    Abstract Background Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of mortality in India, with the majority being attributed to cyanotic conditions. Hence, it is crucial to assess the factors that play a significant role in patient prognosis in heart defects of a child. The present cross-sectional study assessed the prevalence of thrombocytopenia in patients with cyanotic congenital heart defects (CCHD). The objectives of our study were to assess the levels of platelets in various cyanotic congenital heart defects and then infer the prevalence of thrombocytopenia in these patients as a whole.  Methodology The study population comprised children aged fifteen days to twelve years with two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography confirmation of CHD; those who were critically ill, had proven sepsis, and were not willing to participate in the study were excluded. Blood samples of enrolled patients were obtained and collected in ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) tubes for assessment. The prevalence was then calculated. Results were obtained and interpreted based on these observations. Result Out of 268 children with CHD, 52 reported thrombocytopenia, and the prevalence rate was found to be 19.4. The comparative analysis of thrombocytopenia showed a significant p-value only in cases with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC). Conclusion Patients with cyanotic congenital heart defects are often diagnosed with various hematological derangements, and while hemoglobin levels are usually seen to rise, significant thrombocytopenia is reported in these patients. The low platelet counts often pose a risk peri-surgically and can also affect the surgical outcomes of the patient. Therefore, it is imperative to study further the relationship between thrombocytopenia and an independent risk factor for patient prognosis in patients of CCHD.

    Abstract In 2019, the United States (US) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended that healthcare providers engage in shared clinical decision making for adults aged 27-45 who may benefit from HPV vaccination. However, it is difficult to assess these benefits as there is a lack of data on HPV burden on young and mid-adult women. This analysis estimates the incidence of conization and the burden associated with treating pre-cancerous states related to HPV with a loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) or a cold knife conization (CKC) among commercially insured women aged 18-45. This retrospective cohort study used the IBM MarketScan commercial claims encounter database for women aged 18-45 treated with conization. We assessed the annual incidence of conization (2016-2019) and adjusted the two-year health care costs post-conization using a multivariable Generalized Linear Model (GLM)-accounting for follow-up time and other characteristics-stratified by the age groups, namely 18-26 and 27-45. The inclusion criteria were met by 6735 women, with a mean age of 33.9 years (SD = 6.2). Conization incidence was lowest for women aged 18-26 (41/100,000 to 62/100,000 women-years) and highest for women aged 31-35 (243/100,000 to 269/100,000). The GLM-adjusted, all-cause healthcare costs per patient per year were USD 7279 and USD 9249 in the 18-26 and 27-45 age groups, respectively. The adjusted costs for disease-specific care were USD 3609 and USD 4557 for women ages 18-26 and 27-45, respectively. The burden of conization and the associated costs were significant, indicating a potential healthcare benefit of HPV vaccination among young and middle-aged women.

    Abstract Background and aim: The rising incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Australia is related to increasing rates of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). This study aimed to prospectively characterize the metabolic profile, lifestyle, biometric features, and response to treatment of HCC patients in an Australian population.
    Method: Multicenter prospective cohort analysis of newly diagnosed HCC patients at six multidisciplinary team meetings over a 2-year period.
    Results: Three hundred and thirteen (313) newly diagnosed HCC patients with MAFLD (n = 77), MAFLD plus other liver disease (n = 57) (the "mixed" group), and non-MAFLD (n = 179) were included in the study. Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) (43%) and MAFLD (43%) were the most common underlying liver diseases. MAFLD-HCC patients were older (73 years vs 67 years vs 63 years), more likely to be female (40% vs 14% vs 20%), less likely to have cirrhosis (69% vs 88% vs 85%), showed higher ECOG, and were less likely to be identified by screening (29% vs 53% vs 45%). Metabolic syndrome was more prevalent in the MAFLD and mixed groups. The severity of underlying liver disease and HCC characteristics were the same across groups. While the MAFLD population self-reported more sedentary lifestyles, reported dietary patterns were no different across the groups. Dyslipidemia was associated with tumor size, and those taking statins had a lower recurrence rate.
    Conclusion: Equal to ALD, MAFLD is now the most common underlying liver disease seen in HCC patients in Australia. Future HCC prevention screening and treatment strategies need to take this important group of patients into consideration.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the clinical profile and screening guidelines of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in an urban level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
    Methods: : Infants with ≤2000-gm birth weight or <34 weeks gestational age were prospectively screened for ROP in an urban level III NICU between January 2018 and December 2020, based on national screening guidelines. Standard guidelines were used for ROP classification and treatment.
    Results: In total, 211 infants completed screening; 46 (21.8%) infants developed ROP and 13 (6.2%) had type 1 (laser treatable) ROP. Of the 46 infants with ROP, 44 (95.65%) had zone 2 and two (4.34%) had zone 1 disease. In the 102 infants with ≤1500-gm birth weight, the incidence of ROP and type 1 ROP were 41.18% and 11.76%, respectively. Out of the 109 infants with >1500-gm birth weight, four (3.67%) developed ROP and one (0.91%) infant (an outborn) required treatment.
    Conclusion: The majority of infants developing ROP in a level III urban NICU had ≤1500-gm birth weight. Zone 1 ROP was uncommon. Incidence of ROP in heavier infants (>1500-gm birth weight) was low, and treatment was required in a rare instance. In an urban NICU, the burden of ROP screening and treatments shifts to small and low-birth-weight infants.

