{"title":"Role of strain elastography in the diagnosis of superficial soft-tissue lesions","authors":"K. Harshith Gowda, G. Mishra, P. Parihar, R. Dhande, Anurag Luharia","doi":"10.4103/jdmimsu.jdmimsu_55_23","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/jdmimsu.jdmimsu_55_23","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Elastography, recent progress in the field of imaging, is an innovative approach which provides information pertaining to tissue elasticity. Charting the stiffness can be performed either by assessing the same, using the evaluation of the strain i n the mass of cells in the presence of stress or assessment of shear waves, the propagation of which is dependent on the tissue stiffness, using imaging tools. This study was done to investigate the validity of strain elastography in the diagnosis of superficial soft-tissue lesions in contrast to histopathological examination (HPE) due to the dearth of studies comparing strain elastography and HPE, particularly in the Indian context. Materials and Methods: The present longitudinal study was conducted by the Department of Radiology at AVBRH, Sawangi, Wardha, from the year 2020 to 2022. Ninety-six subjects who were diagnosed or clinically suspected superficial soft-tissue lesions irrespective of age and gender were included. All patients underwent ultrasound, elastography, and final diagnosis was confirmed with HPE. Institutional Ethical Clearance (No: DMIMS [DU]/IEC/2022/340) and before the initiation of the investigation and the recruitment of patients into the study, informed consent was obtained. Chi-square test, Mann–Whitney U-test, and Kruskal–Wallis test were the tests of significance. Results: The subjects' average age was 40.38 ± 18.95 years, and 57.3% of them were women. On HPE, 21 lesions (21.8%) were categorized as malignant and 75 lesions (77.2%) as benign. The mean strain ratio (SR) was 11.7 ± 4.8 for malignant lesions and 2.5 ± 4.6 for benign lesions. Malignant and benign lesions had a noticeable change in SR. To distinguish between malignant and benign soft-tissue lesions, an SR of >3 had a sensitivity of 95.24%, specificity of 91.89%, positive predictive value of 87.0%, and negative predictive value of 97.1%. Conclusion: SR of malignant lesions was higher than that of benign soft-tissue lesions. SRs performed better as a diagnostic tool than elasticity scores hence, SRs can be utilized as a marker to foretell a soft-tissue tumor's propensity for malignancy.","PeriodicalId":15592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences University","volume":"18 1","pages":"228 - 232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49220390","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}

Although synthetic antibiotics have proven unsuccessful against a number of pathogenic species due to rising drug resistance, attention to antimicrobials derived from plants has been evident in the recent literature. As literature is boosting about the various time-tested herbs, there are still other heritage herbs that remain away from the limelight. Hence, this review focuses on various studies that highlighted the use of herbal irrigants in place of synthetic irrigants. Search methodology involved searching PubMed and Google Scholar databases for articles that were published between 2018 and 2022, following which 13 articles were recruited for the current review.

Patient engagement corresponds with the quality of life (QoL) and satisfaction, which can be achieved by including patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in physiotherapy practice. PROMs are instruments to evaluate health outcomes from the perspective of the patient and to determine whether the management plan enhances their QoL. PROMs in regular practice offer a structured way for clinicians to track patient symptoms, determine clinical outcomes, and facilitate collaborative decision-making. During the patient assessment, it aids in establishing a consistent framework, confirming the clinical results, and ascertaining the validity of the evaluation to the desired treatment. PROM data can be collected in several ways, including in-person interviews, questionnaires, and diaries. The use of PROMs in research increases both the research process as well as the validity of its findings. Integrating PROMs into physiotherapy management is an opportunity to rightly understand the patient's QoL trajectory and broaden the range of PROMs estimated in shared decision-making. Although PROM administration by clinicians helps for tracking patients, for guiding treatment considerations, and for providing a more central viewpoint for patients, its usage remains unclear by including patients in shared decision-making. However, establishing a patient-centered, comprehensive prototype of treatment requires the regular application of authorized PROMs. Incorporation of PROMs in physiotherapy practice can facilitate a multidimensional and patient-centered evaluation of the disease, identify unfulfilled needs, direct physiotherapist attention to these needs, and better inform policymakers in the light of identifying patient goals.","PeriodicalId":15592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences University","volume":"18 1","pages":"331 - 336"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43875736","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}

