Risk stratification and initiation of dual or triple combination therapy has a better clinical response, especially in high-risk patients. Unfortunately, prostacyclin analogues are not marketed in India; hence, the use of these medications is limited. We report the benefits and difficulties of using iloprost inhalation in patients with advanced PAH in India. Methods In this prospective observational study, we included patients with group 1 PAH. Inhaled iloprost was initiated as an add-on therapy for patients who had clinical, echocardiographic or laboratory deterioration on dual oral medications. Patients with clinical instability were excluded. All patients underwent thorough clinical evaluation, detailed echocardiogram and laboratory investigations. Patients were started on inhaled iloprost 2.5 μg six times daily and closely followed up. The dose was escalated if necessary. On follow-up, clinical echocardiographic and laboratory evaluation was done on all patients. Results Fourteen patients (11 women) with a median age of 32 years (2-66 years) with group 1 PAH were started on inhaled iloprost as an add-on therapy. Improvement in clinical parameters, WHO functional class, echocardiographic-derived right ventricular function, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) levels were observed in 10 of 14 patients. A median increase of 31% (4.2, 106%) in the distance travelled during 6-minute walk test, a median increase of 45% (-20, 120%) in right ventricular fractional area change, a median increase of 27% (-16.7, 60%) in tricuspid annular peak systolic excursion and a median decrease of 36.7% (-69.6, 17.2%) in NT-pro-BNP levels were observed after initiation of medication. Three patients had progression of symptoms and were then referred for lung/heart-lung transplant. One patient developed progression of symptoms after an excellent initial response and transitioned to subcutaneous treprostinil. Improvement in clinical, echocardiographic and laboratory features allowed us to successfully perform surgical Potts shunt in 2 patients. The medications were well tolerated with minimal and transient side-effects. There were no deaths. Conclusion Inhaled iloprost can be used with acceptable benefits and minimal side-effects in patients with PAH.</p>","PeriodicalId":49782,"journal":{"name":"National Medical Journal of India","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9842563","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 explored the prevalence and predictors of depressive and generalized anxiety (GA) symptoms in a cohort of adults awaiting cataract surgery. Methods Our study is based on data from baseline assessments which were conducted as part of a multicentre prospective, longitudinal cohort study. Subjects were recruited from four eye hospitals to assess depression and GA and associated risk factors using standardized scales, i.e. Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) and Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7). Variation in the intensity of depression and GA was assessed using multiple classification analysis (MCA). Results A total of 813 adults awaiting cataract surgery participated, of whom 456 (56.1%) were men. The mean (SD) CES-D and GAD-7 scores were 24.6 (7.8) and 6.3 (SD 4.2) for men and 25.8 (8.9) and 6.9 (4.4) for women, respectively. The overall prevalence of depression score of >16 was 87.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 84.7%- 89.6%), and GA score of >10 was 57.1% (95% CI 53.5%-60.7%). The prevalence of comorbid depressive and anxiety symptoms was 56.6% (95% CI 52.9%- 60.2%). MCA showed that being neglected and mistreated by family/friends because of vision condition and facing difficulty and requiring help with daily tasks had the highest effect on the intensity of both depression (beta=0.254 and 0.238, respectively) and GA (beta=0.219 and 0.211, respectively). Conclusion The majority of adults with untreated cataract had both depressive and GA symptoms. These findings could be used for planning mental health interventions for adults awaiting cataract surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":49782,"journal":{"name":"National Medical Journal of India","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9839263","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}

In India, the proportion of women who received four or more antenatal visits was only 51% (National Family Health Survey, 2015-2016). An even worse situation prevails in urban areas where women from poor communities face greater health risks. We assessed various barriers women residing in these areas come across in availing ANC services. Methods This study is a part of a mixed-methods, community-based study, and we report its qualitative component. We conducted the study at the residence of the study participants in September-October 2019. The study participants were women who had less than four antenatal visits throughout the pregnancy. Twelve in-depth interviews were conducted based on data saturation. Data were transcribed and themes were drawn concerning the gender analysis framework. Results Through this study, we found how gender relations affect the utilization of antenatal services concerning access to resources, division of labour, social norms including the belief of husband and other family members towards pregnancy and decision-making power of women. Conclusion Our findings underline the importance of making the urban health system gender-sensitive and responsive to the needs of women during pregnancy. There is a need to educate men regarding maternal health so as to allay such social norms that label pregnancy as a woman's responsibility and encouraging them to accompany their wives during pregnancy visits, thus making men a part of antenatal services.</p>","PeriodicalId":49782,"journal":{"name":"National Medical Journal of India","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9839261","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}

Evidence regarding the prevalent dengue serotypes is scarce, but essential for its management during the outbreaks. Hence, we mapped the distribution and trends of currently prevalent dengue virus (DENV) serotypes in Odisha. Methods We conducted a facility-based retrospective study from referral samples sent for the diagnosis/confirmation of dengue in 2018. The samples were serologically tested for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) IgM antibody and NS1. Only NS1-positive samples were chosen for sero-typing. A pool of 8-10 NS1-positive samples were analysed for district-wise serotypes. Ribonucleic acid extraction and nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was done from NS1-positive samples. The PCR products were then subjected to gel electrophoresis. Results A total of 2892 samples were screened for dengue virus across various districts of Odisha where 763 samples were found to be NS1-positive. Thirteen of 18 districts covering all topographies of Odisha predominantly had DENV2 serotype. Only few districts such as Balangir, Kalahandi and Rayagada had mixed serotypes. Conclusion Although DENV2 is predominantly prevalent, mixed serotypes too exist in Odisha. Evidence based on variations of dengue serotypes across topographies, seasons, gender and age groups may support public health efforts in preventing the disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":49782,"journal":{"name":"National Medical Journal of India","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9842569","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}
