, kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) are at high risk for bone disorders, particularly low bone turnover disease, which increases fracture risk. Teriparatide, an anabolic agent, may provide a beneficial treatment option for these patients.

Purpose: Globally, trauma is a leading cause of death in young adults. The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the trauma population remains controversial due to the limited published research. This study aimed to analyze 30-day survival of all the trauma ECMO patients at our center, with respect to injury severity score (ISS) and new injury severity score (NISS).

Background: The avoidable causes of infant mortality should be identified, and interventions should be made to improve the infant mortality rate. The cause of infant deaths should be assessed in both medical and social contexts.
Objectives: We aimed to determine the medical causes of infant mortality by verbal autopsy and its determinants in two rural blocks of the Khordha district of Odisha and assess the pathway of care and delay in seeking care for the illness preceding infant death using the three-delay model.
