Mantoux test and direct microscopic examination of acid-fast bacilli (AFB) by Ziehl–Neelsen staining are diagnostic and are widely being used. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Mantoux test and sputum smear examination as a diagnostic aid in latent TB. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted, among 100 suspected cases of TB, over a period of 14 months from May 2019 to June 2020. After obtaining informed consent, patients were subjected to all three diagnostic tests including the Mantoux test, sputum smear examination for AFB, and cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT). Results of Mantoux and sputum tests were compared with CBNAAT to assess the sensitivity and specificity of individual tests. Results: In our study, most of the patients (32%) belonged to the age group of 21–30 years. There was a slight female predominance in the study population (52% females and 48% males). Mantoux test was positive in 41 (41%) patients and negative in 59 (59%) patients. On sputum examination, 42 (42%) patients tested positive and 58 (58%) patients were negative. On CBNAAT, 74 (74%) samples were positive, 26 (26%) were found to be negative. The sensitivity and specificity of the Mantoux test were 49.35% and 86.95%, respectively, and 53.33% and 92%, respectively, for sputum smear examination.

A thorough understanding of the insulin administration including correct injection techniques, proper storage, insulin dose adjustment, meal timing, site rotation, and compliance are necessary for optimal treatment. Objective: The objective of the study was to assess knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of insulin use and its effects in T1DM patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational questionnaire-based survey was carried out among 105 T1DM patients at a tertiary care hospital during August to September 2020. A questionnaire consisting of 32 questions was formulated to assess the knowledge of diabetes, awareness of insulin use along with attitude and practices of insulin use. The responses were scored, converted into percentages, and summarized with descriptive statistics. Results: The mean scores in Knowledge, Attitude and Practices domains of KAP were 25.5±7.8, 2.6±3.9, and 8.9±1.7, respectively. We found deficiency of knowledge regarding type of insulins (31.4%), side effects of insulin (78%), and insulin injection sites (37%). Around 43% subjects had a negative attitude toward insulin and 35% were prone to use clumped insulin, 65% of subjects were aware of correct insulin injection techniques, and 77% were aware of correct insulin timing while 68.5% were aware of insulin handling during travel. Conclusion: There is an unmet need to enhance KAP domains of T1DM care and insulin administration, as the deficiencies in each domain are quite prevalent despite long term insulin use. Regular interactions with patients in the form of group meetings, patient to patient interaction and live demonstrations may alleviate fear of injection, poor compliance and incorrect techniques.","PeriodicalId":363370,"journal":{"name":"Eastern Journal of Medical Sciences","volume":"216 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134062643","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}

Objective: The objective of the study was to comparatively evaluate the antibacterial activity of GIC impregnated with betadine, probiotic, and chlorhexidine (CHX) powder against Streptococcus mutans. Materials and Methods: Chlorhexidine, betadine, and probiotic powder were added to GIC powder to achieve 2.5% CHX-GIC, 2.5% betadine-GIC, and 2.5% probiotic-GIC formulation. Fuji-IX GIC was used as a negative control. The powder and liquid were mixed and inserted in to the wells punched in agar plates. The antibacterial activity of cements was assessed at day 1, day 7, and day 15 using agar diffusion method. Results: There was no inhibition zone present on bacterial plates with control GIC. On day 1, mean inhibition zone against S. mutans was highest with probiotic-GIC (11.70±0.48 mm), followed by betadine-GIC (10.70±0.48 mm) and CHX-GIC (2.70±1.9 mm). On day 7, mean inhibition zone with probiotic-GIC was 5.30±0.83 mm, betadine-GIC was 3.50±0.71 mm, and CHX-GIC was 1.8±1.03 mm. No inhibition zone was observed with any group on day 15. Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a significant difference in the inhibition zones on day 1 and day 7 with probiotic-GIC (p=0.0001) and betadine-GIC (p=0.001). Significant difference was observed between groups using Kruskal–Wallis test and post hoc Bonferroni tests (p<0.05). Conclusion: Probiotic-GIC, betadine GIC is more effective against S. mutans.

The adenoma detection rate (ADR) is recognized as an important quality measure for colonoscopy. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate and compare the ADR during colonoscopy among surgeons and gastroenterologists. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective analysis, all colonoscopies performed during July 2018–July 2019 at Caboolture Hospital, Queensland, Australia were included in the study. After considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the rate of sessile polyp detection among the gastroenterologist versus surgeons was investigated by calculating a correlation coefficient weighted by factors such as experience, colonoscopy intubation time, and removal of scopes. Results: A total of 3425 colonoscopies performed by 7 surgeons and 4 gastroenterologists were assessed. Among them, 58.7% colonoscopies were performed by the surgeons, while gastroenterologists performed 41.3% colonoscopies. The median age of patients was 56.5 years (25–88 years), more common in male than female (58.9% and 41.1%, respectively, p<0.0001). The average withdrawal time among the surgeons and gastroenterologist was 8.05 and 8.54 min, respectively (p=0.02). Mean cecal intubation rate among the surgeons and gastroenterologist was 94.7% and 97.4%, respectively. Most patients had adequate bowel preparations; however, poor bowel preparation was observed among 6.15% gastroenterology patients and 5.6% in surgical patients. Conclusion: Based on the longer withdrawal time and improved skillset, sessile serrated polyp detection rate during colonoscopy was higher among the gastroenterologist as compared to the surgeons.","PeriodicalId":363370,"journal":{"name":"Eastern Journal of Medical Sciences","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130113566","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}

However, it is also associated with potential hazards of radiation especially among radiation practitioners. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the effects of NM exposure doses of bone scintigraphy in red blood cells and to propose a recent technology to be incorporated in NM and radiology technologies. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was carried out among 75 patients who underwent bone scintigraphy between 2014 and 2018. A blood sample of these patients was characterized using transmitted light microscope and obtained data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: There was a decrease in the RBCs% and hemoglobin (HGb) count with the increment of interval time of bone scintigraphy (p=0.3). The average applied radioactive (Methylene Di-phosphate/Technetium-99m) dose of 15±2.9 mCi reduces RBCs and HGb count insignificantly by 3.56% and 3.1%, respectively. With an increased dose of 20±5.8 mCi and after interval time of bone scintigraphy, the histological changes in RBCs such as loss of biconcavity, increased diameter (10±0.4 ?m), developed spikes (anisocytosis and poikilocytosis) were observed.
