Summary
The global health crisis triggered by the SARS-CoV-2 in 2019, known as the COVID-19 pandemic, prompted vaccination drives worldwide, including in India, to address the crisis. However, vaccine hesitancy remains a significant challenge to achieving vaccination goals. Hence, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis during 2021–2023 to estimate the prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among adults in India and identify associated factors. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed. Quality assessment was performed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. Pooled prevalence estimates were calculated using a random-effects model. A total of 265 articles were identified, of which 21 full-text articles were included in the review. The pooled estimated prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among adults in India was found to be 28% (95% confidence interval: 27–29). Subgroup analysis revealed variations in hesitancy rates across different states, with higher rates observed in Jammu and Kashmir (44%), West Bengal (49%), and Maharashtra (39%). Gender-based analysis indicated higher hesitancy among males (36%) compared to females (26%). Among different study populations, medical students showed the lowest hesitancy rate (13%), whereas the general population exhibited the highest (34%). The findings suggest that vaccine hesitancy remains a significant concern in India, with one in four adults expressing hesitancy toward COVID-19 vaccination. Hesitancy rates vary across states, genders, and study populations. Addressing the factors contributing to hesitancy, such as safety concerns, lack of evidence, and misinformation, is crucial to enhance vaccine acceptance.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:
Trismus is the restricted mouth opening (≤35 mm) in oral cancer patients that may occurred due to the limited stretching of facial muscles because of tumor growth. Trismus can significantly affect the uptake and chewing of food which in turn cause nutrition depletion in cancer patients, thus affecting their quality of life and survival outcomes.

Objectives:
The present study was aimed to analyze the role of pretreatment trismus as a predictor of survival outcomes, including long-term survival and disease-free survival in oral cancer patients.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 38 oral cancer patients with restricted mouth opening were enrolled in the study. The trismus was assessed before the surgery using digital vernier caliper. The patients were then follow-up for survival outcomes over the period of 5 years. The survival outcomes were then correlated with the pretreatment trismus.

Results:
Poor long-term and disease-free survivals were found to be significantly associated with the high-grade pretreatment trismus. Patients with high grades of pretreatment trismus experienced early treatment relapse and high mortality.

Conclusions:
Pretreatment trismus was found to be a potential predictor of disease-free survival and overall long-term survival in oral cancer patients. It is recommended that a treatment protocol that could reduce the trismus should be adopted to enhance the survival outcomes of oral cancer patients.
Secrets behind the Auricle: Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia
Authors: Arora Tanmay , Akami Kewecho , Jain Atul , Kapur Neeti 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) represents a rare benign vascular tumor characterized by distinctive endothelial proliferation accompanied by an eosinophilic infiltrate. This case study chronicles the clinical course of a 16-year-old male presenting with a persistent posterior auricular swelling first noted at 1 year of age. Despite initial diagnostic challenges and a misinterpretation via external fine-needle aspiration cytology suggesting a chronic inflammatory process, definitive diagnosis was achieved through excisional biopsy. Histopathological analysis revealed characteristic findings of ALHE, including lymphoid tissue interspersed with proliferating vessels lined by plump endothelial cells, and a prominent eosinophilic and occasional plasma cell presence. Differential diagnosis included conditions such as dermoid cysts, lipomas, and Kimura’s disease, highlighting the importance of precise histopathological assessment for accurate differentiation. Effective management typically involves complete surgical excision, underscoring the significance of meticulous diagnosis to guide appropriate therapeutic strategies and ensure favorable outcomes in managing such intriguing clinical presentations.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background and Aims:
Cesarean section is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in obstetrics. Various methods have been employed to assess postoperative pain. Surgical trauma causes acute phase response with neutrophilia and relative lymphopenia. Hence neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can be taken as an objective tool to measure acute pain. The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the relationship between postoperative NLR and pain, which was assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS).

Material and Methods:
A prospective observational study was conducted on 120 pregnant women aged between 18 to 38 years belonging to American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status II undergoing elective cesarean section under subarachnoid block, in a tertiary care hospital over 18 months. Postoperatively pain was assessed using VAS. Blood samples were sent and NLR was calculated preoperatively and postoperatively. Injection diclofenac and tramadol was administered for postoperative pain and total doses of respective drugs were noted. The correlation between NLR and VAS was assessed using Spearman’s rank correlation analysis.

Results:
The postoperative NLR was higher than the preoperative NLR. There was significant correlation between VAS score and NLR score at 12th, 24th and 48th h [(Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient), r = 0.462, P < 0.001; r = 0.519 P < 0.001; r = 0.455 P < 0.001]. The diclofenac requirement was significantly high at 24 h among the repeat cesarean section patients (P = 0.023).

Conclusion:
The postoperative NLR correlated significantly with VAS. NLR can be used as a surrogate marker for pain assessment.

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background and Aims:
The present study was planned to compare two devices, namely LMA Blockbuster and LMA Protector, as a conduit for endotracheal intubation. The study aimed to compare the first-pass success rate of blind intubation, time taken for successful intubation, and ease of intubation through both devices.

