GSU Event Portal

Event Portal for Governor’s State University is a concept of Content Management System for college events, conducted by management or students. Users that includes students and management can register in event portal to create, edit or delete events with specific details such as background of event, images, location, data and time. Students should login to the portal to register for any events. Upon every user registration in portal or for any event a confirmation email will be sent to registered mail id. Admin is the super user of the portal to control users and events. A responsive design enables this portal to access this website device friendly. Every content in the portal is fetched from database dynamically. It is a one hotspot of the events completely designed for GSU Event Portal. Technical Details: PHP is used for the server side scripting language; MySQL is the database storage. HTML5, CSS3 is used for front-end UI system. Responsive design will be well handled by Bootstrap framework. jQuery library is used for dynamic actions on webpages. Overall event portal can be able to deploy and use in single spot i.e. XAMPP. It is compatible in Windows, Linux and other platforms

Clinical profile and outcome of snakebite in children at tertiary care centre in Hyderabad, India: a hospital based prospective observational study

Background: Snakebite is generally considered medical emergencies in many parts of the world, particularly in the rural population, and has been linked with the environmental and occupational conditions. Agricultural workers and pediatric groups are most affected in Southeast Asia especially India. This study was conducted to analyze the clinical profile, complications, and outcome of snakebite that will help in the prevention and treatment intervention in the pediatric population. Methods: The present study was conducted at the pediatric tertiary center, Niloufer Hospital, Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad, India during the period of 1 year from January 2019 to December 2019. A total of 59 cases of snakebite were admitted to the pediatric department during the study period. After obtaining consent, data were analyzed for demographic data and other variables included are the site of the bite, time of the bite, time of arrival to hospital and type of snake, features of hematotoxicity and neurotoxicity, ASV requirement, complications, and outcome. Results: Out of a total of 59 patients, 55.93% were male and most of the Snakebites were seen in the age group of 7-12 years. Clinically 48(81.35%) patients presented with signs and symptoms of envenomation and most of them were bitten during the months of June to July. Greater number of bites were unknown Snakebites and lower limb(57.62%) was the commonest site of the bite. Most of the Snakebites i.e. 23(38.98%) happened during evening time and 15 (25.42%) cases during night time. Most of the patients were primarily treated by medical personnel. Majority of patients (32.03%) developed clinical manifestations in 30 min to 1-hour duration followed by 13 cases (22.03%) within 30 min. Majority of patients (38.98%) arrived at the hospital in 3-6 hours. During hospital treatment, 79.66% of victims received anti-snake venom (ASV). Mechanical ventilation required in 12 cases (20.33%) in which the majority of cases (8.47%) were unknown Snakebites. The most common complication was cellulitis (20.33%) followed by respiratory paralysis/coma (15.25%) and coagulopathy (6.77%). Abdominal pain was observed in 11 (18.64%) cases and Abdominal pain was co-existed with neuromuscular paralysis ( 90.90%). Acute kidney injury was seen in 1 case (1.69%). Conclusion: The most endangered group of children for Snakebites are boys aged more than 6 years. As most of the bites take place in lower limbs during evening hours, avoidance of outdoor activities, and protective clothing may significantly reduce the incidence of Snakebites. The presence of abdominal pain followed by neurotoxicity suggesting that pain abdomen is a potentially early feature of snakebite envenomation. Community education about prevention and first aid treatment, early transport, and admission in a hospital with good equipment will reduce the mortality from the snakebit

Atypical manifestations of MIS-N associated with asymptomatic maternal prenatal SARS COV-2 infection -A case series

As we know COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a global public health crisis. Due to the lack of viral receptors in children's lungs and placenta, children and newborns are fortunately less affected. But sometimes maternal antibodies may cause severe inflammation in neonates in the form of  Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-N). Spike protein antibodies which are usually increased after immunization are protective. These antibodies cross the placenta to provide passive immunity to the newborn. Autoantibodies against endothelial, gastrointestinal, and immune cells are may potentially play a role in MIS-N. Here we are presenting atypical presentations of MIS-N. The role of genetic susceptibility in the pathogenesis of MIS-N needs further investigation

Neonatal hypotonia: A case series

Floppy baby is a non-specific and potentially serious multisystem disorder in the neonatal period. Diagnosing hypotonia in a newborn is very difficult as many disorders could manifest with diminished tone. In most cases, medical history and laboratory tests are useful for diagnosis, but they still require advanced research such as whole exome sequencing. The objective of this study was to know the presentation and how we evaluated hypotonia by using basic investigations to comprehensive molecular genetics tests which provides the advantage of the rapidity and diagnostic specificity as a part of the workup. Methods: This study was conducted on infants hospitalised in NICU at a tertiary care centre (Niloufer hospital), Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Clinical presentations, clinical examinations, laboratory tests, imaging, and genetic studies were reviewed. Clinical assessment includes evaluation of muscle tone, primitive reflexes, deep tendon reflexes, resting postures, and maneuvers. We used images and molecular genetic tests in the required cases. Results: Ten babies with hypotonia were studied. The male to female ratio was 6:4. The most common complaint was poor feeding, and other presentations were seizures, tachypnea, and icterus. On examination, all cases had hypotonia with absent DTR, and a few cases had dysmorphism
