Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis with Several Idiopathic Cervical and Mediastinal Lymph Nodes - Airway and Anaesthetic ManagementAuthor: Suhas MDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art001Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis with Several Idiopathic Cervical and Mediastinal Lymph Nodes - Airway and Anaesthetic Management
Abstract:
This case report details the anaesthetic approach for a 60-year-old female with subglottic stenosis, who had experienced bronchospasm and hypotension during previous surgeries under general anaesthesia. The patient was scheduled for open hernioplasty, and hernioplasty complex airway anatomy and history of anaesthetic complications posed significant challenges. Following a comprehensive preoperative assessment, including video laryngoscopy and CT imaging, it was decided to use a Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) block to minimize the risks associated with general anaesthesia. The surgery was performed successfully, with the patient remaining stable throughout the procedure and during the postoperative period. This case highlights the importance of a personalized anaesthetic plan, particularly in patients with difficult airway conditions and a history of adverse reactions to general anaesthesia. Regional anaesthesia, specifically CSE, proved to be a safe and effective alternative, allowing for a successful surgical outcome without complications. This report emphasizes the need to carefully consider anaesthetic options in complex cases to enhance patient safety and optimize surgical results.

Unveiling the Enigma: Chronic Concealed Abruption Disguised as PlacentomegalyAuthor: Deepthi. PDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art002Unveiling the Enigma: Chronic Concealed Abruption Disguised as Placentomegaly
Abstract:
Here we present a case of Rh-negative Primigravida with 22 weeks gestation who presented to us with USG report of a live fetus with FGR, placentomegaly with oligohydramnios without any clinical symptoms and later diagnosed to be a case of chronic abruption oligohydramnios sequence (CAOS). Initially, all differentials of Placentomegaly like placental chorioangioma, placental mosaicism, chronic concealed abruptio placenta or placental tumours such as placental mesenchymal dysplasia were considered. Regular antenatal workup was carried out for the patient which revealed an incidental heart disease probably of rheumatic origin and the patient was managed accordingly. The patient was planned for termination of pregnancy in view of subsequent anhydramios in the midst of which the patient developed cardiac complications. The patient was stabilized and taken up for emergency hysterotomy which intraoperatively revealed retroplacental clots and altered blood as evidence of premature separation of placenta clinching the diagnosis of CAOS. Since CAOS can lead to fetal morbidity and mortality, decision-making has to be carried out regarding accelerating fetal lung maturity and neuroprotection or termination of pregnancy after carefully weighing out the fetomaternal outcomes.

Effective Management of a Total Thyroidectomy Case with Positive Cuff Leak Test: A Case ReportAuthor: Kishanth kumar SDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art003Effective Management of a Total Thyroidectomy Case with Positive Cuff Leak Test: A Case Report
Abstract:
Total thyroidectomy is frequently performed to treat various thyroid conditions, such as malignancies, large goiters, and Graves' disease. One of the possible complications after this surgery is airway obstruction, which can be evaluated intraoperatively using the cuff leak test (CLT). A positive CLT suggests significant airway edema or obstruction, which can lead to postoperative respiratory difficulties. Managing a patient with a positive CLT after thyroidectomy necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, including close monitoring, prompt intervention, and appropriate postoperative care. This case shows the management of a patient who developed a positive cuff leak test following a total thyroidectomy. Key strategies involved administering corticosteroids to mitigate airway edema, ensuring close observation in an intensive care unit (ICU), and considering reintubation or tracheostomy if airway obstruction persisted. The patient was successfully managed through conservative measures, avoiding the need for invasive airway procedures. This case underscores the importance of vigilance and timely intervention in the postoperative period to secure patient safety and achieve favorable outcomes after total thyroidectomy. The discussion highlights the necessity of tailoring care plans to the severity of the airway compromise and the overall clinical condition of the patient. This case adds to the understanding of airway management in thyroidectomy patients and the utility of CLT in guiding clinical decisions.

Assessing the Utility of Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis Questionnaire's Score in Managing Women with Nausea and Vomiting of PregnancyAuthor: Deepthi PDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art004Assessing the Utility of Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis Questionnaire's Score in Managing Women with Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy
Abstract:
A lower quality of life and unfavorable pregnancy outcomes are linked to the severity of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP). This study used the Pregnancy-Unique Quantification of Emesis and Nausea (PUQE) scale to compare the severity of NVP with the various demographic and maternal parameters among pregnant women. To analyse the association of severity of nausea and vomitting using a modified PUQE scale with the various demographic and maternal characteristics This was a cross-sectional study conducted on 380 pregnant women who were receiving antenatal care at a tertiary health care centre between January 2023 and March 2024. The severity of NVP was evaluated by the PUQE scale which was later compared with the various maternal characteristics. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the risk factors associated with NVP. Gestational age was significantly associated with increasing NVP. Most of the subjects in the moderate (45.2%) and severe (47.7%) PUQE group were gravida 1 while 43.9% were gravida 2 in the mild group. PUQE scale can be used to assess the severity of NVP thus aiding the healthcare professionals in providing required treatment.

Twists and Turns: Navigating Clinicoradiological Presentations, Decision Making in Management and Histopathological Revelations of Adnexal TorsionAuthor: Deepthi PDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art005Twists and Turns: Navigating Clinicoradiological Presentations, Decision Making in Management and Histopathological Revelations of Adnexal Torsion
Abstract:
Adnexal torsion is a rare condition that can be potentially fatal if untreated. It has a varied clinical presentation and can affect any age group. Clinicians can diagnose and treat adenexal torsion more accurately if they are aware of the clinical and pathological characteristics of the patients. To analyze the clinical and pathological profile of adnexal torsion cases in Saveetha Medical College. The study was a retrospective analysis of hospital records which included all cases of adnexal torsion that underwent treatment between January 2023 to January 2024 in Saveetha Medical College. The majority (61.37%) of participants were in the reproductive age group (18-40 years). Abdominal pain was the most common symptom seen in 84.44% of patients. Majority of the women belonged to Para 2 (54.44%) and Para 1 (24.24%). Half the subjects underwent Vaginal delivery while the remaining underwent Caesarean section. A right-sided predominance was observed with most of them having one and two turns (32%). On histopathological examination, a simple serous cyst (25%) was the most predominant finding. Even though adnexal torsion is a rare clinical illness, it typically manifests as an emergency. A high degree of suspicion is necessary for the diagnosis because there are many possible clinical presentations. However, the diagnosis can only be confirmed on the operating table. The patient should be operated on as soon as possible to prevent complications and aid in conserving the ovary.

