The accelerated development of the Covid-19 vaccine is thus vital development which created a milestone in the field of health. Vaccine hesitancy among the medical students and professionals might be a significant obstacles in implementing the vaccination drive programme. Objectives: 1) To assess the perception of medical students regarding COVID-19 vaccine. 2) To estimate the acceptability of COVID-19 vaccine among medical students of VIMSAR, Burla. 3) To determine the association of various factors with the perceptions and acceptability of COVID-19.Methodology: It was a cross-sectional study conducted for a period of 3months i.e August-October 2022 among the MBBS students of VIMSAR, Burla. The total sample size was 847. Results: 99.4%. of the students accepted Covid-19 as a fatal disease & almost all of the students had heard and know about COVID-19 vaccine but 93.3% among them think the vaccine will prevent the disease and build the immunity but 77.4% accept the vaccine to be safe and effective. Social media(94.3%) and news channel(94.6%) were the most common source of information for them. Covid-19 vaccine was taken by 728(86%) of students. Regarding the adverse events following immunisation only 34.4% of the students have heard it.. The 1st year batch students had least perception & acceptability on COVID-19 vaccine whereas maximum was seen among the final year students . The association between the various batches of MBBS students with the perception & acceptability on COVID-19 was found to be significant with chi-square value 123.4981 & 109.1895 respectively with P=0.001.Conclusion- Even though perception and acceptability about COVID-19 vaccine among the students is good but regarding the adverse events following immunisation many are unaware and are having lots of apprehension which could be dealt with proper sensitisation meetings.","PeriodicalId":13694,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Reviews and Case Reports","volume":"155 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88252825","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}

{"title":"Prevalence of coronary artery anomalies and arising complications during catheter guided angiography","authors":"Sibaram Panda, Sunil Sharma, M. Panda","doi":"10.5455/ijmrcr.172-1669054672","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5455/ijmrcr.172-1669054672","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Coronary artery anomalies (CAA) refer to very uncommon and unusual morphological features of the epicardial coronary artery that account for 1/5th of deaths in athletes. Patients with CAA are also prone to develop significant coronary artery disease. Identification of such arteries during catheter-guided angiography is very challenging and associated with many devastating complications like arrhythmia, heart failure, contrast-induced nephropathy, bleeding, cardio-embolic events, mechanical injury to the coronary artery, etc. Objective: To describe the prevalence of various types of coronary anomalies and the complications, that arise during catheter-guided angiography. Materials and method: A total of 2849 patients who underwent angiography (for angina or angina equivalents) at the catheterization laboratory, VIMSAR, Burla, were enrolled in the study. Angiographic records and videos of patients were noted. Coronary anomalies were detected as per quantitative and qualitative criteria provided by the American Heart Association in 2007. The anomalous coronary arteries were classified into three groups based on the guidelines: Group A—anomalies of origin and course; Group B—anomalies of intrinsic coronary arterial anatomy; and Group C—anomalies of coronary termination. Data with respect to baseline characteristics and complications are collected, compiled, and tabulated for further analysis. Result: Among 2849 enrolled patients, coronary artery anomalies were identified in 64 (2.24%) patients. Out of which, CAA with abnormal origin and course (Group A), abnormal termination (Group B), and intrinsic coronary arterial anatomy (Group C) were detected in 36 (1.26%), 4 (0.14%), and 24 (0.84%) patients, respectively. Out of 64 cases, a total of 13 (20.3%) patients developed different types of complications, like mechanical (3.125%), embolic (1.56%), and arrhythmic (4.68%), bleeding (3.12%), contrast-induced nephropathy (4.68%), left ventricular failure (3.12%), etc. In group A, complications were more commonly observed in 10 (15.6%) of the cases. Conclusion: CAA with an abnormal origin and course is the most common type of coronary anomaly. Engagement of such an artery and detection of its abnormal course are more commonly associated with life-threatening complications. The use of appropriate manoeuvres, types and size of catheter, and cine views can help to avoid disastrous complications.","PeriodicalId":13694,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Reviews and Case Reports","volume":"PP 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84861811","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}

The high clinical suspicion and early treatment are essential to prevent devastating sequelae and improve the prognosis of these patients. Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive study made with children younger than 3 months of age, admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit of a level II hospital, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2021, with early (EOI) or late-onset (LOI) neonatal GBS infection. Reviewed obstetric history, risk factors, intrapartum chemoprophylaxis (IPA), clinical manifestations, antibiotic therapy, supportive care, recurrent infection, morbidities and deaths. Results: There were 6 cases registered during 12-year period with GBS infection, 3(50%) had EOI, 3(50%) had LOI and 1 case with recurrent infection (more 2 episodes). Most cases were prematures (4/6; 67%)with average gestational age of 29weeks. Eight GBS infections were documented. In EOI, prematurity and prolonged rupture of membranes without chemoprophylaxis were identified as risk factors. The most common clinical diagnosis was meningitis (62,5%, 5/8) and sepsis/bacteriemia without a focus (37,5%, 3/8). The most used empirical therapy was ampicillin, gentamicin and cefotaxime (50%, 4/8) and the most frequent definitive therapy was Penicillin G. 4 patients needed ventilatory support and 1 needed shock and seizures treatment. In one case hydrocephalus and delayed psychomotor development (DPD) were reported and in another case DPD and eyelid ptosis were also reported. 1 death occurred. Conclusion: In our study, maternal colonization wasn’t a risk factor for EIO, because the 4 mothers who performed GBS culture (2 mothers of term newborns and 2 mothers of preterms, one with invasive disease and other with recurrent infection) were negative. We obtained a higher percentage of meningitis than previously described (62.5% vs 5-10%), probably because most patients were premature and immunosuppressed.","PeriodicalId":13694,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Reviews and Case Reports","volume":"128 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88191518","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}

A case of Littre’s hernia in a17 year old boy is reported to highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic issues confronting the attending surgeon. A short segment resection anastomosis of the small bowel along with the Meckel’s diverticulum was done. A herniorrhaphy was done with no complications. The diagnostic challenges and the dilemma of selecting the best option for removing the Meckel’s diverticulum and choice of hernia repair are discussed. Littre’s hernia is invariably diagnosed intraoperatively. A short segment resection anastomosis of the adjacent small bowel along with the Meckel’s diverticulum prevents complications arising due to the diverticulum. A herniorrhaphy for a young patient and the use of an absorbable mesh for other age groups is advisable.","PeriodicalId":13694,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Reviews and Case Reports","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80831441","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}

Discussion This child has cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD). Is an autosomal dominant disease caused by an heterozygous loss-of-function mutation in the RUNX2 gene, encoding transcription factor CBFA1, on chromosome 6p21, which plays an important role in osteogenesis and differentiation of osteoblasts. The main clinical features include persistently open skull sutures, hypoplasia or aplasia of the clavicles permitting abnormal facility in opposing the shoulders, short middle phalanx of the fifth fingers, dental anomalies (supernumerary teeth, failure of exfoliation of the primary dentition and malocclusion), pes planus, upper respiratory complications, recurrent otitis media, hearing loss and often vertebral malformation (scoliosis). Conclusion The clinical diagnosis of CCD was made during pregnancy, through the detection of aplasia of the clavicles in fetu, in association with the mother having short stature (1.32 meters), persistence of primary teeth and open anterior fontanelle. With 10 years of age, he underwent mendilioma study which revealed the mutation in the RUNX2 gene (c. 747 del (p.(Arg251 Alafs*7))) classified as a pathogenic variant.","PeriodicalId":13694,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Reviews and Case Reports","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87154628","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}
