Background: Insulin resistance was associated with type-2 diabetes mellitus regardless of HIV status. However, an association of insulin resistance in prediabetes with HIV-infected subjects undergoing anti-retroviral therapy (ART) has been reported in very few studies. Methods: Serum insulin and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were measured in ART patients with impaired fasting glycemia (IFG) and those with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) along with other biochemical parameters. Results: There was increased insulin resistance in the ART IFG group when compared to their ART NGT counterparts. There was a positive correlation of HOMA-IR with serum creatinine, triglycerides, and ALT levels. However, serum HDL showed a negative correlation with HOMA-IR. Conclusion: Present study showed that there is association of insulin resistance in IFG associated with HIV-infected subjects on ART. Hence, monitoring the insulin resistance in ART patients may help in early prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: Oligohydramnios is described as a condition with decreased amniotic fluid volume relative to gestational age. Oligohydramnios is most commonly defined as an amniotic fluid index (AFI) ? 5 cm or the largest vertical pocket measuring ? 2 cm. Isolated oligohydramnios (IO) refers to the presence of oligohydramnios without fetal structural and chromosomal abnormalities, without fetal growth restriction, without intrauterine infection and in the absence of known maternal disease. Aim: To study was to analyse the maternal and fetal outcome in isolated oligohydramnios in third trimester of pregnancy. Method: This is prospective hospital based observational study which was carried out in department of obstetrics and gynaecology, S.P. Medical College, Bikaner for a period from June 2021 to May 2022. This study included 100 pregnant women, who fulfill inclusion and exclusion criteria, out of which 50 pregnant women with 28 completed weeks of gestation who had singleton pregnancy with cephalic presentation and Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) < 5 cm enrolled as study cases while 50 pregnant women with AFI > 5 cm were in control group. Results: Majority of the patients were in 21-30 years of age in both groups. Majority of patients in both groups were illiterate, unbooked, belonged to rural area and were from lower middle socioeconomic status; hence both groups were comparable in this regards. In our study in group A out of 50 patients, 33 (66%) had LSCS and 17 (34%) patients delivered by vaginal route and group B out of 50 patients, 43 (86%) patients delivered by vaginal route and only 7 (14%) patients had for LSCS. NICU admission in group A was 14 (28%) and in group B 3(6%) respectively. Conclusion: C-Section rates were more common in group A compared to group B. NICU admission rate were more in group A (40%) compare to group B (14%). In Isolated oligohydramnios more babies had APGAR<7 at 1& 5min.

Introduction: Canine fossa abscess is an odontogenic infection originating from the upper jaw teeth, specifically from the premolar or canine. This abscess needs to be treated properly because it can be life-threatening. Canine fossa abscess that induces the formation of bullae is rare. Case Report: A 55-year-old male complained of a lump under his eye that contain clear fluid after previously undergoing abscess drainage through intraoral access and teeth extraction that caused the canine fossa abscess. The lump was in the form of a ruptured bullae lesion and reappeared. The treatment performed was incision through extraoral access, postoperative bandage, and antibiotic medication. The result showed that the bullae disappeared. The prognosis, in this case, is ad bonam. Conclusion: Canine fossa abscess cases can be life-threatening. Complications that arise, such as bullae, are rare but it is important to know the causes, treatment, and management. It is crucial for dentists to be aware so that they can determine the treatment when such cases occur. Keywords: Fossa Canine Abscess, Drainage, Bullae

Background: Addition of adjuvants to routinely used intrathecal drugs is cornerstone in safe and effective prolongation of single shot spinal block for gynecological surgery. In resource deficient countries, where epidural anaesthesia is usually not used because of cost factor, adjuvants are routinely used to prolong the effect of regional anaesthesia. Alpha 2 agonists are considered best drugs as adjuvants, but there is inconclusive data in literature about the block characteristic, dose at which to be used and side effect after use of these drugs. Methods: A prospective randomized single blind study was conducted in the Department of Anaesthesia IGMC SHIMLA at Kamla Nehru state hospital. Results: Hypotension was seen in 5 patients of Group C and 4 patients of Group D. Three patients in both the groups required 2 doses of Inj mephenteramine and 2 patients in Group C and 1 in Group D required single dose of Vasopressor (Inj mephentermine). (p=0.83). Five patients had bradycardia, 3 Nausea and 3 had shivering in Group C, while only 2 patients had side effects in Group D i.e one patient had bradycardia and another nausea, vomiting. (p= 0.657) Conclusion: We observed hypotension, bradycardia, nausea vomiting and post operative shivering in our patients during the study period but there was no statistical significance achieved amongst the groups.