Prevalence and Determinants of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-Sectional Study in a Suburban PopulationAuthor: Akshaya RadhakrishnanDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art006Prevalence and Determinants of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Cross-Sectional Study in a Suburban Population
Abstract:
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) presents significant risks to maternal and neonatal health, with varying prevalence globally. Understanding its determinants in specific populations can guide targeted interventions and improve health outcomes. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of GDM and its associated risk factors in a suburban population. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 160 pregnant women attending suburban community health centers. Data on demographic, lifestyle, and clinical variables were collected. GDM was diagnosed based on the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria. Statistical analyses included logistic regression to determine odds ratios (ORs) for potential risk factors. The prevalence of GDM in the study population was 15%. Significant risk factors for GDM included age ≥ 30 years (OR=2.5, 95% CI: 1.5-4.1, P=0.003), family history of diabetes (OR=3.1, 95% CI: 1.8-5.3, P=0.001), and a high sugar diet (OR=2.5, 95% CI: 1.4-4.3, P=0.001). A sedentary lifestyle and irregular meal patterns were also associated with increased GDM risk (OR=2.2 and 1.9, respectively). Overweight and obesity were strong predictors of GDM, with ORs of 2.3 and 3.5 for BMI ranges of 25-29.9 and ≥30, respectively. The study highlighted that both non-modifiable (age, family history) and modifiable (diet, lifestyle) factors significantly influence the risk of developing GDM in a suburban population. These findings suggest the necessity of targeted screening and preventive strategies that focus on modifiable lifestyle adjustments in at-risk groups.

Risk Behaviour and Psychosocial Stressors of Clients Attending Integrated Counseling and Testing Centre (ICTC) of a Rural Community Health Centre, Tamil NaduAuthor: Lakshmi ThangaveluDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art007Risk Behaviour and Psychosocial Stressors of Clients Attending Integrated Counseling and Testing Centre (ICTC) of a Rural Community Health Centre, Tamil Nadu
Abstract:
India has the third largest HIV epidemic in the world, with an adult (15-49 years) HIV prevalence of 0.22%. Lack of knowledge and social taboos related to sex issues are major contributing factors to the spread of HIV/AIDS. The present study is aimed to assess risk behaviour and psychosocial stressors of voluntary attendees of ICTC, towards HIV/AIDS in a rural community health centre in Tamil Nadu. A total of 184 attendees at ICTC, either attending voluntarily or referred from different primary health centres were included. A pre-designed structured questionnaire was self -self-administered to each client to evaluate risky behaviour and psychosocial stressors about HIV/AIDS. Heterosexual risky behaviour 133(72.3%) was the most common risky sexual behaviour among the study subjects. Among primarily anticipated psychosocial stressors financial burden 60 (32.6%) was the most common concern among the attendees followed by the fear of Serious illness 58 (31.5%). The present study identifies the various risk behaviours which might be responsible for the occurrence of HIV infection among the study participants and the present study also brought out the various psychosocial stressors faced by the clients attending ICTC, so that counseling techniques to tackle such stressors can be incorporated in the training module of the counsellors to impart better counseling services. Health education can be given to the clients to reduce the risk behaviour and also to allay the misbeliefs regarding HIV/AIDS.

MicroRNAs and Apoptosis Signaling Pathways in Breast Cancer: From Molecular Insights to Clinical ApplicationsAuthor: Prakash BaluDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art008MicroRNAs and Apoptosis Signaling Pathways in Breast Cancer: From Molecular Insights to Clinical Applications
Abstract:
Breast cancer represents a global health concern, necessitating a deeper understanding of the intricate mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis and therapy resistance. This comprehensive review article explores the pivotal roles of microRNAs (miRNAs) and apoptosis signaling pathways in breast cancer biology. MiRNAs, as essential post-transcriptional regulators, modulate gene expression and play a central role in apoptosis regulation. We examine their involvement in breast cancer oncogenesis, metastasis, and therapy resistance, highlighting pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic miRNAs. Additionally, we delve into the core components of the apoptosis pathway, including initiator and executioner caspases and Bcl-2 family members, emphasizing their relevance in breast cancer. Further, we explore the crosstalk between miRNAs and major signaling pathways (PI3K/AKT, NF-κB, and p53) and discuss their clinical implications, including diagnostics, prognostics, and therapeutic interventions. While offering promising avenues for breast cancer management, this review also identifies research gaps and challenges in translating miRNA and pathway-based knowledge into clinical practice.

A Case of Retained Products of Conception Adherent to the Caesarean Scar Site with AV Malformation Managed with Uterine Artery EmbolisationAuthor: Deepthi PDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art009A Case of Retained Products of Conception Adherent to the Caesarean Scar Site with AV Malformation Managed with Uterine Artery Embolisation
Abstract:
Retained products of conception (RPOC) and uterine arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are uncommon but serious causes of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). This case involves a 29-year-old woman, Para 2 Live 2, with a history of two caesarean sections and two previous abortions, who experienced heavy menstrual bleeding following medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) and tubectomy. Initially managed conservatively with methotrexate, she presented again a month later with recurrent AUB. Ultrasound and Doppler imaging revealed a thickened endometrium with significant vascularity, indicating RPOC and uterine AVM. Her β-HCG levels were elevated (47.13) but trended downward upon repeat testing. Based on interventional radiology advice, she underwent bilateral uterine artery embolization (UAE) with gel foam. Following the procedure, the patient's symptoms improved significantly, with a noticeable reduction in both the frequency and intensity of her bleeding episodes. Her β-HCG levels continued to decline, and no further episodes of heavy bleeding were noted during the one-month follow-up. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges associated with RPOC and uterine AVM, particularly after abortion. Doppler ultrasound plays a key role in detecting vascular abnormalities. Uterine artery embolization is an effective and safe first-line treatment, reducing hemorrhage risk and the need for hysterectomy. Early identification and intervention are critical to prevent life-threatening complications and ensure a favorable outcome.

A Case of CSF Rhinorrhoea Presenting as Recurrent MeningitisAuthor: Sriharsha TDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art010A Case of CSF Rhinorrhoea Presenting as Recurrent Meningitis
Abstract:
This case report describes a 40-year-old male patient who experienced recurrent meningitis with a history of CSF rhinorrhoea. The first episode of meningitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae was successfully treated with antibiotics. MRI cisternography confirmed the presence of CSF rhinorrhoea, demonstrating CSF leakage from the subarachnoid space through defects in the left fovea ethmoidalis and lateral lamella into the left frontal sinus and left anterior ethmoidal sinus. The patient was referred to a neurosurgeon for repair of the CSF leak, which was successfully performed via bifrontal craniotomy and anterior cranial fossa (ACF) base repair through an eyebrow approach. The patient recovered fully following antibiotic and steroid regimens, and subsequent follow-up after one year revealed no recurrence of the meningitis symptoms. This case highlights the importance of considering CSF rhinorrhoea as a potential cause of recurrent meningitis, and the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent complications.

