Title: Diagnostic value of alcoholic liver disease / non alcoholic fatty liver disease index ( ani ) in differentiating alcoholic liver disease and non alcoholic fatty liver disease one year based observational study in teritary care centre Authors: REG NO:BG0122011 Abstract: Introduction: Distinguishing between alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) poses a significant clinical challenge due to overlapping histopathological features, particularly when patient history regarding alcohol consumption is unreliable. The Alcoholic Liver Disease/Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Index (ANI) has emerged as a promising non invasive biomarker to differentiate between these conditions, potentially obviating the need for liver biopsy. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the ANI scoring system in distinguishing ALD from NAFLD in a tertiary care setting.

Title: To compare clinical profile and outcomes Of acinetobacter baumanii causing Infection vs colonization in icu patients Authors: REG NO:BG0122010 Abstract: ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most significant bacteria causing morbidity and mortality and nosocomial infectons in icu settings and it is also known to cause both infection and sedentary colonization. Owing to characteristics of patients from whom a.baumannii is isolated,it is often difficult to differntiate colonization from infection. This study aimed to evaluate clinical profile and outcomes of acinetobacter baumanni causing infection vs colonization in icu patients

Use of immature platelet fraction to predict time to platelet recovery in patients with dengue infection and for optimal management

Title: Use of immature platelet fraction to predict time to platelet recovery in patients with dengue infection and for optimal management Authors: REG NO:BG0122009 Abstract: Introduction: Dengue fever is a mosquito borne viral infection, which has emerged as a significant global public health threat, with over 12 million cases reported in 2024. Severe dengue is characterised by thrombocytopenia and plasma leakage and can lead to life threatening complications. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of the Immature Platelet Fraction as a predictive marker for platelet recovery time in dengue patients, thereby improving clinical management and reducing unnecessary interventions. Methods: A one year observational study was conducted at a tertiary care center in Belgaum, India, involving 90 dengue patients aged >18 years with confirmed dengue infection. Daily platelet counts and IPF values were monitored, and correlations between these parameters were analyzed. Data were collected using a structured clinical data collection tool, and statistical analysis was performed using R version 4.2.1 and Microsoft Excel.

A study of lipid profile among the pre And post-menopausal women at a Teritiary care centre - a cross Sectional study

Title: A study of lipid profile among the pre And post-menopausal women at a Teritiary care centre - a cross Sectional study Authors: REG NO:BG0122008 Abstract: ABSTRACT Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of mortality among women, with lipid profile alterations playing a crucial role in determining cardiovascular risk. Menopause significantly impacts lipid metabolism, increasing susceptibility to dyslipidemia and CVD. This study aims to compare the lipid profiles of premenopausal and post-menopausal women, focusing on total cholesterol (TC), lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides (TG) to assess cardiovascular risk. Materials and Methods A hospital-based, cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care center in Belagavi, India, over 12 months. A total of 158 women (pre-menopausal and postmenopausal) were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Lipid profiles were assessed using enzymatic methods on a fully automated analyzer after overnight fasting. Statistical analyses, including Student’s t-test and Chi-square tests, were performed using SPSS software, with significance set at p<0.05. Results The study found that post-menopausal women exhibited significantly higher levels of TC, LDL, and TG, along with lower HDL levels, compared to pre-menopausal women. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) was also notably elevated in postmenopausal women, indicating an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. These lipid alterations suggest that estrogen depletion during menopause contributes to unfavorable metabolic changes, increasing CVD risk. AIM: To estimate the lipid profile among the pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women and to estimate the Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) in assessing the cardiovascular risk. OBJECTIVES: 1. To estimate the lipid profile in the pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women. 2. To estimate the Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) in assessing the cardiovascular risk
