Melioidosis, an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is endemic in tropical countries. In nonendemic areas, the disease is rarely suspected because of varying clinical presentations and only a few attempts are made to isolate the pathogen. Many cases are left underdiagnosed or underreported in geographical areas where the disease is not endemic. This study aimed to analyze the clinical presentations, comorbidities, and antibiotic susceptibility patterns in patients with melioidosis in a tertiary care center. A retrospective study was done on culture-confirmed melioidosis patients admitted to a tertiary care center, from January 2015 to December 2022. Relevant information on clinical presentations, mortality rate, comorbidities, and antibiogram was collected from hospital medical records. A total of 73 culture-confirmed cases of melioidosis were included in the study. Common clinical presentations were pneumonia (n = 35, 47.9%), septicemia (n = 13, 17.8%), and deep abscesses (n = 9, 12.3%). The mortality rate from melioidosis was 15.1% (n = 11). No significant difference was found in the mortality rate between pneumonia and septicemia groups (P = 0.716). Diabetes mellitus (DM) was the major comorbidity detected (n = 56, 76.7%). Isolates were susceptible to ceftazidime (n = 71, 97.3%), meropenem (n = 71, 97.3%), and co-trimoxazole (n = 60, 82.2%). Common clinical presentations of melioidosis in our setting were pneumonia and septicemia. DM was the major comorbidity. Nearly one in six patients died. Ceftazidime and meropenem were the effective antibiotics. These findings may help physicians to make an early microbiological diagnosis which is essential to reduce mortality.

“Synchronous videoconference telemedicine in neonatal office-practice” (SyNTOP) has been a routine practice in our center since the start of the COVID-19-related lockdown. We recently reported our experience with the “success” of this practice in terms of removing the need to visit the hospital over the next 48 h after the teleconsult. Secondary results of this retrospective descriptive study which analyzed 829 consults are presented in this manuscript. Data from electronic medical records of those who availed teleconsultation facility between March 2020 and April 2021 were retrieved. Relevant information about clinical presentation, findings from the video call, demographic information, decisions made by the clinician, and outcomes were collected. Best efforts were made to obtain follow-up information by the clinical team or guest–patient relations officers. Fever (n = 118) and acute diarrheal disease (n = 58) were the common presenting complaints; most (80.5% and 95.5%, respectively) were resolved without physical examination; 265 developmental assessments were completed by video-facilitated checks. Fast-track vaccination visits where queries were resolved and bills paid online, were an innovation where well babies could avoid queues and possible exposure to crowds. One-fourths of SyNTOP were from outside the district, and 1.4% were from foreign countries. Teleconsults were successfully conducted in neonatal office practice for different health-care enquiries. Strategies such as fast-track vaccinations and online developmental follow-up assessments were performed by leveraging technology. We highlight the benefits of these innovations in our center with a view to enhance their uptake elsewhere. Such approaches have the potential to increase health equity and access to specialty health care.

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is one of the most common causes of retinal vascular disease, second to diabetic retinopathy. We aimed to compare the lamina cribrosa thickness (LCT) of patients with unilateral branch RVO (BRVO) versus healthy individuals. This was a hospital-based, prospective, cross-sectional, and comparative study. Participants were newly diagnosed RVO cases (n = 25) and apparently normal age-matched healthy controls (n = 25). All the participants underwent systemic and comprehensive ophthalmic examination, including refraction and enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography. Relevant parameters were compared between the groups using the independent t-test. Statistical significance thresholds were set at a P < 0.05. The mean age of cases (66.7% female) and controls (52% female) was 55.9 ± 7.4 and 59.4 ± 7.0 years, respectively, (P = 0.089). The mean LCT of the affected eyes in cases (176.6 ± 28.3 μm) was significantly lower compared to the unaffected eyes of cases (200.6 ± 33.1 μm, P = 0.008) and control eye (230.9 ± 36.9 μm, P = 0.001). A thinner lamina cribrosa (LC) was observed in both eyes of unilateral RVO patients compared with healthy, nonglaucomatous subjects’ eyes. The role of LCT as a local mechanical factor in the pathogenesis of BRVO and their relationship to systemic factors merits further investigation.