In-Silico Molecular Interaction and Pharmacokinetic Evaluation of Remimazolam and Major Intravenous Anesthetics Targeting GABAA ReceptorsAuthor: Jaganathan RamakrishnanDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art011In-Silico Molecular Interaction and Pharmacokinetic Evaluation of Remimazolam and Major Intravenous Anesthetics Targeting GABAA Receptors
Abstract:
This study investigates the molecular interactions and pharmacokinetic properties of five intravenous anaesthetics Remimazolam, Midazolam, Propofol, Thiopental, and Etomidate with the γ-Aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor, a key mediator of inhibitory neurotransmission in the central nervous system. Using molecular docking analysis, we evaluated the binding affinities of these drugs to the GABAA neurotransmitter receptor. Remimazolam emerged as a promising candidate with a docking score of -6.9 kcal/mol, demonstrating strong and stable interactions with critical receptor residues such as THR96 and GLN65. Although Midazolam exhibited a slightly superior docking score of -7.1 kcal/mol, Remimazolam’s pharmacokinetic profile offers distinct advantages, including rapid onset, short duration of action, and a favourable safety profile with minimal risk of hepatotoxicity and skin sensitization. In comparison, Propofol, Thiopental, and Etomidate showed weaker binding affinities and raised safety concerns. These findings suggest that Remimazolam is a competitive and safer alternative to existing intravenous anaesthetics, particularly in outpatient settings and procedures requiring efficient anaesthetic management. This study contributes valuable insights into the clinical application of Remimazolam, reinforcing its potential as an effective choice in the realm of intravenous anaesthesia.

A Brief Narrative Review on Prevalence of Diabetes in Tamil NaduAuthor: Vijayanchali S SDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art012A Brief Narrative Review on Prevalence of Diabetes in Tamil Nadu
Abstract:
The incidence of diabetes in Tamil Nadu has escalated significantly in recent decades, mirroring a wider national pattern observed throughout India. This narrative review synthesizes an extensive array of literature concerning the epidemiology, risk factors and health consequences associated with diabetes in Tamil Nadu, illuminating the complex interplay of various contributing elements. A key focus of this analysis is the examination of how genetic susceptibility interacts with rapid urban development, lifestyle modifications and socio-economic factors, culminating in a scenario that exacerbates the rising diabetes rates in the region. The review also investigates regional disparities, revealing marked differences in diabetes prevalence between urban and rural areas, as well as among diverse demographic segments, including age, gender and occupation. These disparities highlight the necessity for localized evaluations to enhance the understanding of diabetes distribution in varied contexts. Furthermore, the review identifies critical obstacles to effective diabetes management and prevention in Tamil Nadu such as limited access to healthcare, low public awareness and inadequate health promotion initiatives, which collectively impede efforts to address the diabetes epidemic. By scrutinizing these elements this review aspires to enrich the understanding of diabetes in Tamil Nadu and emphasizes the urgent need for targeted interventions that cater to the unique challenges faced by different communities. Such insights are vital for shaping public health strategies aimed at alleviating the escalating diabetes crisis in Tamil Nadu and fostering improved health outcomes throughout the state.

The Effect of Maternal Anaemia on Infant Birth Weight: A Comprehensive StudyAuthor: Vinod Kumar NelsonDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art013The Effect of Maternal Anaemia on Infant Birth Weight: A Comprehensive Study
Abstract:
The objective of the present study was to understand about the maternal anaemia on the low birth weight of the neonates and also how it effects the maternal health. This study was conducted at the postnatal ward of the Saveetha Medical College, Chennai, during the period of December 2022 and July 2023. A total of 237 deliveries were analysed for this study. Maternal anaemia is divided in four categories based on the haemoglobin levels: no anaemia (>10 gm%), mild (8-10 gm%), moderate (7-8 gm%), severe (<7 gm%). Neonates were assessed for the birth weight and other perinatal factors. Statistical analysis for this study is done by using the chi-square and correlation coefficients. C Among the 236 antenatal women included, 49.2% were found to be anaemic. The average haemoglobin level was 10.05 ± 2.27 g/dL, and the average birth weight was 3055.81 ± 540.63 g. Of the infants, 8.1% were classified as LBW. A significant correlation was found between maternal anaemia and LBW: 37.9% of LBW infants were born to mothers with severe anaemia (p < 0.001). A statistically significant weak correlation (r = 0.305, p < 0.001) was observed between haemoglobin levels and neonatal weight.

The Spectrum of RHD Management in Pregnancy on Assessing the Time of Diagnosis, Severity of Cardiac Lesions, and the ChallengesAuthor: Maghimaa MDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art014The Spectrum of RHD Management in Pregnancy on Assessing the Time of Diagnosis, Severity of Cardiac Lesions, and the Challenges
Abstract:
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) poses a significant challenge during pregnancy, especially in low- and middle-income countries, where it affects millions of individuals, primarily young women of childbearing age. This autoimmune condition, often triggered by group A streptococcal infections, leads to chronic inflammation and scarring of heart valves, resulting in insufficiency and stenosis. Pregnancies complicated by cardiovascular diseases, including RHD, contribute to maternal mortality rates and present unique management dilemmas due to the physiological changes accompanying gestation. This case series presents three cases illustrating the complexities of managing RHD during pregnancy. Case 1 describes a gravid woman with a history of previous normal delivery and hepatitis B surface antigen positivity, requiring emergency intervention due to fetal distress and elevated blood pressure. Case 2 details the management of RHD in a woman with hypothyroidism presenting with labor pain at term gestation. Case 3 presents the challenges of managing RHD in a primigravida with a history of nephroureterectomy for ectopic ureter insertion. Understanding the pathological mechanisms and tailored management strategies for pregnant women with RHD is crucial for improving care and outcomes.

