Purpose: The recent COVID-19 pandemic has caused temporary or permanent anosmia and ageusia in thousands of people. It was occasionally associated with a loss of nociception in the mouth too. A specific pattern of sensory loss or alteration is imperative to understand and predict the modality of the infection. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed, which included 252 participants of all age groups and communities. A questionnaire was circulated on social media through the means of a Google Form. Consent was obtained before posing the participants with questions. Results: The sensory loss was found to be the most prevalent in people with mild symptoms. About 65.2% of the participants showed a partial or a total loss in olfaction and 59.5% of them showed a loss in one or more tastes. About 44% of the participants showed a partial or a total loss of nociception. All of the altered sensations came back to normalcy after 2 weeks of the loss of sensation in the majority of the population. Besides the other symptoms, 15.5% of the participants experienced altered mental alertness. Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2 infection was found to affect the olfaction, gustation, and nociception in the oral cavity (spice sensation). Mental alertness was also found to be altered in a small fraction of the population affected with SARS-CoV-2.
目的:最近的新冠肺炎大流行已导致数千人暂时或永久性嗅觉缺失和老年痴呆。它偶尔也会与口腔失去伤害感有关。为了了解和预测感染的形式,必须有一种特定的感觉丧失或改变模式。材料和方法:进行了一项横断面研究,包括252名来自所有年龄组和社区的参与者。通过谷歌表格在社交媒体上分发了一份问卷。在向参与者提出问题之前,获得了同意。结果:感觉丧失在症状较轻的人群中最为普遍。约65.2%的参与者表现出部分或全部嗅觉丧失,59.5%的参与者表现为一种或多种味觉丧失。大约44%的参与者表现出部分或完全丧失了伤害感受。大多数人在失去感觉2周后,所有改变的感觉都恢复了正常。除了其他症状外,15.5%的参与者还经历了精神警觉性的改变。结论:严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型感染可影响口腔的嗅觉、味觉和伤害性(味觉)。在一小部分严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2型感染人群中,精神警觉性也发生了改变。

Background: Cancer is a group of diseases with different causes, manifestations, treatment, and prognosis, characterized with an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cell. In women; cancer of the breast is the second most common cancer after cervical cancer and the second leading cancer's death following lung cancer among women in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Nigeria, it has become the most common female malignancy with a prevalence of 12.5%. However, the same treatment that offers better cure rates may also result in a serious decrease in quality of life, psychological problems, as well as provoking changes in their bodies. Societal behavior towards breast cancer patients makes a woman that is newly diagnosed with breast cancer become tearful, ashamed, and discouraged. Aims: To examine breast cancer, body image and the roles of the male partner. Methods: The data for this review paper are from published studies. Electronic databases of Medline, Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, and Google Scholar were searched using the keywords: breast cancer, body image, roles of the male partner and literature were retrieved and screened for eligibility. The date limit considered in the literature search was from 2016-2021 to capture only the variables identified in this seminar objective. The author defined the topic of interest and the goal was to address the objective of the seminar topic. Results: Four themes (issues) emerged which are: (1) The Model of Whole-Person Caring, (2) Disturbed Body Image, (3) Psycho-Social Impact of Breast Cancer and (4) Roles of the Male Partner. Conclusion: Breast cancer poses a significant financial and psychosocial burden not only on patients, but also on their spouses, families, and broader social network. Breast cancer disease usually changes spousal roles as the women's husbands take over their responsibilities. The disease influenced both partners and made stress a common factor shared by them. Husband plays a vital role in the lives of breast cancer patients through managing the finance, decision-making, providing emotional support, and remaining involved throughout the disease. Therefore, involving the husband in planned psycho-social interventions produces better results than merely patient-focused strategies. Male partners have a great role to play and should be encouraged and allow partaking in the treatment process of their spouses as this will positively influence their recovery.
背景:癌症是一组具有不同病因、表现、治疗和预后的疾病,其特征是异常细胞生长失控。女性;癌症是继癌症之后第二常见的癌症,也是继癌症之后第二大癌症死亡原因。在尼日利亚,它已成为最常见的女性恶性肿瘤,患病率为12.5%。然而,提供更好治愈率的相同治疗也可能导致生活质量的严重下降、心理问题,并引发她们身体的变化。对癌症患者的社会行为使一位新诊断患有癌症的女性泪流满面,羞愧不已,心灰意冷。目的:探讨癌症患者的身体形象及男性伴侣的作用。方法:本综述的数据来自已发表的研究。检索Medline、Scopus、PubMed、CINAHL和Google Scholar的电子数据库,检索关键词为:乳腺癌症、身体图像、男性伴侣的角色和文献,并进行资格筛选。文献检索中考虑的日期限制为2016-2021年,仅涵盖本研讨会目标中确定的变量。作者定义了感兴趣的主题,目的是解决研讨会主题的目标。结果:出现了四个主题(问题):(1)全人护理模式,(2)身体形象紊乱,(3)癌症对心理社会的影响,(4)男性伴侣的角色。结论:癌症不仅对患者,而且对其配偶、家庭和更广泛的社会网络造成了巨大的经济和心理负担。癌症乳腺癌通常会改变配偶的角色,因为女性的丈夫会接管她们的责任。这种疾病影响了伴侣双方,并使压力成为他们共同的因素。丈夫在癌症患者的生活中发挥着至关重要的作用,通过管理财务、决策、提供情感支持以及在整个疾病中保持参与。因此,让丈夫参与有计划的心理社会干预比仅仅以患者为中心的策略产生更好的效果。男性伴侣可以发挥重要作用,应该鼓励并允许他们参与配偶的治疗过程,因为这将对他们的康复产生积极影响。

