Males constitute a very small percentage of patients who report for dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. This difference may be largely because of lack of information about risk factors for secondary osteoporosis in men. In the present study, we have tried to explore the attributes of males undergoing DEXA scan at a tertiary care center. Materials and Methods: It was a cross-sectional study conducted in males visiting the general physician outpatient department in a tertiary care institute. All study participants who were males, based on inclusion and exclusion were included in the study. DEXA scan for hip and vertebra was performed for all the participants. Results: A total of 486 males fitting the inclusion criteria were included in the study. The mean age of the study participants was 66.98 (standard deviation: 8.55) years. Fifty-six (11.52%) of these participants had hypertension and 41 (8.43%) subjects had diabetes. Patient attributes and DEXA scan parameters of hip and vertebra showed a significant negative correlation with age and positive correlation with body mass index (BMI). Stratified analysis revealed that only 39% of individuals with a BMI of more than 25 kg/m2 had a high risk of osteoporosis (T ≤ −2) as compared to 58.4% of individuals with a BMI of <25 kg/m2. Conclusion: Osteoporosis among men remains a neglected aspect among physicians and surgeons. The DEXA scan is available in urban centers even in the developing countries; however, the lack of knowledge about indications seems to be the major factor for not evaluating the condition at the right time.","PeriodicalId":41773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Medical Society","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136202960","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 anatomy of the chest wall is curved, which makes it difficult to achieve a homogeneous dose; therefore, it is essential to know the technique by which we can render a better treatment. Methods: The three-dimensional field-in-field (FIF) technique for radiotherapy is an advanced state-of-the-art method that uses multileaf collimators to generate a homogeneous and conformal dose distribution through segmental subfields. The planning computer tomography (CT) scans of 30 women with left-sided breast cancer previously treated with whole breast RT on an inclined breast board with both arms supported above the head were retrieved. The whole-breast planning target volume (PTV) was defined by clinical markup and contoured on all relevant CT slices as were the OARs. For each patient, two plans were generated using FIF and five-field inverse-planned IMRT, with a prescription dose of 50 Gy in 25 fractions to the whole breast. The mean and maximum doses to the OARs, conformity index, and homogeneity index (HI) of the whole-breast PTV were compared. Results: The FIF technique significantly reduced the maximum dose of the PTV as well as the mean doses of the heart, ipsilateral lung, contralateral lung, esophagus, and contralateral breast (P < 0.001 for each). When the organ at risk volumes irradiated with 10, 20, 30, and 40 Gy were compared, the results were in favor of the FIF technique. The volume receiving <20 Gy of the prescription dose for the ipsilateral lung was significantly decreased using the FIF technique (P < 0.001). The FIF technique allowed us more homogenous dose distribution. Conclusions: FIF resulted in a lower mean heart and contralateral breast dose with comparable HI of the whole-breast PTV compared to inverse-planned IMRT using five fields. These results with significantly fewer monitor units essential for therapy in FIF suggest that this technique may be more advantageous during breast irradiation.","PeriodicalId":41773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Medical Society","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136203534","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}

Assessment of learning behavior and perspectives of students toward COVID-19 pandemic is essential for effective medical education as well as to assess their role in pandemic if need arises. Hence, the present study aims to assess learning behavior and perspective of medical students on COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from September to December 2020 among 392 medical students at various medical colleges of the country. An online self-administered questionnaire was designed to assess learning behavior of medical students about infection prevention and control practices in COVID-19 adopted during the course of pandemic. Snowball sampling method was used for data collection. Results: On assessment of 392 medical students about preventive measures during COVID-19 pandemic, more than 80% of medical students were aware of the importance of facemask, social distancing, frequent hand washing, and use of digital tools such as Aarogya Setu app in surveillance. Majority of students were aware of the symptoms, testing, and treatment protocols along with importance of self-reporting. Most of the students were aware of various sources of getting scientific and relevant information about pandemic. While majority of students were aware of rationale of quarantine, appropriate waste management technique, and post-COVID precautions, there was a lack of knowledge about appropriate disinfection measures.

