Introduction: Mortality rate is always very high in Intensive Care Units (ICU) even with the best possible set ups, we should try to cater the need of the society according to the disease burden so that better care can be provided. Aim: To estimate the prevalence of various medical disease mortality profile of critically ill patients admitted in Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) of our institution. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective observational study done at MICU of Bundelkhand Medical College and Hospital Sagar, Madhya Pradesh, India for a duration of one year (1st January 2019 to 31st December 2019). Data was retrieved from Medical Records Department (MRD) and total data of 349 deaths were registered. Disease was classified based upon ICD 10 (International Statistical classification of Diseases and related health problems) Score. Results: A total of 349 deaths occurred in MICU during the period of one year at the institution, out of which male deaths were 55.9% and Female deaths were 44.1%. MICU deaths occurred in higher numbers in males with Male: Female ratio of 1.2:1. This difference in ratio of male and female mortality was not statistically significant (p-value >0.05). Mean age of males at time of death was 58.4±16.3 years whereas mean age of females were 55.2±19.7 years. This difference in mortality with age and gender was not statistically significant (p-value >0.05). In present study, most common systemic causes of mortality were cardiovascular (29.8%), followed by respiratory (17.5%), renal (16.5%) and cerebrovascular diseases (13.8%). Mortality was documented in 276 (79%) individuals within duration of seven days of admission, whereas mortality in 46 (13.1%) and 27 (7.7%) cases were documented within 8 to 14 days and >14 days, respectively. The present study documented no statistically significant association between length of stay and age of patients (p-value >0.05). Conclusion: Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes leading to mortality especially in elderly male patients. Also, higher number of deaths is reported within seven days of admission signifying severity of illness at the time of admission.

Background: Aging is a natural process associated with many functional and structural changes. These changes may include impaired self-regulation, changes in tissues and organs. Aging also affects mood, physical status and social activity. There are adverse changes in cognitive behavior, perceived sensation and thinking processes. Regular physical activity can alleviate many health problems; yet, many older adults are inactive. Yoga is one of the scientific and popular lifestyle practice considered as the integration of mind, body and soul. Results of previous studies reported positive effects of yoga on multiple health outcomes in elderly. However, there is scarcity of scientific information where yoga’s effect is examined on over well-being and on multiple health outcomes simultaneously in elderly. This protocol describes methods for a 12-week yoga-based intervention exploring the effects of yoga on well-being in physically inactive elderly living in community. Methods and analysis: This two group parallel single blind randomized controlled trial that will be conducted at a designated facility of R.D. Gardi Medical College, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, Central India. A 12-week 60-min yoga intervention three times weekly is designed. Comparison group participants will undergo a 60-min program comprising light exercise focusing on conventional stretching to improve mobility. After screening, 144 participants aged 60–80 years will be recruited. The primary outcome is subjective well-being. Secondary outcomes include mobility, fall risk, cognition, anxiety and depression, mood and stress, sleep quality, pain, physical activity/sedentary behavior and cardio-metabolic risk factors. Assessments will be conducted at baseline (0 week), after the intervention (12+1 week) and at follow-up (36+1 week). Intention-to-treat analyses with mixed linear modeling will be applied. Discussion: Through this trial, we aim to determine whether elderly people in the intervention group practicing yoga show more favorable primary (well-being) and secondary outcomes than those in the light exercise focusing on conventional stretching group. We assume that yoga may be practiced to maintain health, reduce particular symptoms commonly associated with skeletal pain, assist in pain relief and enhance well-being. We anticipate that practicing yoga will improve well-being and mental health and may lead to significant improvement in depression, pain and sleep quality.Ethics and dissemination: This study is approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of R.D. Gardi Medical College, Ujjain, IEC Ref No. 09/2018. All participants would be provided with written and verbal information about the purpose of the project and would be free to withdraw from the study at any time. Refusal to participate in the study would not have any negative consequences. Confidentiality of the information of each participant would be ensured. Knowledge obtained would be disseminated to stakeholders through workshops, meetings and relevant scientific conferences.Trial Registration: The trial is prospectively registered with the Indian Council of Medical Research Trial Registry CTRI/2018/07/015051.

BACKGROUND: Breast, cervical and oral cancers are the leading causes of cancers in India. High mortality with these cancers is due to presentation in the advanced stages. In India, doctors practically cannot treat each and every patient due to a huge doctor: patient ratio. In such a situation, nursing and paramedical staff can be helpful in providing their services in identication, screening and diagnosing of these cancers. AIM: The present study was undertaken with an aim to evaluate the awareness of nurses and paramedical staff regarding breast, cervical and oral cancers. STUDY SETTING AND DESIGN: The prospective, observational study was conducted at at Smt. Rajmata Vijyaraje Sindhia Medical College & Hospital, Shivpuri and at District Hospital, Shivpuri. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: 300 nursing and paramedical staff working in the above institutions were enrolled after verbal consenting. A self-administered structured questionnaire was administered to them. After an intervention in the form of discussion, the same questionnaire was readministered. The data from these questionnaires were evaluated and results presented. This questionnaire consisted of sections related to prevention, risk factors, associated symptoms and detection methods. RESULTS: Before intervention, 17.3% participants had knowledge about prevention, 19% about risk factors, 10% about the symptoms and 8% about early detection technique. After intervention, there was an improvement in these domains. The mean post-test knowledge score was signicantly higher than pre-test knowledge score (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Overall we found that nursing and paramedical staff lack knowledge about these three major cancers. After imparting knowledge, there was an improvement in their knowledge. To make these nursing and paramedical staff competent enough to identify, screen, diagnose these cancers, there is requirement of knowledge centers.
