Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an acute respiratory condition caused by various pulmonary and extrapulmonary conditions including H1N1 virus infection. ARDS has a high mortality worldwide and in India various studies suggest that mortality in children is as high as 73-75%. Different lung protective ventilation strategies have recently been adopted to reduce mortality. The authors report a successful outcome in a 3.5-year-old child with ARDS secondary to H1N1 infection following use of a very low tidal volume (4-6 ml/kg) along with high positive end-expiratory pressure breathing and prone ventilation. As far as we are aware, this is the first case report of a successful outcome in a child with ARDS secondary to H1N1 in India.

Adapting self-measured blood pressure monitoring to reduce health disparities (ASPIRE): a pilot hybrid effectiveness‑implementation study protocol.

Background: Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite advances in blood pressure management, significant racial and ethnic disparities persist, resulting in higher risks of stroke, heart disease, and mortality among non-White populations. Self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) monitoring, also known as home blood pressure monitoring, has shown promise in improving blood pressure control, especially when combined with feedback from healthcare providers.

Background: Hospital at home (HaH) care models have gained significant attention due to their potential to reduce healthcare costs, improve patient satisfaction, and lower readmission rates. However, the lack of a standardized classification system has hindered systematic evaluation and comparison of these models. Taxonomies serve as classification systems that simplify complexity and enhance understanding within a specific domain.

Background: Bicruciate-retaining (BCR) prostheses have been introduced to recreate normal knee movements by preserving both the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. One of the surgical procedures essential to the success of BCR total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is preservation of the tibial eminence. However, in our clinical experience, we found that a well-preserved tibial eminence changed its shape chronologically after the operation.

Background: Self-Directed Learning (SDL) is a theory of andragogy in which adult learners take their own initiative to identify and tailor their individual learning process and outcomes. In undergraduate medical education, SDL aims to develop medical students into lifelong learners. This study aims to estimate the overall effectiveness of self-directed learning compared to traditional didactic learning (TDL).

Background: Posterolateral tibial plateau fractures pose significant challenges for orthopedic surgeons due to the anatomical risks associated with the posterolateral approach. Despite numerous surgical techniques available, there lacks a consensus on the optimal approach.
Methods: Articular line incision approach was employed on 12 patients suffering from posterolateral tibial plateau fractures.
