The Study of Correlation between Symptoms of Gastritis and Endoscopic Biopsy.

Background: Gastritis is a very common disorder that is widely distributed worldwide, representing one of the most prevalent pathological entities in gastroenterology and digestive endoscopy. This study aims to analyse the correlation between the endoscopic findings and the symptoms of gastritis. Upper gastro-intestinal (UGI) endoscopy is a widely used investigation for a variety of UGI symptoms namely dysphagia, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, etc.

Imaging spectrum, associations and outcomes in acute invasive fungal rhino-ocular-cerebral sinusitis in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been speculated to enhance mucormycosis infection due to its immune-altering pathophysiology. Early identification of high-morbidity conditions is crucial for optimal treatment and improved outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 63 patients with clinical and microbiological evidence of rhino-ocular-cerebral mucormycosis, who had a history of COVID-19 infection.

Upper cervical spinal bronchogenic cyst: A rare lesion at an exceptional location.

An intraspinal bronchogenic cyst is a rare but important cause of compressive cord myelopathy, commonly seen in the cervicothoracic spine. We report a case of a 30-year-old female, presented with complaints of neck pain and progressive weakness of the extremities. The magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine revealed an intradural extramedullary, well-defined, multiloculated, cystic lesion in the upper cervical canal extending from the C2 to C5 vertebral levels.

meningoencephalitis in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus infection: Normal cerebrospinal fluid does not mean absence of meningitis.

A male with human immunodeficiency virus infection presented with febrile encephalopathy followed by seizures and left hemiparesis. Initial imaging with contrast computerized tomography (CT) scan brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination were normal. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging brain revealed bilateral parieto-occipital infarcts with bleed.

Blood culture isolates in neonatal sepsis and their sensitivity in Anand District of India.

Objectives: To study prevalent organisms in neonatal sepsis, their sensitivity to antibiotics and outcome in neonates with culture proven sepsis.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of hospital records of 4 y. From 276 culture positive reports of 226 newborns, organisms, their sensitivity to different antibiotics were studied and their outcome was compared to 571 culture negative newborns.
