    Abstract Background: In December 2020, over 500 residents of Eluru City were hospitalised with seizures and sudden loss of consciousness (LOC) resembling the neurotoxic effects of organochlorine poisoning after a flooding event during the last week of November 2020. We described the epidemiological investigation of outbreak and identified risk factors. Methods: We performed descriptive analysis followed by 1:1 unmatched case-control study. Cases were identified through house-to-house search and review of medical records at district hospital. A case defined as sudden onset LOC or new-onset seizures in an Eluru resident aged ≥1 year, December 1–15, 2020 and a control as absence of neurological symptoms in a person aged ≥1 year selected randomly from same administrative division of the case. We compared cases and controls for possible risk factors and calculated adjusted odds ratio (aOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Biological and environmental samples were tested for contaminants. Results: We identified 545 cases (56% males), including one death. Seizures were reported in 491 (90%) cases. Median age was 27 years (interquartile range: 17–37 years) and 480 (88%) cases resided in urban area. Cases were clustered in administrative divisions supplied by municipal water reservoirs. Cases were more likely than controls to use municipal water as primary source of drinking water (aOR = 4.6, 95% CI = 1.6–13.0). High levels (average: 14.6 mg/l) of organochlorine compounds were detected in all municipal water samples (acceptable limit: <0.001 mg/l). Conclusion: This investigation highlights water ingestion as an exposure pathway for environmental contaminants (organochlorines) in the community after largescale flooding. We recommended strengthening safe water surveillance in natural disaster response contingency plans in Eluru.

    Abstract The definition of Lutembacher's syndrome has undergone many changes. It refers to combination of congenital Atrial Septal Defect with acquired mitral stenosis. Lutembacher's syndrome is a very rare disease and in the past, it has been either overdiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Here, we will discuss a case of a pregnant lady who developed breathlessness during her third trimester of pregnancy and on detailed examination and investigation, she was found to be having Lutembacher's syndrome.

    A Case Mismanaged as Pneumonia

    Abstract Pulmonary agenesis is an extremely rare congenital anomaly with an incidence varying between 1/10,000 and 12,000 births. It is defined as complete absence of bronchus, parenchyma, and vessels which may vary in degrees of severity. A variety of congenital malformations of skeletal, cardiovascular, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal systems are associated which is more commonly seen with the right-sided agenesis. It usually presents with respiratory distress and misdiagnosed as pneumonia. Herein, we are reporting a case of right lung agenesis in a 2-month-old infant who presented with dyspnea, fever, and cough since birth and were provisionally diagnosed and managed as pneumonia. The true diagnosis came to light after a computed tomography study of thorax was done to explore the cause of white-out right hemithorax seen on chest radiograph. The patient was conservatively managed and is asymptomatic after 10 months of follow-up. In this case report, we would like to highlight the importance of computerized tomography in evaluating such confounding scenarios.

    Abstract Objective: Air pollution is a leading preventable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.

    Conclusions: Personal exposure to particulate matter was associated with vascular damage in a peri-urban population in South India. Personal exposure to particulate matter appears to have gender-specific effects on the type of vascular damage, potentially reflecting differences in sources of personal exposure by gender.

    Abstract Air pollution is a leading preventable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies mostly relied on concentrations at residence, which might not represent personal exposure. Personal air pollution exposure has a greater variability compared with levels of ambient air pollution, facilitating evaluation of exposure-response functions and vascular pathophysiology. We aimed to evaluate the association between predicted annual personal exposure to PM₂.₅ and black carbon (BC) and three vascular damage markers in peri-urban South India.We analyzed the third wave of the APCAPS cohort (2010–2012), which recruited participants from 28 villages. We used predicted personal exposure to PM₂.₅ and BC derived from 610 participant-days of 24 h average gravimetric PM₂.₅ and BC measurements and predictors related to usual time-activity. Outcomes included carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) and augmentation index (AIx). We fit linear mixed models, adjusting for potential confounders and accounting for the clustered data structure. We evaluated nonlinear associations using generalized additive mixed models.Of the 3017 participants (mean age 38 years), 1453 (48%) were women. The average PM₂.₅ exposure was 51 µg/m³ (range 13–85) for men, and 61 µg/m³ (range 40–120) for women, while the average BC was 4 µg/m³ (range 3–7) for men and 8 µg/m³ (range 3–22) for women. A 10 μg/m³ increase of PM₂.₅ was positively associated with CIMT (0.026 mm, 95% CI 0.014, 0.037), cf-PWV (0.069 m/s, 95% CI 0.008, 0.131) and AIx (0.8%, 95% CI 0.3, 1.3) among men. The exposure-response function for PM₂.₅ and AIx among men showed non-linearity, particularly within the exposure range dominated by tobacco smoking and occupational exposures. Both PM₂.₅ and BC were positively associated with AIx among women (0.6%, 95% CI 0.2, 1.0, per 10 μg/m³ PM₂.₅; 0.5%, 95% CI 0.1, 0.8, per 2 μg/m³ BC).Personal exposure to particulate matter was associated with vascular damage in a peri-urban population in South India. Personal exposure to particulate matter appears to have gender-specific effects on the type of vascular damage, potentially reflecting differences in sources of personal exposure by gender.
