COVID in Post Vaccinated individuals- Beacon of Light

Introduction: COVISHIELD and COVAXIN have been introduced post rapid approval as COVID vaccines in India, which has the second most COVID cases across countries. These vaccines are being administered in a two-dose schedule from 16 Jan 2021. This study deals with the clinical profile of individuals who developed COVID infection post-COVID vaccination. This is the first study of similar nature in India. Methodology: The study population comprised of individuals who were detected to be COVID positive 04 weeks post-vaccination and were compared with individuals detected positive within the first 04 weeks of vaccination. Data was collected in a digital questionnaire format and analyzed with SPSS v-23 software. Clinical features were profiled in detail. Chi-square analysis was done to find out the association of various demographic features with the severity of the disease. Results: In the study population, fever was the commonest symptom (75.1%) followed by anosmia (72.1%), and shortness of breath (16.3%). There was a lower incidence of fever, cough, dyspnea, and requirement of hospitalization in the study population as compared to the control group and previous epidemiological data. The time required for complete recovery and disease severity was favorable in our study population. There was a significant correlation in the rate of hospitalization among the study group and the comparative group (p=0.0001) and between the number of dosages of COVID vaccine with the lowest SpO2 recorded (p=0.001). Conclusion: This study will boost the ongoing initiative of having a maximal vaccinated population countrywide and emphasize the need for two doses of vaccination.

Abstract Objectives: To determine the success of bracket retention using an adhesion promoter with and without the additional microabrasion of enamel. Materials and Methods: Fifty-two teeth with severe dental fluorosis were bonded in vivo using a split-mouth design where the enamel surfaces of 26 teeth were microabraded with 50 μm of aluminum silicate for 5 seconds under rubber dam and high volume suction. Thirty-seven percent phosphoric acid was then applied to the enamel, washed and dried, and followed by placement of Scotchbond Multipurpose Plus Bonding Adhesive. Finally, precoated 3M Unitek Victory brackets were placed and light cured. The remaining teeth were bonded using the same protocol but without microabrasion. Results: After 9 months of intraoral service, only one bond failure occurred in the control group where microabrasion was used. Chi-square analysis revealed P = .31, indicating no statistical significance between the two groups. Conclusions: Bonding orthodontic attachments to fluorosed enamel using an adhesion promoter is a viable clinical procedure that does not require the additional micro-mechanical abrasion step.

AbstractThe thyroid functions as a regulator of cardiac function and rhythm through genomic and nongenomic actions of triiodothyronine (T3) in cardiac myocytes. Atrial fibrillation is a common complication of thyrotoxicosis. Hypothyroidism is not considered a risk factor for arrhythmias despite well-known EKG changes in this condition. This case control study was conducted to analyze the differences, if any, in the prevalence of cardiac arrhythmias between hypothyroid patients and euthyroid controls. Three hundred and four consecutive patients admitted at our medical center for a period of one year were included in the study. The study population was divided into 2 groups (age, gender and race matched): patients with hypothyroidism and euthyroid subjects as a control group. Major arrhythmia data were obtained from telemetry recordings and from known past medical history. There were 152 subjects in each arm of the study. The mean age was 61.9 years. Mean TSH in hypothyroid group was 40.4 mIU/l (95% CI 33.3–47.5) (range 10.09–304, SE 3.62) and in euthyroid group was 0.89 mIU/l (95% CI 0.82–0.96). Chi-square analysis revealed a higher prevalence of ventricular tachycardia (p=0.04) and any ventricular arrhythmia in the hypothyroid group (p=0.007). This relatively large case control study revealed a statistically higher prevalence of ventricular arrhythmias in hypothyroidism. Our study has thrown light on the prevalence of arrhythmias in hypothyroidism and the observation of increased ventricular arrhythmias necessitates future large scale prospective studies to better define the risk of such ventricular arrhythmias and the effects of thyroid supplementation on this risk.

