Congenital clubfoot, or congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), is one of the most common congenital deformities. 1) It most likely represents congenital dysplasia of all musculoskeletal tissues (musculotendinous, ligamentous, osteoarticular, and neurovascular structures) distal to the knee. This conclusion is based on multiple investigators' observations of a myriad of different abnormal anatomic findings and on the functional outcome of patients who were believed to have received optimal non-operative or operative treatment but nevertheless subsequently always had some degree of impairment. 2) Congenital clubfoot is a complex three-dimensional deformity consisting of four components: cavus, adductus, varus, and equinus. The incidence of congenital clubfoot is approximately 1.2 per 1,000 live births. 3) If a clubfoot is allowed to remain deformed, many other late adaptive changes occur in the bones. These changes depend on the severity of soft-tissue contractures and the effects of walking. In untreated adults, some joints may spontaneously fuse or degenerative changes secondary to the contractures may develop. On the basis of a proper understanding of the
Purpose:To determine anti-Kell in Kashmiri population. Material and Methods: Prospective study of One Year.Result: Six patients were tested positive. Conclusion: The incidence of Kell is very low i.e., 0.03% and correlates to the incidence of Japanese.
Background: Dengue infections can result in a wide spectrum of disease severity ranging from an influenza-like illness (dengue fever; DF) to the life-threatening dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)/dengue shock syndrome (DSS). The study was aimed to compare the clinical profile of all patients diagnosed with dengue viral infection at NCMC.Methods: This retrospective study included 136 patients infected with dengue virus, age 2 years to 68 years. Laboratory and haematological data were included.Results: Peak of infection occurred in Nov. 2017 and least number of cases were recorded in September 2017. Common clinical symptoms were fever, headache and myalgia. Common haematological abnormalities were thrombocytopenia and leucopoenia. All patients survived. There was no case of dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome.Conclusions: Significant differences in the clinical profile is possibly because of infection with different serotypes of dengue virus (DENV), concurrent/sequential infection of more than one serotype, and differences in host immune responses associated with host genetic variations.
Resumo
Objetivo Estamos fazendo um estudo em pacientes internados com fraturas de quadril para determinar o impacto da COVID-19 no grupo de indivíduos vulneráveis do Reino Unido. O presente estudo nos ajudará a tomar decisões informadas sobre o reinício dos serviços cirúrgicos eletivos e a expansão dos serviços cirúrgicos em casos de traumatismos. Os objetivos do presente estudo são a determinação da incidência de COVID-19 em pacientes internados com fratura de quadril e 1) determinar a mortalidade em 30 dias em pacientes com fratura de quadril submetidos ao tratamento cirúrgico; 2) determinar a mortalidade em 30 dias de pacientes com fratura de quadril e COVID-19; 3) comparar esses dados com a mortalidade associada a fraturas de quadril em anos anteriores.
Métodos Este é um estudo de coorte unicêntrico, observacional e retrospectivo com 65 pacientes com fraturas de quadril internados em nossa instituição. Além dos dados epidemiológicos, os prontuários dos pacientes foram acompanhados por 14 dias quanto a resultados positivos para COVID-19 à reação em cadeia de polimerase (PCR, na sigla em inglês) em amostras de swab, e por 30 dias quanto à mortalidade.
Resultados Na nossa amostra, 64% dos pacientes não apresentavam comorbidade significativa. A incidência de infecções nosocomiais por COVID-19 foi de 9%. A mortalidade geral em 30 dias foi de 15%. A mortalidade foi muito maior em pacientes COVID-positivos (40%) e em pacientes com “risco muito alto” (63%) operados durante este período.
Conclusão A realização de cirurgias eletivas em pacientes com risco baixo, moderado e alto parece ser segura, já que não houve aumento apreciável da mortalidade. Mais dados são necessários para entender o impacto da COVID-19 em pacientes de risco muito alto.
