Smartphone use in bed is open perceived as a harmless lifestyle choice. However, emerging evidence indicates otherwise. Night time exposure to short-wavelength (’blue’) light and engagement-driven content disrupts the body’s circadian systems, fragments sleep architecture, and …

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is relatively common and has serious implications for morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to compare the incidence, risk factors, and early detection of acute kidney injury in cardiac surgery …

Background: Tibial plateau fractures, though uncommon, present significant clinical challenges due to their intra-articular involvement, variability in fracture patterns, and risk of long-term morbidity. Surgical management aims to restore joint congruity, alignment, and function. Objective: To …

Background: Epistaxis is one of the most common otolaryngology emergencies. Accurate identification of the bleeding point is the key to efficient epistaxis management and reduces the need for more complex procedures, which can prolong hospital stays, increase patient morbidity, and place demands…

Background: When patients cannot stand or only partial remains are available, stature must be estimated from limb dimensions. The ulna is a practical choice because its bony landmarks are sub-cutaneous and its length stabilises by late adolescence. Objective: To derive sex-specific regression eq…

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus, and acute coronary syndrome is more frequent and severe in patients with diabetes. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the angiographic characteristics of diabetic and…

Background: Reliable Indian data on foetal growth and lung maturation are limited. Objectives: To document body size and pulmonary morphogenesis in human foetuses from 16 to 38 weeks of fertilisation age. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional autopsy study was conducted from January 2022 to De…

Background. Tuberculosis remains a major global health problem. In 2023, WHO estimated 10.8 million new cases and 1.25 million deaths worldwide. India contributes about 26 % of these cases. Objective. To measure immediate changes in TB-related knowledge among adult clinically suspected TB patien…

Background: Autopsy studies still give rare insight into silent kidney disease, especially where imaging or screening is limited. Objective: To profile the spectrum and frequency of incidental renal lesions identified at medicolegal autopsy. Methods: A cross-sectional study using consecutive sam…

Background: Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) has a variable clinical course. Limited data are available on therapeutic decisions in patients with mild disease severity. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, record-based observational study of 32 patients with mild GBS (defined as Hughes dis…

Kirschner wires (K-wires) are widely used in orthopaedic surgery as they are readily available, reliable, and cost-effective. Kirschner wires (K-wires) are used for old unreduced elbow dislocations, inserted through the olecranon and into the humerus, if the joint re-dislocates easily. K-wire br…
