The aim of the study was to report the features and course of therapy of diabetic individuals admitted to a tertiary care facility with COVID-19 infection. Additionally, we tried to assess how hyperglycemia affected the clinical results. Methods: This study used observational methods to conduct a retrospective chart review of 125 cases from October 2021 to March 2022 at a single center. Results: Males made up 94.6% of the 125 examined cases. Within the age range of 21 to 78 years, the study group's average age was 49.6±10.4 years. Of the patients, 66.4% had prior knowledge of diabetes. When compared to pre-existing diabetes individuals with the newly diagnosed diabetes individuals, the latter had a higher death rate (p=0.03) and needed mechanical breathing (p=0.02). Conclusions: Hyperglycemia that is uncontrolled harms COVID-19-infected patients. There is an increased risk of hyperglycemia problems that have been discovered or unknown.to screen for cases of undiscovered diabetes in hospital patients, which may be especially relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic, optimal glycemia optimization is essential.","PeriodicalId":505944,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences","volume":"13 16","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139148573","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}

A normal platelet count applicable to all adults is 150 to 400×109/l. Thrombocytosis develops when the platelet count exceeds 450×109/l. Thrombocytosis is classified into primary thrombocytosis and secondary (or extreme) thrombocytosis. Primary thrombocytosis is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder in which sustained megakaryocyte proliferation leads to an increase in the number of circulating platelets. Extreme thrombocytosis or reactive thrombocytosis, is defined as abnormally high platelet count in the absence of chronic myeloproliferative disease, secondary to an underlying events, disease, or the use of certain medications. Causes of reactive thrombocytosis include acute blood loss, acute infection, amputation, iron deficiency, asplenia, cancer, chronic inflammatory or infectious diseases. Secondary thrombocytosis resolves when the underlying event is managed. Extreme thrombocytosis may result in thromboembolic episode such as mesenteric vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and acute myocardial infarction. In patients who survive after trauma the platelet count displays a bimodal response with an initial decrease below baseline values, followed by an increase above the normal range after 1 week. We report a similar experience of a trauma patient with reactive thrombocytosis and discussion on importance of thromboprophylaxis.","PeriodicalId":505944,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences","volume":"143 10‐12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139149349","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}

These diseases, like malaria, dengue and chikungunya pose immense challenges due to their rapid transmission and leading to major public health crises during outbreaks. Effective management strategies, including vector control, public health interventions are crucial to curb their impact. The burden of VBDs extends beyond public health, impacting society and economies. These diseases can strain healthcare systems, reduce workforce productivity, and impose significant financial costs. Annually, alarming 700,000 deaths are attributed to vector-borne diseases, underscoring the urgency of addressing this issue. Aim was to assess and evaluate knowledge, attitude and practice towards vector borne diseases in urban area of Bagalkote. Methods: This is an educational interventional study. This study will be conducted among the urban area of Bagalkote. The study was carried out for 6 months. Results: In this study among 165 participant’s knowledge of vector borne diseases was quite good. Majority of study subjects were aware about VBD causes death if untreated. Regarding the most frequent mosquito biting period maximum participants 99.39% responded with evening/night time. Almost 95.75% resonance had knowledge, that mosquito bite is the cause of dengue, malaria, chikungunya. The study revealed that majority participants considered dengue, malaria, chikungunya is serious health problem and their attitude vector control measures were positive in almost all study subjects. Conclusions: The results are very positive and we suggest that people should continue to strengthen their knowledge, attitude and practice towards vector borne diseases. Participants showed adequate awareness towards vector borne diseases.","PeriodicalId":505944,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences","volume":"47 37","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139151278","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 effect on the kidney results in the dysregulation of the electrolyte causing electrolyte imbalance. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study conducted at a tertiary teaching hospital aimed at assessing the levels and severity of electrolyte imbalance among BPH patients. The blood samples were analyzed for electrolytes and PSA levels for both patients and control group. An Independent t-test was used to compare the means of the BPH patients and healthy control subjects. Chi-square was used to determine the association between the electrolyte imbalance and the PSA levels of the BPH patients. Results: The mean age of the BPH patients and the healthy individuals was 65.47±12.55 and 64.52±12.19 years respectively. Hyponatremia, and hypernatremia were observed in 26.08% (n=104) and 4.22% (n=8) of the BPH patients respectively. There was a statistical significance positive correlation between potassium (K) and sodium (Na) concentrations (r=0.350, p<0.01), as well as a notable positive association between chloride (Cl) and magnesium (Mg) levels (r=0.288, p<0.01). PSA biomarker levels varied among the patients. There was a statistical significance (<0.0001*) difference in PSA levels between the BPH patients and the control group. Conclusions: With high prevalence of electrolyte imbalance among BPH patients there is a need to monitor the electrolytes and PSA levels in the management of BPH aiming at restoration of kidney function.","PeriodicalId":505944,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences","volume":"34 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139149919","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}
