    Abstract Background and objective: Parkinson's disease sleep scale-2 (PDSS-2) is a reliable sleep assessment tool which has been validated in several languages. As sleep problems have a great impact on the quality of life of Parkinson's disease patients, we aimed to translate and validate PDSS-2 in Hindi for its wider use among Hindi-speaking Indian patients. Our study objective was to translate PDSS-2 in Hindi (H-PDSS-2) and to assess the psychometric properties of H-PDSS-2 questionnaire for its use in Hindi-speaking Indian PD patients. Secondly, we aimed to compare the results with those of the other language PDSS-2 validation studies.
    Material and methods: This study was done in two phases, enrolling 16 patients and 16 controls in the first/translation phase for assessment of internal consistency and discriminative power of PDSS-2. The test-retest reliability was determined in the second phase on 35 Parkinson's disease patients who were followed-up at an interval of 7-10 days.
    Results: No difficulties were faced by the patients and controls in the first phase, and internal consistency of the scale was good (Cronbach's alpha = 0.804). There was no significant difference in total H-PDSS-2 score at baseline 16.86 ± 10.59 and on retest 16.40 ± 9.54, suggesting good reliability. Intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from 0.710 to 0.901, and precision was 2.82 over the period of 7-10 days. Subdomains of H-PDSS-2 had moderate/high internal validity, and they showed significant correlation with Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS) and HY disease scale.
    Conclusion: H-PDSS-2 is equivalent to the original PDSS-2 for tested psychometric attributes. Its use among Indian Parkinson's disease patients will help in the comprehensive assessment of sleep problems among PD patients.

    Abstract Background: Literature on the efficacy and safety of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in pediatric patients is limited. Hence, we aimed to compare ESPB versus caudal epidural block (CEB) in children undergoing abdominal surgery.
    Methods: In this patient and assessor-blind study, fifty-two ASA I-II patients, between 1 to 9 years of age, were randomized into groups of 26 each. ESPB group received unilateral or bilateral ultrasound (USG)-guided ESPB with 0.5 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine per side. CEB group received USG-guided CEB with 1 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine. The primary objective was to estimate the proportion of patients requiring postoperative rescue analgesia. The secondary objectives were to assess postoperative Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability (FLACC) scale scores, duration of analgesia, and consumption of rescue analgesic drugs.
    Results: More patients in the ESPB group (88.4%), compared to the CEB group (42.3%), required rescue analgesics (
    Conclusion: In children undergoing abdominal surgery, both ESPB and CEB were safe and efficacious. CEB provided a longer duration and better quality of analgesia. ESPB may be considered when CEB is contraindicated or difficult.

    Abstract Objectives: Scant data from India are available on the gender differences in presenting features of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in India. This study aims to compare male and female patients with OSA for general characteristics and presenting symptoms.
    Methodology: Retrospective study was done in OSA patients diagnosed in our sleep lab. History, biochemical reports, and polysomnography variables were retrieved from the sleep registry and were compared between males and females.
    Results: Out of 514 patients of OSA (367 males; 147 females). Females were older (55.97 ± 9.73 v/s 50.2 + 12.70 years, P<0.001) and more obese (BMI 35.26 ± 7.17 v/s 29.58 ± 5.49 Kg/m2; P<0.001). Waist and hip circumference were significantly higher in the female patients (P = 0.009 and <0.001 respectively). Morning headache, nocturia, fatigability (P < 0.001), and depression (P = 0.005) was more common in females (P = 0.036). Hypersomnia was more commonly seen in males (P < 0.001). Mean diastolic blood pressure was significantly higher in males, although no difference was seen in Systolic BP. Females had higher mean Fasting Blood glucose (FBS) (P = 0.02). Apnea hypopnea index was significantly higher in females {P = 0.01}.
    Conclusion: Women with OSA are more obese, elderly, and with higher fasting blood glucose than males at the time of diagnosis. Females have a higher prevalence of symptoms like fatigability, depression, nocturia and early morning headache and had more severe AHI than males.