V. Jha, D. Mahapatra
Despite perceived disadvantage of percutaneous continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis catheter placement compared to its surgical placement, complications are very rare if done by a trained nephrologist under fluoroscope guidance. We present a case of end stage renal disease whose peritoneal dialysis catheter position was confirmed through fluoroscope initially but subsequently developed urinary urgency after initiation of peritoneal dialysis and detected to be bladder perforation which required laparoscopic repair.
尽管与手术放置相比,经皮连续非卧床腹膜透析导管的放置存在明显的缺点,但如果由训练有素的肾脏病学家在荧光镜指导下进行,并发症非常罕见。我们报告了一例终末期肾病,其腹膜透析导管的位置最初通过荧光镜检查得到确认,但随后在腹膜透析开始后出现尿急,并被检测为膀胱穿孔,需要腹腔镜修复。

Background: Diabetes is a disease of public concern with increasing hospital admissions and mortality in developing countries. Hence, we aimed to determine the patterns of in-hospital morbidity and mortality in patients admitted for diabetes. Methods: A prospective multicenter analysis of the causes of hospital admission and death among patients with type 2 diabetes who were admitted from diabetic clinic and emergency units over a 3-month period in selected tertiary hospitals in southwest, Nigeria was conducted. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS version 21.0. Results: A total of 341 patients with diabetes were admitted with a mean age of 59.6 ± 15.6 years and overall mortality of 14 deaths (4.4%). Almost three-fifths (59.5%) were previously known patients with diabetes with a mean duration of 52.44 ± 30.02 months. Two hundred and thirty-one (70.9%) patients were admitted through the emergency units and others through outpatient clinics. The duration of hospital stay ranged from 1 to 135 days, with a mean duration of 24.5 ± 14.7 days. The diabetes-related indications for admission were hyperglycemic crisis (diabetes ketoacidosis [DKA] and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state [HHS]) (59.8%), diabetic foot ulcer [DFU], (11.7%), hypoglycemia (7.6%), and infections (7.3%). Among the diabetes-related diagnoses, 100%, 77.8%, 50.0%, 41.7%, and 28.3% of patients with chronic kidney disease, stroke, DFU, DKA, and HHS respectively stayed longer than 10 days on admission. Conclusion: Diabetes still contributes high cause of morbidity in our hospitals but with a reduced mortality compared to previously reported figure. Hence, continued emphasis on early diagnosis with improvements in diabetes care will help to improve diabetes outcomes.
背景:糖尿病是一种公众关注的疾病,在发展中国家住院人数和死亡率不断增加。因此,我们旨在确定因糖尿病入院的患者的住院发病率和死亡率模式。方法:对尼日利亚西南部选定的三级医院在3个月内从糖尿病诊所和急诊室入院的2型糖尿病患者的入院和死亡原因进行前瞻性多中心分析。数据分析采用SPSS 21.0版软件进行。结果:共有341名糖尿病患者入院,平均年龄为59.6±15.6岁,总死亡率为14例(4.4%)。近五分之三(59.5%)的患者是以前已知的糖尿病患者,平均病程为52.44±30.02个月。231名(70.9%)患者通过急诊室入院,其他患者通过门诊入院。住院时间为1-135天,平均住院时间为24.5±14.7天。糖尿病相关的入院指征为高血糖危象(糖尿病酮症酸中毒和高血糖高渗状态)(59.8%)、糖尿病足溃疡(11.7%)、低血糖(7.6%)和感染(7.3%),和HHS分别在入院时停留超过10天。结论:在我们的医院中,糖尿病仍然是高发病率的原因,但与之前报道的数字相比,死亡率有所降低。因此,继续强调早期诊断并改善糖尿病护理将有助于改善糖尿病的预后。

