written by Medically Speaking

After the first case of Monkeypox was discovered in Delhi on Sunday, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal urged people not to worry and assured them that the “best team is on the case to prevent the virus’s spread.”

He said that separate isolation wards have been made at LNJP hospital for Monkeypox-infected patients. “First case of Monkeypox detected in Delhi. The patient is stable and recovering. There’s no need to panic. The situation is under control. We have made a separate isolation ward at LNJP. Our best team is on the case to prevent the spread and protect Delhiites,” tweeted Arvind Kejriwal.

A 34-year-old guy with no travel history has been diagnosed with Monkeypox in Delhi.

This is India’s fourth case of the viral sickness, and the first without a travel history.

With a fever and skin rashes, he was brought to the hospital. However, the patient is in good health.

Previously, instances in India were among nationals returning from the Middle East, but in Thailand, an international resident in the country tested positive for Monkeypox.

Monkeypox in India

The first instance of the Monkeypox virus was discovered in India on July 14 when a UAE visitor returned to Kerala. He was accepted into Thiruvananthapuram Medical College.

On July 18, India announced its second incidence of monkeypox in Kerala’s Kannur district. On July 22, India announced its third case of monkeypox in the Malappuram district of Kerala.

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the virus a public health emergency of worldwide concern earlier on Saturday, citing the growing monkeypox outbreak in more than 70 nations.

YOUNGEST PATIENT IN INDIA UNDERGOES REMOVAL OF OBSTRUCTION IN FOOD PIPE BY SPECIAL ENDOSCOPIC PROCEDURE CALLED POEM (PER ORAL ENDOSCOPIC MYOTOMY)

by Medically Speaking July 25, 2022

written by Medically Speaking

“The challenge for us was to do this novel procedure in such a low weight child of this young age of 6 years (one of the youngest in India to the best of our knowledge) and also low weight of the child 11 Kg (lowest weight to the best of our knowledge in India) as there was substantial risk of infection, aspiration and respiratory problem in this emaciated underweight child. There was also going to be limitations of the use of adult endoscopic equipment and accessories used in POEM procedure to be used in a small child.” said Prof. (Dr.) Anil Arora

Recently the Department of Gastroenterology at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital received a 6 year old girl who was not able to swallow food for almost 3 years (Picture attached).

She had repeated vomitings and regurgitation of food from mouth and nose which resulted in her marked weight loss.

Prof. (Dr.) Anil Arora, Chairman and Head of the Department of Gastroenterology at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, “When she came to us she was very thin, emaciated and marasmic (protein malnutrition) and weighed 8-10 Kgs lower than the normal weight of her corresponding peers. We diagnosed her to be suffering from Achalasia Cardia (swallowing disorder) after evaluating her with endoscopy, barium swallow (Figure 1) followed by high resolution esophageal manometry.”

Till recently the established treatment of Achalasia Cardia in children was surgical intervention but in her case we decided to perform a relatively new endoscopic procedure in this child called POEM (Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy).

Prof. (Dr.) Anil Arora further added, “The challenge for us was to do this novel procedure in such a low weight child of this young age of 6 years (one of the youngest in India to the best of our knowledge) and also low weight of the child 11 Kg (lowest weight to the best of our knowledge in India) as there was substantial risk of infection, aspiration and respiratory problem in this emaciated underweight child. There was also going to be limitations of the use of adult endoscopic equipment and accessories used in POEM procedure to be used in a small child.”

According to Dr. Shivam Khare, Consultant, Department of Gastroenterology, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, “The POEM procedure consists of four steps: (A) Mucosal entry (B) Creation of submucosal tunnel (C) Initiation and Extension of Myotomy and (D) Closure of Mucosal Entry”.

The above four steps mean cutting the internal lining of the food pipe, creating a tunnel between the muscle layers and the inside lining of the food pipe, then, cutting the tight muscle at the stomach and food pipe junction, and lastly closing the internal lining with Hemoclips after exiting the tunnel.

