Thereby, there is an immense need to take care of all safety precautions for the surgery listed by the World Health Organization (WHO). Aim and Objectives: The aim is (1) To study the impact of the implementation of a surgical safety checklist on patient safety. (2) To study the compliance of the surgical team to the implementation of a surgical safety checklist following an education program. Materials and Methods: The present study is a prospective randomized controlled study conducted at Santosh Medical College and Hospital, Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh). The study was conducted from December 2019 to November 2020. Results: More than half of the standards were above 50% implemented in the operation theaters. Of the standards of before skin incisions, above 50% of them were not implemented. However, of the implemented standards, >75% were followed. In addition, the standards of before any member of the team left the operating room, above 75% of them were appropriately implemented in our setup. Conclusion: We conclude that the use of the WHO checklist prevents complications and reduces the inhospital length of stay, changes in morbidity, and potentially mortality as well across a wide range of patients undergoing simple or complex surgical procedures in hospitals within a well-developed and funded health-care system.","PeriodicalId":326476,"journal":{"name":"Santosh University Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133193910","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}

Gambhir","doi":"10.4103/sujhs.sujhs_1_22","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/sujhs.sujhs_1_22","url":null,"abstract":"Dermatoglyphic Patterns and Skeletal Malocclusion: Dermatoglyphics is the study of the intricate dermal patterns found on the skin of the palmar and plantar surfaces of the hands and feet. The term dermatoglyphics means “skin carving.” He has proven to be of predictive value for both genetic and nongenetic diseases in the medical field. It has been noted that the period of embryonic development for oral and dermal tissues overlaps. Thus, any impact on the development of oral tissues during this period may also represent itself in the dermatoglyphic patterns. Aim: Keeping this in mind, the present study was designed to investigate the correlation between malocclusions and representation in dermatoglyphic patterns. Materials and Methodology: A total of 90 subjects were selected for the study. Thirty cases each of Class I, Class II, and Class III skeletal malocclusions were selected from the age group of 13–18 years of age with permanent molars present. Lateral cephalograms were taken and their dermatoglyphic patterns were recorded by rolling impression technique. The dermatoglyphic data were assessed for different finger ridge patterns and total ridge count (TRC). Results: On comparison of dermatoglyphic patterns between skeletal Class I, II, and III, the skeletal Class I group showed a markedly decreased number of loops and increased TRC. In the skeletal Class II group, we found markedly increased number of loops and markedly decreased TRC. In the skeletal Class III group, we observed a markedly decreased number of arches and increased TRC. Loops were found to be the most predominant pattern in the skeletal Class II and III groups. The mean TRC was found to be increased in the skeletal Class III group, followed by the Class I group and markedly decreased in the skeletal Class II group, which was statistically significant. Conclusion: It is concluded that dermatoglyphics can be used as a screening tool and for the early prediction of skeletal malocclusion at a younger age group. Dermatoglyphics have important practical and clinical implications which can be applied for preventive and interceptive orthodontics among pediatric patients and also for parent counseling.","PeriodicalId":326476,"journal":{"name":"Santosh University Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130868090","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}

There has been some communication throwing light on the possible false-positive results in COVID cases, but overall there is a dearth of studies directly investigating the association. This is a small-sized observational cohort study to detect and analyze the association between these two conditions. Materials and Methods: During a period of 1 month, starting from April 1, 2021, to April 30, 2021, all patients admitted with a Reverse Transcriptase- Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)- positive report for SARS-CoV-2 to a nursing home in Ghaziabad were prescribed typhidot immunoglobulin M (IgM) test. Other parameters such as the radiological computed tomography score, hemoglobin levels, total leukocyte counts, serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase enzyme levels, and the cycle threshold values of the RT-PCR test were recorded. The data thus collected were entered into a structured electronic data collection system and analyzed. Results: Thirty-seven percent of patients who were admitted with a diagnosis of RT-PCR-positive mild-to-moderate COVID pneumonia were also positive for typhoid IgM antibody. The distribution of this positive typhidot test was equal among both genders and was not found to be significantly associated with any of the other test variables. Conclusion: Our study reveals the anamnestic response of typhoid IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. A positive typhidot test should not mislead or delay the diagnosis of any other viral respiratory illness.","PeriodicalId":326476,"journal":{"name":"Santosh University Journal of Health Sciences","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129124088","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}

Ocular trauma constitutes a major part of preventable blindness. The following study was done to identify the demographic profile of the patients and nature of ocular trauma for developing acceptable methods for better management and early visual rehabilitation of patients. Aim: The aim was to study various demographic patterns and manifestations of ocular injuries. Methods: This hospital-based prospective study was carried out in the Department of Ophthalmology. One hundred cases of ocular trauma were included, and written consents were obtained. A detailed history specific to age, occupation, time of injury, type of object causing injury, and socioeconomic status of the patient was obtained through prestructured pretested pro forma. A detailed ocular examination along with a systemic examination was carried out. Results: In the present study, 24% of the cases were in the age group of 40–50 years. Sixty-five percent of the population was male. Thirty-one percent of the population presented within 24 h of trauma, 61% within 3 days, and 25% presented after 7 days. Ninety-five percent of the patients had unilateral trauma and 5% had bilateral trauma. Sixty-two percent of the patients had suffered from road traffic accidents, 25% had work-related trauma, whereas, in 13% of cases, trauma was at home. Blunt objects, foreign bodies, and sharp objects were the top three causes of trauma, accounting for 26%, 23%, and 15% of trauma cases, respectively; it was found that the anterior segment was involved in 74% of cases, the posterior segment in 4% of cases, and combined injury was in 22% of the cases.
