Travel by air is the most popular way of transport nowadays & estimated that each year worldwide, more than 3 billion passengers travel by air & 736 million in the United States alone. For most passengers, even those with respiratory disease, air travel is safe and comfortable. Some patients with COPD &other Chronic Lung diseases may be at risk but, with screening, these patients can be identified and most of them can travel safely with supplemental oxygen. Some patients with chronic lung disease may have mild hypoxemia at sea level but during air travel in a hypobaric hypoxic environment, compensatory pulmonary mechanisms may be inadequate despite normal sea-level oxygen requirements. In addition, compensatory cardiovascular mechanisms may be less effective in some patients who are unable to increase cardiac output. Air travel also presents an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. It's estimated that, almost 1 medical emergency for every 600 flights. Respiratory symptoms accounted for 12% of all these in-air emergencies. \u0000Pulse Volume 12-14 2020-2022 p.16-21","PeriodicalId":49065,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Pulse","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78785143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the time pathogens are not identified and antibiotics are used empirically. The purpose of our study is to find out the STI pathogens detected by sensitive multiplex PCR done routinely in a tertiary care hospital. \u0000Materials and methods A total of 578 samples were tested from February 2015 to July 2022. Urine, prostatic secretion, urethral swab, high vaginal swab, semen, throat swabs were collected from symptomatic patients for the routine test. DNA was extracted and Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Trichomonas vaginalis were screened by using CE-IVD approved multiplex Real Time PCR kit. \u0000Result Out of 578 cases, 76 (13.15%) were positive for at least one pathogen and 5 were co-infections. Out of 76 positive cases, Chlamydia trachomatis was found 41 (53.9%), Neisseria gonorrhoeae was 13 (17.1%), Mycoplasma genitalium was 12 (15.8%), and Trichomonas vaginalis 5 (6.6%) and co-infections with Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis was 5 (6.6%). Positivity rate was remarkably higher in male (77.6%) than female (22.4%) and predominant age group was 19-40 years. \u0000Conclusion The predominant STIs pathogen found in our cohort is Chlamydia trachomatis followed by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Multiplex PCR is a wide-ranging diagnostic method for the detection of multiple pathogens simultaneously which allows early and accurate diagnosis of STIs. \u0000Pulse Volume 12-14 2020-2022 p.34-39","PeriodicalId":49065,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Pulse","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82711879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have been doing SRS since March 2019. The unique ability of SRS to deliver higher focused dose to the smaller targets preferably in a single exposure in a convenient manner while sparing adjacent critical structures has made a more widely adopted treatment option. This case series is intended to show our institutional experience and procedural technique adapted for treating intracranial meningioma using SRS by Linear accelerators. We present five cases of intracranial meningioma. Four had Grade I meningioma and one patient with Grade III meningioma. One patient had radiological diagnosis only and treated with SRS. Two patients underwent gross total resection and SRS was prescribed on the event of recurrence. Rest two patients had recurrence/progression after subtotal resection and adjuvant radiation. The dose prescription ranged from 13 to 21Gy in one to three fractions which was determined by tumor volume, location, grade, proximity to critical structures, pre-existing neurologic impairment, previous treatment history, time to progression/relapse and the ideal balance of prescription dosage and expected problems. There were no acute side effects from any of the procedures. All five patients had improvement in clinical symptoms in the immediate post-SRS period. One patient who has two-year post-SRS revealed a significant regression in the size of the tumor. This case series summarizes the fact that SRS for intracranial meningioma is safe and effective treatment strategy when appropriate. \u0000Pulse Volume 12-14 2020-2022 p.40-52","PeriodicalId":49065,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Pulse","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78679469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
