    Abstract Background: Hyperinflammation, hypercoagulation and multi-organ dysfunction are life-threatening complications needing immediate attention in moderate-tosevere COVID-19 patients. We present our real world experience with Itolizumab, a repurposed immunomodulatory monoclonal antibody, administered in COVID-19 patients.
    Methodology: Data from 25 confirmed moderate-to-severe COVID-19 patients, with high levels of pro-inflammatory markers and pulmonary function worsening on best supportive care and Itolizumab were included in this analysis. Patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation were excluded. Clinical parameters (oxygen requirement) and laboratory parameters (ferritin, interleukin [IL]-6, C-reactive protein [CRP] and absolute lymphocyte count [ALC]) were studied preand post-treatment. Average total length of stay in hospital and ICU, percentage of patients requiring ICU admission and average time taken for weaning off oxygen for all patients were also reported.
    Results: All Patients were in the range of 30-78 years of age, with majority being male (76%). Most prevalent comorbid conditions were diabetes (64%) and hypertension (28%). Median IL-6 value showed a decline by 85.4%. Significant reduction in median CRP (86.96%) and Ferritin (55.61%) was observed post- Itolizumab compared to pre-dose values. Median ALC improved from 1605 cells/ mm3 (pre-dose) to 2462.5 cells/mm3 (post-dose). Average recovery time, defined as time from Itolizumab infusion to discharge was 9.28 ± 4.04 days. Average duration of hospitalization and ICU admission was 14.24 ± 4.15 and 8.27 ± 4.47 days, respectively, with 76% patients recovered and discharged. Median oxygen saturation improved from 88 % (pre-dose) to 96 % (post-dose). All patients were weaned off oxygen within Avg + SD : 6.53 ± 2.09 days post-Itolizumab treatment. One and two point reduction in ordinal scale was observed in 88% and 76% patients, respectively. Three patients (12%) did not show improvement in ordinal sore of which two patients died because of complications due to pre-existing comorbidities. The all-cause mortality of 8%; was considered not related to Itolizumab. One infusion related event reported abated with infusion period extension.
    Interpretation and conclusion: A single dose of Itolizumab accelerated recovery in adult patients with COVID-19 by controlling immune hyperactivation. The clinical improvement was demonstrated by reduction in inflammatory markers, weaning off oxygen, reduced length of hospital stay and improvement of ordinal score. Itolizumab was well tolerated and when administered in the early phase of the inflammatory cascade is an efficient therapeutic option for treatment of cytokine release syndrome in moderate to severe COVID-19 patients.

    Abstract Study design: Retrospective study.
    Purpose: In this study, we describe an endoscopic method of effectively treating tubercular lumbar spondylodiskitis with early onset epidural spinal cord compression in the lumbar spine on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
    Overview of literature: Percutaneous aspiration and biopsy of spondylodiskitis under ultrasonography and computer tomography scan invariably provides an inadequate diagnosis.
    Methods: From May 2015 to May 2017, 18 patients presented with intractable back pain and were diagnosed with tubercular spondylodiskitis on MRI; these patients were enrolled in this study. The goal was to confirm the pathogen on biopsy, drain the abscess, and perform debridement. Chemotherapy was started after histologic diagnosis, and data collected included blood cell counts, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, and repeat MRI after 3 months.
    Results: Mean duration of surgery was 52 minutes. Mean follow-up was 17 months. The average preoperative Visual Analog Scale score of 8 (range, 6-10) decreased to 3 (range, 1-8) postoperatively. Tubercular spondylodiskitis was observed in 14 cases; two cases were pyogenic, and the biopsy was inconclusive in two cases. After adequate chemotherapy, no recurrences were noted.
    Conclusions: We hereby conclude that endoscopic biopsy and drainage can provide a better diagnosis and decrease pain in a predictable manner.

    Abstract Objective: To compare normal saline (NS) vs. NS+budesonide irrigations in post- functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with polyposis (CRSwNP). Currently, no evidence exists for NS+budesonide irrigation over NS irrigation alone.
    Study design: Prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial.
    Methods: Subjects were prospectively enrolled to NS or NS+budesonide arms. Patients were evaluated at pre-operative and three post-operative visits (POV): POV1 (1-2 weeks post-op), POV2 (3-8 weeks post-op), and POV3 (3-6 months post-op). Patients were evaluated by three quality of life (QOL) questionnaires (SNOT-22, RSOM-31, and RSDI) and two olfaction scores (UPSIT and the PEA test).
    Results: Fifty patients were randomized, with 25 patients in the NS arm and 25 patients in the NS+budesonide arm. Two patients had unexpected pathology and were excluded from the study. By POV2 and POV3, patients experienced a significant improvement in all three QOL surveys, although the degree of improvement between arms was not significant up through POV3. Neither arm experienced significant olfactory improvement up through POV3.
    Conclusions: While both NS and NS+budesonide treatments improve QOL for post-FESS patients, neither intervention significantly increases QOL as compared to the other. Olfaction was not significantly improved in either treatment group.

    Abstract Purpose: Colistin, which had not been used widely because of nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity, has gained clinical importance in recent times due to the resurgence of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli. Very few studies, especially pharmacokinetic studies, have been performed with intravenous colistimethate sodium, and none in India. The aim of our study was to study the single-dose and steady-state pharmacokinetics of colistin in patients with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli infections.
    Method: This was a prospective open-label pharmacokinetic study done in an intensive care unit in a tertiary care hospital on 15 critically ill patients with proven multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli infection. Colistimethate sodium was injected as intermittent intravenous infusions in accordance with the recommendations on the package insert. For patients weighing ≥ 60 kg with a normal renal function or with a creatinine clearance (CL(CR)) of between 20 and 50 ml/min, the drug was administered at 2 million international units (MIU) every 8 h; for those with a CL(CR) of 10-20 ml/min, the dose was 2 MIU every 12 h. Those patients who weighed <60 kg were administered 50,000 IU/kg/day in three divided doses at 8-h intervals. Both single-dose and steady-state pharmacokinetics of colistin were determined and correlated with clinical outcomes.
    Results: A wide inter-individual variation was observed in pharmacokinetic parameters. The median (range) of the maximum plasma drug concentration/minimum inhibitory concentration (C(max)/MIC) ratio for Acinetobacter spp. was 13.4 (1.3-40.3) following the administration of a single dose of colistimethate sodium and 26.3 (0.9-64.9) at steady-state. For Pseudomonas spp., these values were 3.18 (1.6-23.1) following the single dose and 3.82 (2.3-10.9) at steady-state. For those patients whose cultures grew Acinetobacter spp., an optimum value of the C(max)/MIC ratio of >8 was achieved in seven of nine patients after the single dose and in seven of eight patients at steady-state. For those patients whose cultures grew Pseudomonas spp, only one patient after the single dose and one patient at steady-state achieved a C(max)/MIC ratio of >8. A significant association was noted between dose and survival, and a trend was observed with patients weighing ≤ 60 kg (who received 50,000 IU/kg/day instead of 6 MIU/day for those >60 kg) having an increased mortality.
    Conclusion: The pharmacokinetic parameters of colistin were comparable to those reported in previous studies in critically ill patients. However, the recommended dose may be inadequate to maintain the C(max)/MIC ratio to an optimal level-at least in patients infected with Pseudomonas spp. The dose recommendation should be based only on creatinine clearance and not body weight.
