Role of Stress Cardiac MRI in Management of Patients with Moderate (50-69%) Coronary Artery Stenosis - A Single-Center, Pilot Study in North Indian Population | Author : Dr. Anjum Syed | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases in India. Even after the availability of data on the usefulness of stress CMRI; we are still not using stress CMRI in the management of patients with CAD in India. Our study was a prospective, pilot study from the Himalayan belt of North India; wherein we tried to assess the role of stress CMRI in the management of patients with moderate coronary artery stenosis. |
| The Impact of Labor Complications on Episiotomy Rates in a Rural Ethiopian Hospital (2019): Exploring Links Between Vacuum Deliveries and Low Apgar Scores | Author : Dr. Nebyu Yonas Shanka | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Abstract
Background
Episiotomy rates remain high in some regions, despite questions about its benefits. This study investigates the prevalence of episiotomy in a rural Ethiopian hospital (2019) and explores links between episiotomy use, labor complications (vacuum deliveries), and newborn health (low Apgar scores).
Methods
A cross-sectional study reviewed 300 vaginal deliveries at Batu General Hospital in January-March 2019. We analyzed data on maternal age, mode of delivery, neonate sex, first-minute Apgar score, and episiotomy use.
Results
Episiotomy was performed in 26% (78/300) of deliveries. Mothers who delivered with vacuum assistance were 15.17 times more likely to experience episiotomy compared to those with spontaneous vaginal delivery. Deliveries with low Apgar scores had 6.11 times higher odds of episiotomy compared to normal Apgar scores.
Conclusion
This study highlights a high episiotomy rate in this setting. Labor complications, particularly those requiring instrumental deliveries and resulting in low Apgar scores, are significantly associated with episiotomy use. Further investigation is needed to determine if reducing unnecessary episiotomy is feasible while ensuring safe deliveries for mothers and newborns in this context. |
| Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Science: An Evolving Synergy for Oral Health Optimization | Author : Dr. Ashish Pandey | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Abstract
Pharmaceutical science and dentistry have experienced a rapid intersection over the past few decades, resulting in innovative treatment modalities for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of oral diseases. The integration of pharmacological agents into dental care has enhanced therapeutic outcomes, minimized adverse effects, and expanded the scope of dental treatments. The development of specialized drug delivery systems, regenerative treatments, and antimicrobial agents has empowered dentists to address oral health challenges more effectively. This article explores the current state of pharmaceutical applications in dentistry, with an emphasis on novel therapeutic agents, bioactive materials, and the latest advancements that shape patient care. Recent innovations, including localized drug delivery systems, nanotechnology, and pharmaceutical bioengineering, are evaluated for their clinical significance and future potential. This synergistic approach between dental science and pharmacology aims to elevate the standard of oral healthcare and optimize patient outcomes. |
| Discoveries© | Author : Dr. Andrew Hague | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Abstract
Of the three branches of medicine, biophysics is the safest and easiest to use. Biochemistry is dangerous and psychology as a science almost useless yet important. Since Rockefeller corrupted the medical establishment over a hundred years ago, it has left the pharmaceutical industry controlling medicine with nothing to cure pain and chronic disease except brain blockers that leave patients half dead. Biophysics and the electrical properties of the body were always known and ignored until CellSonic, my company, was able to package all properties of light pressure and electrical field into one machine that anyone with commonsense could use safely. When a patient has failed to get help from their usual doctor, they find their way to a CellSonic clinic and are delighted to be cured or healed without side effects. Because the treatments are safe, only aiming into the ear is banned, the CellSonic is tried, and more often than not the result is an improvement almost immediately. This has led to discoveries that the establishment admits cannot be cured by their drugs. This article lists a few that have been reported to me in one month, August 2024. |
| Clinical Outcomes and Diagnostic Utility of Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) In Trauma Patients: A Retrospective Analysis | Author : Dr. Nayab Mustansar | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Abstract
This retrospective analysis examines the clinical outcomes and diagnostic utility of Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma (FAST) in 100 trauma patients presenting to the emergency department. Through a detailed review of medical records, we assess the accuracy of FAST in detecting intra-abdominal and pericardial fluid, its impact on clinical decision-making, and patient outcomes. Our findings underscore the importance of FAST as a rapid and reliable tool in the initial evaluation of trauma patients, contributing to timely interventions and improved outcomes. |
