Alternate Biochemical Markers in Organophosphate Poisoning
J Assoc Physicians India. 2023 Aug;71(8):11-12. doi: 10.59556/japi.71.0325.ABSTRACTIn India, organophosphates are the most widely used pesticides for suicide by poisoning. Early recognition of the diagnosis and its severity will help in achieving a better outcome. In poisoning by organophosphorus compounds, serum acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and pseudocholinesterase are currently widely accepted as biochemical markers for estimating the severity. A wide array of alternate, cheap, and easily available markers are explored in this review and using a combination of these markers may be better in terms of early identification o...

J Assoc Physicians India. 2023 Aug;71(8):11-12. doi: 10.59556/japi.71.0308.ABSTRACTSickle cell disease patients are prone to infection and overwhelming sepsis because an immunedeficient state arises from asplenia (autosplenectomy/surgical splenectomy) and functional hyposplenism. The common pathogen encountered in sepsis with asplenic/hyposplenism patients is encapsulated organism, gram-negative bacilli, but in developing countries like India, there are many possibilities of infection by an uncommon organism that make it difficult to diagnose. Here, we have described a case of sickle cell disease presented with persistent ...

Swallowing Dysfunction after Acute Stroke: The Incidence, Predictors and Outcome
CONCLUSION: Swallowing dysfunction should be checked in all cases of strokes, including unilateral hemispheric strokes and in fully conscious patients. Swallowing improves with time, but the patient may require feeding assistance in an acute setting. Dysphagia is more common in strokes with higher NIHSS, involving more brain parenchyma and posterior circulation strokes.PMID:37651239 | DOI:10.59556/japi.71.0301 (Source: Journal of the Association of Physicians of India)