Achalasia cardia is seen rarely in the pediatric population as less than 5% of all cases present below 15 years of age globally.

The procedure took 1½ hours and the child’s obstruction and blockage at the junction of the food pipe and stomach was immediately relieved.

This would not have been possible without the ardent team support of a well trained team of Endoscopic Assistants, Pediatrics Anesthetist and Pediatrics Surgeons.

After the surgery the child was able to consume a normal diet within 4 days and left the hospital smilingly.

POEM (Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy) is an endoscopic procedure used to treat obstruction at the lower end of the food pipe due to failure of relaxation of lower esophageal sphincter (musculature opening) due to motility disorder called Achalasia Cardia.

POEM is a relatively new advanced endoscopic procedure which can be performed in the endoscopic suite itself without any incision on chest or abdomen, with a minimal post- procedure stay.

According to Dr. Shivam Khare, “We believe that with increasing expertise and availability of multispecialty team this procedure can be safely done for long lasting relief from dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing) and regurgitation (vomiting) of food so that these hapless children can be properly treated and achieve the full potential of physical and mental growth especially in the formative year of early childhood and adolescence.”

Elaborating further, Prof. (Dr.) Anil Arora said, “With state-of-the-art advanced diagnostic procedures like high resolution esophageal manometry and high definition endoscopes, disorders like Achalasia Cardia can be easily diagnosed. We have already successfully performed this procedure in 427 cases till date in our hospital. But this procedure in a young child of 6 years weighing only 11 kg has been performed for the first time in India.”

Enhance Surveillance, Public Health Measures For Monkeypox: WHO

by Medically Speaking July 25, 2022

written by Medically Speaking

The World Health Organization today called on countries in South – East Asia Region to strengthen surveillance and public health measures for monkeypox, with the disease being declared a public health emergency of international concern.

“Monkeypox has been spreading rapidly and to many countries that have not seen it before, which is a matter of great concern. However, with cases concentrated among men who have sex with men, it is possible to curtail further spread of the disease with focused efforts among at-risk population,” *said Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh, Regional Director, WHO South-East Asia Region.*

Globally, over 16000 cases of monkeypox have been reported from 75 countries. In the WHO South-East Asia Region, four cases of monkeypox have been reported, three from India and one from Thailand. The cases in India are among nationals who returned home from the Middle East, while in Thailand an international living in the country has been confirmed positive for monkeypox.

*The Regional Director said* , “Importantly, our focused efforts and measures should be sensitive, devoid of stigma or discrimination.”

The decision to term monkeypox as a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) was announced by *Dr Tedros, Director-General WHO,* yesterday, a day after he convened yet another meeting of the IHR emergency committee to review the multi-country outbreak.

“Though the risk of monkeypox globally and in the Region is moderate, the potential of its further international spread is real. Also, there are still many unknowns about the virus. We need to stay alert and prepared to roll out intense response to curtail further spread of monkeypox,” *Dr Khetrapal Singh said.*

Since the start of the outbreak, WHO has been supporting countries assess risk, and initiate public health measures, while also building and facilitating testing capacities in the Region.

Engaging and protecting the affected communities; intensifying surveillance and public health measures; strengthening clinical management and infection prevention and control in hospitals and clinics; and accelerating research into the use of vaccines, therapeutics and other tools, are among the key measures that need to be scaled-up, the Regional Director said.

Monkeypox virus is transmitted from infected animals to humans via indirect or direct contact. Human-to-human transmission can occur through direct contact with infectious skin or lesions, including face-to-face, skin-to-skin, and respiratory droplets.

In the current outbreak countries and amongst the reported monkeypox cases, transmission appears to be occurring primarily through close physical contact, including sexual contact. Transmission can also occur from contaminated materials such as linens, bedding, electronics, clothing, that have infectious skin particles.

