Prevalence and correlates of social networking addiction and its association with adult ADHD and stress among students of a medical college

Introduction: Repeated use of social network is said to cause addiction. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is disorder found in childhood. Studies have shown that such children continue to have the symptoms of ADHD as adults. The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of social networking addiction and Internet addiction and their relationship with ADHD. Also, to assess the relationship between perceived stress and sociodemographic factors with social networking and internet addiction. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 150 undergraduate and postgraduate students of BMCRI after ethical clearance. Medical students who gave consent were included through stratified random sampling. Those who were taking treatment for psychiatric illness were excluded. Scales like the Young Internet addiction test (IAT); Bergen’s Facebook Reporting Scale, ADHD Self-Reporting Scale, and Wender Utah Brief Rating Scale for ADHD, and Cohen Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) for perceived stress have been used. Results: The mean age was found to be 21.56 ± 3 years. 62.6% were males and 37.33% of were females. The prevalence of Internet addiction was found to be 23.3% (n = 35), with 2% (n = 3) were having severe addiction, 6.6% (n = 10) were having moderate Internet and 14.6% (n = 22) having mild internet addiction according to modified Young’s criteria (2011). The prevalence of social networking addiction as per the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale (BFAS) score was 4.66% and adult ADHD was 15%. There was a strong positive correlation (0.76) between Internet Addiction and Facebook addiction scores and between BFAS score and IAT score. A moderate positive correlation (0.46 and 0.47) between Internet addiction and Facebook addiction with perceived stress and ADHD and IAT score with PSS score and ASRS score, weak positive correlation with PSS score and ASRS score was observed. Conclusion: A significant proportion of medical students develop Internet addiction and minority develops social network addiction. Furthermore, perceived stress and ADHD scores are positively correlated with internet and social networking addiction.

Clinical features of early-onset pediatric traumatic glaucoma and predictive factors for the need of early glaucoma surgery

Purpose: To assess the clinical presentation of pediatric patients having early traumatic glaucoma and to analyze early predictors for the need of filtration surgery. Methods: Patients with early traumatic glaucoma after close globe injury (CGI) from January 2014 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical features, treatment provided (medical and surgical), and visual outcomes were documented. Patients were divided into two groups based on the management required: group A? trabeculectomy and group B? medication + minor surgery. Results: A total of 85 patients were studied after applying the necessary inclusion and exclusion criteria. Out of these, 46 underwent trabeculectomy for the control of intraocular pressure (IOP) and the remaining 39 were managed with antiglaucoma medications. Significant male predominance of 9.6:1 was observed. Patients presented to the hospital after a mean duration of 8.5 days posttrauma. Wooden objects were most commonly responsible for trauma. Mean best corrected visual acuity at presentation was 1.91 log of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR). Mean IOP at presentation was 40 mmHg. The common anterior segment finding were severe anterior chamber (AC) reaction (63.5%), followed by angle recession (56.4%). Severe AC reaction (P = 0.0001) and corneal microcystic edema (P = 0.04) were significant predictive factors for early need of trabeculectomy. Conclusion: Need of trabeculectomy was higher in patients with severe AC reaction and corneal microcystic edema. The threshold to perform trabeculectomy should be lower, as glaucoma is often relentless, severe, and may result in irreversible vision loss.

Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis Presenting as a Renal Mass: A Scarce Case Report with a Review of the Literature

Wegener granulomatosis (WG) now known as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is an uncommon autoimmune disorder of undivulged etiology affecting the respiratory tract including paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity, lungs, and kidneys predominantly. GPA presenting as a solitary renal mass is rarely seen. We present a case report of a 27-year-old female presenting with a right renal mass along with pain, low-grade fever, and arthralgia. Computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed a hypodense low attenuated renal mass with indistinct margins. Ultrasound-guided biopsy revealed features typical of GPA. She was started on oral steroids (prednisolone 40?mg) and azathioprine. She developed pain, vomiting, and diarrhea after starting treatment with azathioprine. Azathioprine was stopped and rituximab 1?g weekly was started for 4 weeks followed by 500?mg 6 monthly injections. She got symptomatic relief at 4 weeks with a diminution of renal mass at 6 months follow-up. We report this rare entity of WG presenting as renal mass. Suspecting and diagnosing renal mass as a part of GPA prevented us from undertaking unnecessary surgical treatment in this patient. Medical treatment with steroids and rituximab is effective in inducing remission and maintenance.