M6A RNA Methylation and Cancer Progression: Pathogenesis, Implications, and Therapeutic PotentialAuthor: Geetha ShanmugamDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art015m6A RNA Methylation and Cancer Progression: Pathogenesis, Implications, and Therapeutic Potential
Abstract:
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a prominent internal modification of eukaryotic messenger RNA (mRNA) and has garnered significant attention due to its regulatory role in various biological processes, particularly in cancer. As a dynamic and reversible modification, m6A is orchestrated by three key players: Writers, primarily methyltransferases like METTL3 and METTL14, add m6A marks to mRNA, influencing processes such as RNA stability and translation. Erasers, such as FTO and ALKBH5, remove these marks, enabling the fine-tuning of mRNA functions. Readers, including YTH domain-containing proteins (e.g., YTHDF1, YTHDF2), recognize and bind to m6A-modified mRNA, directing its fate in terms of degradation, translation efficiency, or cellular localization. In cancer, m6A modifications have been implicated in promoting tumor progression by affecting gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. The dysregulation of m6A machinery can lead to aberrant expression of oncogenes or tumor suppressors, thereby driving oncogenesis Furthermore, m6A modifications play a crucial role in modulating the tumor microenvironment (TME) and immune evasion. By altering the expression of cytokines, chemokines, and immune checkpoint molecules, m6A can influence immune cell infiltration and activation, impacting the anti-tumor immune response. This modulation of the TME not only aids in tumor progression but also presents challenges and opportunities for cancer immunotherapy. Given its profound impact on cancer biology, targeting the m6A machinery holds therapeutic potential. Small molecules or inhibitors designed to modulate m6A writers, erasers, or readers could offer new avenues for cancer treatment, making m6A a promising target in the fight against cancer.

An Update on the Role of Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Metabolic Health and Insulin Resistance: A narrative reviewAuthor: Monisha PrasadDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art016An Update on the Role of Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Metabolic Health and Insulin Resistance: A narrative review
Abstract:
Insulin resistance and metabolic health are largely regulated by important pathways that omega-3 fatty acids influence. The molecular pathways by which Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), work is the main topic of concern in this narrative overview. Through modifying inflammatory responses, enhancing lipid metabolism, and impacting insulin signaling pathways, these fatty acids mainly increase insulin sensitivity. Studies have demonstrated that EPA and DHA can increase insulin sensitivity by downregulating the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines, and increasing the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). Furthermore, Omega-3s mitigate lipotoxicity and encourage the effective utilization of fatty acids as an energy source, all of which are critical for preserving insulin sensitivity. They also lessen ectopic fat accumulation. Additionally, the interaction between Omega-3s and membrane phospholipids enhances insulin receptor signaling and activity. Notwithstanding these advantages, further research is necessary to fully understand the unique impacts of certain Omega-3s, such as Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), on these pathways as well as how they might interact with other dietary components and gut flora. We can more effectively utilize the therapeutic potential of omega-3 fatty acids to enhance metabolic health and combat insulin resistance by clarifying these pathways.

Exploring the Interplay Between Polyphenols, Gut Microbiota, and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOD): A Comprehensive ReviewAuthor: Monisha PrasadDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art017Exploring the Interplay Between Polyphenols, Gut Microbiota, and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOD): A Comprehensive Review
Abstract:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOD) is a common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, marked by hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and chronic anovulation. Emerging research indicates that the gut microbiota significantly contributes to the pathophysiology of PCOD, affecting both metabolic and hormonal balance. Polyphenols, bioactive compounds found in various foods, have shown promise in modulating gut microbiota composition and function, offering potential therapeutic benefits for PCOD. This review examines the intricate interplay between polyphenols, gut microbiota, and PCOD, focusing on how polyphenols may influence PCOD pathogenesis through gut microbiota modulation. We explore the alterations in gut microbiota observed in PCOD patients and how polyphenols may help restore microbial balance, potentially improving metabolic and reproductive health. The review also discusses the underlying molecular mechanisms, such as the regulation of inflammatory pathways, oxidative stress, and insulin signaling, through which polyphenols may exert their effects. By synthesizing findings from preclinical and clinical studies, we highlight the potential of dietary polyphenols as a complementary strategy in PCOD management, while also underscoring the need for more research to determine the most effective dietary interventions and polyphenol formulations. Understanding the relationship between polyphenols and gut microbiota in the context of PCOD offers promising new avenues for developing microbiota-targeted therapies that leverage the beneficial effects of polyphenols to improve outcomes for women with this condition.

Exploring the Spectrum: Hemoglobinopathies in Pregnancy and their Clinical ImplicationsAuthor: Vinod Kumar NelsonDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art018Exploring the Spectrum: Hemoglobinopathies in Pregnancy and their Clinical Implications
Abstract:
The present study aimed to investigate the maternal and fetal outcomes of pregnant women presenting to a tertiary healthcare facility with beta thalassemia trait, hemoglobinopathy E, and sickle cell trait. This retrospective study of a series of cases presented to a tertiary healthcare facility, Saveetha Medical College, Thandalam, Chennai between June 2023 and December 2023. The case series included nine pregnant women aged between 21 - 31 years with varying obstetric histories. Most were multigravida with 60.0% having previous caesarean sections. Gestational age at diagnosis ranged from 17 - 35 weeks with one case diagnosed preconception. Mean hemoglobin levels before correction were 8.5 gm/dL, rising to 10.3 gm/dL post-correction. Hematological parameters varied within normal ranges. HPLC revealed heterozygous hemoglobinopathy E, beta thalassemia trait or sickle cell trait in equal proportions. Most deliveries occurred at term, with varying modes of delivery including emergency caesarean sections and vaginal deliveries. Incidence of postpartum hemorrhage and preterm premature rupture of membranes was infrequent, though one case of each occurred. No instances of pre-eclampsia, foetal growth restriction, or maternal or foetal deaths were reported. Neonatal outcomes were generally favorable, with all babies born alive, mostly at term, and satisfactory APGAR scores. Two cases were born with low birth weight. Early and accurate diagnosis facilitated tailored interventions, ultimately lead to positive maternal and neonatal outcomes. These cases serve as poignant reminders of the importance of comprehensive antenatal care, genetic counselling, and specialised management strategies for individuals affected by hemoglobinopathies.

KDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art019Glutamine Synthase Expression Profiling and Selective Inhibitor for Burkholderia psuedomallei K96243: An In-silico Approach
Abstract:
Melioidosis is a potentially fatal infection caused by the Gram-negative bacillus, Burkholderia pseudomallei following an encounter with contaminated soil or surface water. This study was to identify the highly expressed gene in Burkholderia pseudomallei and model the target protein's three-dimensional structure. Further, the study was intended to determine the better binding candidates from the existing drugs against the target protein for melioidosis. The highly expressed gene was identified by KEGG pathway and their target protein was modeled using homology modeling. The modeled structure was validated by PROCHEK and it can be further used for docking studies against existing antibacterial drugs using Argus Lab. The ADME properties of drugs were analyzed by the ADME/Tox WEB. The results revealed that, glutamine synthetase was highly expressed in Burkholderia pseudomallei and its 3D model was generated. The structure validation revealed that, the structure was reliable and reasonable. The docking studies revealed that the Chloramphenicol compound has higher docking score against the protein glutamine synthetase compared to other existing compounds. The acceptable range of the ADME and biological activity prediction of Chloramphenicol compound depicts better pharmacological properties and possible drug-likeliness. This study concluded that, the compound Chloramphenicol may be a better inhibitor for glutamine synthetase protein. This compound may lead to development of effective drug against Melioidosis.

