Abstract

Background:
The objective is to study the relation between the velocity of the arterial feeder and the progression of the postendovascular aneurysm repair aneurysm to find out the cut point velocity, which causes a significant increase in size of the aneurysm sac.

Methods:
Retrospective study of patients with Type II endoleak followed up with the duplex ultrasound between January 2010 and June 2022. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the velocity, number of feeding artery, and flow pattern were studied. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to evaluate a test performance and the most appropriate cutoff velocity of the arterial feeder.

Results:
The peak systolic velocity (PSV) of >75 cm/s, multiple feeding arteries, and the to-and-fro pattern show a significant distinguish the stable size from the significant increase in the size of the aneurysm with a sensitivity of 100.0%, a specificity of 100.0%, and an accuracy of 100.0% (P = 0.002).

Conclusion:
The patient with a PSV >75 cm/s, multiple feeding arteries, and the to-and-fro pattern are correlated with significant aneurysm expansion and need closer follow-up than the patient with low PSV, single feeding artery, and monophasic pattern.

Published: January 2024

Background:
With the popularisation and infiltration of social media in the healthcare system, it can be used as a source of information by the general population. The aim of our study was to assess Instagram’s effectiveness as a tool for disseminating information about cholecystectomy and cholecystitis.

Methods and Material:
Instagram posts with top hashtags such as #Cholecystitis, #Cholecystectomy, #GallBladderStones, #Gallbladderremoval, #Gallbladderproblems, and #Gallbladdersurgery were analyzed by each investigator for 10 days in November 2022. Two groups were created – group A (posts uploaded by doctors and healthcare industry) and group B (posts uploaded by individuals other than group A). Using predetermined criteria along with a global quality score and reliability score (DISCERN), the posts were validated and scored.

Results:
Out of the total 600 posts, 474 posts (828151 likes, 62183 comments) were found relevant to the aim of the study. Survivors/persons suffering from the disease made the highest contribution to the posts (32.91%). About 31.22% of the content was based on the symptomatology of the disease. There was a highly significant difference (p< 0.0001) between the quality and reliability of posts shared by group A, compared to the group B; the formal ranking higher in each category.

Conclusions:
We found that the health information on Instagram about cholecystectomy and related topics is edged towards low quality and unreliability. It should be tailored towards evidence-based data from scientists and medical professionals.

Published: January 2024

Background:
Cervical cancer was ranked as the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide. At present, four vaccines have been prequalified by the WHO, all protecting against human papillomavirus (HPV) types 16 and 18. Efforts are being made to scale up HPV vaccination for adolescent girls in India. However, awareness and acceptance among the community are lesser known.

Objective:
The objective of this study was to determine willingness to take HPV vaccine, factors affecting willingness, and potential barriers to vaccination among adolescent girls and mothers.

Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted in the rural field practice area of a tertiary care hospital of district Faridabad, Haryana, in North India on 186 females using an interview schedule. The sample was divided between 9- and 14-year-old adolescent girls (a), 15–29-year-old women (b), and ≥30-year-old women with a girl child (c). Females who had attained menopause were excluded from the study. All the study participants’ willingness to accept vaccine was noted after imparting education about preventive measures of cervical cancer and the vaccine available for its prevention.

Results:
Prior knowledge about cervical cancer was present in < one-fourth (22.7%) of the population and its knowledge about being preventable (15.2%) and availability of vaccine (16.1%) was even lower. After awareness session, the willingness to take vaccine for self was present in more than two-third of the population (68.3%) but was lower for vaccination of daughters among mothers (42.1%). Willingness to get vaccinated was observed to be higher among those with higher education, who are employed, belong to above poverty line and those with higher awareness. Unawareness about vaccine’s effect, parental permission, and fear of injections were the reasons for nonwillingness.

Conclusion:
Unawareness is present among adolescents. Parental permission in the community is important for any vaccination among dependent children and adolescents. Hence, awareness of mothers is also a key issue.

ABSTRACT

Purpose:
To study clinical profile, causes, and outcome of optic neuritis.

Material and Method:
A total of 66 eyes of 33 patients were included in this prospective observational study, which was conducted at Ophthalmology Clinic of Tertiary Care Center of Western Maharashtra, during study period of August 2019 to September 2021. Study population included all patients clinically diagnosed of optic neuritis, except patients with ischemic optic neuropathy, para-infectious cause of optic neuritis, and postvaccinated optic neuritis.

Result:
Maximum patients belonged to age-group of 30–40 years. Fifty-two percent were male, while 48% were female patients. Fifty-five percent of study population reported with papillitis, 39% had retrobulbar neuritis, and 6% had neuroretinitis. 94.1% had improved visual acuity, post 3 months of the steroid therapy. However, 35% revealed improved color vision status, while 58.8% continued to have impaired color vision.

Conclusion:
Higher frequency of papillitis has been observed in various Asian studies. The present study accounts for 55% cases of papillitis and 39% of retrobulbar neuritis, in contrast to Western studies like ONTT which revealed predominantly higher cases of retrobulbar neuritis. Optic disk edema or swelling has been identified with lower risk to multiple sclerosis, thus explaining the increased frequency of papillitis among the Asian population with optic neuritis which seems compatible with lower rates of developing MS.

ABSTRACT

Aims and Objectives:
The study was undertaken to estimate the prevalence of fecal calprotectin among spondyloarthritis (SpA) and its correlates among the Indian population.

