Introduction: Over the past decade, the number of cases of dengue fever has augmented intensely globally. Half the world's population is now under threat. Pakistan has also very high dengue fever per year, with regular reports of dengue outbreaks compared to other countries. Dengue infection should be treated as a solitary ailment with various clinical pictures, vacillating from symptomless situations to severe clinical sequences, which may result in high mortality and morbidity. Aim: To investigate the laboratory parameters and clinical profile in patients with dengue fever. Study Design: A Retrospective observational study. Place and Duration: In the Department of Medicine of Jalan Bani Bu Ali hospital Oman for one-year duration from July 2020 to July 2021. Methods: At least IgM positive or NS1 positive or IgM with NS1 positive or reactive ELISA assay for dengue fever detection but without any co-infection, bone marrow disease confirmed the cases of dengue without other confounding factors, such as alteration of clinical and laboratory data. The results were analyzed for the study. SPSS 21.0 was applied for Statistical analysis. Results: A total of 52 cases were tested positive for dengue fever. The patients mean age was 27.60 +/- 13.98 years and vacillated from 13 to 75 years. Of the total number of patients, 30 (57.69%) were in the age group 21 to 40 years. Of the 52 cases, 36 (69.23%) were male, 16 (30.77%) were female with M:F ratio was 2.2: 1. 42 (80.77%) of all cases were hospitalized for 5 days or less, and 10 (19.23%) were hospitalized for more than 5 days. The mean hospital stay was 3.67±1.40, ranging from 2 to 8 days. Fever was observed in all (100%) of the total number of cases. Conclusions: In this analysis, all patients have fever, and body pain, headache and malaise were communal signs, but a substantial quantity of cases also had respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, dry cough and diarrhea.

There are different forms of sleep apnea, each with different causes. Fortunately, they are all treatable. 1] Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) occurs when the muscles and soft tissues in the upper airways relax and become blocked during sleep. It is often accompanied by loud snoring or snorting. OSA is the most common form of sleep apnea, 2] Central sleep apnea (CSA) occurs when the brain stops sending signals to the respiratory muscles while sleeping. Although the airways remain open, breathing stops. CSA is less common than OSA, 3] Mixed sleep apnea is a combination of central and obstructive sleep apnea, and Common to all of these disorders is the occurrence of apneas and hypopneas. Apnea is when the muscles and soft tissues in the upper airways slacken and collapse to the point that they are completely blocked for 10 seconds or more. Hypopnea is a partial blockage of the airways that decreases airflow by more than 50% for 10 seconds or more.
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.
