Background: Diarrhoea is one of the commonest clinical entities encountered regularly in clinical practice. In India, at least 1.5 million children die due to acute diarrhoea per year. Timely recognition, high index of suspicion and thorough understanding of various clinical signs in different types of dehydration is necessary in preventing the deaths. The present study focuses on the different types of biochemical alterations and electrolyte disturbances in cases of acute diarrhoea among children.Methods: A prospective study with ethical committee consent was done at a tertiary care hospital for two years in department of Paediatrics. All cases of acute diarrhoea attending with signs and symptoms of moderate and severe dehydration were included. Clinical history and necessary biochemical investigations including serum electrolytes were performed. The results and data were entered in an excel sheet and analysed.Results: 250 cases were enrolled in the study with males (57.6%) and females (42.4%). 1month to 5 years with 84 cases (33.6%) was the most common age group with mean age of 11.48± 2.4 years. History of passage of loose motions was with a frequency ranging from 6-12 /day with a mean frequency was 8.12/day. 80.8%cases had some kind of electrolyte abnormality with majority having isolated Hyponatremia and a combined Hyponatremia and Hypokalemia (33.6%) each.Conclusions: Diarrhoeal disorders can be easily prevented with proper hand hygiene practices, health awareness programmes, increased breast-feeding practices and proper disinfection of water. Hyponatremia, hypokalemia, combined Hyponatremia and hypokalemia are major electrolyte abnormalities in cases of diarrhoea.
This paper assembles a progressive learning-based research show organizing human resource organization system (HRMS) and legitimate execution from the perspective of various levelled learning structure is useful to decrease the costs also it saves the time, joining and altering Human Resource tries to whatever is left of the partnership. Experts will be locked in and secure with more information and decrease over their work life. With this Human Resource Management Framework one can easily develop the work frameworks and approach. The fit flexibility features keep delegates present and fulfilling, even as statutes and controls change. For gifted relationship of commercial process, computerization in the current circumstance. The fundamental reason for the undertaking is to build up a HRM structure is the Intranet Automation of HR Software .HR framework gives the data with respect to the pros I the affiliation.
There are many protocols available for treating poisonous snake bites and every treating physician thinks that he is always right. We submit a prospective study done over a period of seven months in a tertiary care hospital in Tamil Nadu. This study emphasizes on low dose ASV as a measure for better clinical response and reducing the morbidity and mortality. Aim of the Study: The aim of the study is to prove that low dose ASV can reduce morbidity and mortality, if the guidelines given by state/ national/ WHO are followed on the basis of individual requirements. Material And Methods: This is a prospective observational study in a tertiary medical care hospital, Dharmapuri, Tamil Nadu, south India, between Jan 2016 to July 2016 with 545 patients all are presented with history of snake bite and285 patients with signs of envenomation exclusion criteria all patients with pre existing renal disease, those who are on drugs like aspirin and clopidogrel, and patients with previous history of bleeding diathesis are excluded from this study Results: Totally we encountered 2295 snake bite patients over a period of 3 years from 2013-2015. Among them, 112 (4.88%) patients died of snake bite related AKI. Average number of ASV vials used per patient ranged from 9.27 to 14.83, thus showing the efficacy of low dose ASV regimen. Conclusion: Our study shows that when the signs and symptoms are carefully and constantly observed, low dose ASV is not inferior to high dose ASV in effectively treating snake bite patients as ASV neutralizes only unbound, free flowing venom.
Background: Malaria is one of the major vectors borne disease globally responsible for 1 million deaths a year. Changing trends in the causative species and epidemiological distribution have identified icterus and renal involvement as an emerging complication associated with severe mortality in children. The objectives of this study were aimed to study the clinical profile of malaria cases admitted in a pediatric ward. The study also highlights the involvement of renal manifestations in the cases with regard to species distribution and associated complications in the study group.Methods: A prospective study for 14 months was conducted, and all positive cases of malaria admitted in paediatric unit were enrolled and socio demographic data, clinical history were collected, and biochemical investigations were performed and analyzed. SPSS software version 12 was used for analysis. Statistical significance was set at p ≤0.05.Results: About 278 subjects with 55.4% males, 44.6% females and with 5-10 years was most common age group. 102 cases of vivax malaria, 152 cases were falciparum and 24 were mixed cases. Cerebral malaria, hyperparasitemia was identified in 28 cases, DIC in 5.04% of cases. Renal involvement was observed in 38.16% of falciparum infections and 27.45% of vivax infections. 68 cases developed acute renal failure as a severe complication.Conclusions: Renal involvement is more in falciparum and mixed infections than vivax malaria. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment help in early recovery of cases and halts to progression to renal failure. An urgent need for a biomarker for early identification of renal involvement in malaria before biochemical involvement is detected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