Methods:
All newly diagnosed patients of SpA were enrolled in the study. The data were collected for socio-demographic, inflammatory markers, and disease activity at the time of diagnosis. Stool samples were collected, homogenized, and processed for measurement of fecal calprotectin levels using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).

Results:
A total of 93 patients with 18 (19.4%) having peripheral SpA and 75 (80.6%) having axial SpA were included in the study. The average fecal calprotectin (FCP) level was 31.54 ± 30.83 mcg/g. The FCP levels were higher for the peripheral group (46.34 mcg/g vs. 28.16 mcg/g P value < 0.001). High FCP, more than 50 mcg/gm, was found in 24.75% of patients, 20% patients of Axial SpA group, and 44.4% in peripheral SpA. There was a statistically significant correlation between the FCP levels and BASFAI levels.

Conclusion:
This study demonstrated that a significant proportion of newly diagnosed patients of SpA would have subclinical gut inflammation as measured by FCP. Identifying this subset may be important for early treatment.

Molecular characterization of carbapenemase production in clinical isolates of Klebsiella species isolated in a tertiary care hospital
Authors: Bansal Madhulika , Pandey Anita , Chauhan Kalpana , Singh Peetam 
Published: January 2024

Introduction and Aim: Emergence of resistance to carbapenems in clinical isolates of Klebsiella species is a matter of concern. This prospective study was carried out to determine the prevalence of carbapenem resistance in clinical isolates of Klebsiella species phenotypically and to confirm for the presence of bla NDM (New Delhi metallo-b-lactamase) and bla KPC (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase) genes in these isolates.

Materials and Methods: The 336 clinical isolates of Klebsiella species were tested for carbapenemase production by phenotypic tests; the Modified Hodge Test (MHT) and Combined Disc Test (CDT). The carbapenemase producers were further confirmed for presence of bla NDM and bla KPC genes using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Results: Resistance to carbapenem was seen in 34.52% of clinical isolates of Klebsiella species and majority of these isolates were from inpatient units (59.23%) of the Hospital. Maximum cases were seen in males (63.69%) and the positivity rate was high in > 61 years of age (27.08%). On genotypic characterization, bla NDM was the predominant (15.52%) gene detected as compared to bla KPC (10.34%) gene. However, these 2 genes could not be detected in some isolates suggesting other genes responsible for carbapenem resistance.

Conclusion: Emergence of resistance to carbapenem is a matter of concern. There was predominance of bla NDM gene in our hospital. Timely and accurate detection of resistance and rational use of second and third-line antibiotics would allow the early initiation of treatment for better patient outcome.

Published: January 2024

Introduction and Aim: Diabetic nephropathy is a major microvascular complication in diabetic patients. Microalbuminuria when detected early, helps to delay progression to proteinuria and overt diabetic nephropathy. This study aims to find out the role of glycaemic control and development of microalbuminuria in type -2 diabetes.

Materials and Methods: This study was done at a South Indian tertiary care centre. Our case control study included 100 subjects with diabetes as cases and 100 age and sex-matched healthy individuals without diabetes as the controls. Blood samples were collected from both groups to assess fasting and post prandial blood sugar levels, as well as HbA1c levels. Urine samples were also analysed for microalbumin using midstream early morning samples. Our data was analysed using statistical methods such as Chi square test, unpaired Student’s t-tests, and linear regression method.

Results: The results displayed a striking rise in the average levels of urine microalbumin in individuals with diabetes, as compared to those without the condition. Furthermore, there was a considerable escalation in urine microalbumin levels observed with longer durations of diabetes. Additionally, there was a strong and significant connection between HbA1c and urine microalbumin levels amongst patients diagnosed with type-2 diabetes.

Conclusion: It is vital to screen for microalbuminuria in individuals with type-2 diabetes mellitus at an early stage, in order to lower the likelihood of developing nephropathy in diabetes and end-stage kidney failure. Additionally, suboptimal glycemic management in type-2 diabetes significantly raises the chances of developing microalbuminuria.

Association of Helicobacter pylori infection with anemia in patients presenting with histopathology proven chronic gastritis
Authors: Nandakumar Himalini , Balasubramanian Subalakshmi , Gunabooshanam Barathi , Rani Anitha 
Published: January 2024

Introduction and Aim: Helicobacter pylori infection causing anemia has been attributed to impaired iron metabolism due to bleeding peptic ulcers or hypochlorhydria resulting in reduced absorption secondary to atrophic gastritis. Studies have revealed iron and Vitamin B12 deficiency and iron deficiency anemia to be a consequence of H.pylori infection and its eradication in improving the anemic status across varied demographic populations. The aim is to find the association of H. pylori infection with anemia in histopathology proven samples of chronic gastritis using red cell indices as a marker for anemia.

Materials and Methods: 336 formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue blocks of histopathology proven chronic gastritis specimens were considered from which details of H.pylori infection was obtained. Clinical pathology and biochemical findings were used to identify the anaemic status. Data was tabulated and analyzed using appropriate statistical analysis.

Results: Prevalence of H.pylori was found to be 50% and was significantly higher (66.3%) in the age group of 31-45 yrs (p=0.008). There was no statistical significance between gender and H.pylori infection. Study showed a clinical difference in the RBC indices between patients with and without H.pylori infection but it was not statistically significant.

Conclusion: Though studies in the past have shown association between H. pylori infection and anemia, the same might not be applicable in patients with chronic gastritis. They might develop iron deficiency not severe enough to cause anemia, a possible reason behind the current study not proving an association between the two in patients with chronic gastritis.
