Aim: To study the determinants of Tuberculosis (TB) in children between the age group of 0-14 years receiving treatment under Revised National TB Control Programme (RNTCP).
Methods: A case (registered under RNTCP) control study was undertaken with 41 cases and 82 controls.
Results: Factors found to have significance according to binary logistic regression were low-birth weight (LBW) [Odd's ratio = 3.56],Malnutrition [Odd's ratio = 3.96], Passive smoking [Odd's ratio=6.28] and exposure to fire-wood smoke [Odd's ratio = 6.91].
Conclusion: LBW, malnutrition, passive smoking and fire-wood smoke are the risk factors to be addressed to prevent pediatric TB.

Introduction: Older age is a well-established risk factor for withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WDLST) and discharge to hospice (DH) in traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, a paucity of data exists in identifying factors associated with end-of-life (EoL) care in younger patients with TBI. We sought to identify hospital and patient factors associated with EoL care and timing of EoL care in younger adults with severe TBI.

Article Synopsis
- Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) aims to alleviate pain and disability in patients with knee arthritis, but some experience persistent postoperative pain (PPP) even after surgery.
- A study assessed 242 patients for various factors, measuring pain using the WOMAC index before and after surgery, and found that 13.22% and 9.09% still had moderate-to-severe pain after 6 and 12 months, respectively.
- Key predictive factors for PPP included higher preoperative WOMAC scores, loosened prosthesis, and elevated anxiety and depression levels, highlighting the importance of psychological health in recovery outcomes.
