THE BURDEN OF EMPIRICAL THERAPY: ANALYZING THE PREDOMINANCE OF BROAD-SPECTRUM ANTIBIOTIC USAGE IN LOWER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS
Abstract: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) remain one of the leading causes of morbidity and hospitalization worldwide, particularly among older adults, immunocompromised individuals, and patients with chronic respiratory disorders. These infections include conditions such as community-acquired pneumonia, hospital-acquired pneumonia, bronchitis, and acute infective exacerbations of chronic lung disease, all of which often require rapid clinical intervention. Because microbiological confirmation of the causative pathogen frequently takes 48–72 hours, clinicians generally initiate empirical …

Design of Multifunction Stethoscope with Auto Gastrointestinal Wriggle Detector
Abstract: As the acoustic stethoscopes can't compete with the magnified sound quality so the digital stethoscopes provides even better identification of conditions. The objective of this work is to design a digital stethoscope with multifunction modes, which provides sound analysis for different body signals acquired from heart, lungs and abdomen. Using this system a doctor can not only analyze the sounds but also identify the gastrointestinal wriggling occurrence in the human …

A Study of Drowning Cases brought for Autopsy in GMCH Mortuary
Abstract: Drowning is defined as the process of experiencing respiratory impairment from submersion/immersion in liquid; outcomes are classified as death, morbidity and no morbidity. Drowning is a violent asphyxial death, where air entry to lungs is prevented due to occupation of the lumen of respiratory tract with water or any fluid-media. Drowning is asphyxiation due to immersion in liquid. Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide, accounting …

In vitro Evaluation of Kigelia pinnata Leaves for Its Antioxidative and Anticancer Activity
Abstract: Previous studies suggest that the Kigelia pinnata leaves have useful effects against diseases mediated through oxidative stress and cancers. In this study, leaves of Kigelia pinnata were studied for presence of different phytochemical constituents, anti-oxidant and anti-cancer activities.Crude methane extracts of Kigelia pinnata leaves showed cytotoxic activity in vitro against non-small cell lung cancinoma (A-549) cells using the MTT assay. Phytochemical evaluation showed the existence of alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, tannins …

Effect of Nicotine on Cytokine Production by Human Mononuclears: Perspective of COVID-19
Abstract: Nicotine is present in the tobacco-containing products such as cigars, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, snus (an oral tobacco) and pipe tobacco. In Indian population, nicotine containing products are consumed by the 57% of population either in chewing form or smoking form. The correlation of nicotine and lung cancer in chronic smokers as well as nicotine consumption and COVID-19 incidence has to be justified. Hence current research was carried to study the …