Adverse Maternal and Fetal Outcomes in Pregnancies Complicated by Diabetes Mellitus: A Case SeriesAuthor: Vinod Kumar NelsonDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art020Adverse Maternal and Fetal Outcomes in Pregnancies Complicated by Diabetes Mellitus: A Case Series
Abstract:
Pregnancy-related diabetes mellitus poses an increased risk of detrimental effects on the health of the mother and fetus. This case series aims to highlight the correlation between poorly managed diabetes and complications such as intrauterine fetal death (IUFD), preterm labor, macrosomia, and neonatal death. We analyzed cases of pregnant women with diabetes mellitus who experienced adverse outcomes within one year at our hospital. The cases were selected based on the seriousness of complications and gestational period at the time of occurrence. Three cases such cases were selected, IUFD was experienced by a 30-year-old woman with a gestational age of 36 weeks;a woman whose age was 29 years also experienced IUFD; whose gestational age was 37 weeks during the occurrence; and another case involved of a mother whose age was 34 and was at 3 months and 4 days of gestation, who underwent preterm delivery leading to neonatal death on the first postoperative day following the surgery. This critical nature of handling diabetes during pregnancy is emphasized in this case series to mitigate the adverse effects and the risks which include, IUFD, premature birth, macrosomia, and neonatal death. Along with continuous monitoring and glycaemic control, to avoid outcomes of complications caused by diabetes mellitus during pregnancy educating the patient is also very important.

Evaluating Antiplatelet Compliance in Recurrent Stroke PatientsAuthor: Samuel MDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art021Evaluating Antiplatelet Compliance in Recurrent Stroke Patients
Abstract:
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with recurrent strokes posing a significant challenge in healthcare. Antiplatelet therapy, including agents such as aspirin and clopidogrel, is fundamental in reducing the risk of recurrent ischemic events. The present study aims to evaluate the current literature on adherence to antiplatelet therapy in recurrent stroke patients and also to identify key factors influencing adherence, explore innovative strategies to improve adherence rates and highlight areas for future research. In conclusion, our study highlights the importance of medication-related factors in the management of recurrent stroke patients. Optimizing antiplatelet therapy regimens, addressing barriers to medication adherence, and mitigating adverse events are crucial steps toward improving secondary stroke prevention strategies and enhancing patient outcomes. However, the effectiveness of these therapies is highly dependent on patient adherence, which remains suboptimal, leading to increased risks of recurrent strokes and other cardiovascular events.

Histone Demethylase (KDM3A) Regulation and Its Impact on Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer ProgressionAuthor: Periasamy AnbuDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art023Histone Demethylase (KDM3A) Regulation and Its Impact on Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer Progression
Abstract:
The histone demethylase-encoding gene KDM3A is a crucial modulator of estrogen receptor (ER) signaling, impacting the development of ER-positive breast cancer. Resistance develops despite the effectiveness of endocrine drugs that target ER signaling, necessitating a deeper understanding of the underlying molecular processes. This work investigated KDM3A depletion in ER-positive breast cancer cells to gain a better understanding of how it impacts estrogen-induced gene expression and its potential as a therapeutic target in endocrine-resistant breast cancer. We used the GEO dataset GSE68918, which contains gene expression profiles from MCF-7 cell lines treated with KDM3A RNA (siKDM3A) and scrambled RNA (siSCR), to find 845 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Following KDM3A knockdown, 402 of these genes showed upregulation, and 444 showed downregulation. Significant downregulation was observed for BRCA1 and CCNB1, but a notable upregulation was observed for CEACAM6. This suggests that KDM3A is involved in signaling through estrogen receptors, repairing DNA, and regulating the cell cycle. A study of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks showed that hub genes, including TOP2A, CCNA2, and CCNB1, are essential for KDM3A-related networks. Significant enrichment in the p53 signaling pathway, DNA replication, and cell division was found by Gene Ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway studies, highlighting the influence of KDM3A on important biological processes. These findings suggest that KDM3A could be a valuable therapeutic target in the management of breast cancer endocrine resistance. Future research should look at the therapeutic potential of KDM3A inhibitors to enhance the efficacy of treatment for endocrine-resistant breast cancer, particularly when combined with other forms of therapy.

Prevalence and Predictors of Urinary Incontinence in South Indian Women: A Hospital-Based Analytical Cross-Sectional StudyAuthor: Geetha BirudalaDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art024Prevalence and Predictors of Urinary Incontinence in South Indian Women: A Hospital-Based Analytical Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract:
The present study assesses the prevalence of urinary incontinence and evaluates the risk elements related to QUID-derived urge and stress incontinence scores. This was a cross-sectional analysis of women attending the outpatient department and inpatient ward section of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Saveetha Institute of Medical College Thandalam Chennai. This study included 299 women; the mean (SD) age was 54.4 years (7.7). The proportion of women with Normal and LSCS were 59.5% and 40.5%, respectively. The proportion of women drinking coffee was 74.2%, with recurrent urinary tract infection was 40.1%, with diabetes was 32,4%, with obesity was 37.8%, with a history of constipation was 70.2%, and history of pelvic surgery was 23.4%. The mean (SD) urge score among women with a normal vaginal delivery was 8.19 (2.78) and among those with LSCS was 4.57 (1.99); the difference (higher scores among women with NVD, in comparison with LSCS) was found to be statistically significant. The mean (SD) stress score among women with a normal vaginal delivery was 7.52 (2.78) and among those with LSCS was 4.26 (2.14); the difference (higher scores among women with NVD, in comparison with LSCS) was found to be statistically significant. Also, the results showed that women with coffee drinking, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, constipation, and without pelvic surgeries had significantly higher stress incontinence scores in comparison to their counterparts. The mean (SD) stress scores showed an increasing trend with age – the difference in stress scores by age groups was found to be a statistic.

