ABSTRACT

This review article delves into the multifaceted realm of postpartum left main spontaneous coronary artery dissection (PLMSCAD), an infrequent yet critical condition affecting women during the postpartum period. Through a comprehensive exploration of its pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, management strategies, and future directions, this review provides a holistic understanding of PLMSCAD's complexities. The article highlights challenges in diagnosis due to overlapping symptoms and underscores the significance of prompt recognition and tailored interventions. Current management strategies, encompassing medical and interventional approaches, are analysed in the context of their short-term and long-term impact on patient outcomes. Ethical considerations and the role of patient education and support networks are explored, shedding light on the broader psychosocial dimensions of PLMSCAD management. As emerging research reveals insights into genetic influences, hormonal dynamics, and the prognosis of affected individuals, this review emphasises the necessity of collaborative research endeavours and data sharing to enhance our understanding and guide future strategies. Ultimately, this review underscores the urgency of addressing the unique needs of women experiencing PLMSCAD, urging ongoing research, multidisciplinary collaboration, and a patient-centred approach to optimise maternal health outcomes and well-being.

ABSTRACT

Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) stands as a precancerous condition with the potential to progress to invasive cervical cancer. This comprehensive review explores the intricacies of CIN management, beginning with its definition, classification, and etiology. It emphasizes the significance of early detection and outlines the latest trends in diagnosis, including Pap smears, human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, and colposcopy. Grading and staging, pivotal in treatment selection, are elucidated. Current management approaches, encompassing watchful waiting, surgical interventions, emerging minimally invasive techniques, and immunotherapy, are detailed. The factors influencing treatment decisions, informed consent, and patient education are discussed. Potential complications following treatment, the importance of long-term follow-up, and the role of HPV vaccination in prevention are underscored. Finally, the review looks to the future, discussing advances in detection, novel treatments, and the promise of precision medicine. In conclusion, early detection and management remain the cornerstone of CIN care, offering hope for a future where cervical cancer is a preventable and treatable condition.

ABSTRACT

The rapid growth of web streaming platforms in India has ushered in a transformative era in entertainment consumption, particularly among the youth. This comprehensive review explores the psychosocial and sleep effects of web streaming on the younger generation. Examining the impact on social interactions, mental health, academic performance, cultural identity, and sleep patterns, the study delves into the intricate dynamics shaping the lives of Indian youth in the digital age. Key findings reveal the subtle yet significant changes in face-to-face interactions, the emergence of virtual relationships, and the potential influence on stress, anxiety, and depression due to addictive binge-watching behaviours. Moreover, the review highlights the challenges to academic performance through disruptions in study habits and increased screen time. Cultural and identity influences, both in terms of representation and misrepresentation, are explored, emphasizing the need to analyze the portrayal of Indian culture in web content critically. The sleep effects of web streaming, including sleep deprivation due to late-night binge-watching and the consequences of blue light exposure on melatonin production, add a crucial dimension to the discussion. Technological solutions such as screen time limitations, parental controls, and educational programs promoting media literacy and responsible digital consumption emerge as potential coping mechanisms. In conclusion, the study provides a nuanced understanding of the complexities surrounding web streaming and its impact on the youth in India. The implications for policy and practice underscore the importance of a balanced approach to digital consumption. At the same time, a call to action emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts in promoting responsible digital habits among the youth.
