Introduction: the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic affected a large part of the population of La Libertad, among them, the population of Florencia de Mora whose hospital played an important role in the care of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Objective: to determine the epidemiological clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 treated at the care center. Methods: Retrospective observational descriptive study, with a population of 2622 patients treated in the COVID-19 triage, taking into account the molecular test and the rapid serology test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2. Results: SARS-CoV-2 was detected in 74.90% (1155) of patients. The months with the highest number of cases were June and July with 29.4% (340) and 37.4% (432), respectively. The predominant age group was 27- 59 years with 77.9% (900) and males with 57.5% (664). Regarding the clinical profile, the most frequent comorbidity was hypertension with 6.9% (80), obesity and overweight with 3.7% (43) and the most frequent symptoms were cough 62.9% (726) and odynophagia 55.7% (643). Conclusions: 75 out of 100 screened patients had SARS-CoV-2, predominantly males, the age group of 27-59 years, hypertension, obesity and overweight as comorbidity, cough and odynophagia as the most frequent symptoms.

Background: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a recently described syndrome that is characterized by abrupt deterioration in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) and has high short-term mortality. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical profile, causes and outcomes of ACLF at a tertiary care centre in Northern India.Methods: In this descriptive study of 50 consecutive patients, were included, between August 2015 to January 2018, who were admitted and diagnosed as ACLF as defined by APASL. Causes of acute precipitating event and CLD and outcomes were assessed.Occurrence and severity of organ failure was also assessed.Results: 48 (96 %) were males and 2 (4%) were females with male to female ratio was 24:1. The mean age of male and female subjects was similar, 40.7±9.9 years and 39.2±9.4 years respectively. The most common cause of CLD was alcohol in 50% cases and next most common cause was hepato-tropic viruses HBV infection in 20%, HCV in 6% cases and there was unknown cause in 12 % cases. The most common precipitating factor of acute decompensation was alcohol in 50% cases, hepatotropic viruses in 30% cases. Excluded sepsis and GI bleed as precipitating events. The combined mortality at the end of 1-month and 3-months, in our study was 60%. CLIF-SOFA score was found to be the most reliable scoring system to discriminate between survivors and non survivors. Conclusions: Alcohol was the commonest precipitating cause of ACLF. Organ failures (OFs) are independently predictive of mortality.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Herpes zoster (HZ), also known as shingles, derived from the Latin word Cingulum, for “girdle”. This is because a common presentation of HZ involves a unilateral rash that can wrap around the waist or torso like a girdle. HZ results due to reactivation of an earlier latent infection with the varicella zoster virus (VZV) in dorsal root ganglia. It occurs at all age groups, common over 60 years of age. It is estimated that in non-immune populations, approximately 15 cases per 1000 people occur per year.

Least number of cases (9%) was in the age group of 21 to 30 years. Of the 72 subjects, thoracic involvement was noted in 30.6%, followed by lumbar (22%), and trigeminal (16%).

Abstract Geriatric trauma is a major socio-economic problem, especially among the aging Japanese society. Geriatric people are more vulnerable to trauma than younger people; thus, their outcomes are often severe. This study evaluates the characteristics of geriatric trauma divided by age in the Japanese population. We evaluated trauma characteristics in patients (n = 131,088) aged ≥ 65 years by segregating them into 2 age-based cohorts: age 65–79 years (65–79 age group; n = 70,707) and age ≥ 80 years (≥ 80 age group; n = 60,381). Clinical characteristics such as patient background, injury mechanism, injury site and severity, treatment, and outcome were examined. Injuries among men were more frequent in the 65–79 age group (58.6%) than in the ≥ 80 age group (36.3%). Falls were the leading cause of trauma among the 65–79 age group (56.7%) and the ≥ 80 age group (78.9%). In-hospital mortality was 7.7% in the 65–79 age group and 6.6% in the ≥ 80 age group. High fall in the ≥ 80 age group showed 30.5% mortality. The overall in-hospital mortality was 11.8% (the 65–79 age group, 12.3%; the ≥ 80 age group, 11.2%). Most hospitalized patients were transferred to another hospital (the 65–79 age group, 52.5%; the ≥ 80 age group, 66.2%). We demonstrated the epidemiological characteristics of Japanese geriatric trauma patients. The overall in-hospital mortality was 11.8%, and fall injury in the ≥ 80 age group required caution of trauma care.

Measles is a highly contagious disease caused by viruses and transmitted through coughing and sneezing. Symptoms of measles are high fever, spotting redness of the skin (rash) is accompanied by coughing and / or runny nose and / or conjunctivitis. In 2017 the highest measles incidence in the City of Kediri was the age group less than 15 years, namely 71.6 per 100.000 population. In addition to immunization coverage low in 2016, CBMS achievements in the last four years were also still below target, is a factor that is thought to affect the high incidence of measles in the City of Kediri. This study aims to describe the epidemiology of measles in Kediri City in the year 2014 - 2017. This research is an observational descriptive study. Population at this research is CBMS data in the City of Kediri Health Office in 2014 - 2017.

Background: This study is to describe the clinical profile of children presenting with seizure including common causes of seizure and classify the seizure types. Methods:  Hospital-based, analytic and descriptive study. This study includes all children in the age group 6 months to 12 years who presented in the department of paediatrics with seizure. Results: Seizures presented with fever in 36.00% of cases Conclusions: Seizures are one of the common causes of hospitalization. It can be inferred from this study that CNS infections are the most common cause of acute symptomatic seizure. The improvement in health care facilities like sanitation and immunization is warranted to prevent it. Keywords: Seizures, GTCS, Children