    Abstract Objectives: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is characterized by persistent widespread pain which greatly impacts the quality of life (QOL). Pain not only limits patients' daily activities but also restricts their social activities further leading to depression, anxiety, and stress. The present cross-sectional study elucidated the association of sleep quality and mood with increasing symptom severity of fibromyalgia and its impact on the QOL of fibromyalgia patients.
    Materials and methods: Hundred adult fibromyalgia patients diagnosed by the American College of Rheumatology 2010 criteria were evaluated for: sleep - using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index, QOL by SF-36, pain-visual analog scales (VASs) and global pain scale (GPS), mood-depression, anxiety, stress scale-21, somatic symptoms, anxiety and depression - by patients health questionnaire somatic, anxiety, and depressive symptom scales (PHQ-SADS), and FMS severity was evaluated using fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQR).
    Results: The mean pain score was 6.80 ± 1.58 on VAS and 54.10 ± 14.33 on GPS. FIQR score was 50.62 ± 13.68, mean sleep quality was poor (9.30 ± 3.88), and depression, anxiety, and stress scores were increased (10.04 ± 4.59, 8.33 ± 4.48, and 10.75 ± 4.66). An increasing trend of depression, anxiety, stress, and somatoform symptoms was observed with an increase in the severity of FMS when patients were compared according to FMS severity scores. Sleep also deteriorated with increasing severity of FMS from 5.66 ± 1.92 in mild FMS to 12.0 ± 3.41 in highly severe FMS patients. The QOL too deteriorated in all the domains with increasing severity.
    Conclusion: With the increasing severity of fibromyalgia, not only does the pain increase but mood and sleep quality also deteriorate, which further impacts the QOL of FMS patients. Thus, comorbid mood derangements must also be screened and addressed for maximum benefit of the patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Positional therapy has been described as add-on therapy to a mandibular advancement device, but the efficacy of combination of positional therapy and positive airway pressure (PPAP) has not been documented. We have found PPAP therapy as an effective method of titration in patients with difficult to treat OSA (obstructive sleep apnea).
    Methodology: This retrospective analysis was done in patients who had difficult to treat OSA, i.e., in whom titration in the supine position was unacceptable with any PAP device (CPAP or bilevel PAP) and could only be successfully titrated with a PAP device in the lateral position. This study describes our experience of PPAP therapy. Baseline characteristics and polysomnography data of patients who were successfully titrated in supine v/s lateral positions were compared.
    Results: Of 272 consecutive patients with OSA selected for analysis, 218 patients (191 and 27 with CPAP and bilevel PAP, respectively) could be successfully titrated in supine position. Further 54 (20%) patients in whom titration in supine position was unacceptable were titrated in lateral position. Patients titrated with PAP in the lateral position therapy group had higher BMI, higher neck and waist circumference, and lower awake sPO
    Conclusion: Combination of positional therapy and PAP device is an effective way of titration for difficult to treat OSA patients. It can be tried in patients who fail titration in supine position.

    Abstract Rachna Parashar,1 Sandip Hulke,1 Abhijit Pakhare2 1Department of Physiology, AIIMS Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462024, India; 2Department of Community and Family Medicine, AIIMS Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh 462024, India Background: Learning style is an individual’s natural or habitual pattern of acquiring and processing information in learning situations. Different sensory modalities are used by different types of medical students for assimilating the knowledge and information. Currently, the usage of electronic tools for teaching is widespread that can influence learning styles. Methods: The purpose of this study was to know the pattern of learners among first- and second-year medical students from different institutions in India. For this purpose, we have used latest English Version 7.0 of the Visual-Aural-Read/write-Kinesthetic. Results: Analysis was carried out using the IBM SPSS Version 21 software. Numerical variables were summarized by mean and SD or median and IQR as appropriate. Differences in scores among Visual-Aural-Read/write-Kinesthetic-learning styles were tested by Friedman’s test with post hoc pair wise comparison. Pattern of learning styles was different, and it was statistically significant (P<0.001). In this study, aural (median score 6) and kinesthetic (median score 6) styles were preferred. Pair-wise comparisons revealed that each style was different from each other except kinesthetic and aural. Conclusion: Results of the study suggest that to improve learning, one should try to use multimodal styles with special emphasis given to auditory and kinesthetic modes especially among first professionals in medical education during digitization.

    Abstract Introduction: Lung ultrasound when used in isolation, usually misses out metabolic causes of dyspnoea and differentiating acute exacerbation of COPD from pneumonia and pulmonary embolism is difficult, hence we thought of combining critical care ultrasonography (CCUS) with arterial blood gas analysis (ABG).
    Aim of the study: The objective of this study was to estimate accuracy of Critical Care Ultrasonography (CCUS) plus Arterial blood gas (ABG) based algorithm in diagnosing aetiology of dyspnoea. Accuracy of traditional Chest X-ray (CxR) based algorithm was also validated in the following setting.
    Methods: It was a facility based comparative study, where 174 dyspneic patients were subjected to CCUS plus ABG and CxR based algorithms on admission to ICU. The patients were classified into one of five pathophysiological diagnosis 1) Alveolar( Lung-pneumonia)disorder

