Background: Perioperative anxiety adversely affects mental and physical well-being and it is associated with increased pain, stressor responses with general anesthesia (GA), and nausea-vomiting leading to delayed recovery. Recent studies have proven me…
Background: Chronic sinonasal disorders are commonly treated surgically with endoscopic sinus surgery. Keros classifies the olfactory fossa (OF) into three groups according to the ethmoid roof level. The depth of the OF is determined by the size of the…
Background: Tuberculosis (TB), as a communicable disease, is an ongoing global epidemic that accounts for a high burden of global mortality and morbidity. Drug-resistant TB strains are one of the hurdles in controlling TB problem. TB is the most common…
Background: Obesity has emerged as an epidemic and is known to be associated with multiple co-morbidities, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality. Body-mass index (BMI) has been traditionally used to assess obesity in an individual but abdom…
Background: Although proper placement of nasogastric tube (NGT) is a simple procedure, it can turn into a tedious task in an anesthetized intubated patient due to the absence of propulsive movement of swallowing. Different techniques of NGT placement a…

Background: Shock index is the ratio of heart rate to the systolic blood pressure. The use of shock index for risk stratification or as an indicator of clinical improvement is helpful in early recognition of shock and optimizing treatment in sepsis and…
Background: The quantitative analysis of Th1 and Th2 cytokines by in vitro challenged macrophages from tuberculosis (TB) patients of different clinical setting and healthy controls would enlighten our knowledge of macrophage efficiency at different age…
