Item Correlation of Thyroid Hormones with FSH, LH and Prolactin in Infertility in the Reproductive Age Group Women(Educational Society for Excellence, 2016) Lal, RZ; Biyani, S; Lodha, R.Introduction: Measurement of prolactin and thyroid hormones, especially thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), has been considered an important component of infertility work up in women. Thyroid dysfunctions interfere with numerous aspects of reproduction and pregnancy. Aim: To correlate thyroid hormones level with FSH, LH and prolactin in infertility in the reproductive age group women. Materials and methods: This study includes 100 infertile women who attended infertility clinic of our institute along with 50 fertile women as a control group between age group of 20 to 40 years. Out of 100 infertile women, 70 were of primary infertility and 30 of secondary infertility. Thyroid hormones and infertility hormones level is measured from all participants by chemiluminance immunoassay. Results: Prolactin and TSH were positively correlated with each other. They were also negatively correlated with LH, FSH and T3 in infertile groups. Therefore we can say that hyperprolactinemia and hypothyroidism plays key role in etiopathogenesis of infertility. Conclusion: There was a higher crude prevalence of hypothyroidism and hyperprolactinemia in the infertile women as compared to the fertile ones in the control group.Item Management of Dengue: An Updated Review(Dr. K C Chaudhuri Foundation, 2023-02) Tayal, A.; Kabra, S.K.; Lodha, R.Dengue is an important public health problem with a wide clinical spectrum. The World Health Organization classifes dengue into probable dengue, dengue with warning signs, and severe dengue. Severe dengue, characterized by plasma leakage, severe bleeding, or organ impairment, entails signifcant morbidity and mortality if not treated timely. There are no defnitive curative medications for dengue; management is supportive. Judicious fuid resuscitation during the critical phase of dengue is the cornerstone of management. Crystalloids are the initial fuid of choice. Prophylactic platelet transfusion is not recommended. Organ involvement in severe dengue should be carefully looked for and managed. Secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is a potentially fatal complication of dengue that needs to be recognized, as specifc management with steroids or intravenous immunoglobulin may improve outcomes. Several compounds with anti-dengue potential are being studied; no anti-dengue drug is available so far.
