The Role of Artificial Intelligence-Powered Imaging in Cerebrovascular Accident Detection.

Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) often occur suddenly and abruptly, leaving patients with long-lasting disabilities that place a huge emotional and economic burden on everyone involved. CVAs result when emboli or thrombi travel to the brain and impede blood flow; the subsequent lack of oxygen supply leads to ischemia and eventually tissue infarction. The most important factor determining the prognosis of CVA patients is time, specifically the time from the onset of disease to treatment.

Factor Xa inhibitors vs. warfarin in patients with Hughes syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Spinal Rosai-Dorfman disease-a report of 2 cases and review of literature.

Introduction: Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) is a rare benign histiocytic disease that infrequently affects the spine. We report two cases of spinal RDD and review the relevant literature. This report addresses the various diagnostic dilemmas related to the evaluation of Spinal RDD and its treatment.

Recent trends in chronic pain medicine.

Chronic pain presents as an unequalled challenge for physicians, owing to the complexity of biochemical and biological pathways involved in pain transmission and high variability of pain perception among individuals. Often, there is an inadequate response to conservative treatment, and opioid treatment has its own drawbacks, such as side effects and opioid dependence. Hence, novel strategies have evolved for the effective and safe management of chronic pain.

Emotional and psychosexual well-being is influenced by ethnicity and birthplace in women and individuals with polycystic ovary syndrome in the UK and India.

Objective: To assess the association of ethnicity and birthplace on emotional and psychosexual well-being in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Setting: Community recruitment via social media campaigns.

Renal Function in Hypertensive Patients Receiving Cilnidipine and L-Type Calcium Channel Blockers: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled and Retrospective Studies.

Nearly 65%-95% of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have hypertension. Calcium-channel blockers are the first-line drugs for the treatment of hypertension, including hypertension with diabetes. This study aims to estimate the effect of an L-type calcium channel blocker (CCB), cilnidipine, on the renal function of hypertensive patients.

Effect of brushing on the color stability of nanohybrid composite after immersion in brewed beverages - an study.

Background And Aims: In today's world, everyone is mindful of one's appearance and appreciates aesthetics. Of the various restorative materials available, composites are considered as the most aesthetic with good color stability. This study aims at finding the effect of brushing on the color stability of nanohybrid composite after being immersed in various beverages.

Therapeutic Inertia in the Management of Psoriasis: A Quantitative Survey Among Indian Dermatologists and Patients.

Purpose: The primary objective of the study was to understand the therapeutic inertia in treatment and management of plaque psoriasis among dermatologists, along with determining the preferred treatment choices for management of plaque psoriasis; it also included the resulting treatment satisfaction among patients. The secondary objective was to identify the gaps in terms of knowledge and attitude among dermatologists and the expectations of patients.

Patients And Methods: A multicentre, cross-sectional quantitative survey was conducted among dermatologists and patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis across India.

Experience with bilastine in the management of urticaria: Original Real-world cases of Bilastine In Treatment (ORBIT) in Asia.

Urticaria is a disabling condition, resulting in an impaired quality of life and sleep disruption, and can have an adverse impact on work-related or school-related performance and attendance. It is defined according to the presence of unknown (chronic spontaneous urticaria) or known (inducible urticaria) eliciting factors. Guidelines recommend second-generation H-antihistamines for the first-line treatment of urticaria.

Trends in Acute Myocarditis Related Pediatric Hospitalizations in the United States, 2007-2016.

There has been little exploration of acute myocarditis trends in children despite notable advancements in care over the past decade. We explored trends in pediatric hospitalizations for acute myocarditis from 2007 to 2016 in the United States (US). This was a retrospective, serial cross-sectional study of the National Inpatient Sample database from 2007 to 2016, identifying patients ≤18 years hospitalized with acute myocarditis.

Hemodynamic Stability, Patient Acceptance and Cost of Intravenous Propofol and Inhalational Sevoflurane for Induction of Anaesthesia: A Prospective, Randomized Comparative Study.

Introduction The effects of an anesthetic agent on the hemodynamic stability are of prime importance in patients with compromised hemodynamics. Although comparative studies of sevoflurane and propofol are reported, most of these are aimed to assess maintenance and early postoperative recovery. There are very few studies on hemodynamic changes occurring with these two agents.

Multisystem Involvement of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis presents with involvement of skin, bone and lungs. We discuss this case of breast LCH who developed pulmonary cystic lesions leading to bilateral pneumothoraces. PET scan showed involvement of thyroid and marrow involvement.

Post Mortem Diagnosis of Blake's Pouch Cyst: A Presentation of Distended Cyst at Necropsy.

Background: Blake's pouch cyst forms from non-permeabilization of Blake's pouch. It is difficult to visualize at necropsy as the cyst ruptures easily into the 4th ventricle during dissection.

Case Report: Based upon prenatal imaging, delicate dissection allowed post-mortem confirmation of the Blake's pouch cyst.

Anorectal Malformation: Paediatric Problem Presenting in Adult.

This is a case report of 22-year-old girl admitted with abdominal distension, vomiting, and chronic constipation since birth. Abdomen was distended, and perineal examination revealed imperforate anus with vestibular fistula (ARM). So far worldwide very few cases have been reported about anorectal malformation presenting in adulthood, and thus extremely little data is available in the literature about an ideal management of anorectal malformation in adults.

Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Thyroid: A Rare Entity.

Primary squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) of thyroid is an extremely rare malignancy of thyroid. Herewith, we describe a case report of female patient who presented with neck swelling; FNAC misdiagnosed it as papillary carcinoma of thyroid but, after resection, biopsy revealed it to be a case of squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid. After extensive investigations no possible primary focus of squamous cell carcinoma was found elsewhere, so diagnosis of primary squamous cell carcinoma of thyroid was made.