Hydrothermal Method of Synthesis of β-Ag2MoO4 Nanorods as a Peroxidase Mimetic for Glucose SensingAuthor: Vinitha PackirisamyDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art025Hydrothermal Method of Synthesis of β-Ag2MoO4 Nanorods as a Peroxidase Mimetic for Glucose Sensing
Abstract:
In this study, β-Ag₂MoO₄ nanorods were synthesized using a hydrothermal method, aiming to explore their potential as a sensing material for L-glucose detection. The synthesis process was optimized to produce uniform nanorods with high crystallinity and surface area, which is essential for enhancing sensor performance. The synthesized β-Ag2MoO4 nanorods characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confirmed the successful formation of β-Ag₂MoO₄ nanorods with desired morphological features. The vibrations existing in β-Ag2MoO4 nanorods were characterized by FT-IR and Raman spectroscopic studies. The electrochemical properties of the nanorods were evaluated, demonstrating their sensitivity and selectivity towards L-glucose. The nanorods exhibited a rapid response time, low detection limit, and excellent reproducibility, making them promising candidates for glucose sensors. This work underscores the potential of hydrothermally synthesized β-Ag₂MoO₄ nanorods in the development of advanced glucose sensing platforms, offering a new approach for the efficient and reliable monitoring of glucose levels in medical diagnostics.

A Rare Case of Torsion of Hydrosalpinx Masquerading as Torsion of the OvaryAuthor: Deepthi PDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art026A Rare Case of Torsion of Hydrosalpinx Masquerading as Torsion of the Ovary
Abstract:
Isolated fallopian tube torsion is an infrequent but significant cause of acute pelvic pain, often difficult to diagnose pre-operatively due to its symptom overlap with other conditions such as ovarian cyst torsion and appendicitis. Hydrosalpinx, a condition typically asymptomatic, can present with acute pain when complicated by torsion. This case report highlights the diagnostic challenges and management strategies associated with hydrosalpinx torsion. A 35-year-old woman with a history of Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) and previous sterilization presented with acute right lower abdominal pain and vomiting. Initial ultrasound suggested a right ovarian hemorrhagic cyst, leading to a preoperative diagnosis of cyst torsion. However, diagnostic laparoscopy revealed a 6x4 cm gangrenous hydrosalpinx on the left with four complete twists, and significant congestion in the right fallopian tube, while the right ovary appeared normal. Surgical intervention included a left salpingo-oophorectomy and right partial salpingectomy. Histopathological examination confirmed the presence of a dermoid cyst in the left ovary and extensive congestion in the fallopian tube. Isolated fallopian tube torsion is exceedingly rare, with an estimated incidence of 1 in 1.5 million. This case emphasizes the importance of including hydrosalpinx torsion in differential diagnoses, particularly when clinical symptoms are inconsistent with radiological findings. Accurate and timely diagnosis is critical for appropriate management and to prevent potential complications.

Dermoscopic and Histopathological Correlation in Cicatricial Alopecias: Unveiling Diagnostic and Therapeutic InsightsAuthor: Maghimaa MDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art027Dermoscopic and Histopathological Correlation in Cicatricial Alopecias: Unveiling Diagnostic and Therapeutic Insights
Abstract:
Trichoscopy is dermoscopic imaging of the scalp and hair. It is a non-invasive proven technique that aids in the diagnosis of alopecia. It enhances the visualization of abnormalities of follicular ostia, perifollicular skin, hair shafts and cutaneous blood vessels. In cicatricial alopecia, loss of follicular openings, atrophy and scattered follicular pustules or single hair follicles can be identified. Prompt diagnosis and timely therapeutic intervention are of extreme importance as permanent hair loss can lead to disorders related to self-esteem and psychosocial interactions. Trichoscopy helps in early diagnosis, monitoring of disease progression and determining the response to therapy. To determine the efficacy of trichoscopy as a valuable and superior non-invasive method over histopathological examination to diagnose cicatricial alopecias. This is a cross-sectional study conducted in our hospital from September 2023 to November 2023. Patients with cicatricial alopecia were selected. Demographic data and clinical variables in terms of site of alopecia, type, duration, size and lesion morphology were documented. Heine delta 30 dermoscope was employed. Both polarized and non-polarized versions were used for examination. In this study, 16 patients were enrolled. The causes of cicatricial alopecia were traumatic alopecia (6), lichen planopilaris (5), discoid lupus erythematosus (4) and acne keloidalis nuchae (1). Dermoscopy facilitated the identification of unique and characteristic features that helped in prompt diagnosis. This was correlated with histopathological findings. Trichoscopy of cicatricial alopecia demonstrates characteristic patterns. It is an accurate diagnostic method that reduces the number of unnecessary biopsies and hence it is crucial for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients.

Airway Management Using LMA‐Evaluation of Two Insertional Techniques: A Prospective Randomised StudyAuthor: Pradeep, KDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art028Airway Management Using LMA‐Evaluation of Two Insertional Techniques: A Prospective Randomised Study
Abstract:
The laryngeal mask airway (LMA), originally conceived as a component of anesthesiologists' airway armamentarium, has now become an indispensable airway adjunct for a broad spectrum of healthcare providers, extending to paramedics managing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest scenarios. his randomized trial compares the success rates of the traditional digital technique versus the 180-degree rotational technique for LMA insertion in patients undergoing superficial surgeries under general anesthesia. After ethical approval and informed consent, 120 healthy adults (ASA grade I-II, ages 18-65) scheduled for superficial surgeries were enrolled. Based on a pilot study, 52 cases per group were needed, with an additional 15% to account for dropouts, resulting in 60 participants per group. Exclusion criteria included emergency surgery, obesity, reflux disease, and procedures requiring prone positioning or lasting over an hour. No significant demographic or clinical differences were found between Group A (standard technique) and Group B (180-degree technique). The success rates were similar between the two techniques. However, the 180-degree technique may provide better oropharyngeal leak pressure, improving airway sealing and ventilation.

Computational Design of Bioactive Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) Analogues Targeting Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) Pathway for Metabolic RegulationAuthor: Sarvesh SabarathinamDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art029Computational Design of Bioactive Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) Analogues Targeting Heme Oxygenase-1 (HO-1) Pathway for Metabolic Regulation
Abstract:
Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) is a flavone-based natural product that has a more significant impact on Diabetes and other cardiometabolic complications. This in silico based computer-aided drug design ensures the drug's Pharmacokinetic parameters and particular compounds towards the precise target. Based on the network data designed, EGCG were docked against PDB: 1N3U, using Dimethyl fumarate as the standard reference. Such desirable quality of modified EGCG will create a spark in the novel drug discovery of a bioenhancer. This slight evidence will support a higher quantum of drug discovery in semisynthetic chemistry toward Metabolic Complications.

