Clinical Profile, Etiology, and Outcomes of Patients With Eosinophilia: A Prospective Study From Western India.

This study investigated the clinical profile, etiology, and outcomes of eosinophilia in hospitalized patients. A total of 96 patients were included, with a mean eosinophil count of 3347.66 ± 1517.

Clinical Profile and Adverse Effects of Dolutegravir Treatment in HIV-Positive Patients: A Prospective Observational Study.

Background The emergence of dolutegravir (DTG) within antiretroviral therapy (ART) has drastically improved the management of HIV/AIDS, marking a shift toward a chronic manageable condition. Nevertheless, concerns persist regarding the real-world tolerability and adverse effects (AEs) of DTG. Objective This study aims to explore the clinical characteristics, adverse reactions, and adherence to treatment with DTG among HIV-positive individuals.

Iron Deficiency: A Silent Threat in Patients With Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction.

Background Iron deficiency is a prevalent and clinically significant comorbidity in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Despite its high prevalence, its impact on clinical outcomes, mortality, and various physiological parameters remains a subject of ongoing investigation. The findings of this study are anticipated to contribute valuable insights into the management and prognosis of patients with HFrEF, potentially informing future interventions and improving patient outcomes.

Validity of the Adapted Waterlow Score as a Tool in Predicting Adverse Outcomes in Acute Pancreatitis When Compared With the Ranson Score and Serum CRP Levels.

Introduction Acute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the most common emergency room presentations, with an annual worldwide incidence of 150-420 cases per million and a 30-50% mortality rate. Unfortunately, predicting prognosis in AP patients at an early admission phase is difficult. The Waterlow score is a semi-quantitative composite score devised to stratify the risk of developing pressure sores in in-patient settings.

Study of the Role of Plasma NT-proBNP in the Diagnosis of Heart Failure.

Background: The diagnosis of heart failure (HF) remains essentially clinical-Based. However, the history, physical examination, and chest radiograph findings are often inadequate in the diagnosis because multiple other conditions that affect the cardiopulmonary system mimic the symptoms of HF. N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) has long been used for diagnosing HF.

Validation of prognostic scoring systems for predicting 30-day mortality in perforated peptic ulcer disease.

Objectives: Perforations in Peptic Ulcer Disease are known to cause considerable morbidity and mortality. The objective of this study was to compare efficacy of known clinical parameters and three existing scoring systems in predicting 30-day mortality and determining mortality risk stratification based on risk factors.

Material And Methods: This was a prospective observational study of 190 patients operated for perforated peptic ulcer over a period of 14 months at a 1500 bed tertiary care university hospital in Western India.