A Cross Sectional Study on Sexual Dysfunction and Quality of Life in Patients with Bipolar Affective Disorder

Introduction: Sexual dysfunction is one of the leading causes of psychological distress in bipolar affective disorder patients. The current study aims to study the relationship between sexual dysfunction and quality of life in patients with Bipolar affective disorder in remission. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study of purposively sampled bipolar patients in remission (N=60) was conducted in an OPD setting. After reinforcing confidentiality and privacy, data was collected and analyzed. Results: 73% with BD reported impaired sexual function. About 51.7% and 48.3% of male and female participants, respectively, had at least one form of sexual dysfunction. Better sexual function was associated with a higher degree of satisfaction with sexual life and higher QoL score. Conclusion: Sexual dysfunction is associated impaired quality of life, poor functioning and poor medication adherence. Hence, it should be made a routine practice to evaluate and address the problem of sexual dysfunction in patients with Bipolar affective disorder.

A cross sectional study on Medication adherence during the covid pandemic in patients with schizophrenia

Background: Around 2/3rd of patients with schizophrenia do not receive long-term appropriate treatment and have 2-3 times higher risk of early death. There are several factors which affects medication adherence especially during covid period. Our aim was to estimate the prevalence and factors affecting medication non-adherence in patients with schizophrenia during the period of covid pandemic. Materials and methods: It was a cross-sectional observational study done in 82 patients with schizophrenia. Socio-demographic and clinical details were collected. Details pertaining to medication non-adherence during covid were collected using semi-structured proforma. Medication adherence was assessed using Morisky Medication Adherence Scale 4 (MMAS 4) and treatment compliance in last 6 months was collected from patient case records. Results: Our study showed 63% patients with medication non-adherence. Patients from semi-urban and rural background, with residence far from psychiatric facility and non-availability of transport were found to be at more risk of developing medication non-adherence, which were considered as economical factors related to non-adherence. Conclusion: 63% of patients had increased medication non-adherence during covid period. Our findings underline the fact that treatment non-adherence maybe further affected by economy related factors during covid period.

Expression of Ki67 as Potential Biomarker in Oral Submucous Fibrosis: An Immunohistochemical Study

Background: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a potentially malignant disorder (PMD) known to transform into oral cancer. One of the important hallmarks of malignant transformation is the uncontrolled growth rate, commonly reflected as increased cell proliferation which can be significantly detected by proliferative markers such as a high Ki?67 index. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the degree and pattern of expression of Ki67 in OSMF, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and in normal mucosal (NOM) patients and to correlate the Ki67 expression with clinical and histological grading of OSMF and OSCC patient. Materials and Methods: A prospective cross?sectional study was conducted over a duration of two years. An immunohistochemical study was performed for Ki76 expression on 35 cases of OSMF, 10 cases of OSCC and 10 normal mucosal patients. Statistical Analysis: Data were analysed using SPSS version 21. Chi?squared test was used to analyse the differences between the intensity levels in OSMF, OSCC and NOM. Results: Expression of Ki67 was significantly higher in OSMF than that of NOM samples but less than that of OSCC samples. Expression of Ki67 increased with increasing grade of clinical and histological stages. Conclusion: The study demonstrated a high incidence of Ki67 overexpression in OSMF and OSCC and showed a correlation between clinical and histological grading of OSMF and OSCC. Identification of high?risk oral PMDs and intervention at premalignant stages could constitute one of the key steps in reducing the mortality, morbidity and cost of treatment associated with malignant transformation of these diseases

Incidence of cancers of unknown primary origin in India and their trends during 1986–2014: A joinpoint regression analysis

Background: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) origin is cancer in which malignant cancer cells are in the body but the site of cancer where it began is unknown. Detailed incidence and time trends of these cancers, specific to various regions in India is needed. This paper aims to summarize and report the incidence of other and unknown (O&U) cancers across India in 27 population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) and to study the trends among these cancers using joinpoint regression analysis. Methods: Data on the incidence of CUP were obtained from the published reports on 27 PBCRs of the National Cancer Registry Programme (NCRP) of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). A joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the long-term trends of incidence related to CUP based on published data from PBCRs between 1986 and 2014. Annual Percent Change (APC) in incidence rate was estimated for various registries. Results: The northeast region had the highest age-adjusted rate (AAR) for both men (1.76–29.7) and women (1.99–14.68). Age-specific rate (ASR) for both men (39.8–855.7) and women (48.2–470.4) was highest in the northeast region. There is an increase in the incidence rate for all six major registries over the past decade with an exception of women in the Delhi Cancer Registry. There is a decline in incidence rate by 0.14 during 1990–2012 in the female population of the Delhi registry. Conclusion: The increasing incidence trends of CUP is a matter of concern for the healthcare professionals and researchers. There is a need for research and advanced and improved diagnostic tools for the improvement of the status of O&U cancers.

