Background: This study aims to assess Tamsulosin's contribution to spontaneous medical expulsion for distal ureteral stones. Methodology: The research included 113 patients diagnosed with the distal ureteral stone of 4-10 mm. These patients were introduced to 0.4 mg of Tamsulosin. The technique of KUB ultrasonography was adopted as the means of assessment of stone status following the period of Tamsulosin introduction. Results: There was a high frequency of Spontaneous expulsion among the enrolled patients (86.73%). Furthermore, there was a significant effect of age on the frequency of spontaneous expulsion (p=0.008). While gender, disease duration, stone size, and side had no significant effect on the frequency of spontaneous expulsion after Tamsulosin administration for distal ureteral stones. Conclusion: It is concluded that Tamsulosin has an efficient impact on triggering spontaneous expulsion among patients with distal ureteral stones.

Threats to the environment and the economy significantly worsened human health, greatly outweighing any gains associated with increasing food production. Numerous heavily fertilized crops are used as animal feed, contributing to global food inequalities and unbalanced diets, even in wealthy countries. Hazardous fertilizers have been linked to an excessive burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases, which significantly increase yields and pose considerable environmental and public health risks. The rate at which nitrogen fertilizers are applied is closely related to the buildup of toxins in the surrounding area, groundwater, and leafy and root crops. Consumption of diets including these ingredients has contributed to a significant risk to human health.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) is a neuromodulatory device that is used for its ability to enhance cognitive and behavioral performance. Human studies suggest that TDCS modulates cortical excitability during stimulation by nonsynaptic changes of the cells, along with evidence that the after-effects of TDCS are driven by synaptic modification. TDCS represents a potential intervention to enhance cognition across clinical populations, including mild cognitive impairment among psychological and neurological disorders. Studies suggest that TDCS might be helpful in treating depression with appropriate current, size of electrodes, and employment of montages. TDCS opens a new perspective in treating major depressive disorder (MDD) because of its ability to modulate cortical excitability and induce long-lasting effects.

Knee pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder and contributes a large socio-economic burden to health systems around the world. The traditional strategy to manage knee pain has been exercise. However, there is growing recognition to include coping and self-management educational strategies to improve psychosocial outcomes. Purpose: The purpose of this evaluation was to compare the effectiveness of a revised knee rehabilitation class that incorporated an evidence-based educational component (2021-22) to the previous knee rehabilitation class that did not incorporated an evidence-based educational component (2020–21) by comparing pre-class and post-class outcome measurement scores. Method: A retrospective evaluation of the knee rehabilitation classes at an NHS Trust in North London, United Kingdom was conducted using the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) from two cohorts of participants from 2020-21 and 2021-22. Data from the two classes were analysed separately and then compared. Satisfaction scores were captured using a questionnaire which participants completed at the end of each class. Data were analysed using the Statistical Software for Excel (XLSTAT) package. Results: A total of 46 and 52 patients attended the 2020-21 and 2021-22 classes respectively. Both classes showed significant improvements in KOOS and LEFS when analysed separately, but no significant difference when compared. The 2020-21 class had a mean satisfaction score of 87.2%, and the 2021-22 class had a mean satisfaction score of 91.7%. Conclusion: The addition of an evidence-based educational component incorporating coping and self-management strategies in a knee rehabilitation class showed improvement in outcome measurement scores but cannot be considered superior to a class which consisted of an exercise component only.