WHO concerns on Monkeypox

The first Indian elected as Regional Director of the World Health Organization’s South-East Asia Region expressed concern over the rapidly spreading cases of monkeypox, but noted that since cases are concentrated among men who have sex with men, further spread of the disease could be stopped with targeted efforts among the at-risk population.

“It is really concerning that monkeypox is spreading quickly to many nations that have never previously experienced it. With targeted efforts among the at-risk population, the disease can be stopped from spreading further as cases are concentrated among males who have sex with other men “In a statement, WHO Regional Director Dr. Poonam Khetrapal Singh said.

Monkeypox has been deemed a public health emergency of worldwide significance, and the World Health Organization has called on nations in the South-East Asia Region to step up surveillance and public health measures.

World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared on Saturday that the global monkeypox outbreak “represents a public health emergency of international significance.”

In 75 countries, including three in India and one in Thailand, more than 16000 cases of monkeypox have been documented.

While an international resident of Thailand has been verified to have monkeypox, the cases in India are among citizens who have recently returned from the Middle East.

Telangana: Kuwait returnee suspected for monkeypox

by Medically Speaking July 25, 2022

written by Medically Speaking

According to the Telangana Public Health Department, a 40-year-old man from Telangana’s Kamareddy who had travelled from Kuwait reported signs of monkeypox on Sunday.

The man lives in Indiranagar Colony in the Kamareddy district. He has been sent to Hyderabad’s Fever Hospital. On July 6, the guy landed in Hyderabad from Kuwait. On the 20th of July, the guy acquired a fever, and on the 23rd, he developed rashes. He went to a private hospital in Kamareddy the next morning.

The doctors diagnosed him with monkeypox and referred him to Kamareddy District Hospital.

“A suspect case is being sent to Fever Hospital from Kamareddy. The suspect has the travel history of Kuwait a few days back. He had some legions and fever. So the District Hospital has reffered him to the Fever Hospital for admission and quarantine,” Fever Hospital superintendent Shankar told ANI.

Director of Public Health, Telangana G Srinivasa Rao, said, “From Kamareddy, we are shifting the patient to a fever hospital. Here the sample is collected and sent to the National Institute of Virology Lab in Pune. Until then we will keep him in isolation in the fever hospital and provide treatment. We have identified six people who had direct contact with this person. None of them had any symptoms. However, we isolated them.”

“We are taking all the necessary steps. People need not worry about monkeypox. It is not a fatal disease,” he added.

Meanwhile, Harish Rao, Telangana’s Health Minister, had evaluated the situation.

On Sunday, the fourth case of the monkeypox virus in India was discovered in Delhi. The patient, who was hospitalised to the city’s Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital, had no foreign travel history.

Monkeypox has been deemed a public health emergency by WHO as of yesterday.

World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared on Saturday that the global monkeypox outbreak “represents a public health emergency of international significance.”

In 75 countries, including three in India and one in Thailand, more than 16000 cases of monkeypox have been documented.

While an international resident of Thailand has been verified to have monkeypox, the cases in India are among citizens who have recently returned from the Middle East.

The World Health Organization urged South-East Asian nations on Sunday to increase public health and surveillance efforts for

The regional director stressed the need for sensitive, anti-stigma, and anti-discriminatory initiatives and actions.

“Monkeypox is a moderate concern both internationally and in the Region, but it does have the potential to move further abroad. In addition, there are still a lot of questions about the virus. In order to stop the further spread of monkeypox, we must be vigilant and ready to take immediate action “Dr. Singh continued.

Since the outbreak’s inception, WHO has assisted nations in assessing risk, launching public health initiatives, and establishing and enabling testing capacities throughout the Region.

The Regional Director listed several important measures that need to be scaled-up, including involving and safeguarding the affected communities, stepping up surveillance and public health initiatives, enhancing clinical management and infection prevention and control in hospitals and clinics, and speeding up research into the use of vaccines, therapeutics, and other tools.