DISEASES OF MOTH BEAN [VIGNA ACONITIFOLIA (JACQ.) MARECHAL]

Pulses are obtained from leguminous plants that have many bioactive components and good nutritional value, being rich in protein, vitamins, and abundant macro- and micronutrients and thus contribute to global food security. Moth bean is compatible with the climatic conditions of Rajasthan because it is a drought-resistant crop though it is affected by many pathogenic microorganisms as fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Infection of these microorganisms causes damage to plants which results in loss of productivity. In the current context, a review on fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases of moth bean has been dealt with. The major diseases of moth bean reported are leaf blight, leaf spots, seedling stem and root rot, pod rot, web blight, common bacterial blight, and mung bean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) causing yield loss

Ilizarov Ring External Fixation for Complex Tibial Plateau Fractures / Fixação externa do anel de Ilizarov para fraturas complexas do platô tibial

Abstract Objective To analyze the results of clinical, radiological, and functional outcomes of tibial plateau fracture (Schatzker Type V, VI) treated with Illizarov ring external fixator with or without minimum opening. Methods A total of 52 tibial plateau fractures of type V, VI were treated with Ilizarov ring external fixator with or without mininum internal fixation were studied. Functional outcome assessment was done using the American Knee Society (AKS) score with clinical, radiological union, and complications were analyzed. Results There were 37 (71.15%) male and 15 (28.84%) female patients, with a mean age of 39.07 ± 12.58 years old. Road traffic accidents (RTAs) were the major cause of fracture, accounting for 32 cases (61.53%) followed by fall injury, with 16 cases (30.76%), and direct impact, with 4 cases (7.69%). Twenty-one (40.38%) cases were type V and 31 (59.61%) cases were type VI fractures, and there were 24 (46.15%) cases of open fracture. The mean AKS score of Type V and Type VI fractures were 82.8 and 80.70, respectively, but this was statistically not significant at p<0.05. The mean AKS score of closed and open fractures were also statistically not significant at p<0.05. Conclusions For Schatzker Types V and VI complex tibial plateau fractures, Ilizarov external fixation is a safe, cost-effective and efficient treatment method that presents a satisfactory outcome.

O escore médio da AKS para fraturas fechadas e abertas também não foi estatisticamente significativo em p <0,05. Conclusões Para a fratura do planalto tibial complexa dos tipos V e VI de Schatzker, a fixação externa de Ilizarov é um método de tratamento seguro, econômico e eficiente que resulta em resultados satisfatórios.

Asymptomatic SARS-COV-2 carriage and sero-positivity in high risk contacts of COVID-19 cases’

Purpose: Identifying asymptomatic SARS-COV-2 carriage is one of the crucial factors in controlling the COVID 19 pandemic. The relationship between the asymptomatic viral carriage and the rate of seroconversion needs better understanding. The present study was conducted to identify the asymptomatic COVID-19 infection and seropositivity in high-risk contacts in the southern district of Delhi, India. Methods: Following the screening of 6961 subjects, a total of 407 asymptomatic high-risk subjects were selected. Demographic data, socioeconomic status, and history of COVID-19 related symptoms in the last 4 months were recorded. Blood samples and Nasopharyngeal/oropharyngeal swabs were collected for the detection of SARSCOV-2 RNA and anti-SARS-COV-2 antibodies. Results: 55 asymptomatic high-risk subjects (13.5%) tested positive for SARS-COV-2 infection and among them, 70.9% remained asymptomatic throughout their course of infection. The seropositivity among the subjects was 28.9% (n ¼ 118) and was found significantly higher among lower-middle socioeconomic strata (p ¼ 0.01). The antibody levels were significantly higher (p ¼ 0.033) in individuals with a previous history of COVID-19 like symptoms as compared to the subjects, who had no such history. Asymptomatic healthcare workers showed a significantly increased rate of SARS-COV-2 infection (p ¼ 0.004) and seropositivity (p ¼ 0.005) as compared to the non-healthcare workers. Subjects, who were exposed to infection at their workplace (non-hospital setting) had the least RT-PCR positivity rate (p ¼ 0.03). Conclusions: A large proportion of SARS-COV-2 infection remains completely asymptomatic. The rate of asymptomatic carriage and seropositivity is significantly higher in healthcare workers as compared to the general population. The level of SARS-COV-2 antibodies is directly related to the appearance of symptoms. These observations may contribute to redefining COVID 19 screening, infection control, and professional health practice strategies.