Iliac bone graft was widely accepted for fusion during ACDF to the introduction of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) spacers. Even though PEEK spacers have the advantage of reducing donor-site complications, in cases with doubtful supporting ligament continuity, the long-term outcome of cervical spine stability is not confirmed. In this study, we are comparing the clinical and radiological outcomes of both substitutes. Materials and Methods: We did a retrospective analysis of 111 patients who underwent single-level ACDF using PEEK or tricortical iliac bone graft for various disc pathologies at our institution in the past 10 years along with clinical and radiological presentations and outcome of the procedure at 3 weeks, 6 months, and after 1 year. The study population was divided into two groups: Group “P” (PEEK spacer) and Group “G” (bone graft spacer). Distribution of clinical presentation in terms of radiculopathy, myelopathy, and myeloradiculopathy was evaluated and correlated with the demographic parameters. The standard deviation and P value of the radiological variables were calculated. “Mann–Whitney U-test” for the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score at 1-year follow-up and “Pearson's Chi-square” value for the Odom's score of both groups were used to analyze the correlation. Results: All the radiological parameters were analyzed by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test after checking for normality distribution. The improvements reported above in all domains were found to be statistically significant at P < 0.001. When analyzing the radiographic evidence of bony fusion at 1 year by Bridwell fusion grading, only two patients in Group P had poor fusion and all the patients in Group G had Grade 1 or 2 fusion. The clinical improvement analyzed by evaluating the ODOMS score after 1-year follow-up showed significant improvements in both groups. Conclusions: In our study, PEEK spacers have got definite advantage over iliac bone grafts in maintaining the disc segmental height, segmental angle, cervical lordosis, and fusion segment height without adding any donor-site morbidity.","PeriodicalId":41773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Medical Society","volume":"25 1","pages":"25 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42377085","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 era of endoscopic surgery replaced open pyelolithotomy or nephrolithotomy which caused a significant morbidity. During this decade we saw evolution of endoscopic surgery where Mini PCNL (Mini Perc), Ultra Mini and Micro Perc have further achieved stone clearance with better outcomes pertaining to reduced morbidity because of reduction in caliber of tract dilatation, even avoiding a nephrostomy post rocedure in select cases. Aim of this study summarizes the outcome of patients undergoing Mini Perc. The primary objective of the study was to get post-Operative evaluation of complications associated with Mini Perc by Modified Clavien Dindo Grading and secondary objectives were to see Post-Operative pain assessment by Visual Analogue scale and to see Stone clearance rate of the surgical procedure. Materials and Methods: Research was carried out in the form of a Hospital-based prospective observational study as per the guidelines shared by the Prospective Observational Clinical Studies Good Research Practices Task Force (formed May 16, 2010). Hospital-based prospective observational study of 78 consecutive patients who underwent Mini Perc between Aug 2018 and May 2020 at tertiary care centre were vetted against the criteria for inclusion and exclusion. The management policy for pelvicalyceal calculi at the study centre has closely followed those of the American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines for managing renal stones. Results: The mean age of the group was 43.3 years (range 16-84) with 47 males and 38 females. Mean stone size was 20.11 mm (range 11-38 mm) and mean operative time was 44.5 min (range 29-98 min). Double J (DJ) stent was placed in all patients as a prophylaxis to prevent obstructive uropathy / post op urinary leak. Postoperatively, the most commonly noted complication was fever recorded in 12 (15.38%) patients followed by bleeding at the surgical site in 03 (3.84%) patients. Sepsis was noted in 02 (2.56%) patients, pleural injury in 01(1.28) patient. Haemorrhage requiring intervention was recorded in 01 (1.28%) of patients. Pain assessment done at specified interval showed progressive decreasing trend in intensity as evaluated by visual analogue scale. The stone clearance rate in our study was 96.15% at the end of one month following post op period. Conclusion: The study shows that Mini Perc remains standard of care for management of Renal and upper ureteric stone. The technique beyond doubt is safe, efficient, feasible and economical in achieving excellent stone clearance rates. The Modified Clavien-Dindo system of grading for perioperative complications is easy to use and reproducible. It can be used as an objective and reliable method for describing the complications of the surgical procedure.","PeriodicalId":41773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Medical Society","volume":"25 1","pages":"10 - 15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48557248","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}

