Development of individualized risk assessment models for predicting post‐traumatic epilepsy 1 and 2 years after moderate‐to‐severe traumatic brain injury: A traumatic brain injury model system study Open
Objective Although traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post‐traumatic epilepsy (PTE) are common, there are no prospective models quantifying individual epilepsy risk after moderate‐to‐severe TBI (msTBI). We generated parsimonious prediction m…

Pulmonary Hypertension as a Predictor of Early Outcomes of Mitral Valve Replacement: A Study in Rheumatic Heart Disease Patients Open
Aim Mitral valve pathology in rheumatic heart disease patients is a common cause of secondary pulmonary hypertension (PH). Our aim was to evaluate pulmonary hypertension severity as a predictor of in-hospital mortality and early complicati…
Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratios and Infections after Traumatic Brain Injury: Associations with Hospital Resource Utilization and Long-Term Outcome Open
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) induces immune dysfunction that can be captured clinically by an increase in the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). However, few studies have characterized the temporal dynamics of NLR post-TBI and its relat…
Button Battery In Thoracic Esophagus - A Case Report. Open

The Lung Mass and nodule: a case series Open
Lung mass is an abnormal region of 3 cm or more in size present in the lungs mainly due to underlying pulmonary caner. It is usually round, opaque and poorly differentiated on X-ray. Common etiological key players are smoking, exposure to …
Effect of Concomitant Tricuspid Annuloplasty on Early Outcomes of Mitral Valve Replacement: A Study on Rheumatic Heart Disease Patients Open
Introduction Mitral valve abnormalities in rheumatic heart disease commonly lead to functional tricuspid regurgitation. Tricuspid annuloplasty (TA) is often performed in these cases along with mitral valve replacement (MVR). Our aim was to…
Association of early chronic systemic inflammation with depression at 12 months post-traumatic brain injury and a comparison of prediction models Open
Background: Post-traumatic depression (PTD) is a common condition after traumatic brain injury (TBI), which is believed to be potentiated by systemic inflammation. The objective of this study was to study the role of early chronic (1-3 mon…
