Etiology of cervicitis: Are there new agents in play ?
Conclusion: We concluded that there are changing etiological patterns of cervicitis. There is need to use tests that detect wider array of organisms, and can replace standard culture methods with molecular assays ,to increase the ability to diagnose more number of organisms implicated in cervicitis.

Cytomegalovirus induced genital ulcer in human immunodeficiency virus positive patient
Kavya K Shree, Sachin Somashekar, Eswari LoganathanIndian Journal of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and AIDS 2022 43(2):198-200Cytomegalovirus (CMV) can cause life-threatening disease in immunocompromised patients, such as those with human immunodeficiency virus. It is a rare but important cause of ulceration in the female genital tract. Although cutaneous manifestations are rare, there are growing reports of CMV infections in genital and perigenital ulcers in immunocompromised individuals. CMV disease of the female genital tract may result in significant morbidity, with fever, pain, bleeding, and superinfection, and it may...

Female sexual dysfunction: A potential minefield
Smitha S Prabhu, Snigdha Hegde, Suhani SareenIndian Journal of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and AIDS 2022 43(2):128-134Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a much-neglected aspect of feminine health, especially in patriarchal cultures. We collated data from pertinent published literature on FSD to explore the types, associations, and best possible approach to FSD in the Indian context. We fed search words “female sexual dysfunction,” “sexual health,” “India,” into medical search engines such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Clinical Key, ProQuest, SciVa...

Marijuana and electronic cigarettes on cardiac arrhythmias
Marijuana use has continued to increase since the legalization of the substance by many states. It is estimated that by the end of 2022, 52 million Americans will have used marijuana. As of August 2022, 38 states either decriminalized cannabis or authorized its use for medical or recreational adult use. Physicians must become aware of not only potential medical benefits but also potential medical dangers of this substance. Potential benefits, including those of synthetic cannabinoids, include reduction of severe nausea and vomiting related to cancer chemotherapy, improvements in certain types of pain, reduction in seizures...

Design and Functionality of a Multilumen Thoracic Access Port for Pericardial Access Under Direct Visualization
J Med Device. 2022 Dec 1;16(4):041005. doi: 10.1115/1.4054999. Epub 2022 Jul 26.ABSTRACTSmall vasculature, venous obstruction, or congenital anomalies can preclude transvenous access to the heart, often resulting in open chest surgery to implant cardiac therapy leads for pacing, defibrillation, or cardiac resynchronization. A minimally invasive approach under direct visualization could reduce tissue damage, minimize pain, shorten recovery time, and obviate the need for fluoroscopy. Therefore, PeriPath was designed as a single-use, low-cost pericardial access tool based on clinical requirements. Its mechanical design aids i...

The Supercapsular Percutaneously Assisted Total Hip Approach Does Not Provide Any Clinical Advantage Over the Conventional Posterior Approach for THA in a Randomized Clinical Trial
CONCLUSION: The SuperPATH approach had no clinical advantages over the posterior approach, resulted in more complications, and only showed a short-term reduction in pain. The results of our small randomized controlled trial can be used to calculate future sample sizes, but our data suggest that any differences favoring the SuperPATH approach are likely to be small and transient. This approach should not be used routinely in clinical practice until an adequately powered trial shows clinically important differences in patient-relevant endpoints. The improved postoperative recovery is likely multifactorial and not dependent o...

Functional Impairment and Cognitive Symptoms Among People with HIV Infection on Chronic Opioid Therapy for Pain: The Impact of Gabapentin and Other Sedating Medications
AbstractGabapentin is associated with dizziness, falls, and somnolence yet commonly prescribed to people with HIV (PWH) treated with chronic opioid therapy (COT). Physical function and cognition are understudied when prescribed together. Among PWH on COT, we evaluated whether co-prescribed gabapentin is associated with (a) functional impairment; (b) trouble thinking clearly; and (c) difficulty controlling drowsiness using logistic regression models adjusted for prescribed opioid dose, other (non-gabapentin) sedating medication, substance use disorder, and mental/physical health indicators in a cross-sectional study. Among ...
