Gastrointestinal dysfunction in the Critically ill Patients
Gastrointestinal dysfunction can be caused by a variety of factors, including stress, infections, food intolerances, medications, and autoimmune disorders. Some gastrointestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), can be chronic and require ongoing management. Gastrointestinal dysfunction can impact overall health and wellbeing, leading to malnutrition, dehydration, and other complications if left untreated. Treatment for gastrointestinal dysfunction may include dietary changes, medications, and lifestyle modifications, such as exercise and stress reduction. Certain medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and antibiotics, can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the gut and contribute to gastrointestinal dysfunction.

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.