Abstract Objective: To Compare the safety and efficacy between intravenous iron sucrose and ferric carboxy maltose in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy. Methodology: A Prospective study was conducted on 100 antenatal women with iron deficiency anemia in department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of a tertiary care center in northern India from June 2021 to May 2022. Results: The mean age in group A (Iron Sucrose group) was 25+ 2.83 years and in group B (FCM group) was 24.08+4.45 years. In group A (IS group) the average increase in Hb level was about 1.24 ± 0.29 gm/dl at 3 weeks and 2.62 ± 0.2 gm/dl at 6 weeks. In group B (FCM group) the average increase was about 1.74 ± 0.42 gm/dl at 3 weeks and 4.15 ± 1.94 gm/dl at 6 weeks. In IS group the average increase in ferritin was about 18.83 ± 18.18 ng/dl at 3 weeks and 43.54 ± 31.71 ng/dl at 6 weeks. In FCM group the average increase was about 34 ± 19.83 ng/dl at 3 weeks and 96.62 ± 50.7 ng/dl at 6 weeks. P value at both time periods was 0.0001, which is highly significant. 43 patients (86%) in Group B as compared to 19 patients (38%) in group A showed improvement in anaemia in PBS findings over 3 week and 6 week period, which was statistically significant with a P value of 0.024. In Group A (IS group ) only two patients complained of diarrhoea, two complained of headache, 1 patient complained of nausea ,vomiting, one complained of nausea only, In Group B (FCM group) total 3 patients (6%) complained of minor reactions like nausea, vomiting and itching. There were mild side effects only in both the groups. Conclusion: Intravenous FCM is more efficient and better alternative than iron sucrose in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in pregnancy. Key Words: IDA, FCM, IS, Ferritin, Haemoglobin.

P value at both time periods was 0.0001, which is highly significant. 43 patients (86%) in Group B as compared to 19 patients (38%) in group A showed improvement in anaemia in PBS findings over 3 week and 6 week period, which was statistically significant with a P value of 0.024. In Group A (IS group ) only two patients complained of diarrhoea, two complained of headache, 1 patient complained of nausea ,vomiting, one complained of nausea only, In Group B (FCM group) total 3 patients (6%) complained of minor reactions like nausea, vomiting and itching. There were mild side effects only in both the groups.\u0000Conclusion: Intravenous FCM is more efficient and better alternative than iron sucrose in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia in pregnancy.\u0000Key Words: IDA, FCM, IS, Ferritin, Haemoglobin.","PeriodicalId":14139,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical and Biomedical Studies","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86170628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Influenza virus is a highly contagious zoonotic respiratory disease that causes seasonal outbreaks each year and unpredictable pandemics occasionally with high morbidity and mortality rates, posing a great threat to public health worldwide. Besides the limited effect of vaccines, the problem is exacerbated by the lack of drugs with strong antiviral activity against all flu strains. Rimantadine is one of the effective anti-viral drugs that is used in treating influenza virus. In present study niosomes of Rimantadine were developed by ether injection method. Total 6 formulations were prepared by altering ratios of span 60 and cholesterol. The prepared formulations were evaluated for different parameters. In vitro drug release studies were carried out for all the formulations and among five formulations F5 was found to have highest drug release. Prepared niosomes were incorporated in gel and evaluation studies like pH, homogenicity, viscosity and spreadability were carried out. All the parameters were found satisfactory. It was compared with marketed gel. The former has shown drug release till 12 h whereas the latter has shown only till 6 h. Thus, sustained release of drug loaded niosomes was proved.
