QoL was assessed at the baseline and at the end of study using SF-36v2 health care questionnaire. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) were monitored. Investigations at baseline were compared with those after intervention. Pre & post-intervention QoL transformed scores within each group and change in the same between two groups were analyzed using paired and unpaired t-test respectively. Transformed scores of role limitation due to energy/fatigue, emotional well being and general health domains improved significantly in both treatment groups. Scores of bodily pain improved significantly (p=0.0008) in losartan group only. Results were not significantly different between two groups (except for bodily pain).

Aims/Objectives: To find out what patients know about acne, its cause and treatment, as well as myths, misconceptions and attitude towards it. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive questionnaire-based study on acne patients at Maharana Bhupal Hospital, RNT Medical College, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. Results: Most (84.8%) patients belonged to the age group of 16–25 years. The majority (63.9%) presented 12 months after the onset of acne. More than half had average knowledge, a positive attitude and good practices, related significantly to gender and education. Limitations: A standardized questionnaire suitable for all dialects and regional languages would have yielded more uniform results. Conclusion: Study revealed that acne patients still need to acquire accurate, adequate and easily accessible information to seek timely and appropriate treatment, and alleviate their psychological suffering.Item Non-pigmenting fixed drug eruption due to fluoroquinolones.(2017-01) Gupta, Lalit Kumar; Beniwal, Ranjana; Khare, Ashok Kumar; Mittal, Asit; Mehta, Sharad; Balai, ManishaItem Pattern of anti-diabetic drugs prescribed for type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in a tertiary care hospital of India: an observational study(Medip Academy, 2019-07) Kapur, Ajita; Rehan, Harmeet Singh; Gupta, Lalit Kumar; Yadav, MadhurBackground: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a leading cause of significant morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Evaluation of anti-diabetic drug use pattern guides the healthcare professionals to identify early signals of irrational prescribing and to plan interventions to optimize the benefits of pharmacotherapy.Methods: Observational descriptive study was conducted on 500 prescriptions of T2DM patients collected from Outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital. Prescriptions were analysed for type, number, generic/brand names, fixed dose combinations (FDCs) of anti-diabetic drugs and anti-diabetic drugs prescribed from within National List of Essential Medicines (NLEM) 2015.Results: Average number of anti-diabetic drugs per prescription was 2.5. Of these 49% were from within NLEM and only 39% were prescribed by their generic names. Among all the anti-diabetic groups of drugs used, biguanide (32.85%) was the most frequently prescribed followed by insulins (25.4%) and DPP-4 inhibitors (13.75%). Combined drug therapy was more prevalent than monotherapy (70% versus 30%). Metformin+sitagliptin and metformin+linagliptin were most commonly prescribed fixed dose combinations.Conclusions: Recent trend of anti-diabetic drug use included newer anti-diabetic drugs in combination with metformin to achieve better euglycemia and to minimize complications of T2DM.Item Pigmentary demarcation lines in pregnancy.(2005-07-06) Gupta, Lalit Kumar; Kuldeep, C M; Mittal, Asit; Paliwal, Vijay; Singhal, Himanshu; Agarwal, Kalpana; Tantia, JayaItem Tzanck smear: a useful diagnostic tool.(2005-07-06) Gupta, Lalit Kumar; Singhi, M K