Curcumin Versus Curcumin-Iron Complex Docking in Tuberculosis Targets: A Insights on Synthesis & Molecular Docking StudyAuthor: Sarvesh SabarathinamDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art030Curcumin Versus Curcumin-Iron Complex Docking in Tuberculosis Targets: A Insights on Synthesis & Molecular Docking Study
Abstract:
In this contemporary state Natural products play a significant role in drug discovery. This research investigates a Curcumin-Iron complex (CuFe) as a potential new weapon against tuberculosis (TB). The study highlights the global burden of TB and the need for alternatives due to rising drug resistance. Curcumin, a promising compound from turmeric, suffers from poor absorption in the body. The researchers created CuFe and confirmed its structure using XRD analysis to address this. Using computer simulations, they then tested CuFe's binding to key targets in the TB bacteria. Excitingly, CuFe showed superior binding compared to curcumin and existing drugs. The discussion emphasizes the potential of plant-based medicines like curcumin, along with metal complexes, mentioning garlic and piperine as further avenues. The authors conclude that CuFe is a promising candidate, but further testing in animals and humans, along with studies on absorption and regulatory approval, is needed before it can be considered a viable TB treatment.

Anaesthetic Management of A Patient with Pan Facial Trauma with Restricted Mouth Opening Posted for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Facial Bone FracturesAuthor: Mahalakshmi RDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art031Anaesthetic Management of A Patient with Pan Facial Trauma with Restricted Mouth Opening Posted for Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Facial Bone Fractures
Abstract:
Airway management of patients with maxillofacial trauma remains a challenging task for an anaesthesiologist in emergency and perioperative settings due to anatomical distortion. Appropriate planning and a team based approach is mandatory for establishing the airway during elective surgical procedures and in postoperative period. Here we report a 24 year old male with alleged history of road traffic accident who sustained injury to face. Patient had restricted mouth opening of 1 finger breadth due to pain and multiple facial bone fractures. Patient was posted for Open reduction and Internal fixation of facial bone fractures. In view of anticipated difficult intubation airway management was discussed as team and planned. In OR, before induction, USG guided bilateral maxillary and mandibular block was given, which improved patient’s mouth opening. This approach facilitated easy intubation and thereby avoiding airway related complication. The tube was fixed submentally so as to allow good intraoral work space for the surgeons. This case report suggests that use of USG guided maxillary and mandibular blocks facilitated in airway management in this patient with restricted mouth opening. Proper preemptive planning for difficult airway cases and multimodal analgesia helps in managing facial trauma cases successfully without complications.

Distinguishing between Emergence Delirium and Pain in Early Post-Operative Period among Paediatric Patients: A Prospective Observational StudyAuthor: Anand SDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art032Distinguishing between Emergence Delirium and Pain in Early Post-Operative Period among Paediatric Patients: A Prospective Observational Study
Abstract:
Emergence delirium (ED) and postoperative pain are common and significant concerns in paediatric anaesthesia. Both conditions can occur early in the postoperative period and are challenging to distinguish due to overlapping clinical presentations. ED is characterized by confusion, agitation, and disorientation after anaesthesia, often leading to distress in the child and anxiety among caregivers. Postoperative pain can similarly present with agitation and crying, making differentiation critical for effective management. This study aimed to prospectively observe paediatric patients to identify distinguishing characteristics between ED and pain, thereby improving postoperative care and reducing misdiagnosis. This prospective observational study included 100 paediatric patients aged 2 to 6 years. All participants were ASA physical status 1 or 2 and underwent elective surgeries requiring general anaesthesia. Postoperative behaviour was assessed using the PAED score for ED and the FLACC scale for pain. Two trained observers, blinded to the study hypothesis, evaluated the children at multiple time points during and after surgery. The primary outcomes were the incidence of ED and pain, and the relationship between sevoflurane exposure time and these outcomes. The majority of patients (89.375%) exhibited normal postoperative behaviour, while 10.5% experienced ED, and 3.75% experienced pain without ED. A smaller subset (3.5%) experienced both ED and pain. Patients with sevoflurane exposure greater than 100 minutes had a significantly higher risk of ED, with a risk ratio of 4.5 compared to those with less exposure. ED was most prevalent at awakening and rapidly decreased, while pain became more prominent later in the recovery period. While most paediatric patients recover from anaesthesia without issues, a notable group remains at risk for ED, especially with longer sevoflurane exposure.

Association of Microalbuminuria in Patient with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study in A Tertiary Care CentreAuthor: Maghimaa MDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art033Association of Microalbuminuria in Patient with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study in A Tertiary Care Centre
Abstract:
NAFLD (Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) is a prevalent chronic liver disorder characterized by metabolic abnormalities. Microalbuminuria have been linked to cardiovascular and renal diseases, but its association with NAFLD remains underexplored. This cross-sectional study assessed urine microalbumin levels in patients diagnosed with NAFLD. Demographic data, NAFLD grading, and microalbuminuria status were analyzed in non-NAFLD and NAFLD groups. Statistical analysis has been performed to evaluate the associations. Males were more common than females among NAFLD patients (n=100), particularly in the age range of 41 to 60. Compared to non-NAFLD controls (0%), NAFLD patients (76%) had a considerably higher prevalence of microalbuminuria. BMI showed no significant association with NAFLD prevalence. NAFLD grading revealed Grade 1 as the most prevalent (52%), followed by Grade 2 (32%) and Grade 3 (16%). Our findings demonstrate a strong association between microalbuminuria and NAFLD, suggesting a potential link with adverse cardiovascular and renal outcomes. Monitoring microalbuminuria in NAFLD patients may aid in risk stratification and management. There is a need to conduct larger population-based-randomized studies.

The Complexity of Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology, Prevalence, and Innovative Management StrategiesAuthor: Prabhudas NelaturiDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art034The Complexity of Diabetes Mellitus: Pathophysiology, Prevalence, and Innovative Management Strategies
Abstract:
In recent years, the global use of nutraceuticals, nutritional supplements, and natural therapies for therapeutic purposes has grown significantly. Traditional synthetic drugs often fall short in addressing the therapeutic needs of managing diabetes. In contrast, herbal medicines offer a promising alternative with fewer side effects. Nutraceuticals include a wide range of biological interventions such as amino acids, fatty acids, botanicals, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals designed to enhance overall well-being, manage symptoms, and prevent diseases. These agents offer diverse therapeutic benefits and show potential in disease management, prevention, and health promotion. Numerous nutraceuticals in clinical practice address the root causes of diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and their related complications, thereby positively influencing various biochemical and clinical outcomes. Hypoglycemic agents are commonly used in traditional medicine systems to mitigate the risk of diabetes mellitus. In this review, we highlight the risk factors and regional approaches to utilizing nutraceuticals for diabetes management.

