Therefore, there is a need to find measures to reduce the anxiety levels without causing any side-effects. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of music on the anxiety level of the patients who were undergoing periodontal flap surgery. Objective: The objective of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of music therapy on adult patients undergoing periodontal flap surgery. Methods: Ten patients admitted to the department of periodontics for periodontal surgery were recruited for this study. These patients were provided with a questionnaire including Corah Dental Anxiety Scale, prior to the periodontal surgical procedure. Vital signs (diastolic and systolic blood pressure and pulse) were also recorded before and after the procedure. Patients were asked to fill out a short questionnaire about their experience after the procedure. Results were collected and statistically analyzed. Results: Overall, the evidence points to good results for music and patient satisfaction. Indeed, the overall heart rate and blood pressure decreased over the duration of treatment. When patients were asked whether they felt relaxed as compared to the time they entered the clinic, 90% of the patients said “yes.” When patients were asked about the reduction of pain 70% of them said “yes.” When patients were asked about their experience on music therapy, most of them graded it as “Good.” Conclusion: Music can help people in being more at ease during dental care. It was found to be a non-pharmacological sedative and anxiolytic that was cost-effective, painless, and had no side-effects.","PeriodicalId":15571,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences","volume":"19 1","pages":"281 - 287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87642021","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 homeostatic process is disrupted. The rate of bone resorption is faster than the rate of bone turnover. Osteoporosis causes bone to become porous, brittle, and weak, allowing it to fracture easily under loads that would break normal bone. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted for a period of three months from June 2021 to August 2021 at a tertiary care hospital in Chennai, among the population consisting of staff nurses between one and twenty years of experience. A total of 30 staff nurses were selected for this study by a convenient sampling technique after receiving the ethical committee permissions from the institution. Results: The findings of the current study revealed that 16.7% of the respondents belong to the age group of 25–30 years and 30% of the staff nurses were in the age group of 36–40 years and 26.6% of the respondents belong to 31–35 and 41–45 respectively. With respect to the designation, majority, 25 (83%) of samples were staff nurses and 5 (17%) of samples were head nurses. Conclusion: Overall, nurses have little to moderate awareness of osteoporosis, according to the findings. As a result, nurses must make more efforts to improve their understanding of osteoporosis prevention and treatment in order to provide better patient care.","PeriodicalId":15571,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences","volume":"398 1","pages":"333 - 335"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77724199","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}

On electrocardiogram (ECG), an accelerated idio-ventricular rhythm was identified with the absence of P wave and borderline QRS complex duration. However, his electrolytes were normal, qualitative troponin T was negative, echocardiography ruled out structural cardiac anomalies, and coronary arteries had no occlusion in angiogram. In the absence of any identifiable cause, the recent alcohol intake history made us to measure his serum amylase and lipase levels, and surprisingly, the levels were more than three times the upper value. Additionally, his ultrasound of the abdomen depicted bulky pancreatic head, and thus, the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis was made.

The aim of our study was to compare the ease of intubation using a McCoy laryngoscope and CMAC® videolayngoscope using the Adnets Intubation Difficulty Scale (IDS) score in an anticipated difficult airway (modified Mallampati grade III and grade IV). Methods: Sixty patients belonging to the American Society of Anaesthesiologists physical status I, II, or III with modified Mallampati grade III and IV undergoing elective surgeries requiring tracheal intubation were randomly allocated into the McCoy group (n = 30) and CMAC® videolaryngoscope group (n = 30). The primary outcome of the study was to compare the ease of intubation between the McCoy laryngoscope and CMAC® videolaryngoscope using Adnet's Intubation Difficulty Scale (IDS) score. Secondary outcomes included time for glottic visualization, time to intubation, total intubation time, hemodynamic and any adverse events. Results: Comparison of both groups showed that CMAC® videolaryngoscope had a significantly (P = 0.028) lower IDS score (1.667) compared to the McCOY laryngoscope (2.467). Time to view glottis (P = 0.002), time to intubate (P = 0.009), and total intubation time (P = 0.002) were significantly prolonged with CMAC® videolaryngoscope compared to the McCoy laryngoscope. There was no difference in the hemodynamic response and adverse events between the groups. Conclusion: Our study concludes that although the time to intubate was prolonged in CMAC® videolaryngoscopy, the ease of intubation was better with CMAC videolaryngoscope compared to the McCoy laryngoscope. Hence, we suggest CMAC® videolaryngoscope for anticipated difficult tracheal intubation.","PeriodicalId":15571,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences","volume":"23 1","pages":"288 - 294"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81507391","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}

Early initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) can have a major impact on the overall well-being of HIV-inflicted patients helping them to live a functionally independent life. Aim: The purpose of our study was to determine the short-term impact of ART on the QOL and nutritional status of retropositive patients. Methods: A prospective study was conducted in the Department of General Medicine, Functionally Integrated Anti-retroviral Therapy (FIART) area on 60 ART-naive retropositive patients who were assessed for improvement in nutritional status and QOL domains after 3 months of ART. Results: The patients were assessed before and after the initiation of therapy and showed improvement in the anthropometric parameters along with improvement in the QOL which was assessed using the six domains using the World Health Organization (WHO) questionnaire. Both the parameters were compared on the basis of gender, education, and socioeconomic class. Male patients with higher education and those belonging to higher socioeconomic strata showed better improvement as compared to others.

This sole use, however, has prevented the utility of other platelet indices like Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) and Platelet Distribution Width (PDW) from being explored. Objectives: To study the association of MPV and PDW with the disease severity in patients with dengue fever. Materials and Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary care centre of Northern India for a period of one year. A total of 100 patients with confirmed dengue infection who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were followed from the day of admission to recovery. Clinical and laboratory findings, including platelet parameters were noted. They were classified on the basis of World Health Organization (WHO) 2009 criteria, and MPV and PDW values were correlated in each category. Pearson correlation analysis was performed for correlation identification between platelet indices and disease severity. Results: 64% patients with dengue fever had a low MPV (<9.0 fl). An increased PDW (>13 fl) was observed in 77% cases. A significant correlation was observed between low MPV and platelet count in severe dengue (P value <0.01). Strongest correlation was observed between low MPV and severe dengue (r value 0.745). No significant correlation was witnessed between PDW and severity of infection. Conclusion: Mean platelet volume may serve as an additional laboratory marker to predict severe dengue infection, but PDW is inferior in delineating the disease severity.","PeriodicalId":15571,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences","volume":"28 1","pages":"328 - 332"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84115871","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}