Background: The increased renal stone size affects the stone clearance rate and the need for nephrostomy in (Percutaneous nephrolithotomy) PCNL. Also, complete stone clearance of bulky renal calculi causes blood loss during PCNL, resulting in hemoglobin drop and sometimes requiring transfusion. This is a frequently encountered phenomenon and is quite problematic for urologists and patients. This study aimed to determine the rate of stone clearance and nephrostomy needed in Mini-PCNL over Conventional PCNL. Methodology: A comparative study was conducted at the urology department of PIMS, Islamabad. A total of eighty (n=80) adult patients of either gender between ages 18-65 years were enrolled. Subjects enrolled had radiographic evidence of renal stones of > 1cm. Group A patients underwent conventional PCNL procedures, and Group B patients underwent Mini PNCL. The rates of stone clearance nephrostomy needed were compared between the two study groups. Results: The mean age of study participants in group A was (33.7 ± 12.1) and in group B (36.5 ± 11.1). The mean sizes of the stone were 2.4 cm and 2.7 cm in groups A and B, respectively. X-rays were used to assess the stone clearance rate on the first operative day in both study groups. Stones were cleared in group-A at 87.5% (n=35) and in group B at 82.5% (n=33). Nephrostomy was needed in group A at 50.0% (n=20) and in group B at 47.5% (n=19). Conclusion: The stone clearance rate and the need for a nephrostomy tube were nearly similar in both intervention groups.

Background: Birth asphyxia, a burdening pathology, is responsible for a great number of neonatal deaths. Besides targeting vital organs of the body, the associated systemic oxygen deprivation is responsible for the hemodynamic rearrangement and, consequently, the development of various coagulopathies. The present study is aimed to assess the alteration in the coagulation profile of babies born with birth asphyxia. Methodology: A six-month cross-sectional research on newborns (with a gestational age of 30 to 42 weeks and birth asphyxia) was conducted in a hospital setting. A total of 96 newborns meeting the inclusion criteria were considered for the study. The blood samples were collected for the determination of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and international normalized ratio (INR). Results: The studied cohort comprised 54 (54.2%) females, and the mean age of the newborns was 12.53 ± 3.58 hours. The mean PT and APTT in the asphyxic newborns were 22.58 ± 10.22 and 37.67 ±10.25 seconds, respectively, while the INR was 2.12 ± 0.96. The deranged PT and APTT were observed in 60 (62.5%) and 32 (33.3%) newborns. The deranged INR was observed in 21 (21.9%). Further, the maternal use of antiepileptics and anticoagulant drugs was not traced in any studied subjects. Conclusion: A significant number of newborns with birth asphyxia presented with a deranged coagulation profile. However, the maximum frequency for derangement was obtained for the PT, followed by the APTT.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the national health services (NHS) had to adopt certain measures to amicably respond to the pandemic on the domestic front. Among these was the suspension of direct patient and physician interface to the extent possible, and the consultations were minimized to telecommunication. This review article aims to share the critical insights of current urgent care practice at the forefront of the advanced practice agenda that deals with complex issues both systematically and creatively, makes sound judgments in the absence of complete data, and communicates conclusions. Moreover, this review also highlights the originality in the application of knowledge, together with a practical understanding of local and national policy and drivers to support and develop an advanced practice that helps to critically evaluate current research and advanced scholarship in advanced practice.

Moreover, this review also highlights the originality in the application of knowledge, together with a practical understanding of local and national policy and drivers to support and develop an advanced practice that helps to critically evaluate current research and advanced scholarship in advanced practice.","PeriodicalId":34196,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Endorsing Health Science Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43717539","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}

Background: The susceptibility of the most common causative pathogens drives empiric initial antibiotic therapy for bacterial infections. This cross-sectional study was conducted to detect the infection trends and antibiotic susceptibility patterns of patients attending the Burdwan medical college and hospital (BMCH), West Bengal. Methodology: A prospective study was conducted for six months, from August 2021 to January 2022, at the department of microbiology (BMCH), West Bengal. Isolation of bacteria and fungus was performed from clinical samples obtained from patients attending the department of the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) of BMCH. A total of 84 samples were collected from patients with suspected ENT infections. Types of samples taken include pus, fluid, tissue, and throat, nasal, and ear swabs. Results: Bacterial growth was observed in 55(65.47%), of which gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial isolates were found in 31(56.36%) and 21(38.18%) samples, respectively. 3(5.45%) gram-positive bacilli were grown, and 14(16.66%) samples were positive for fungal growth. Conclusion: Antibiogram of gram-positive isolates showed maximum susceptibility to vancomycin and least to ciprofloxacin, whereas gram-negative isolates showed maximum susceptibility to amikacin and least to ciprofloxacin.