    Abstract Acute and chronic lower back pain can be commonly caused by intervertebral disc prolapse. This prolapse usually occurs in the dorsal direction and towards the anterior epidural space. In extremely rare cases, this migration/herniation can be seen approaching the posterior epidural space. One such rare instance has been recorded and described in our patient, a 53-year-old with a history of hypertension who presented with persistent lower back pain, radicular in nature, and recent acute aggravation, leading to mobility impairment. The patient experienced numbness in the lower limbs, urinary incontinence, and irregular bowel movements. Sensory deficits were noted along the L3 dermatome. The patient underwent an L3 laminectomy, revealing extruded disk fragments causing the compression. After surgery, the patient's power in the lower limbs began to improve, with significant recovery by discharge and complete resolution of bowel and bladder incontinence. This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges of posterior epidural mass-like lesions in the lumbar spine, emphasizing the importance of prompt surgical intervention in restoring neurological function. The successful outcome underscores the significance of early diagnosis and intervention in such cases, ultimately improving the patient's quality of life.

    Abstract Introduction Menstruation affects many young girls in a negative way in relation to their physical and psychological health despite being a reasonably common issue in daily life. Their health relies on their learning about fundamental menstruation hygiene. They have a significant risk of developing ailments due to their lack of education in this area. Young girls can avoid several preventable illnesses by being educated about menstruation hygiene and practices. Therefore, our study aimed to assess the impact of a health education intervention on the knowledge, attitude, and practice of teenage girls about menstrual hygiene. Materials and methods The current educational interventional study design evaluates the impact of an educational intervention on menstrual hygiene in teenage females. Adolescent girls were educated about the practices and taboos related to menstruation. They were assessed using a pretest and post-test after the intervention. The results of the pre- and post-study tests were compared, and the effect of the intervention was determined. Result A noteworthy observation of the study was that only 87 (34.8%) teenage girls were aware of hygienic practices before menarche. The didactic lecture had a favorable impact, and after two months, 2.40% of the 6.80% of females who changed their reusable pads just once a week began replacing them every two days. Additionally, a shift in hygiene behaviors was noted; 17.20% of the 33.60% of individuals started washing their hands with soap and water after changing their menstruation pads, which was significant (p=0.05). Conclusion The study assessed the impact of a short-term intervention on the menstrual habits practiced by adolescent girls. We concluded that an intervention in the form of educational counseling can significantly impact the menstrual hygiene practices of adolescent girls. Teaching teenage females resulted in a considerable improvement in their menstruation habits, which has a beneficial overall effect.

    Abstract Purpose: Previous research has systematically studied the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-based interventions in managing both mental and physical symptoms of chronic disease including depression, stress-related mental disorders (SMD), and chronic pain that are common causes of sick leave. However, a systematic review focusing on the effectiveness of CBT in facilitating RTW is lacking. This study compiles research on utilizing CBT-based interventions for helping employees on sick leave return to work.
    Methods: Randomized controlled trials (RCT) published between 1 January 1990 and 27 June 2022 were searched in MEDLINE, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, Scopus, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and PubMed. The primary outcome variables included a return to work (RTW) measure and sickness absences. The secondary outcomes include psychological conditions (mental illness, stress, anxiety, and depression) and physical condition (working ability, fatigue, and physical function).
    Results: Thirty-four RCTs were included in the analysis. Fifteen RCTs with 1727 participants reported on sick leave. Results showed that participants who completed CBT intervention had reduced sick leave in days (mean reduction - 3.654; 95%CI - 5.253, - 2.046; p < 0.001) compared to the control group. Sixteen papers with 2298 participants reported that the intervention group RTW 1.5 days earlier (95%CI 1.019, 1.722; p < 0.05). CBT-based interventions were effective in managing fatigue, mental illness, and depression, and improving physical function while it showed no effects in managing stress, anxiety and working ability.
    Conclusions: The findings indicate that CBT-based interventions are effective in reducing the length of sick leave and facilitating the RTW of employees in the intervention group.
