By evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of each system concerning the Indian patient population and health-care infrastructure, this study aims to identify the most suitable approach for accurate thyroid cytology reporting and patient management in India.\u0000Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary care center in central India following due ethical clearance. A total of 208 cases met the inclusion criteria of this study. The clinical records and the cytological records of these cases were independently analyzed and reclassified by a group of pathologists into all the above-stated thyroid coding systems. Data were collected and analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2016.\u0000Results: Approximately 88.46% of the cases were women. Medial lobe was the most common site with prevalence of 80.29%. Colloid goiter is most common cytological diagnosis. Only for 11 cases, there was a difference in coding among these coding systems. Codes 1 and 2 are same in all the coding systems and the main difference identified for cases with Bethesda Codes 3 and 5.\u0000Conclusion: The Bethesda coding is simple and reliable for coding thyroid FNAC as it has been reported over the period. The other coding systems can also be used but they will have their long learning curve. Furthermore, Bethesda is being used universally making the report understandable.","PeriodicalId":8528,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140733726","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 a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in our health system. It is caused by adhesions, hernias, malignancies, endometriosis, inflammatory bowel disease stenosis, intussusception, and others. Our research aims to identify the etiology, epidemiology, and clinical presentations of the pathology so that we can manage the disease as early as possible for better outcomes in our peripheral institution.\u0000Methods: The study was performed on 100 cases of the age group 12–76 years admitted in the surgical ward of Midnapore Medical College and Hospital, Paschim Medinipur (W.B.) from December 2016 to June 2018. Cases of acute intestinal obstruction who underwent operation were included in our research to establish the pathology of intestinal obstruction.\u0000Results: In our study, the incidence of acute intestinal obstruction is 1.6% of total surgical cases. Maximum patients (25%) were in the age group 51– 60 years. The most common cause of intestinal obstruction was obstructed/strangulated hernia (40%). The most common symptoms were pain abdomen (88%), abdominal distension (84%), and vomiting (78%). An X-ray revealed presence of air-fluid levels in 75% of patients. The overall mortality rate was 10%.\u0000Conclusion: The morbidity and mortality of intestinal obstruction are dependent on early diagnosis, prompt resuscitation, and proper management. The critical determinants of the morbidity are age of the patient, duration of the disease, existing comorbidity, and delay in treatment. X-ray in erect view is an essential mode of diagnostic method and obstructed hernia is the most common etiology of obstruction in our research study.","PeriodicalId":8528,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140733795","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 purpose of our study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of TXA use in reducing blood loss in uncomplicated primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) without complications.\u0000Methods: This is a prospective, open-label, comparative study that includes patients who are undergoing unilateral primary TKA. The patients were divided into two groups: Group I, which is a control group, did not receive any doses of TXA, and Group II received three doses of intravenous TXA: 15 mg/kg TXA was administered 30 min before incision, followed by post-operative doses of 10 mg/kg TXA at 3 and 6 h. The primary objectives of the study were to measure the total blood loss (TBL) and Hemoglobin (Hb) drop, which were calculated preoperatively and on the third post-operative day. The secondary objectives were to determine transfusion rates, incidences of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis, and thromboembolic events (TE).\u0000Results: In this study, a total of 57 patients underwent unilateral TKA. The TBL in Group I was 861.67±167.65 mL, compared to 780.05±158.05 mL in Group II (p<0.001). The study also found that the Hb drop was significantly lower (2.78±0.36 vs. 2.3±0.37) with IV TXA. Furthermore, neither group required transfusions, nor were any thromboembolic complications noted for up to 6 months post-operation.\u0000Conclusion: Our study supports the use of TXA in TKA, as it effectively reduces perioperative blood loss, decreases the need for blood transfusions, and does not increase the risk of TE.","PeriodicalId":8528,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Clinical Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140733709","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}