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 responsible for the pandemic of COVID-19 has been one of the biggest challenges faced by humankind. The virus predominantly affects the respiratory system. However, the continued study of the disease since the beginning of this pandemic has evolved our understanding of COVID-19 which showed varied presentations with multisystem involvement, leading to acute myocardial infarction, stroke, pulmonary embolism due to its prothrombotic nature as well as acute kidney injury (AKI). Objectives: (1) To determine the incidence of AKI in COVID-19 (2) To correlate AKI with the outcome of the COVID-19 patients. Materials and Methods: The present study involves 200 patients who were suffering from COVID-19 admitted to a hospital in Bengaluru during the period of June 2020–May 2021, fulfilling the inclusion criteria were analyzed and appropriate data were collected after obtaining informed consent. Results: Majority of the subjects belonged to >50 years of age group. Among the recruited subjects, 117 (58.5%) were male and 83 (41.5%) were female, 170 patients were discharged and 30 patients died. The mean urea levels were 37.82 ± 23.68 mg/dl and mean creatinine values were 0.95 ± 0.85 mg/dl. The urea levels among the COVID-19 patients who were discharged was 35.98 ± 20.27 mg/dl and among those who died was 52.22 ± 38.01 mg/dl, respectively, and this was statistically significant (P = 0.00). The creatinine levels were 0.88 ± 0.44 mg/dl and 1.32 ± 1.76 mg/dl among the COVID-19 patients who got discharged and expired, respectively, and this too was statistically significant (P = 0.00). Conclusion: The patients suffering from COVID-19 who had developed AKI at the time of presentation had a poor prognosis as well as increased risk of mortality.
背景:导致新冠肺炎大流行的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2型一直是人类面临的最大挑战之一。这种病毒主要影响呼吸系统。然而,自这场大流行开始以来,对该疾病的持续研究发展了我们对新冠肺炎的理解,该疾病表现出多系统受累的不同表现,导致急性心肌梗死、中风、因其促血栓性质而导致的肺栓塞以及急性肾损伤(AKI)。目的:(1)确定新冠肺炎患者AKI的发病率(2)将AKI与新冠肺炎患者的预后联系起来。材料和方法:本研究涉及2020年6月至2021年5月期间入住班加罗尔一家医院的200名新冠肺炎患者,在获得知情同意后,对符合纳入标准的患者进行分析并收集适当的数据。结果:大多数受试者年龄在50岁以上。在招募的受试者中,117名(58.5%)为男性,83名(41.5%)为女性,170名患者出院,30名患者死亡。平均尿素水平为37.82±23.68 mg/dl,平均肌酸酐值为0.95±0.85 mg/dl。出院的新冠肺炎患者的尿素水平为35.98±20.27 mg/dl,死亡的患者为52.22±38.01 mg/dl,具有统计学意义(P=0.00)。出院和过期的新冠肺炎患者的肌酐水平分别为0.88±0.44 mg/dl和1.32±1.76 mg/dl,结论:新冠肺炎患者在发病时出现AKI,预后不良,死亡风险增加。

However, the continued study of the disease since the beginning of this pandemic has evolved our understanding of COVID-19 which showed varied presentations with multisystem involvement, leading to acute myocardial infarction, stroke, pulmonary embolism due to its prothrombotic nature as well as acute kidney injury (AKI). Objectives: (1) To determine the incidence of AKI in COVID-19 (2) To correlate AKI with the outcome of the COVID-19 patients. Materials and Methods: The present study involves 200 patients who were suffering from COVID-19 admitted to a hospital in Bengaluru during the period of June 2020–May 2021, fulfilling the inclusion criteria were analyzed and appropriate data were collected after obtaining informed consent. Results: Majority of the subjects belonged to >50 years of age group. Among the recruited subjects, 117 (58.5%) were male and 83 (41.5%) were female, 170 patients were discharged and 30 patients died. The mean urea levels were 37.82 ± 23.68 mg/dl and mean creatinine values were 0.95 ± 0.85 mg/dl. The urea levels among the COVID-19 patients who were discharged was 35.98 ± 20.27 mg/dl and among those who died was 52.22 ± 38.01 mg/dl, respectively, and this was statistically significant (P = 0.00). The creatinine levels were 0.88 ± 0.44 mg/dl and 1.32 ± 1.76 mg/dl among the COVID-19 patients who got discharged and expired, respectively, and this too was statistically significant (P = 0.00). Conclusion: The patients suffering from COVID-19 who had developed AKI at the time of presentation had a poor prognosis as well as increased risk of mortality.","PeriodicalId":8012,"journal":{"name":"APIK Journal of Internal Medicine","volume":"11 1","pages":"88 - 91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45611778","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}

Severe acute respiratory syndrome-CoV-2 infection has been known to cause an array of chronic consequences, most of which are yet to be studied in detail. These presentations are due to direct invasion of the tissues by the virus or other factors such as immune response to the virus. These sequelae affect the patient's quality of life implicating the importance of follow-up care in all coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients and changing the definition of “post-COVID-19 recovery.” Adequate preparedness for post-COVID consequences with adequate health care is need of the hour. This also warrants for the patients' awareness, stressing upon the importance of educating the general public about keeping a watch for certain symptoms. Regular screening procedures may also aid in timely prevention, recognition, and management hence reducing morbidity and mortality in the post-COVID phase.
已知严重急性呼吸综合征-冠状病毒-2感染会导致一系列慢性后果,其中大多数尚未得到详细研究。这些表现是由于病毒直接侵入组织或其他因素,如对病毒的免疫反应。这些后遗症影响患者的生活质量,这意味着对所有冠状病毒病-2019 (COVID-19)患者进行随访护理的重要性,并改变了“COVID-19后康复”的定义。当前需要为covid后的后果做好充分准备,并提供适当的卫生保健。这也保证了患者的意识,强调了教育公众注意某些症状的重要性。定期筛查程序也有助于及时预防、识别和管理,从而降低后阶段的发病率和死亡率。