Safety and procedural outcomes of intravascular lithotripsy in calcified coronaries in Indian patients

Objective: Calcified coronaries still remain a major challenge for interventional cardiologist. This study aims to evaluate safety and efficacy of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in management of coronary artery calcification. Methods: This was a retrospective single centre study regarding the utility of IVL in management of calcified coronaries. Patients with hemodynamically stable acute coronary syndrome or symptomatic chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) and calcified coronaries on angiography and who underwent IVL were enrolled. Intravascular imaging was performed wherever feasible. The primary endpoint was procedural success. In addition, data regarding procedural complications were collected. Results: A total of 29 patients underwent IVL with a majority being males and having comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes. A procedural success rate of 93.1% was achieved with no patient having >50% residual stenosis. IVL catheter was successfully delivered in all patients. The mean catheter diameter was 3.3 ± 0.4 mm and mean number of delivered pulses was 70.3 ± 16.4. The arteries most commonly intervened were the left main coronary and the left anterior descending artery. Intracoronary imaging revealed a significant increase in minimum luminal cross-sectional area (MLA) post IVL (preMLA: 5.1 ± 2.5 mm2 ; post-MLA: 10.7 ± 2.9 mm2 ; P<0.001). Two patients had in-hospital MACE in form of peri-procedural non Q-wave MI. No patient had arrhythmias, stent thrombosis, coronary perforation, or slow flow/no-reflow. Two patients had a rupture of IVL balloon while four had coronary artery dissection. Conclusions: IVL is a safe and highly effective modality with high procedural success rate in management of calcified coronaries.

Outcomes and risk factors for failure of trabeculectomy with mitomycin C in children with traumatic glaucoma - A retrospective study

Purpose: To determine surgical outcomes and risk factors for failure of trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (TMMC) in pediatric traumatic glaucoma. Methods: Children who underwent TMMC post trauma from January 2014 to December 2019 were reviewed. Demographic features, ocular findings, and surgery details were noted. Surgical success was defined as achieving intraocular pressure (IOP) within 6–21 mm Hg. Results: Seventy?one eyes of seventy patients underwent TMMC. The mean age of the patients was 11.28 ± 3.63 years with a male/female ratio of 13:1. The median time from trauma to IOP rise was 13 days. The majority of the patients (n = 64, 90.1%) had close globe injury. Baseline IOP was 39.3 ± 10.5 mm Hg. Results of the surgery were noted at the last visit. Cumulative success was noted in 51 (71.8%) eyes, while 20 (28.2%) eyes were labeled failures. Mean IOP reduced from 39.3 ± 10.5 to 14.5 ± 8.1 mm Hg. Mean visual acuity improved from 2.3 ± 0.93 to 1.19 ± 1.08 logMAR. Post surgery, the mean follow?up of the patients was 20.3 ± 11.4 months. Age <6 years (RR 3.6), elevated IOP at 1 month after TMMC (RR 2.19), and hypotony within a week of surgery (RR 1.81) were found as independent risk factors of surgical failure. Conclusion: TMMC is effective in reducing IOP in traumatic glaucoma. Young age and inability to control IOP within normal ranges in the immediate period after surgery are important risk factors of failure.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome – An unusual case of primary amenorrhea

The onset of menstruation is a significant milestone of sexual maturation in a girl child. Although there are numerous causes of primary amenorrhea, Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, also known as Müllerian aplasia, is one of the extremely rare causes of primary amenorrhea which is usually picked up by suitable imaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging. Affected females have a normal female hormonal function and a normal karyotype but non-functional vagina and uterus which make it an interesting entity. Although specific treatment is not known for this entity except for vaginoplasty and creation of a neovagina for sexual gratification, the clinical and diagnostic workup of these patients has evolved in recent years and infertility treatment and child-bearing through in vitrofertilization have become a part of the long-term treatment plan for these females.

Gender differences in emotional regulation capacity among the general population

Background: Emotional regulation plays crucial part in overall psychological well-being of an individual as it impacts how he responds to stimuli. Evidences from past suggest that there are differences in emotional regulation strategies based on gender in patients suffering from different illnesses. However there is limited literature on emotional regulation strategies in general population. Material and methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted at a tertiary care centre on 60 subjects comprised of both genders, with no psychiatric or physical co-morbidity at present or in past. Emotional regulation among both genders was studied using Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS). Results: There was no significant difference in the socio-demographics of male and female participant groups. Among both gender, males had significantly higher difficulties in acceptance of emotions (P=0.035) and impulse dyscontrol (P=0.014) when compared to women. However, women had significantly lesser emotional clarity compared to men (P=0.003). Conclusion: These differences in emotional regulation strategies may be responsible for differences in clinical presentation and prevalence of various psychiatric illnesses among the gender group. Knowledge about emotional regulation strategies among both genders would help initiate gender specific interventions to avoid maladaptive behaviors and to prevent the onset or progression of illness.

