Movements of the cervical spine were equally limited in all directions, causing marked aggravation of pain. There was no focal neurologic loss. Her inflammatory markers were markedly raised.Results: Based on radiography, she was diagnosed with Crowned Dens syndrome and started on oral prednisolone, paracetamol, and tizanidine along with topical diclofenac. Oral NSAIDs were contraindicated due to her renal insufficiency.Conclusion: Crowned Dens Syndrome (CDS) is a rare cause of neck pain. Clinicians should consider this syndrome in their differential diagnosis. Timely diagnosis and treatment of CDS will lead to avoidance of unnecessary investigations and medications in such patients, along with a reduction in the length of stay.","PeriodicalId":30637,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Health Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131370","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}

All participants gave informed consent and underwent interviews on demography, clinical features, long-COVID questionnaire, and neurological examination. Participants underwent cognitive examination (MOCA-INA), Chalder Fatigue Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess CI, CFS, and PSQ variables. Chi-Square analysis was performed to determine the probability of neurological long COVID-19 syndrome manifestations using SPSS 24.0.Results: Of the 127 participants recruited, 67.7% were women, median (IQR) age of 33 (21-65) years, and time from hospitalization to examination of nine months (1-13). The most common neurological Long COVID symptoms were PSQ (59.8. %), CFS (51.2%), and CI (33.9%). Participants with more than five acute phase COVID-19 symptoms had a higher probability of CFS and CI (OR 2.38 (1, 16-4.9, CI 95%); OR 2.20 (1.01-4.79, CI 95%)) than those with less than five symptoms. The study did not find a significant correlation between sleep quality and number of acute-phase COVID-19 symptoms (OR 1.56 (0.76-3.20, CI 95%)).Conclusion: Almost two-thirds of the COVID-19 survivors experienced PSQ, more than half had CFS, and almost one-third had CI. The study revealed an increasing likelihood of CFS and CI in COVID-19 survivors as the number of acute COVID-19 symptoms increases.","PeriodicalId":30637,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Health Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131172","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}

Patients were divided into Group S (receiving succinylcholine) and Group R (receiving rocuronium). In all patients, the quality of intubating conditions was assessed. Excellent or good conditions were considered to be acceptable intubating conditions, whereas fair and poor conditions were considered unacceptable.Results: Mean age, weight, gender distribution, and ASA grades were comparable in both groups. The overall quality of intubation was found to be better in group S than in group R, and the difference was statistically significant (P=0.004). The duration of action was significantly longer in group R than in group S (P<0.001). Hemodynamic stability was comparable in both the groups, except for heart rate at 10 min, which was higher in Group R than in Group S.

Method: During the period of the study from July 2020 to June 2021, 371 COVID-19 patients were treated at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital. These patients were divided into two groups based on the WHO critera into severe COVID-19 with clinical signs such as severe acute respiratory syndrome to respiratory failure and non-severe cases with no respiratory symptoms. Data analyzed were Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT), International Normalized Ratio (INR), fibrinogen, D-dimer, and platelet count.Results: Median INR was significantly higher in patients with severe cases than in non-severe cases (1.04 vs. 0.94, p<0.001), which was also true for median PT (12.3 vs. 12.0 sec, p=0.030) and median fibrinogen (522 vs. 428.5 mg/dl, p=0.004). Similarly, the median D-dimer was significantly higher in severe patients (1.91 vs. 0.75 mg/dl, p<0.001). Median aPTT and platelet count were in normal limits for both severe and non-severe COVID-19 patients (28.6 vs. 29.15 sec, p>0.652 and 246 vs. 242 x103/mm3, p>0.924, respectively).Conclusions: The INR, PT, fibrinogen, and D-dimer can be considered as features that can be used to predict the severity of the disease and to choose the proper treatment for COVID-19 patients.","PeriodicalId":30637,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Health Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131171","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}

Through multistage stratified cluster sampling, 12 districts were selected from 12 divisions. Respondents were selected randomly and were interviewed using a questionnaire.Results: Structural equation modeling was used to test the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and explore the relationship between various variables and respondents' intention to consume alcohol. The findings suggest that attitude (β=.22, p<.001), subjective norm (β = .33, p < .001), and perceived behavior control (β =−.41, p<.001) influenced the intention to consume alcohol. In contrast, alcohol consumption was associated with intention (β=.15, p < .001), attitude (β=.20, p<.001), and perceived behavior control (β=−.32, p<.001).Conclusion: The findings demonstrated that the TPB model can be used to explore various variables that influence the intention to consume alcohol among Dayak adolescents, with attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control as the variable influencing the intention. This highlights the need for paying attention to those variables when developing age-appropriate strategies that address various social levels to curb alcohol consumption. Given the concerning rates of risky drinking and dependency, school-based health initiatives and focused screening for Dayak adolescents are crucial.","PeriodicalId":30637,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Integrated Health Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131169","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 mean levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL-cholesterol increased significantly, while the mean value of HDL-cholesterol decreased significantly in the second and third trimesters when compared to the first trimester.Conclusion: This study demonstrated abnormal lipid and thyroid metabolism.