Material and Methods:
This prospective randomized study was conducted on 100 patients of either sex aged 18–60 years, belonging to ASA physical status I–II, with 50 patients in each group (group B – LMA Blockbuster, and group P – LMA Protector). All the patients received general anesthesia. The primary objective was to compare the success rate, ease of blind tracheal intubation, time taken for intubation, and number of attempts. Secondary objectives included assessing the success of supraglottic device (SAD) placement, oropharyngeal seal pressure, and hemodynamic changes.

Results:
The insertion time of the SAD was 8.18 ± 3.66 and 10.94 ± 6.66 s for groups B and P, respectively. The SAD was placed on the first attempt in 96.0% of patients in group B and 88% of patients in group P. The total time taken for successful intubation was comparable between the groups (P = 0.239). The ETT was placed in the first attempt in 88% and 78% patients in group B and group P, respectively (P = 0.8).

Conclusions:
We conclude that LMA Blockbuster and LMA Protector are both comparable and good intubating devices in terms of ease and success rate of intubation. However, LMA Blockbuster outperforms LMA Protector in terms of ease of insertion of SADs.

Abstract

Background and Aims:
Traditionally various methods have been employed to improve glottic visualization during laryngoscopy, namely backward-upward-rightward pressure (BURP) and jaw trust with promising results. The current study aims to compare these maneuvers for the enhancement of glottic visualization during video laryngoscopy.

Material and Methods:
In this prospective randomized study in 120 adult patients with normal airways, C-MAC® laryngoscopy was performed under general anesthesia (GA). Images of the glottis with conventional laryngoscopic technique, using BURP maneuver and jaw thrust were acquired, and Cormack–Lehane (CL) grading, percentage of glottic opening (POGO) score, and approximate glottic area were recorded from the images. Subsequently, patients were divided into three equal groups–in group C, the trachea was intubated using conventional laryngoscopic technique, in group B, BURP was used, and in group J, jaw thrust was used. Intubation time, ease of intubation, number of intubation attempts, incidence of airway trauma, and postoperative sore throat were noted.

Results:
Both jaw thrust and BURP maneuvers improved CL grading, POGO score, and glottic area significantly as compared to the conventional laryngoscopic technique. CL grading and POGO score were better with BURP than with jaw thrust; however, the glottic area improved more with jaw thrust. Jaw thrust also resulted in statistically significant lower intubation time and better ease of insertion score. Intubation was successful in the first attempt in all patients and there was no airway trauma and postoperative sore throat.

Conclusion:
Both BURP and jaw thrust maneuvers result in better glottic visualization. Jaw thrust provides lower intubation times, better ease of intubation scores, as well as a higher visualized glottic area than BURP.

Refleksi Moral dan Implikasi Etis dari LGBT, Aborsi, dan Euthanasia dalam Konteks Modern
Authors: Krikhoff Rudy Arianto 
Published: December 2024

Social transformation in modern society presents significant challenges for the church in responding to moral and ethical issues, particularly those related to LGBT, abortion, and euthanasia. These issues not only challenge the church's established views on human dignity and God's authority over life but also demand deeper reflection within the context of Christian theology. This article aims to analyze the moral reflection and ethical implications of these three issues, with the goal of understanding how the church can respond to social changes without neglecting essential Biblical principles, while remaining relevant amidst the changing times. This study uses a qualitative method, involving theological literature review as well as interviews with church leaders. The literature review highlights contemporary theological perspectives on morality, love, and justice in relation to LGBT, abortion, and euthanasia. Meanwhile, interviews with church leaders provide practical insights into how moral teachings are applied in navigating social dynamics. The results of this study show that the church must adopt a balanced approach: upholding Biblical moral principles, such as love and respect for life, while also engaging in a more inclusive and compassionate dialogue with society. This approach allows the church to remain relevant in addressing moral and ethical issues in the modern era, without losing its theological integrity.

Transformasi sosial dalam masyarakat modern membawa tantangan signifikan bagi gereja dalam merespons isu-isu moral dan etis, khususnya terkait LGBT, aborsi, dan eutanasia. Ketiga isu ini tidak hanya mengguncang pandangan gereja yang telah mapan tentang martabat manusia dan otoritas Tuhan atas kehidupan, tetapi juga menuntut refleksi yang lebih mendalam dalam konteks teologi Kristen. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis refleksi moral dan implikasi etis dari ketiga isu tersebut, dengan tujuan memahami bagaimana gereja dapat merespons perubahan sosial tanpa mengabaikan prinsip-prinsip Alkitabiah yang esensial, namun tetap relevan di tengah perkembangan zaman. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif, meliputi kajian literatur teologis serta wawancara dengan tokoh-tokoh gereja. Kajian literatur menyoroti pandangan teolog kontemporer tentang moralitas, kasih, dan keadilan dalam kaitannya dengan LGBT, aborsi, dan eutanasia. Sementara itu, wawancara dengan para pemimpin gereja memberikan perspektif praktis mengenai bagaimana ajaran moral diterapkan dalam menghadapi dinamika sosial. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa gereja harus mengambil pendekatan yang seimbang: mempertahankan prinsip-prinsip moral Alkitabiah, seperti kasih dan penghormatan terhadap kehidupan, sambil membuka dialog yang lebih inklusif dan penuh kasih dengan masyarakat. Pendekatan ini memungkinkan gereja tetap relevan dalam merespons isu-isu moral dan etis di era modern, tanpa kehilangan integritas teologisnya.
