Shortwave Diathermy

Background: Shortwave diathermy, a therapeutic modality in acute inflammatory conditions of the ear, nose and neck has its utility in the paediatric, adolescent, middle age and the elderly. The seasonal variations of the patients enrolled in physiotherapy clinics for temporo-fascio-cervical diathermy sessions during a 5 years period, were analysed.   Methods: 490 patients with inflammatory pathologies localized to the head and neck region and referred to the physiotherapy unit of a tertiary care centre of Punjab were analysed. All were subjected to shortwave diathermy. The subjects were analysed for any seasonal trends.Results: In the paediatric age group, maximum patients were observed in the month of March over the period of 5 years followed by the month of January. In the adolescent population maximum patients were observed in the month of November over the period of 5 years followed by the month of December. In the Adult population maximum patients were observed in the month of April over the period of 5 years followed by January and August.Conclusion: Paediatric patients came for regular sittings in the end of March end, i.e. post examination vacation period. The elderly visited mostly during winters. Malignant otitis externa with underlying diabetes worsens in winters due to increase in intake of sugary energy drinks.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study will attempt to explore the demographic profile and outcome in the patients receiving multidisciplinary, personalised approach including use of Broad Spectrum Antivirals - Ivermectin, anti-inflammatory and antioxidants roles of Statins and N-acetyl-cysteine along with Standard of Care (SOC) in hospitalised COVID19 patients in a tertiary care centre. Setting: Inpatient department Participants: 191 COVID-19 patients with laboratory confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections in the year 2020 between June 14- 28, 2020 Main outcome measures: The outcome of Interests are : Studying the demographic profile of COVID 19 cases Study the treatment outcomes in terms of death or discharge in patients receiving Ivermectin+N-acetyl-cysteine+Statin along with Standard of care. Results: 148 patients were included in the study. All of them had confirmed COVID19 infection by the rtPCR method. Average age of the patients was 57.57 years ( Range = 17 - 88), 49% were male, 51% female. 81% of the patients had at least one or more comorbidities. Most common comorbidities included diabetes( 32%), Hypertension (27%),Ischaemic Heart Disease (8%). More comorbidities. The in hospital, Case Fatality Rate was therefore, 1.35 %. The remaining 144 were discharged from the facility after an average 12 days duration of stay. Conclusions: Triple therapy with ivermectin + atorvastatin + N-acetylcysteine can be an useful adjunct to standard of care.