Expectedly, thyroid hormone deficiency in primary hypothyroidism has a profound and clinically relevant effect on the cardiac structure and function manifesting in characteristic electrocardiographic and echocardiographic (ECHO) abnormalities. The aim is to evaluate the effects of levothyroxine replacement therapy on the electrocardiographic (ECG) and ECHO changes in patients with primary hypothyroidism by assessing the changes in ECG and ECHO before and after 6 weeks of optimal levothyroxine (LT4) treatment in adults with newly diagnosed primary hypothyroidism. Methodology: Prospective, observational study conducted in the department of medicine in an armed forces tertiary care teaching hospital from October 2018 to April 2021. We studied newly diagnosed adults with primary hypothyroidism who were treated with optimal LT4 replacement. Descriptive statistics along with Student's t-test and Chi-square test were used to determine the statistical significance. Results: In 152 participants, the mean age was 41.0 ± 13.2 years and 79% were female. After 6 weeks of LT4 treatment, the proportion of participants with abnormal ECG findings reduced significantly (from 77% to 14.5%, P < 0.0001) with a significant reduction in those having sinus bradycardia (P < 0.0001) and low-voltage complexes (P < 0.0001). On ECHO, there was a significant improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (P < 0.001), fractional shortening (P < 0.001), and a significant reduction in myocardial thickness parameters. The systolic and diastolic function improved significantly after 6 weeks of treatment. The proportion of patients without pericardial effusion increased from 34.9% to 79.6%. Conclusion: Replacement therapy with LT4 in newly diagnosed primary hypothyroid patients substantially improves cardiac structure, systolic and diastolic function and has a positive impact on underlying pericardial effusion. A large, prospective, trial is necessary to determine the long-term effects after thyroid hormone replacement.","PeriodicalId":41773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Medical Society","volume":"25 1","pages":"63 - 68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41751802","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}

It is the second-most common hospital-acquired infection associated with high morbidity and mortality. Identification of the spectrum of causative organisms of VAP is imperative in the proper utilization of antimicrobials for VAP and the prevention of multidrug resistance (MDR) organisms. Aim and Objective: The spectrum of organisms responsible for VAP in the trauma center of our tertiary care hospital is not known and additionally, the ideal use of antimicrobials for proper treatment of these cases had to be formulated. This study was planned to identify the organisms and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of bacteria causing VAP in patients admitted to trauma intensive care unit (ICU) of this tertiary care general hospital. Materials and Methods: In this study, 150 cases of VAP from a trauma ICU were included, who met the criteria of VAP as per the Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score. Endotracheal aspirate (ETA) samples were collected and processed for Gram stain; organisms were isolated and antibiotic sensitivity was performed by Kirby–Bauer method. Statistical analysis was performed using SSPI 23.0.0.0. Results: Our study showed predominantly Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) (70.6%) in the isolates, Gram-positive cocci in 4.67% of isolates, and 2% polymicrobial. The most common organism isolated was Klebsiella pneumoniae (44.08%), followed by Acinetobacter baumannii (17.77%). K. pneumoniae showed maximum resistance to cefotaxime (98.51%) and most sensitivity to colistin (13.43%). Maximum resistance was seen against cefotaxime (97.08%) and least against moxifloxacin (37.96%) and colistin (13.08%). K. pneumoniae had the highest MDR (47.6%), followed by A. baumannii (17.14%). Conclusion: VAP is a significant cause of mortality in ICU settings. The significant isolation of GNB in ETAs and the resistance pattern seen in our study shows that judicious and appropriate use of antimicrobials in this setting would be highly beneficial to prevent the emergence of MDR organisms and reduce mortality in cases of VAP.","PeriodicalId":41773,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Medical Society","volume":"57 57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136202531","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}
