Although being a disease predominantly affecting lungs the involvement of other organs like heart, brain and gut have also been seen in the acute phase. PASC (post acute SARS Covid-19) is another distinct phase of the disease seen amongst survivors from both mild and severe disease where the patients continue to suffer from symptoms of palpitations, dysnoea on exertion ,chest pain and fatigue. Few studies have been done in such patients to assess ongoing cardiac involvement. Most of these patients show normal left and right ventricle Ejection fraction, normal troponin levels with nonspecific EKG findings of sinus tachycardia. Some of these patients are made to undergo cardiac MR to rule out covid-19 myocarditis. Here also most of the imaging specialists and the cardiologists are focused on the left ventricle only and look for the Lake Loius criteria to establish or rule out diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":72085,"journal":{"name":"Advances in clinical and medical research (Chandigarh, India)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41393573","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}

This study has found that four major histocompatibility complex (MHC) alleles and the absence of oral microbe Alloprevotella rava increase the risk of suicidal behavior, emphasizing a microbial-genetic link in this pathology. Suicide is the second leading cause of mortality in young adults, contributing to more than 40,000 deaths per year in the US alone [4]. Previous studies have associated suicidal behavior with several alleles of the MHC, a network of genes encoding for the human leukocyte antigen (HLA). For example, the presence of DQB1*02 allele was reported to increase, while HLADQB1*05 to lower the odds of suicidal behavior, suggesting that genetics and immunity play a major role in the pathogenesis of this disorder [5].","PeriodicalId":72085,"journal":{"name":"Advances in clinical and medical research (Chandigarh, India)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46481768","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}

Appetite/ eating disorder is an essential and common behavioral and psychological symptom of dementia (BPSD) that leads to poor quality of life, institutionalization, and affects the physiological function of many systems of the patient. Methods/ Design: 60 patients with dementia and appetite problems and their caregivers were included. The participants were suffering from all different types and stages of dementia. The study is a cross-over randomized controlled trial. The measurements used were: Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination Revised (ACE-R), Geriatric Scale of Depression (GDS), Functional Rating Scale for Symptoms in Dementia (FRSSD), and Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI). The three non-pharmacological interventions that were used: Physical Activity (PA), Music Therapy (MT), and Psycho-Educational Programme for the Caregivers (PEPC). Results: The most effective combination for the reduction of appetite problems was found in group 6: PEPC (structure routine in the hours that the food is served) (p=0.004), followed by MT (p=0.027), followed by PA (p=0.036). The same combination was the most effective for the reduction of caregivers’ burden, as well. Conclusions: There is a combination of non-pharmacological interventions (PEPC+MT+PA) that can effectively reduce the appetite/eating problems in PwD. The same combination is the most effective in reducing the caregivers’ burden, as well.","PeriodicalId":72085,"journal":{"name":"Advances in clinical and medical research (Chandigarh, India)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49482214","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}