Direct/Indirect contact can spread Monkeypox

Direct or indirect contact between infected animals and people can spread the monkeypox virus. Direct skin-to-skin, skin-to-skin, and respiratory droplet contact with infectious skin or lesions can result in human-to-human transmission. Transmission appears to be predominantly through close physical contact, including sexual contact, in the areas where the current outbreak is happening as well as among the cases of monkeypox that have been documented.

Additionally, contaminated items with infectious skin particles, like linens, mattresses, electronics, and clothing, can spread the disease.

written by Medically Speaking

A 31-year-old man from Delhi has been diagnosed with the first case of monkeypox, according to Dr. Suresh Kumar, Medical Director of Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan (LNJP) Hospital, on Sunday.

This is the first instance without a prior history of travel and the fourth case of the viral illness in India. A medical college called Maulana Azad admits the patient.

The 31-year-old man, who has never travelled before, has been accepted to Maulana Azad Medical College.

He had skin lesions and a fever when he was taken to the hospital. The patient is stable, nevertheless.

In the past, instances in India have mostly affected citizens who have recently returned from the Middle East, whereas a foreign resident of Thailand has been proved to be positive for monkeypox.

Following a traveller from the UAE’s return to Kerala on July 14, the first incidence of monkeypox emerged in India. The Thiruvananthapuram Medical College has accepted him.

In Kerala’s Kannur district, India announced its second incidence of monkeypox on July 18. In contrast, the Malappuram district of Kerala, India, reported its third case of monkeypox on July 22.

As the monkeypox outbreak spread across more than 70 countries earlier on Saturday, the World Health Organization (WHO) designated the virus a public health emergency of international concern.

“I have judged that the global monkeypox outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern,” stated WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

The monkeypox virus causes monkeypox, which is a viral zoonotic infection, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). It is primarily disseminated through human contact.

It is really concerning that monkeypox is spreading quickly to so many nations that have never previously experienced it.

With targeted efforts among the at-risk population, the disease can be contained given that infections are concentrated among men who have intercourse with other men, according to a statement from WHO Regional Director Dr. Poonam Khetrapal Singh.

The disease has been deemed a public health emergency of global significance, and the World Health Organization on Sunday urged nations in the South-East Asia Region to step up surveillance and public health measures for monkeypox.

Wearable fitness monitors promote weight loss

by Medically Speaking July 24, 2022

written by Medically Speaking

Millions of individuals worldwide believe that fitness trackers, pedometers, and smart watches inspire them to move more and lose weight, according to a recent study by Australian academics.

The research’s results were released in Lancet Digital Health. Wearable activity trackers motivate us to walk up to an additional 40 minutes per day (or roughly 1800 additional steps), which results in an average 1 kg weight loss over the course of five months.

A review of nearly 400 studies involving 164,000 participants who used wearable activity trackers (WATs) to track their physical activity was conducted by researchers from the University of South Australia.

Their findings highlight the importance of low-cost therapies to combat the rising epidemic of diseases like cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and mental illness that are partly brought on by inactivity.

Although WATs are well-liked, there is considerable scepticism regarding their efficacy, accuracy, and whether they contribute to compulsive behaviours and eating disorders, but the evidence is overwhelmingly good, according to lead researcher Ty Ferguson, a UniSA PhD candidate.

Wearable activity trackers are effective across all age groups and for a considerable amount of time, according to the studies we analysed. “They urge people to exercise frequently, to include it in their routine, and to establish weight loss objectives.”

Although a 1kg weight loss may not seem like much, researchers say it is significant from the standpoint of public health.

We wouldn’t anticipate significant weight reduction because these studies focused on lifestyle physical activity rather than weight loss, according to co-author and UniSA Professor Carol Maher.

“Considering that the typical person adds 0.5 kg of weight annually and that two-thirds of Australians are overweight or obese, dropping 1 kg in five months is considerable.”

