Objective: In recent years, the incidence of Bordetella pertussis infection in infants and young children has been increasing. Multiple studies have suggested that B. pertussis may be one of the pathogens of bronchiolitis in infants and young children. However, the prevalence and clinic characteristic of B. pertussis in bronchiolitis is controversial. This prospective descriptive study evaluated the prevalence and clinical manifestations of infants and young children hospitalized for bronchiolitis with B. pertussis.Methods: Children hospitalized with bronchiolitis were eligible for a prospective study for 36 months from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019. Besides B. pertussis, 10 common respiratory viruses and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) were confirmed by laboratory tests. Medical records of patients were reviewed for demographic, clinical characteristics, and laboratory examination.Results: A total of 1,092 patients with bronchiolitis were admitted. B. pertussis was detected in 78/1,092 (7.1%) patients. Of the 78 patients with B. pertussis bronchiolitis, coinfections occurred in 45 (57.7%) patients, most frequently with human rhinovirus (28/78, 35.9%), followed by MP (9/78, 11.4%), and human bocavirus (6/78, 7.7%). The peak incidence of B. pertussis infection was in May. A high leukocyte count could help distinguish B. pertussis–associated acute bronchiolitis from other acute bronchiolitis etiologies. After excluding coinfections, children with B. pertussis–only bronchiolitis exhibited a milder clinical presentation than those with RSV-only infection; also, children with MP-only and other pathogen infections revealed similar severity. The morbidity of B. pertussis was common (31/78, 39.7%) in infants with bronchiolitis under 3 months.Conclusion: In summary, B. pertussis is one of the pathogens in children with bronchiolitis, and coinfection of B. pertussis with other viruses is common in bronchiolitis. B. pertussis should be considered when patients hospitalized with bronchiolitis present a longer course and have an elevated leukocyte count. Patients with B. pertussis–associated bronchiolitis present a milder clinical presentation.

Introduction: The classification of strokes subtypes is important, since they have different management and prognoses. This study aims to verify associations between the etiologies of the stroke according to the TOAST classification and the clinical presentation by the subtypes of the Oxfordshire scale. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study, with patients admitted to a stroke unit of a reference hospital in Salvador-BA between 11/2017 and 03/2020. We included patients over 18 years of age and didn’t include patients with inaccuracies in the filling of medical records or who didn’t meet the criteria for admission to the cohort. Results: 300 patients between 25 and 98 years old (mean: 64 years; SD: 13.34) were analyzed. Regarding cardioembolic etiology (CE), 34 patients (45.3%) had lacunar syndromes (LACS) and 25 (33.3%) Partial Anterior Circulation Syndrome (PACS). Patients with Large Artery Atherosclerosis (LAA) 24 (40.7%) had PACS while 21 (35.6%) of the LACS patients diagnosed with small vessel occlusion (SVO) 22 (62.9%) had LACS. Futhermore, patients with cryptogenic strokes (CS) had predominantly PACS and LACS, 27 (31%) and 40 (46%) respectively. Conclusion: Based on the results of acute strokes of CE, SVO and CS origin are related to LACS. The events originated by LAA are more associated with PACS. Events caused by SVO were related to lacunar syndromes, corroborating with findings in the literature.

Background COVID-19 often causes respiratory symptoms, making otolaryngology offices one of the most susceptible places for community transmission of the virus. Thus, telemedicine may benefit both patients and physicians. Objective This study aims to explore the feasibility of telemedicine for the diagnosis of all otologic disease types. Methods A total of 177 patients were prospectively enrolled, and the patient’s clinical manifestations with otoendoscopic images were written in the electrical medical records. Asynchronous diagnoses were made for each patient to assess Top-1 and Top-2 accuracy, and we selected 20 cases to conduct a survey among four different otolaryngologists to assess the accuracy, interrater agreement, and diagnostic speed. We also constructed an experimental automated diagnosis system and assessed Top-1 accuracy and diagnostic speed. Results Asynchronous diagnosis showed Top-1 and Top-2 accuracies of 77.40% and 86.44%, respectively. In the selected 20 cases, the Top-2 accuracy of the four otolaryngologists was on average 91.25% (SD 7.50%), with an almost perfect agreement between them (Cohen kappa=0.91). The automated diagnostic model system showed 69.50% Top-1 accuracy. Otolaryngologists could diagnose an average of 1.55 (SD 0.48) patients per minute, while the machine learning model was capable of diagnosing on average 667.90 (SD 8.3) patients per minute. Conclusions Asynchronous telemedicine in otology is feasible owing to the reasonable Top-2 accuracy when assessed by experienced otolaryngologists. Moreover, enhanced diagnostic speed while sustaining the accuracy shows the possibility of optimizing medical resources to provide expertise in areas short of physicians.

