Abstract:
Airway clearance is essential for managing Muco-Obstructive Lung Diseases (MOLDs). Percussion, a widely used airway clearance technique (ACT) in community and home care settings, is favored for its ease of implementation compared to other complex techniques. However, percussion is time-consuming and physically demanding for both caregivers and patients, as caregivers typically perform percussion on the entire back to avoid missing accumulated sputum when its exact location is unknown. Therefore, accurate sputum localization can significantly enhance the percussion experience. Current clinical

Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB) remains as a major public health issue in developing countries. Accurate detection is essential for the proper management of patients with active disease. Here, we present a simple DNAzol-LAMP (loop-mediated isothermal amplification) procedure for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum specimens. Twenty smear-positive sputum samples were analyzed as follows: (i) Genetic material was extracted by a standard DNAzol protocol, and (ii) mycobacterial DNA was detected by a typical TB-specific loop-mediated isothermal amplification method.

Abstract:
India has 2.64 million tuberculosis (TB) cases, and this number is almost 30% of the worldwide TB burden. The aim of the study was to find out whether there is a relationship between the prevalence of TB cases with respect to gender, duration of cough and location. In this study, sputum samples were collected from the patients who reported cough in outdoor patient departments. All sputum samples were examined microscopically. Age, gender, and location-wise data were prepared for study. During the study period, total 37119 presumptive patients were attended outpatient department and 1103 (2.97%

Abstract:
Background: Sternotomy for cardiac surgery results in significant postoperative pain, which, if inadequately managed, can impair respiratory function, prolong recovery, and increase opioid consumption. Poor pain control leads to reduced inspiratory effort, atelectasis, decreased sputum clearance, and respiratory infections. Effective analgesia is essential for optimizing postoperative outcomes while minimizing opioid-related side effects. Regional anesthesia techniques, particularly parasternal intercostal blocks, have shown promise in improving pain relief, enhancing pulmonary function, and r

Abstract A 25-year-old male electrician was admitted with burns sustained whilst maintaining an electrical plant in a factory. The history obtained from the firemen was of rescue from a smoke-filled room. He was unconscious at the time of rescue. There were signs of an electrical fire. On admission he was covered in soot. There was a 40% skin surface burn, including face and neck. He was coughing up black sputum. Examination of the palate revealed soot particles. There was a deep burn on the right hand consistent with an electrical injury and a possible exit wound in the anterior surface of th