When to Discharge a Patient After Endoscopy: A Narrative Review

Video endoscopy is an important modality for the diagnosis and treatment of various gastrointestinal diseases. Most endoscopic procedures are performed as outpatient basis, sometimes requiring sedation and deeper levels of anesthesia. Moreover, advances in endoscopic techniques have allowed invasion into the third space and the performance of technically difficult procedures that require the utmost precision. Hence, formulating strategies for the discharge of patients requiring endoscopy is clinically and legally challenging. In this review, we have discussed the various criteria and scores for the discharge of patients who have undergone endoscopic procedures with and without anesthesia.

Global Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Cerebral Venous Thrombosis and Mortality / 대한뇌졸중학회지

Background@#and Purpose Recent studies suggested an increased incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We evaluated the volume of CVT hospitalization and in-hospital mortality during the 1st year of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the preceding year. @*Methods@#We conducted a cross-sectional retrospective study of 171 stroke centers from 49 countries. We recorded COVID-19 admission volumes, CVT hospitalization, and CVT in-hospital mortality from January 1, 2019, to May 31, 2021. CVT diagnoses were identified by International Classification of Disease-10 (ICD-10) codes or stroke databases. We additionally sought to compare the same metrics in the first 5 months of 2021 compared to the corresponding months in 2019 and 2020 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04934020). @*Results@#There were 2,313 CVT admissions across the 1-year pre-pandemic (2019) and pandemic year (2020); no differences in CVT volume or CVT mortality were observed. During the first 5 months of 2021, there was an increase in CVT volumes compared to 2019 (27.5%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 24.2 to 32.0; P<0.0001) and 2020 (41.4%; 95% CI, 37.0 to 46.0; P<0.0001). A COVID-19 diagnosis was present in 7.6% (132/1,738) of CVT hospitalizations. CVT was present in 0.04% (103/292,080) of COVID-19 hospitalizations. During the first pandemic year, CVT mortality was higher in patients who were COVID positive compared to COVID negative patients (8/53 [15.0%] vs. 41/910 [4.5%], P=0.004). There was an increase in CVT mortality during the first 5 months of pandemic years 2020 and 2021 compared to the first 5 months of the pre-pandemic year 2019 (2019 vs. 2020: 2.26% vs. 4.74%, P=0.05; 2019 vs. 2021: 2.26% vs. 4.99%, P=0.03). In the first 5 months of 2021, there were 26 cases of vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), resulting in six deaths. @*Conclusions@#During the 1st year of the COVID-19 pandemic, CVT hospitalization volume and CVT in-hospital mortality did not change compared to the prior year. COVID-19 diagnosis was associated with higher CVT in-hospital mortality. During the first 5 months of 2021, there was an increase in CVT hospitalization volume and increase in CVT-related mortality, partially attributable to VITT.

Rare case of concomitant juxtarenal aortic aneurysm and type 1 Inferior Vena Cava duplication: -intraoperative challenges to avoid catastrophe / Caso raro de aneurisma de aorta justarrenal e duplicação do tipo 1 concomitantes na veia cava inferior - desafios intraoperatórios para evitar catástrofes

Abstract Duplication of the inferior vena cava is a rare congenital anomaly, with an incidence of 0.2-3%. Despite being asymptomatic, anomalies of IVC are important in aortoiliac and retroperitoneal surgeries. Preoperative CT imaging is essential to identify any IVC anomaly and to prevent unexpected hemorrhage during surgery. Here, we report a case of a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm in which we encountered a type I IVC duplication anomaly intraoperatively while performing transperitoneal aneurysmorrhaphy and took precautions to avoid any iatrogenic injuries to either of the two trunks or the pre-aortic trunk of the anomalous duplicate IVC.

Resumo A duplicação da veia cava inferior (VCI) é uma anomalia congênita rara com incidência de 0,2 a 3%. Apesar de assintomáticas, anomalias da VCI são importantes em cirurgias aortoilíacas e retroperitoneais. A imagem da tomografia pré-operatória é essencial para identificar qualquer anomalia de VCI e para evitar hemorragia inesperada durante a cirurgia. Relatamos um caso de aneurisma de aorta abdominal justarrenal, no qual encontramos uma anomalia de duplicação de VCI do tipo 1 intraoperatório enquanto realizávamos correção cirúrgica de aneurisma transperitoneal. Por isso, tomamos a precaução para evitar qualquer lesão iatrogênica nos dois troncos e no tronco pré-aórtico de VCI duplicada anômala.
