Central venous catheter (CVC) use is common in the management of critically ill children, especially those with congenital or acquired heart disease (CHD).
Prior studies suggest that the presence of a CVC augments the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in adults and children.
In recent years, the reported incidence of VTE in children has increased dramatically.
How CVC-associated DVTs contribute to morbidity and mortality in this high risk patient population is unknown
ANEMIA IS ASSOCIATED WITH GREATER MORBIDITY AND RESOURCE UTILIZATION IN PEDIA...Texas Children's Hospital
Design: Retrospective cohort study querying the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database, comprised of 50 children’s hospitals over 10 years (01/2008 to 12/2017).
Admissions of patients aged < 21 years (yr) with ICD-9/10 codes for systolic HF were included. Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) codes were excluded to avoid confounding by polycythemia due to cyanotic CHD.
Demographic and clinical features and procedures during admission reviewed using ICD-9/10 coding.
Outcomes: Primary outcome was composite cardiac death (CCD, defined as ventricular assist device (VAD), heart transplant (HTx), or death during admission), and the secondary outcomes were hospital length of stay (LOS) and billed charges.
Univariate and multivariable analyses performed using generalized estimating equations (GEE) for categorical outcomes and mixed modeling for continuous outcomes, to account for clustering by hospitals - factors with p<0.2 on univariate analysis included in the initial multivariable model, and factors with p<0.05 retained in successive models.
In a hospital admission of a pediatric patient with systolic HF without CHD, anemia is associated with more systemic comorbidities, and greater resource utilization (longer LOS and higher billed charges).
This suggests a need for examining anemia management strategies to optimize pediatric HF outcomes.

Diseases of blood vessels (referred in this article as vascular dysfunction) cause more morbidity and mortality, than combined impact of any other major non-communicable disease including cancer. We strongly feel that the development of a therapy system based on the management of disease of the vessel than management of the risk factors will yield better results and provide greater opportunity for individualized therapy. Detection of early vascular changes before clinical manifestations of endothelial dysfunction, hardening of the arteries, increased intima-media thickness, is of great importance for early identification of individuals with increased risk of accelerated atherosclerosis.

Assessment of Intermediate Coronary Artery Lesion with Fractional Flow Reserv...Premier Publishers
Fraction flow reserve (FFR) is considered the gold standard for assessing intermediate coronary lesions. Retrospective data analyses showed variable relationship between intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) parameters and FFR results. This study aimed to determine the optimal minimum lumen area (MLA) by IVUS that correlates with FFR and to assess the correlation between two modalities in assessing intermediate coronary lesions. Methods: Fifty eight intermediate coronary lesions mainly located in proximal and mid segments of large main coronary vessels with RVD (3-4mm) were analyzed using both IVUS and FFR to assess the significance of coronary stenting and to determine the optimal IVUS-MLA that correlates with FFR value < 0.8. Results: IVUS-MLA ranged from 2.5 to 4.2 mm2 had a highly significant positive correlation with FFR value < 0.8 (p < 0.0001). Using the ROC curve analysis, IVUS-MLA < 3.9 mm2 (84.2% sensitivity, 80% specificity, area under curve (AUC) = 0.68) was the best threshold value for identifying FFR <0.8>< 0.8 in coronary vessels with RVD (3-4mm). Different MLA cutoffs should be used for different vessel diameters.

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
