    (2000-09-24) Khurana, M; Sharma, D; Khandelwal, P D
    OBJECTIVE: The present study was undertaken to evaluate lipid profile in cigarette smokers and tobacco chewers and to see whether tobacco chewing causes same degree of alteration in lipid profile as done by smoking. METHODS: Serum lipid profile was studied in 30 smokers (Group A), 30 tobacco chewers (Group B) and 30 controls i.e., non-smokers and non-tobacco chewers (Group C). RESULTS: High density lipoprotein-cholesterol was lower both in smoker (P < 0.01) as well as in tobacco chewers (P < 0.001) than the controls. Both smokers and tobacco chewers had higher values of total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol and, triglycerides as compared to non-smoker, non-tobacco chewer group whereas the differences in levels of lipids in smokers and tobacco chewers were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Though different mode of addictions, smoking and tobacco chewing have an equal and comparable adverse effects on lipid profile and therefore raising cardiovascular risk in same proportion.

    Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome: A rare entity.
    (2015-01) Khurana, M; Mahajan, D; Anand, M; Chhabra, A
    Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome(PRES) is a proposed reversible cliniconeuroradiological entity characterized by headache, altered mental status, cortical blindness, seizures, focal neurological signs and a diagnostic magnetic resonance image showing multiple hyperintense signal in cortical and subcortical white matter. We report a case of 25 year female who presented 2 days postdelivery with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. Early diagnosis with MRI showing bilateral parietal and occipital hyperintensities and treatment with manitol, antiepileptics and supportive measure, the syndrome was fully reversible. Clinicians as well as radiologists should be familiar with this clinically frightening, underdiagnosed condition to assure timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent persistent neurological deficits.

    (2015-04) Sharma, A; Negi, E F; Arora, B; Pradhan, D; Khurana, M; Bagai, P; Arora, R S
    BACKGROUND: Assessing nutritional status and delivering optimal nutritional care is a part of modern day treatment of children with cancer. The nutritional practices in India for these children have not been previously described. AIMS: To describe the existing nutrition assessment and management practices for children with cancer in India. METHODS: Attendees of the First International Society of Pediatric Oncology‑Pediatric Oncology in Developing Countries workshop on nutrition in children with cancer organized in September 2014 at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, India were invited to complete a self‑administered questionnaire related to three domains: nutritional assessment, intervention, and education. RESULTS: Hundred and eight respondents from 42 health institutions and background in the health sector participated in the survey. There was variability in nutritional assessment, practice and education. Lack of resources and time are contributory. CONCLUSIONS: This assessment of nutritional services in India provided useful information to plan development of national guidelines, policy, and delivery of services.