Wearable activity tracker shipments surged by about 1500% between 2014 and 2020, amounting to a USD 2.8 billion global market in that year.

In addition to the increased physical activity and weight loss linked to WATs, there is some evidence that fitness trackers can help persons with type 2 diabetes and other medical disorders lower their blood pressure and cholesterol.

According to Ferguson, another benefit of WATs is that they reduced depression and anxiety by promoting more physical activity.

For cardiac patients of any age, mental health care is crucial

by Medically Speaking July 24, 2022

written by Medically Speaking

Although they may experience a range of health-related psychological and social challenges throughout their lives, many people who are born with heart abnormalities are resilient and enjoy a wonderful quality of life.

The forms of mental health care that may be helpful are discussed in a new scientific statement that examines potential psychological and social difficulties that may arise from childhood through adulthood among people born with heart abnormalities. The declaration urges interdisciplinary teams that treat children and adults with congenital heart abnormalities to include mental health practitioners. This is more typical in cancer care than cardiac care.

People who are born with anatomical abnormalities of the heart or the blood arteries affecting the heart are said to have congenital heart defects (CHD). To resolve these problems, surgery and catheter procedures are frequently necessary. The majority of CHD patients live into adulthood, and among the more than 2.4 million Americans with CHD, adults now outnumber children. However, a surgical procedure cannot treat CHD.

People may require many operations throughout their lives, as well as specialised cardiac care, particularly if they were born with significant heart conditions.

Adrienne H. Kovacs, Ph.D., chair of the writing committee for the scientific statement and a clinical psychologist who focuses on working with people who have CHD, said, “Decades of research describes the psychological and social stressors and challenges that can present across the lifespan for people with CHD.” “It’s past time that we go beyond awareness to action and give people with CHD better resources and specialised mental health care,”

A scientific statement from the American Heart Association is a professional evaluation of recent findings that could influence future recommendations. The Association addressed cognitive delays and other neurodevelopmental problems in children with CHD in a relevant scientific statement from 2011 on this subject.

To describe the psychological and social difficulties that people face from childhood through maturity and to discuss age-appropriate mental health interventions to enhance quality of life, this statement is the first of its kind.

The new claim states that compared to children without CHD, children with more complex CHDs have a 5-times increased lifetime risk of being diagnosed with anxiety. Only a small percentage of kids with CHD are given the option to receive mental health evaluations or treatments, despite the fact that these kids clearly have emotional, social, and behavioural issues.

Approximately 50% of adults with CHD will experience a mood or anxiety issue during their lifetime, compared to 30% of persons in the general population.

The following statement enumerates the psychological effects of CHD at different phases of life:

Early life — During surgery or other hospitalisation, babies may have traumatic or unpleasant treatments and may spend a lot of time away from their parents and other loved ones. As a result, newborns with CHD may suffer developmental delays, be hypersensitive to light and sound, have trouble eating and sleeping, or exhibit extreme fear and discomfort.

infancy — They might experience more hospitalizations and operations, which would limit their ability to play or go to school, and they might also experience developmental delays. In response, children with CHD could withdraw socially, show signs of worry or despair, struggle in school, or act aggressively or hyperactively.

Adolescence: As adolescents go from paediatric to adult care, they may have health issues at a time when they are trying to gain independence, growing their social circles, and taking on greater responsibility for managing their health care. Adolescents with CHD may experience social challenges, rage, defiance, or frustration in response, or they may struggle with body image issues. Additionally, they might engage in unsafe conduct or disregard health advice.

Getting older During adulthood, there could be repeated surgeries or other cardiac treatments, the development of new or worsening heart problems, and CHD could have a negative effect on possibilities for family planning, job, income, and insurance. Adults with CHD may thus struggle with interpersonal interactions, further education, or work.

They can also struggle with taking care of their own health requirements and develop worries about passing away.

