Background: India is in the grab of COVID pandemic, understanding the clinical profile, comorbid condition, vaccine status of COVID patient, will help in better prevention, treatment strategies, especially in local context, therefore present study is designed to describe, the clinical profile, comorbid conditions and factors determining the death and recovery of patient both in home and hospital setting.Methods: It is a retrospective record based study of COVID-19 patient from September 2020 to May 2021 who underwent treatment either home or at hospital. Results: Majority 90% patient were hospitalised, with male preponderance, 96.4% patient were non vaccinated at the time of data collection, risk of death about 83% were more >45years age, with associated breathlessness and comorbidity.Conclusions: Higher age, comorbidity, non -vaccinated status was associated with risk of death among COVID-19 patient.

Abstract Background: Febrile neutropenia (FN) is common in cancer patients particularly hematologic malignancies due to intensive cytotoxic chemotherapy. It is an important cause of morbidity, mortality and treatment delays. The risk is greater in patients with ANC < 500/ mm3 and increases dramatically in those with ANC < 100/ mm3 and duration of neutropenia more than 1 week. Aims and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence, demographic characteristics, clinical profile, mortality, outcome and factors affecting the outcome in patients with febrile neutropenia (FN) admitted at our Center between January 2011 and November 2012. Materials and Methods: All cases of FN admitted in our Institute between January 2011 and November 2012 were analyzed. Data was analyzed using IBM statistic SPSS version 19. Results: A total of 333 episodes of FN were reviewed. Hematologic malignancies accounted for 299 (89.7%) episodes and 88% of all the episodes had grade 4 neutropenia. There was a significant association noted between high serum bilirubin, creatinine and outcome. Isolation of an organism from blood culture, positive findings on chest X-ray and fungal infection was associated with higher mortality . Association between transfusion requirements and outcome was analyzed and it was observed that patients who had multiple component transfusions vs single component ones were at a significantly higher risk of death. There were only 7 deaths noted among the patient population. Conclusion: Leukemias are the leading cause of FN at our Institute. Higher bilirubin, creatinine, chest imaging favoring pneumonia, positive isolates and multiple transfusions had significant association with mortality. Large scale prospective studies are needed to determine the association of preemptive therapy with higher mortality. The outcome of high risk FN in this study is favorable.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical profile of neonates admitted with dehydration fever and ascertain the maternal and neonatal factors affecting it.Methods: A observational descriptive study was conducted at Rajarajeswari Medical College and hospital, population included neonates who were admitted in NICU with dehydration fever.Results: The study were conducted among 50 neonates admitted with dehydration fever. Majority of neonates (72%) were diagnosed with dehydration fever on day 3 of life. 84 % neonates were born to primiparous mothers. In the study there was significant difference in mean birth weight, weight at admission and percentage of weight loss between birth weight and weight at admission with respect to symptoms on presentation. Mean % of weight loss was 12.06 when dehydration fever was presented with fever, 11.29 when dehydration fever presented with decreased urine output, 18.44 when presented with both fever and decreased urine output and 12.73 when presented with jaundice these values were statistically significant.Conclusions: Dehydration fever occurs most commonly on day 3 or after, effective measures should be initiated for early diagnosis and prevention of complications like effective breast-feeding counselling, proper techniques, good latching and supplementation of artificial feeds if required and monitoring of daily weight and daily urine output.

AbstractThe aims and objectives of this study are to study clinical profile and factors affecting mortality in tetanus. This was a retrospective study of 25 tetanus patients (aged 6 months–12 years) admitted to pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary center (over 3 years). In this study, 25 tetanus cases (mean age 6.6 years) were analyzed; 16 were males and 9 were females. Incubation period ranged from 2 to 30 days (mean 8.2 days), period of onset from 11 to 120 hours (mean 42.8 hours), and duration of spasms from 4 to 26 days (mean 14 days). The commonest portal of entry was posttrauma (52%), followed by otogenic (40%). Eighteen patients had moderate and 7 had severe tetanus. Fifteen were unimmunized and 10 were partially immunized. The commonest complaints were trismus and spasms (100%), hypertonia (72%), fever (60%), dysphagia (48%), and neck stiffness (44%). Eight patients required primary tracheostomy and 11 required primary endotracheal intubation. Complications encountered were pneumonia (58%), conjunctivitis (41%), gastrointestinal bleed (37.5%), urinary infection (33%), acute kidney injury (AKI) following rhabdomyolysis (33%), sepsis (29%), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) (25%), bedsores (25%), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (20%). Oral diazepam was most commonly used, followed by midazolam, vecuronium, and magnesium sulfate. Mortality rate was 32% (five moderate and three severe cases died). Short period of onset (less than 48 hours), AKI following rhabdomyolysis, sepsis, DIC, ARDS, and inotrope need were significantly associated with higher mortality. It is concluded that the commonest portal of entry was posttrauma. None of the patients was completely immunized. Short period of onset, AKI, sepsis, DIC, ARDS, and inotrope need predicted a higher mortality.

Comprehensive Study

In our initial publication on this subject1) we reported results demonstrating that contrast is the most important factor in producing the high image quality required for reliable image analysis. We also listed the factors which enhance contrast in order of the experimentally determined magnitude of their effect. The two most powerful factors affecting image contrast attainable with sheet film are beam intensity and KV. At that time we had only qualitative evidence for the ranking of enhancing factors. Later we carried out the densitometric measurements which led to the results outlined below.Meaningful evaluations of the cause-effect relationships among the considerable number of variables in preparing EM negatives depend on doing things in a systematic way, varying only one parameter at a time. Unless otherwise noted, we adhered to the following procedure evolved during our comprehensive study:Philips EM-300; 30μ objective aperature; magnification 7000- 12000X, exposure time 1 second, anti-contamination device operating.

Strength And Stiffness

Processing polymers from the liquid crystalline state offers several advantages compared to processing from conventional fluids. These include: better axial strength and stiffness in fibers, better planar orientation in films, lower viscosity during processing, low solidification shrinkage of injection moldings (thermotropic processing), and low thermal expansion coefficients. However, the compressive strength of the solid is disappointing. Previous efforts to improve this property have focussed on synthesizing stiffer molecules. The effect of microstructural scale has been overlooked, even though its relevance to the mechanical and physical properties of more traditional materials is well established. By analogy with the behavior of metals and ceramics, one would expect a fine microstructure (i..e. a high density of orientational defects) to be desirable.Also, because much microstructural detail in liquid crystalline polymers occurs on a scale close to the wavelength of light, light is scattered on passing through these materials.