Pneumonia adalah penyakit inflamasi pada paru yang merupakan salah satu penyebab kematian anak di dunia. Salah satu faktor risiko pasti pneumonia adalah status imunisasi dasar yang belum lengkap. Imunisasi yang mencegah pneumonia seperti imunisasi Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), Haemophilus influenze tipe B (Hib), Difteri-Pertusis-Tetanus (DPT), dan campak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui hubungan status imunisasi dasar <1 tahun dengan pneumonia pada pasien balita rawat inap di RSIA Respati Tasikmalaya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasional analitik dengan pendekatan kasus kontrol periode Oktober – November 2020. Sampel diambil dengan teknik non-random dengan jenis kuota sampling. Data status imunisasi diperoleh dari rekam medis pasien dan Kartu Menuju Sehat sebagai kontrol. Analisis data menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil penelitian didapatkan seluruh balita tidak pernah mendapatkan imunisasi PCV, 22 dari 30 balita mendapatkan imunisasi Hib lengkap, 25 dari 30 balita mendapatkan imunisasi DPT lengkap, dan 27 dan 30 balita pernah mendapatkan imunisasi campak. Hasil analisis menunjuk hubungan status imunisasi Hib, DPT, dan campak (nilai p=0,000). Balita yang mendapatkan imunisasi Hib, DPT, dan campak lengkap memiliki peluang lebih baik terhindar dari pneumonia dibanding dengan balita yang belum pernah mendapatkan imunisasi. Diharapkan masyarakat mendapat imunisasi Hib, DPT, dan campak lengkap untuk mencegah pneumonia. Relationship of Basic Immunization Status to Pneumonia in Under-five years Children at RSIA Respati TasikmalayaPneumonia is an inflammatory disease of the lungs, which is one of the primary causes of death in children worldwide. One of the definite risk factors of pneumonia is incomplete immunization status. Immunizations that prevent pneumonia are Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), type B Haemophilus influenze (Hib), Diphteria-Pertussis-Tetanus (DPT), and measles immunization. This study aimed to determine the relationship between basic immunization status <1-year-old with pneumonia in under-five hospitalized patients at RSIA Respati Tasikmalaya in 2020. This was a case-control study. That conducted in October - November 2020 on 30 hospitalized under-five children at Mother and Child Hospital Respati Tasikmalaya and 30 healthy under-five children as a control group. Samples were taken using a quota sampling technique. Retrieval of immunization status using patient medical records and Maternal and Neonatal Health Book. Data analysis using the chi-square test. The results showed that all children under five had never received PCV immunization, 22 from 30 children received complete Hib immunization, 25 from 30 children received complete DPT immunization, and 27 from 30 children received measles immunization. Chi-square analysis showed that there is a correlation between Hib, DPT, and measles immunization status with pneumonia in under-five children (p-value = 0.000). Under-five children who had received complete Hib, DPT, and measles immunization have a better chance to avoid pneumonia compared to those who had never received immunization. It is hoped that people received complete Hib, DPT, and measles immunization to prevent pneumonia.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the cervical sagittal parameters of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and compare them with the parameters obtained from healthy patients in a sample of the Brazilian population. Methods: Epidemiological data were collected and 72 radiographs of the cervical spine in the sagittal plane were evaluated by measuring the cervical sagittal parameters COG-C7 (distance measured between the center of gravity of the head and the C7 plumb line -cranial offset), C2-C7 lordosis (vertebrae from C2 to C7), T1S (T1 slope), TIA (thoracic inlet angle) and NT (neck tilt). Statistical analysis was performed using the Student’s t and chi-square tests. Results: The TIA and NT values in the RA group were 88.8° ± 12.6° and 54.5° ± 9.3°, respectively, while for the control group, they were 77.7° ± 7.9° and 50.5° ± 7.7°, respectively, the RA group values being statistically higher than the control group values (p <0.001 and p = 0.050, respectively). The values obtained for COG-C7, C2-C7 lordosis and T1S for the RA group were 9.4 ± 16.4mm, 25° ± 22.4° and 2.6° ± 10.1°, respectively, while for the control group they were 11.8 ± 17.6mm, 26.8° ± 12.5° and 30.9° ± 8.4°, respectively. Conclusions: Patients with RA present changes in the thoracic inlet parameters as compared to the control group, with a statistically significant increase in the TIA and NT values, outlining a characteristic compensatory pattern for maintaining cervical sagittal balance.

And Control

Objective: Left-handedness reportedly has been more common in persons with neurological afflictions (e.g., stroke) and malformations (e.g., cleft lip with or without cleft palate) that demonstrate marked unilateral involvement. Coronal synostosis is also more frequently unilateral, affecting the right side more commonly than the left. We sought to compare left-handedness in patients with unilateral coronal synostosis versus healthy controls. Subjects: All patients aged 3 years or older with nonsyndromic unilateral coronal synostosis and healthy controls recruited by pediatricians blinded to the study. Main Outcome Measures: Prospective data obtained for all participants included age, gender, and handedness. In patients with unilateral coronal synostosis, the side of synostosis and age at surgery were documented. Left-handedness in the study and control groups was compared using chi-square analysis. Left-handedness also was analyzed in the study group according to side of fusion. Results: Eighty-six patients with nonsyndromic unilateral coronal synostosis comprised the study group; there were 96 controls. The mean ages of the study (8.8 years) and control groups (9.8 years) were not statistically different (p > .05). There were more girls in the study group (67%) than in the control group (56%), but this difference was not statistically significant (p > .05). Left-handedness was documented in 30.2% of the study group and 11.4% of the control group (p < .005). Left-handedness was twice as common in patients with left versus right unilateral coronal synostosis (44.4% versus 20.4%; p < .05). Conclusions: Left-handedness is nearly three times more common in patients with unilateral coronal synostosis than in controls and four times more likely in patients with left-sided fusion.
