Risk Factor Analysis of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Sri Lanka through a Nationwide Survey
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2024 Apr 9:tpmd230623. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.23-0623. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLeishmaniasis in Sri Lanka was first reported in the early 1990s. Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) cases have markedly increased in recent years, demanding due attention from health authorities. The spatial distribution of CL is not homogeneous. This case-control study investigated factors that may contribute to this heterogeneous distribution through a nationwide study. Information on sociodemographic, economic, and environmental characteristics was collected from study participants (cases, n = 303; controls, n = 2,762). All in...

An insight into emergence of lumpy skin disease virus: a threat to Indian cattle
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Apr 9;206(5):210. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03932-6.ABSTRACTLumpy skin disease (LSD) is a highly infectious and economically devastating viral disease of cattle. It is caused by Lumpy Skin Disease Virus (LSDV) belonging to the genus Capripoxvirus and family Poxviridae. The origin of lumpy skin disease has been traced to Zambia, (an African nation) in Southern part during the year 1929. The first reported case of LSD besides Africa was from Israel, a Middle Eastern nation, thus proving inter-continental spread. Subsequently, the disease entered Middle East, Eastern Europe and Asia with numerous outbreaks ...

Polyvinyl chloride solvent cement poisoning: a case report
ConclusionIngestion of a sufficient quantity ofS could result in gut absorption with central nervous system depression, coma, and even death. No antidote is available for toxicity, and management is largely supportive. As witnessed in our patient, chemical laryngitis and upper airway inflammation may lead to upper airway obstruction. Chemical reactions with medical equipment may lead to unforeseen outcomes. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

Caring burden and coping with haemodialysis: a qualitative study with family caregivers in Sri Lanka
Conclusion
The results show that the family caregivers have a multifaceted burden. They continued caring for their family member receiving haemodialysis while making adjustments to the burdensome caregiving situation despite many constraints and suffering. Psychosocial support and financial assistance, including family counselling, are needed by family caregivers, through a community support system, to ensure endurance during their family members’ illness trajectory. Advance care planning is vital to alleviate care uncertainty and to meet the care needs of patients with ESKD, particularly in resource-constrained sett...
