Books & journals : Propel the career of MBBS doctors
Medical literature is the scientific literature of medicine: articles in journals and texts in books devoted to the field of medicine. Many references to the medical literature include the health care literature generally, including that of dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, nursing, and the allied health professions. Original articles describe methods, results, discussion and conclusions and new research that is conducted by the authors. Although according to the evidence-based medicine consensus the randomized controlled trials are the gold-standard for medical research, currently, they constitute only a minority of conducted research. Reviews are an overview of one particular topic of clinical interest in order to refresh the readers' memory, to enhance an emergence concept or to summarize recent publications that haven't appeared in the textbooks yet. Other types of reviews are the systematic reviews and the meta-analysis in which a specific clinical dilemma is answered by collecting and summarizing all published data regarding this question. Case reports are descriptions of clinical cases of rare phenomenon or a new clinical method. Case reports may be of value in assessing unusual medical conditions that cannot be studied in clinical trials. Currently, most of the top-ranked medical journals do not publish case reports because of space constraints or a preference for larger, more definitive studies.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer
Join us for a special webinar on World Ovarian Cancer Day, titled "Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer." This expert-led session will delve into the latest advancements in early diagnosis, risk stratification, and evidence-based management of ovarian cancer. Tailored for gynecologists and healthcare professionals, the session will also explore real-world case discussions and multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Let’s come together to raise awareness and empower clinicians in the fight against this silent but deadly disease
Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
Clinical Approach In Case of CHD
A congenital heart defect diagnosis can be made either before or after the baby is born. Fetal ultrasonography, which is a common prenatal test, can reveal signs of some cardiac problems. A healthcare provider may suspect a congenital heart abnormality in a newborn if the child has: Growth pauses. Variations in nail, tongue, or lip color. Treatment procedures need to be followed either before or during the diagnosis-making process.
Fever Management in Pediatric Emergency
Fever management in pediatric emergencies involves prompt assessment to determine the underlying cause and severity. Accurate temperature measurement is essential for guiding treatment decisions. Antipyretics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen are commonly used to reduce fever and alleviate discomfort. Monitoring for signs of serious illness, such as meningitis or sepsis, is crucial for timely intervention. Educating caregivers on fever management and when to seek medical help ensures better outcomes for pediatric patients.
Latent Autoimmune Diabetes In Adults
Adult-onset autoimmune disease known as latent autoimmune diabetes of adults (LADA) does not require insulin for glycemic management during the first six months following diagnosis. Although LADA is frequently misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes, it has genetic, immunologic, and metabolic characteristics with both types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) (T2DM). Similar to type 2 diabetes, lifestyle modifications may halt the advancement of LADA, as the condition is caused by multiple unknown variables.
