Artery Disease

Background: coronary artery disease is one of the most common types of cardiovascular disorder and it occurs when the coronary artery that supply blood to the heart muscle is compromised due to the accumulation of materials such as plaque/cholesterol atherosclerosis risk factors associated with coronary artery disease   men are susceptible at 45, women at 55 include age, gender, genetics, etc, Objective: To identify the patients at elevated risk for CAD, To identify patients required further investigation to confirm the diagnosis of CAD, To describe a management plan including lifestyle changes, medications, psychosocial support, cardiac rehabilitation, etc. Methods:  A prospective observational study was conducted for a period of 6 months, from CAD patients attending max cure hospital. The data was collected from the participants after consent. Relevant patient lifestyles and lab data were documented in the data collection form (DCF). Results: The study findings are according to parameter wise, age categorization defines that in 51-60 ranging age group 27.22% that is the highest percent affected people are observed with CAD.  Of the total number of subjects participated in the study (n=202) the gender-wise comparison males (144) are more than females (58).To observe patient region, urban people (68%) are mostly affected with CAD than rural people (32%). To identify risk factors of CAD, patients with DM (34.67%), HTN (23%), smoking (17.32%), alcohol (25.74%), and obesity (13.86%) are the major risk factors associated with CAD. Based on family history a total of 21 members were identified out of 202, among them with CAD were 7, with CKD were 6, with HTN were 5 and with DM were 3 members respectively.  According to the past history in a total of 202 members, patients with Cerebrovascular accidents were 4, patients with MI/UA were 20, and CKD were 4 respectively. Conclusion: Evaluation of risk factors in patients with coronary artery disease in a tertiary care hospital was observed. Age, Diabetes mellitus, Hypertension, Smoking, Alcohol, and Obesity are more causing risk factors than others.

Introduction: Pregnant women have also been affected globally due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As foeto-maternal unit is involved, hence it is important to know possible manifestations and outcome of COVID-19 affected pregnant women. The findings of the study can be a guide for betterment of COVID-19 affected antenatal patients care. Aim: To find the outcome of pregnancies affected by the COVID- 19 infection of the Antenatal care (ANC) patients who presented to the tertiary care hospital in terms of laboratory parameters, treatment of the infection, mode of delivery, adverse outcome if and presence of documented infection in newborn. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective observational study done from May 2020 to December 2020 conducted on the admitted pregnant women to the tertiary care hospital who tested positive for the COVID-19 virus were included in the study. Data collection (symptoms, reports and treatment) from these pregnant COVID-19 positive patients was done. Patients who were discharged before delivery were contacted telephonically and were asked the relevant information. Results: During the study period, total 1150 COVID-19 positive patients were admitted to the hospital. Amongst these, there were 441 female patients including pregnant and non pregnant women. Amongst the 441 COVID-19 infected female patients, 20 were pregnant. Majority of the patients were in the age group of 21-30 years. An 85% of women were in their third trimester at the time of admission. Pre-eclampsia and Hypothyroidism were the major co-morbidities observed. Six maternal Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admissions were noted. Breathlessness was the main symptom seen followed by sore throat, fever and cough. Previous Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS) and foetal distress were cited as the main reasons for undergoing LSCS. No vertical transmission of virus was seen in the study. There were two neonatal ICU admission. Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH) was administered to 33% patients. Fifty percent of the patients were prescribed steroids. Conclusion: Advanced gestational age, pre-eclampsia, hypothyroidism, elevated levels of d-dimer, Neutrophil/Lymphocyte (NL) ratio and C-reactive protein were seen as the main findings. Mother to child transmission was not observed in this study.

Introduction: Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is the presence of actively multiplying bacteria within the urinary tract with absence of any symptoms, resulting in adverse pregnancy outcomes. This research study was done in order to review prevalence, antimicrobial susceptibility profile, and factors associated with ASB occurring in female patients who are pregnant and being treated at a tertiary care hospital in Lucknow, India. Method and Materials: This is a cross-sectional study done among 216 pregnant women attending a hospital for antenatal check-ups. Clean catch midstream urine samples were collected and examined microscopically, and semi-quantitative culture was done on blood agar and MacConkey agar. Isolates were identified by colony morphology and biochemical tests, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done by using the Kirby-Bauer method. Results: Of the 216 pregnant women, 36 (16.7%) tested positive for ASB. The female gestational period, haemoglobin level, and BMI were significantly associated with ASB. Logistic regression also showed that higher haemoglobin level was less likely to ASB (AOR = 0.42, 95% confidence interval: 0.202–0.88, p = 0.021). The predominant and usual isolates were E. coli (n = 22, 61.1%), followed by Cons (n = 6, 16.7%), and S. aureus (3, 8.3%). All Gram-negative isolates were mostly sensitive to most of the drugs like piperacillin-tazobactam, cefepime, nitrofurantoin, and meropenem but were 100% resistant to ampicillin. Similarly, Gram-positive isolates were sensitive to ampicillin, vancomycin, linezolid, and nitrofurantoin but 100% resistant to co-trimoxazole. Conclusion: The present study shows the existence of ASB was 16.7% among women who are pregnant. Pregnancy duration, haemoglobin level, and BMI were significantly associated with ASB. The isolates identified more frequently were E. coli (61.16%), Cons (16.7%), and S. aureus (8.3%). All isolates which were Gram-negative were mostly sensitive to most of the drugs but were 100% resistant to ampicillin. Similarly, Gram-positive isolates were sensitive to most of the drugs but 100% resistant to co-trimoxazole.