Thyroid hormone has a significant effect on women's life. Its dysfunction is widespread, particularly among women over 50. Understanding how thyroid disease's clinical symptoms change with ageing is crucial when treating peri- and post-menopausal women. Considering that 30% of India's population is female, the thyroid disease epidemic appears to affect Indian women more than any other ailment. Detection of frequency of thyroid disorder in pre- and post-menopausal women and its association with menopausal symptoms. This scoping review was done using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses-extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. Database searches in Pub Med, Web of Science, and Scopus were done. The research question was clarified and modified using keywords. After database searches 10 relevant articles were obtained and were included in this study. A meta-analysis method and extra analytical research carried out in tertiary care center were used to synthesize the findings. Compilation of data extracted from different previous studies done which showed frequency of thyroid hormone changes in women in pre- and post-menopausal age groups from which the conclusion of the present study made. This scoping review highlighted that thyroid hormone dysfunction needs to be correlated to menopausal symptoms. As thyroid hormone dysfunction is common in peri- and post-menopausal age groups, which was seen in many articles that we have reviewed, its correlation to menopausal symptoms is more important. Thyroid disorders can be detected and treated early and improve quality of life. Future research on this correlation is required which was not found in current articles.","PeriodicalId":15592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences University","volume":"18 1","pages":"327 - 330"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49467140","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}

Materials and Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among the individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment at our center. We included participants aged 18 and above who underwent orthodontic treatment for at least 6 months or more and those willing to participate. We excluded participants whose orthodontic treatment started elsewhere and participants with syndromes. A specially designed self-administered questionnaire in English was developed, which included information on age, sex, education, duration of orthodontic treatment, number of orthodontic brackets detached, frequency, and reasons. Personality Inventory for DSM-5 Brief Form (PID-5-BF) for adults was used to evaluate the personality traits of the participant. Results: One hundred and thirty-four individuals completed this study, of which 43.3% were males (mean age: 21.29 ± 3.23). The incidence of OBD was 32.1%. The mean duration of the treatment was significantly higher among those with OBD than those without OBD (P = 0.007). However, there were no significant differences in the mean domain scores and total scores of PID-5-BF between the individuals with or without OBD. It was seen that the duration of orthodontic treatment was significantly associated with OBD (odds ratio = 1.07; 95% confidence interval = 1.02–1.12).

The role of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in gastrointestinal malignancy is pivotal, as it provides high-resolution images for accurate preoperative staging of gastrointestinal tumors and can help in the surgical management of patients. Aim and Objectives: The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of MDCT in the evaluation of gastrointestinal malignancy, to differentiate between benign and malignant gastrointestinal disorders, and to stage a malignant lesion preoperatively. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted at the Radiodiagnosis Department of AVBRH, a teaching hospital of DMIHER, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha. It was a prospective cross-sectional study. A purposive convenience sampling method with a desired sample size of 50 participants for the study was conducted over a duration of 2 years. Results: Our study included 51 subjects, of which the majority, 32 (62.75%), were male, and the rest, 19 (37.25%), were female. Among the study population, 46 (90.2%) were malignant lesions, and the rest, 5 (9.8%), were benign, according to the MDCT diagnosis. The majority, i.e. 32 (62.75%) individuals, had colorectal cancer. The majority of individuals with malignancy, i.e. 46 (90.2%), had a heterogeneous pattern of gastrointestinal wall enhancement along with asymmetric wall thickening in 44 (86.27%) individuals. Segmental gastrointestinal wall involvement was seen in 35 (68.63%) individuals. Conclusion: MDCT can accurately differentiate benign and malignant diseases based on the pattern of wall thickening and offers information on any accompanying pericolic abnormalities, the existence of nodal or distant metastases, and the invasion of nearby organs. The accurate planning of surgery and patient care is made possible by the preoperative staging of malignant lesions by MDCT.","PeriodicalId":15592,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences University","volume":"18 1","pages":"199 - 205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44475060","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}
