To Study the Clinical Profile and Management of Cellulitis of Lower Limb in Northern India Tripta S. Bhagat, Luv Kumar, Prakhar Garg, Apoorv Goel, Amit Aggarwal, Shalabh Gupta International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds, 2023 Cellulitis is a bacterial infection of the dermis and subcutaneous tissues occupying a large proportion of hospital beds. This study was conducted for analysis of patients with cellulitis according to their demographics and clinical presentation and to examine their comorbidities, complications, and its management. This observational cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Surgery at Santosh Medical College and Hospitals involving a total of 60 cases having cellulitis and other soft tissue infections of lower limb. Analysis of their demographic profile, management, and complications was done. Cellulitis is seen commonly in males, 46 (76.6%). The mean age of patients affected by cellulitis in the study was 36.4 ± 1.23 years. The most common site affected is leg involving more people in field jobs. The most common risk factor was trauma in 46.6%, and other factors were diabetes mellitus and smoking, while abscess formation was the most common complication observed in 36.6% of cases. A total of 56.6% cases were managed conservatively, while 43.3% cases required surgical intervention. Mean hospital stay in this study was 5.02 ± 0.23 days. It was concluded that cellulitis is subcutaneous, spreading bacterial infection is more common in males, and its incidence is highest in working age group population. Lower limb is commonly involved. Trauma, smoking, and diabetes are significant risk factors for development of cellulitis. Abscess is the most common complication. About 50% patients with cellulitis can be managed conservatively and the rest require surgical intervention.
Immunomodulator Vitamin C: An Adjuvant Therapy in Second Wave of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pradeep Kumar, Manish Kumar Verma, Rachna Sharma, Rohit Agrawal, Shashi Prabha Singh, Anoop Jaiswal, Om Prakash, Navneet Soni, Poonam Verma, Areena Hoda Siddiqui, Shalabh Gupta, Preeti Sharma Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2022 Since its sudden outbreak in December 2019 in Wuhan, A pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 has been announced. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin with anti-oxidant and immunity-boosting properties. Vitamin C acts as a nutritional supplement profoundly impacting the immune response to the second or third wave of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Vitamin C efficacy as an adjuvant treatment for inflammation and symptoms associated with COVID-19 infection should be investigated further. This report sheds light on the available information on the current clinical trials and pharmacotherapy related to COVID-19. Information available on Pubmed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science databases and EU clinical trials regarding the use of therapeutic agents in patients with COVID-19 was used to perform analysis. Data was taken from 18 clinical trials available in the U.S. National Library of Medicine. All trials that are active, completed, or in the process of recruiting are included in data. Because of majority of clinical trials are still ongoing, specific results and high-quality clinical evidence are lacking. Before being standardised for use, the protocol must undergo large randomised clinical studies using a variety of existing medications and potential therapies. The pivotal role played by vitamins C in maintaining our immune system, is quite apparent. This review is an attempt to summarize the available information regarding the use of vitamin C as an adjuvant therapy in COVID-19 patients.
Fournier’s gangrene: a rare manifestation of Chikungunya fever Apoorv Goel, Shalabh Gupta, Ayush Agarwal, Nitin Shiwach, Vishal Chawda, Tripta S Bhagat Tropical Doctor, 2018 Fournier’s gangrene was first described by the venereologist Jean Alfred Fournier in 1883 as fulminant necrosis of the scrotum and penis following urogenital infection. It is a necrotising fasciitis of external genitalia. Predominantly seen in elderly men, diabetics and immunodeficient patients, it is a polymicrobial infection caused mainly by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus species and anaerobes. Fournier’s gangrene spreads extensively to the surrounding tissue and frequently results in septic shock and multi-organ failure. Active treatment includes broad spectrum intravenous antibiotics and radical surgical debridement of necrotic tissue. Chikungunya fever is caused by Chikungunya virus (family togaviridae, genus alphavirus) which is transmitted by the bite of infected Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopicusmosquitoes. Constitutional symptoms are high grade fever, a petechial or maculopapular rash of the trunk and occasionally limbs, and marked polyarthritis/ arthralgia, and intense headache, insomnia and extreme prostration. This disease is usually self-limiting but is associated with significant morbidity related to persistent arthritis and long-term anti-inflammatory therapy. Treatment is supportive. Mucocutaneous manifestations include facial flush, fine discrete morbilliform exanthema, pigmentary changes, apthous ulcers, desquamation, scrotal dermatitis and purpura. Though scrotal dermatitis or scrotal ulcers are rare manifestations, necrotising fasciitis may present in the form of Fournier’s gangrene. We hereby present such a case.
Innovative Economical Surgical Suture Board Shalabh Gupta, Apoorv Goel, Ayush Agarwal, Atul Kumar Gupta, Tripta S. Bhagat Indian Journal of Surgery, 2017 The aim of this study is to develop an economical suture board for practising suturing skills and techniques. Suture boards were made by using local electric boards, small leather patch, four suction buttons, six screws and a hook. These suture boards are multipurpose boards which are economical and available all the time in department for practicing. This board can also be placed in endotrainer for laparoscopic suturing skills. This economical suture board is cheap, easily available and helps in practicing various suturing and knot tying techniques.