“It makes perfect sense to experience a psychological reaction while dealing with a congenital cardiac abnormality. The illness poses a variety of difficulties throughout life and may involve unexpected news, such as recognising one can no longer physically handle the responsibilities of one’s profession or understanding that childbearing comes with considerable hazards “said Kovacs.

Also Read: Delhi reports cases of swine flu

“In the face of these difficulties, many persons with CHD demonstrate incredible resiliency. In order to help persons with CHD live a full and healthy life, we also wish to normalise psychological reactions and provide care for psychological wellbeing.”

The statement says that approaches to mental health care may include psychotherapy, such as talk therapies for individuals, couples, families, or groups; medication therapy, where a medical team can determine appropriate, heart-safe medications for depression or anxiety; and self-care strategies, such as relaxation techniques and hospital-based or online support groups.

The paragraph makes a solid case for the inclusion of mental health specialists in CHD specialty care teams. As soon as a health issue arises, improved timely access and coordinated care across the multidisciplinary health care team are all benefits of integrated mental health care. It also minimises stigma and normalises emotional responses to health difficulties.

The objective of this statement, according to Kovacs, is to promote psychologically informed care that empowers individuals with CHD and their families and offers emotional support. “Instead of being a specialised service that is only provided in some locations or under unique circumstances, we would rather that mental health assessment and assistance be a component of comprehensive treatment for all patients with CHD.”

Delhi reports cases of swine flu

by Medically Speaking July 24, 2022

written by Medically Speaking

Due to the considerable increase in Swine Flu cases in other states and the continuous rise in Coronavirus infections, health experts have issued a warning about the danger of infection in the nation’s capital. According to experts, Delhi too recorded a surge in Swine Flu infections in August 2021.

“The season of swine flu infection has officially begun. According to Dr. Avi Kumar, Senior Consultant Pulmonology, Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, cases have recently begun to rise in Maharashtra.

Dr. Avi responded, “Swine Flu is typically caused by the influenza virus, which is found in pigs, when questioned about the symptoms of the disease.

Fever, sore throat, runny nose, and nasal block are some of the signs of the swine flu. Basically, the virus affects the upper respiratory system.”

Dr. S. Chatterjee, senior consultant in internal medicine at Indraprastha Apollo, added, “As of right now, I haven’t noticed many cases of swine flu in Delhi. But it might occur at any time. You’ll feel the flu-like symptoms when the season arrives.”

Dr. Chatterjee claims that swine flu can harm other bodily organs. He stated: “The other systems may also be involved. When it affects several organ systems, it may then present with a variety of symptoms. When the pandemic was at its worst, we witnessed a great number of fatalities.

Given that the respiratory system is involved, it may result in multi-organ failure.”

“People that handle pigs are typically the ones who contract swine flu. There are also reports of transfer between people. Therefore, it’s crucial that you regularly wash your hands with soap or an alcohol-based sanitizer “explained Dr. Avi.

“Avoid travelling to crowded locations and refrain from touching the faces of those who have been exposed to the disease. Young children, those under 65, and those with comorbid conditions are more susceptible to infection “Added he.

The Fortis doctor claims that although it is significantly less contagious than Covid-19, it can still result in death for the infected person.

“Swine flu and COVID-19 infections typically have similar symptoms.

In the past, people with Covid infections would lose their sense of smell and taste, but now days the symptoms are very similar. Compared to the swine flu, COVID-19 is more communicable, infectious, and spreads more quickly. According to him, the intensity of the increase also gets worse in Covid.

Death due to Swine Flu

Thus, the swine flu can undoubtedly result in mortality. It must be taken care of as a result. The doctor said, “But there is still no need to worry about it; if one has a fever, Covid-19, Swine flu, or an ordinary cold, then the therapy becomes easy.”

More than 142 Swine Flu cases and seven fatalities have been documented so far in Maharashtra, along with cases in Kerala and Uttar Pradesh.