    2) Alveolar (Cardiac-pulmonary edema) disorder; 3) Ventilation with Alveolar defect (COPD) disorder ;4) Perfusion disorder; and 5) Metabolic disorder. We calculated diagnostic test properties of CCUS plus ABG and CXR based algorithm in relation to composite diagnosis and correlated these algorithms for each of the defined pathophysiological diagnosis.
    Results: The sensitivity of CCUS and ABG based algorithm was 0.85 (95% CI-75.03-92.03) for alveolar (lung)

    0.94 (95% CI-85.15-98.13) for alveolar (cardiac); 0.83 (95% CI-60.78-94.16) for ventilation with alveolar defect; 0.66 (95% CI-30-90.32) for perfusion defect; 0.63 (95% CI-45.25-77.07) for metabolic disorders.Cohn's kappa correlation coefficient of CCUS plus ABG based algorithm in relation to composite diagnosis was 0.7 for alveolar (lung), 0.85 for alveolar (cardiac), 0.78 for ventilation with alveolar defect, 0.79 for perfusion defect and 0.69 for metabolic disorders.
    Conclusion: CCUS plus ABG algorithm is highly sensitive and it's agreement with composite diagnosis is far superior. It is a first of it's kind study, where authors have attempted combining two point of care tests and creating an algorithmic approach for timely diagnosis and intervention.

    Abstract Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension are common complications in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Progression of CKD can aggravate OSA and hypertension whereas worsening sleep apnea can make hypertension difficult to treat in CKD patients. We, therefore, conducted a prospective study to evaluate the association between OSA and hypertension in pediatric patients with CKD.
    Method: In this prospective observational study consecutive children with CKD stage 3-5 (nondialysis dependent) underwent overnight polysomnography and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). The detailed clinical features and investigations were recorded in a prestructured performa.
    Results: Twenty-two children completed overnight polysomnography and 24-h ABPM was performed within 48 h of performing polysomnography. The median (IQR) age of the study population was 11 (8.5-15.5) years, with an age range of 5-18 years. Moderate-severe OSA defined as apnea-hypopnea index (AHI ≥5) was seen in 14 (63.6%) children, periodic limb movement syndrome in 20 (91%) and poor sleep efficacy in 9 (40.9%) children. Ambulatory blood pressure was abnormal in 15 (68.2%) children with CKD. Of them, 4 (18.2%) had ambulatory hypertension, 9 (40.9%) had severe ambulatory hypertension and 2 (9.1%) had masked hypertension. A statistically significant correlation of sleep efficiency with nighttime DBP SD score/Z score (SDS/Z) (r = -0.47; P = 0.02); estimated glomerular filtration rate with SBP loads (r = -0.61; P < 0.012); DBP loads (r = -0.63; P < ) and BMI with SBP load (r = 0.46; P = 0.012) was found.
    Conclusion: Our preliminary findings suggest that ambulatory blood pressure abnormalities, OSA, periodic limb movement syndrome and poor sleep efficiency are highly prevalent in children with CKD stages 3-5.

    Abstract Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation improves dyspnea, functional limitation and quality of life in patients with chronic respiratory disease especially Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Whether Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) will have similar effect in patients with post-tuberculosis sequelae or not and whether the two morphological variants will respond similarly or not was the purpose of our study.
    Methods: Adult patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria of a diagnosis of post-tuberculosis sequelae with functional limitation (modified medical research council [mMRC] grade 1 or more) were recruited over a period of two years. A baseline health assessment in the different domains of health was done at the beginning and repeated just after the completion of the rehabilitation program at 6 weeks.
    Results: 26 patients completed the PR protocol of our study. Dyspnea improved from an mMRC grade of 1.5 to 0.7 post-PR (p < 0.001). 6MWD increased by 34 meters from a baseline value of 408.6 meters to 442.7 meters post-PR. (p-value 0.3) St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) symptom score decreased by 13 points, SGRQ activity score decreased by 18 points, SGRQ impact score decreased by 18 and SGRQ total score decreased by 17 points with p-values of 0.037, 0.002, 0.004 and 0.002 for SGRQ symptom score, SGRQ activity score, SGRQ impact score, SGRQ total score respectively. Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) Stress score decreased by 6.7, DASS Anxiety score decreased by 6.6, and DASS Depression score decreased by 5.5 points. Intergroup comparison revealed both bronchiectasis predominant group and fibrosis predominant group responded similarly to PR.
    Conclusion: PR improved parameters assessing dyspnea, quality of life and mental health indices significantly. Improvement in functional capacity was not statically significant. Both the morphological variants responded similarly to the PR.