Given the increased use of complementary and alternative medicine along with over-the-counter drugs, drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has become relatively common and a differential diagnosis for every other patient who presents with a deranged liver function test. As no specific markers or diagnostic tests exist to confirm DILI, it is a diagnosis of exclusion. Liver biopsy is a valuable tool for evaluating patients with clinical suspicion of DILI. However, there are limited published data describing histopathological diagnoses in DILI and their clinical outcomes in the Asian subcontinent. In this 2-year retrospective study conducted between January 2020 and December 2022, records of 34 DILI patients were evaluated. The histological patterns of injury and liver functions (total bilirubin and liver enzymes) were described and the corresponding clinical outcomes were assessed. All the included cases had elevated liver enzymes. The most common histopathological pattern in DILI was cholestatic hepatitis (n = 14, 41.0%). Eosinophilic prominence and inflammation around the portal tract were seen in majority of the cases (n = 25, 73.5%). A few cases had fibrosis as well (n = 12, 35.0%). The most common drug associated with liver injury was herbal/traditional medicines (n = 17, 50.0%). Certain histopathological “clues” can help the pathologist suspect a DILI diagnosis. The main findings associated with DILI are cholestatic hepatitis, lobular disarray, inflammation, and necrosis. Correlation with clinical history and biochemical parameters will help in clinching the diagnosis.
由于补充和替代医学以及非处方药的使用越来越多,药物性肝损伤(DILI)已变得相对常见,也是其他所有肝功能检测异常患者的鉴别诊断之一。由于没有特异性标志物或诊断测试来确诊 DILI,因此这是一种排除性诊断。肝活检是评估临床怀疑 DILI 患者的重要工具。然而,在亚洲次大陆,描述 DILI 组织病理学诊断及其临床结果的公开数据非常有限。 在这项于2020年1月至2022年12月进行的为期两年的回顾性研究中,对34例DILI患者的病历进行了评估。研究描述了损伤的组织学模式和肝功能(总胆红素和肝酶),并评估了相应的临床结果。 所有纳入病例的肝酶均升高。DILI 最常见的组织病理学模式是胆汁淤积性肝炎(14 例,41.0%)。大多数病例的门静脉周围可见嗜酸性粒细胞突出和炎症(25 例,占 73.5%)。少数病例还伴有肝纤维化(12 例,35.0%)。与肝损伤相关的最常见药物是草药/传统药物(17 例,50.0%)。 某些组织病理学 "线索 "可以帮助病理学家怀疑 DILI 的诊断。与 DILI 相关的主要发现是胆汁淤积性肝炎、肝小叶紊乱、炎症和坏死。与临床病史和生化指标的相关性有助于明确诊断。

A mass of hair found trapped in the gastrointestinal system is termed a trichobezoar. Complications such as gastric ulceration, bleeding, perforation, and intestinal obstruction may occur. There is a relative paucity of reports on trichobezoars in psychiatry compared to the surgical literature. Here, we present a case of trichotillomania and pica leading to intestinal obstruction. Our aim was to emphasize the importance of considering trichobezoars as one of the differentials in cases of patients presenting with unexplained abdominal pain, even if clear signs of trichotillomania are not present.

Scoping reviews have become a common form of evidence synthesis in the past few years. They can collect information from any research methodology as well as from research sources. Thus, they provide a comprehensive overview to address broader research questions as compared to systematic reviews. The original framework for conducting scoping reviews was proposed by Arksey and O'Malley in 2005 and further extended by Joanna Briggs Institute Collaboration in 2017. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Statement extended to Scoping Reviews are the reporting guidelines for a scoping review.
