Revolutionizing Medical Microbiology: How Molecular and Genomic Approaches Are Changing Diagnostic Techniques.

Molecular and genomic approaches have revolutionized medical microbiology by offering faster and more accurate diagnostic techniques for infectious diseases. Traditional methods, which include culturing microbes and biochemical testing, are time-consuming and may not detect antibiotic-resistant strains. In contrast, molecular and genomic methods, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based techniques and whole-genome sequencing, provide rapid and precise detection of pathogens, early-stage diseases, and antibiotic-resistant strains.

A Case of Ruptured Left Interstitial Ectopic Pregnancy.

Although rare, interstitial ectopic pregnancy poses a challenge in diagnosis and management. The pregnancy is implanted in the interstitial part of the fallopian tube, i.e.

Critical analysis of American heart association and European society of cardiology guidelines for hypertension.

This study places more of an emphasis on the hypertensive guidelines that are recommended for the management of hypertension by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA), as well as the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and the European Society of Hypertension (ESH). This study examines the development of several different guidelines and focuses primarily on contrasting the similarities and differences that are given by American and European guidelines. Both sets of recommendations encourage the use of an optimal method for measuring blood pressure, such as the use of home blood pressure (BP) monitoring, or ambulatory monitoring, which a key recommendation is given by both sets of recommendations for the primary prevention of hypertension, and non-pharmacological treatment, such as modifying one's lifestyle, as the primary intervention.

Cardiac Dysautonomia, Decreased Baroreflex Sensitivity and Increased Myocardial Workload in Patients with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria: A Preliminary Report.

Background: Chronic stress, a potential risk factor for cardiac autonomic dysfunction and cardiovascular (CV) risk, is known to induce the onset and exacerbation of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), a psychodermatological disorder. However, data regarding CV risks due to the stress associated with CSU are very limited.

Aims And Objectives: This study aimed at comparing the cardiac sympathovagal balance (SVB), inflammatory markers, perceived stress and quality of sleep in patients with CSU (test group) and normal subjects (control group).

A Case of Twisted Ovarian Dermoid Cyst During Pregnancy.

Ovarian cysts are common during pregnancy as an outcome of routine prenatal ultrasounds. Although most cases are benign, complications, such as torsion, rupture, and malignant changes, can occur. Torsion risk increases fivefold during pregnancy.

Endonasal Dacryocystorhinostomy: Results With or Without Stenting.

Introduction This is a comparative cross-sectional study done to compare the curative outcome of endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) done with and without a silicon stent in patients with chronic dacryocystitis due to nasolacrimal duct obstruction. Methods This study was carried out in central India, involving 60 patients who were diagnosed with chronic dacryocystitis and underwent endonasal DCR (with zero-degree and 45-degree endoscopes from Olympus, with an Olympus camera and monitor) between October 2021 and September 2022. All patients were over the age of 18, with major exclusion criteria of previous DCR and sinonasal disease.

Morphometric Study of Proximal End of the Fully Ossified Human Femur: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction The femur or thigh bone is the longest and strongest bone in the body. It provides skeletal support for the thigh. Weight-bearing and stability of gait are the essential functions of the femur.

Efficacy of Diclofenac Transdermal Patch in Therapeutic Extractions: A Literature Review.

Diclofenac sodium is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that effectively manages pain following therapeutic extractions. Post-extraction pain is commonly treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In addition to their high bioavailability and long duration of action, transdermal NSAIDS have several other advantages.

Human Papillomavirus Prevention by Vaccination: A Review Article.

Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. It is caused by infection due to human papillomavirus. There are some screening tests available for its detection.

Acute Cholelithiasis With Acute Pancreatic Calcifications: A Unique Presentation of Sickle Cell Crisis.

Sickle cell disease is one of the most prevalent hemoglobinopathies around the world. Sickle cell anemia manifests due to a genetic alteration caused by substituting a single nucleotide in place of another nucleotide in the beta-globin gene. This mutation causes rigidity and sickling of the erythrocytes when the oxygen saturation falls in conditions like infection, dehydration, stress, etc.

Pre-prosthetic Physiotherapy Rehabilitation in Post-operative Transtibial Amputation in a Patient With Congenital Talipes Equinovarus.

Amputation is more common in men than women, a lot of studies suggest this. It is the complete or partial removal of an extremity through a surgical process and is said to be a life-saving procedure performed in various critical conditions. The main objective of amputating a limb or any part at a level is that it should be carried out in a way that will give a stump of optimum length to facilitate the prosthetic fitting at later stages.

Early Physiotherapy as an Adjunct to Surgical Approach in Case of Chronic Tibial Osteomyelitis Treated with Sequestrectomy and an Ilizarov Ring Fixator in a 14-Year-Old Schoolgirl: A Case Report.

Osteomyelitis is an infectious disease of the bone and bone marrow caused by pyogenic organisms that may be acute or chronic. Early diagnosis and treatment prevent complications like limb deformity and limb length discrepancies. A 14-year-old girl presented to the orthopedic department with complaints of pain, fever, swelling, tenderness, and pus discharge across the right leg below the knee.

Vitiligo, a common depigmenting cutaneous condition, is thought to affect 0.5%-2% of the world's population. During this condition, melanocytes are selectively lost, resulting in non-scaly, chalky-white macules.

A Review on Effectiveness of Plasma Therapy in Severe COVID-19 Patients.

Coronavirus 2019 has created a big threat to the modern world. Many researchers and scientists had taken the burden of finding information about this entity, its structure, its transmission, and also about the treatment that can be given to individuals infected by it. There has been use of different medicines at different times simultaneously researching about them, starting with only symptomatic and supportive treatment, then antimalarial agents like chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, then going to favipavir, and other antivirals, then came the use of vaccines and also convalescent plasma therapy for COVID-19.