Congestive heart failure (CHF) occurs when the heart doesn’t pump blood to meet the oxygen demand of the various organs. Usually congenital heart disease (CHD) like VSD, PDA, CoA, TGA physiology, ECD, Ebstein anomaly present with CHF before U5 age. In India most common cause of CHF from 5 to 15 yrs. age is due to Rheumatic Fever / RHD. We also get cases like pericardial effusion, constrictive pericarditis, DCM, AR in rheumatic disease, iron overload causing myocardial failure in Thalassemia and anemia presenting as CHF as in more than 5-year children. CHF cases contribute to about 10% of mortality in children.We conducted a Hospital based descriptive and cross-sectional study from November 2018 to October 2020 at Pediatric department of M.K.C.G Medical College Hospital, Berhampur. All pediatric patients with signs and symptoms of CHF as per clinical diagnosis in the age group of 1 month to 14 year were included in our study. The study population was 136. Out of the total cardiac cases, 57% were CHD, 43% were acquired. Among the total 105 cardiac cases of CHF, CHD were 60(57.2%). Out of the total CHD, acyanotic heart diseases were 46.7% and acquired heart diseases constituted 42.8%. Out of total 136 cases 87(63.2%) were discharged, 23(17.6%) died, 19 cases (14%) were referred to higher centre. After data collection detail analysis was made by SPSS software. An initiative regarding addressing the problematic Congestive heart failure along with its clinical management will definitely help the future generation and researchers.

Background: The incidence and prevalence rates of heart failure (HF) are increasing worldwide. The prevalence of HF rises exponentially with increasing age and affects 4% to 8% of people older than 65. The leading causes of HF in India include coronary artery disease (CAD), diabetes, hypertension, rheumatic valvular heart diseases and primary cardiac muscle diseases. Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is still a common cause of HF in India. Epidemiological studies have estimated that 1.5% to 2% population experience HF and it is the main reason for hospital admission of elderly patients. The objective of this study was to establish the etiological factors of heart failureMethods: A cross sectional study of 150 patients above the age of 18 years presented with heart failure diagnosed clinically on the basis of Framingham heart failure criteria and echocardiography, done over a period of one year in department of medicine in BRD medical college Gorakhpur Uttar Pradesh.Results: A total of 150 patients were include in this analysis the majority of patients were male (57.3%). Age of patients ranged from 18 - 70 years and 84% patients were above the age of 40 years.Conclusions: Heart failure was more prevalent in elderly male above 40 years of age. Myocardial infarction, DCMP, rheumatic heart disease and hypertensive heart failure are the common etiology leading to heart failure.

Circulatory failure, developing at a certain stage of the course of most heart diseases, is a progressive process, associated with high morbidity and mortality. The effectiveness of generally accepted conservative and resynchronizing therapy for disease progression is relatively low. Mortality of patients with clinically severe congestive heart failure (CHF) reaches 26-29% within a one year after diagnosis. Thus, heart transplantation is the main option for patients with endstage heart failure. About 5,000 heart transplants are performed annually in the world, with 95% of them occurring in North America and Western Europe. But even in countries with a high level of transplantation activity, donor organs of the required quality are still sorely lacking. In such a situation, the main alternative to transplantation may be the use of artificial heart ventricles usually called as ventricular assist device (VAD). In the long run, VAD therapy can serve as a tool for healing (“bridge to recovery”), as a tool of awaiting of further transplantation (“bridge to transplantation”), or as a destination therapy. The article presents the experience of using VAD (in the form of left ventricular bypass) in five patients with end-stage CHF. In order to replace the function of the heart LV, a miniature implant system for auxiliary blood circulation INCOR VAD (Berlin Heart GmbH, Berlin, Germany) was used. Our experience from 5 cases has successfully demonstrated that the implantation of a system for long-term mechanical support of the heart to patients with progressive heart failure can be an effective method of treatment that can safely extend the waiting time for heart transplantation.

Background: Brucellosis is a common zoonotic disease with protean clinical manifestations. Osteoarticular involvement is the most common complication of the disease. This study aimed to compare the clinical and para-clinical manifestations of brucellosis among the patients with and without spondylodiscitis. Methods: In this comparative and cross-sectional study, 135 patients having brucellosis with and without spondylodiscitis and admitted to Sina hospital in Hamadan, Iran from March 2009 to March 2014 were included. Clinical and para-clinical data of the patients were obtained from their medical records in the hospital based on a designed checklist. Results: Thirty-five patients having brucellar spondylodiscitis (BS) with the mean age of 55.60±14.31 years, and 100 patients having brucellosis without BS with the mean age of 43.27±18.35 years were examined. A significant difference was found between the mean age of the patients with spondylodiscitis and that of those without spondylodiscitis (P<0.001). All patients with spondylodiscitis complained of back pain and vertebral tenderness, while 60% of the patients without BS suffered from back pain but experienced no vertebral tenderness (P=0.003). The most common vertebral involvement in spinal MRI of the patients with BS was L4-L5 (45.7%). Patients with spondylodiscitis had more increased ESR and CRP than those without spondylodiscitis (P<0.001). Conclusion: It is recommended that Brucellar spondylodiscitis be considered in the differential diagnosis of the patients with prolonged fever, back pain, and vertebrae tenderness in the endemic areas.