Charting the Monthly Waves: An Observational Study on the Dynamics of Premenstrual SyndromeAuthor: Akshaya RadhakrishnanDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art035Charting the Monthly Waves: An Observational Study on the Dynamics of Premenstrual Syndrome
Abstract:
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is an assortment of painful symptoms that occur around the period of menstruation and they are related to hormonal changes that have been known by physicians for millennia, potentially leading to difficulties in daily functioning and a poor quality of living. The Moos Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) was used to gather data in this cross-sectional research with 200 participants in Chennai. ANOVA and T-tests were used to examine the data using SPSS software. Participants were provided with PMS reporting diaries to document symptoms for two consecutive menstrual cycles. The 168 total sample sizes were calculated using the equation of power analysis. There were no irregular menstrual periods among the girls. The average age of the participants was 20.3 years and their average menarche age was 13.5 years. Notably, 124 (73.8%) of individuals reported having considerable blood flow during their menstrual cycle, with 142 (84.5%) of the individuals reported having menstrual cramps. There was no discernible correlation found between the prevalence of PMS and the use concerning junk food, physical activity, sugar, salt, or citrus fruits. Although menstruation is a natural physiological process, many individuals experience menstrual abnormalities and PMS, which require treatment. It is recognized that a significant portion of people have irregular periods and PMS highlights the need for efficient treatment approaches, even though menstruation is a normal physiological function.

Control of Multidrug-Resistant Hospitalized Pathogenic Bacteria Using the Secondary Metabolites of Calotropis procera and In-silico Analysis of Bacterial Virulent ProteinsAuthor: Thangaswamy SelvankumarDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art036Control of Multidrug-Resistant Hospitalized Pathogenic Bacteria Using the Secondary Metabolites of Calotropis procera and In-silico Analysis of Bacterial Virulent Proteins
Abstract:
This study explores the multidrug-resistant pattern of hospitalized pathogens and their pharmacological impact against the secondary metabolites isolated from Calotropis procera, for its medicinal properties. Moreover, this study implies that comprehensive analysis, including isolation of multidrug-resistant hospitalized bacterial species and extraction and characterization of secondary metabolites by GC-MS from Calotropis procera, molecular docking, ADMET profiling, and, was conducted to evaluate the therapeutic potential of these compounds. The multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia, Salmonella typhi, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated and they also showed sensitivity against C. procera leaf extract. GC-MS reveals the key volatile compounds, including oleic acid, and the molecular docking with the proteasome (PDB ID: 5JXG) identified 5-Methyl-2-phenylindolizine as the most promising compound due to its high binding affinity (-6.7 kcal/mol), with 2,6-Dimethylphenol, 3,5-Dimethylaniline, and Ethyl Heptanoate showing progressively lower affinities. Interaction analysis highlighted the importance of PRO266, TRP531, GLU271, and ARG490 residues. ADMET profiling revealed that 2,6-dimethylphenol and 3,5-Dimethylaniline have favorable absorption and minimal CYP interactions, while 5-methyl-2-phenylindolizine demonstrated excellent absorption and BBB permeability. Additionally, the study found that C. procera metabolites could target furin, a proprotein convertase involved in bacterial virulence, offering a novel approach to combat multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. These findings underscore the potential of Calotropis procera metabolites as effective therapeutic agents and active against multidrug-resistant bacterial species.

Promising Health Benefits of FucoxanthinAuthor: Palukuri Yashwanth KumarDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art038Promising Health Benefits of Fucoxanthin
Abstract:
Fucoxanthin, a unique carotenoid found in brown seaweed, contains an allenic bond in its structure along with a cyclic core, conjugated double bonds, and functional groups. It plays a crucial role in photosynthesis by absorbing and transferring light energy to chlorophyll a. It also exhibits health benefits, such as improving immunity and gut health and protective activities, including hepatic, neuro, and nephroprotective against various diseases, which makes it a promising pharmaceutical and dietary component for combating infectious disorders. Recent research focuses on the health-promoting properties of fucoxanthin, highlighting its various health promoting mechanisms, aiming to guide future biochemical studies toward developing new supplements utilizing fucoxanthin and its metabolites. This review provides a foundation for future health-promoting investigations focused on developing novel pharmaceutical and dietary supplements targeting fucoxanthin and its various metabolites

Post-surgical Functional Assessment Following Three Different Types of Surgical Repair in Type III to VI Acromioclavicular Joint DisruptionAuthor: Akshay J KumarDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art039Post-surgical Functional Assessment Following Three Different Types of Surgical Repair in Type III to VI Acromioclavicular Joint Disruption
Abstract:
This study assesses the functional outcomes and associated risks of various surgical procedures for types III to VI acromioclavicular (AC) joint injuries, including Endo button flipping, hamstring grafting, and the suture anchor & eight plate method. Conducted at Saveetha Medical College Hospitals from June 2021 to June 2022, the study involved 21 patients aged 25 to 60 with AC joint injuries, excluding types I and II injuries and those with medical ineligibility. Surgical correction included reconstructing the coracoclavicular ligaments using various techniques, followed by at least one year of follow-up. Functional outcomes were measured using the Constant Murley Score, and radiographic evaluations were performed at set intervals. The mean Constant scores were 92.54, 90.85, and 91.42 for the suture anchor, Endo button flip, and hamstring graft methods, respectively. Although the suture anchor technique had a slightly higher score, the difference was not statistically significant. All methods maintained coracoclavicular distance and provided a good range of motion. Patients treated with suture anchors showed notably fewer complications during the one-year follow-up. In conclusion, all surgical methods resulted in successful outcomes for AC joint injuries of types III to VI, with the suture anchor technique showing a trend toward better functional scores, though without significant differences. Further long-term monitoring is recommended to determine the optimal treatment approach.

Insight on the Health Benefits of Functional Food: Dark ChocolateAuthor: Nallusamy DuraisamyDOI: 10.21522/TIJPH.2013.SE.24.05.Art041Insight on the Health Benefits of Functional Food: Dark Chocolate
Abstract:
Dark chocolate is known for its rich content of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids, which possess potent antioxidant properties that counteract oxidative stress and lower the risk of chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers. Studies have shown that dark chocolate consumption can improve cardiovascular health by enhancing endothelial function and reducing blood pressure. Mendelian randomization studies have further indicated a potential decrease in the risk of essential hypertension and venous thromboembolism. Additionally, dark chocolate may favour lipid metabolism, weight management, and inflammation in individuals with chronic kidney disease. There is also emerging evidence suggesting that dark chocolate could positively influence cognitive function and mood and offer protection against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Researchers are exploring innovative fortification methods to enhance the nutritional profile of dark chocolate and maximize its health benefits. In this review, we have summarized the investigation of the association between dark chocolate consumption and its health-promoting effects.
