The prevalence of drug-induced tardive dyskinesia in this study was high. Prescribing medications less than 600mg equivalent dose of chlorpromazine, giving attention for female patients, patients having a diagnosis of major depressive disorder, and reducing giving anticholinergic medications will be important measures for clinicians to reduce the occurrence of tardive dyskinesia.Retropharyngeal deep neck infection sometimes necessitates securing of the airway and surgery for drainage. Airway management in patients with deep neck infection is challenging for anesthesiologists. A 56-year-old woman diagnosed with deep neck infection was admitted for incision and drainage. In the first operation for incision and drainage, indirect videolaryngoscope was utilized to confirm the airway before tracheal intubation, and the patient was intubated successfully. In the second operation for wound closure, dexmedetomidine administration and high-flow nasal cannulation were used during monitored anesthesia care throughout a subsequent procedure. The outcome in the present case suggests that indirect videolaryngoscope, dexmedetomidine, and high-flow nasal cannula can facilitate effective management during surgery in patients with retropharyngeal deep neck space infection.Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD) is a complication fundamentally associated with cataract surgery, the subclinical presentation being higher than expected. There are many varied treatments, from simple observation to penetrating keratoplasty. We present a case report of a 78-year-old male patient, without comorbidities, who underwent cataract surgery with phacoemulsification plus intraocular lens implantation in the capsular bag of the left eye. During the intraoperative procedure, he presented a DMD (height of 350 um and length of 3 mm in Zone 1 according to the HELP algorithm), managed with adaptive viscoelastic under the soft-shell technique in the same operative act, injection of iso-expansile SF6 (20%) intracameral plus postural positioning for 2 hours carried out 48 hours after surgery plus intensive topical treatment with hypertonic sodium chloride and steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. At 72 hours after the operation of the application of the gas bubble, he presented with a transparent cornea and a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/80, which finally for his ophthalmological control at 8 weeks presented definitive resolution of the case in the AS-OCT and with a BCVA of 20/30.

Globally, nearly 38 million people are living with HIV, and 1.8 million are children. Each day approximately 5600 people acquire HIV. Since the emerging of HIV, 78 million people have been infected and close to 39 million have died. In developing countries, from all new HIV infections, half are because of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT). The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of option B+ prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) and to develop strategies that contribute to eliminate MTCT in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The study was conducted in three hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with a qualitative approach. Sixteen (16) in-depth interviews of HIV-positive mothers who had PMTCT follow-up and six focus group discussions with health professionals who work at a PMTCT unit were conducted. To analyse the data ATLAS.ti version 7 was used.

According to the findings of this study mother-to-child HIV transmission was associated with lack of HIV-discordant couples counselling guidelinedisclosure with option B+ PMTCT; Strategy 3 develop disclosure policy and counselling guideline for PMTCT; and Strategy 4 formulate special PMTCT guideline for HIV-positive commercial sex worker mothers.

The Norwegian Cognitive Impairment After Stroke (Nor-COAST) study aimed to estimate the prevalence and incidence of neurocognitive disorder in an unselected stroke cohort. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether selection bias occurred by comparing baseline characteristics from participants with non-participants in Nor-COAST.

Nor-COAST is a prospective cohort multi-center study, recruiting participants from five Norwegian hospitals. Patients with the diagnosis of acute stroke were screened for inclusion. Baseline data from the participants recruited between May 2015 and March 2017 were compared to corresponding data from those not participating in Nor-COAST but registered in the Norwegian Stroke Registry. Regression analysis was used to assess whether age, stroke severity, sex and stroke subtype were independently associated with inclusion in the study.

Out of 2505 available patients, 815 (32.5%) were included in Nor-COAST. Luzindole There were no differences between participants and non-participaarticipants in Nor-COAST had a better pre-stroke health condition and milder strokes compared to non-participants. However, the participants should be regarded as representative of the majority of the stroke population which suffers from mild strokes. Nevertheless, baseline information for non-participants should be available also in future clinical studies to make it easier to identify which part of the stroke population the results can be generalized to.

To establish the validity of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) diagnoses in the Danish Stroke Registry (DSR) and the Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR).

Based on discharge summaries and brain imaging reports, we estimated the positive predictive value (PPV) of a first-ever diagnosis code for ICH (ICD-10, code I61) for all patients in the Region of Southern Denmark (1.2 million) during 2009-2017 according to either DNPR or DSR. We estimated PPVs for any non-traumatic ICH (a-ICH) and spontaneous ICH (s-ICH) alone (ie, without underlying structural cause). We also calculated the sensitivity of these diagnoses in each of the registers. Finally, we classified the location of verified s-ICH.

A total of 3,956 patients with ICH diagnosis codes were studied (DSR only 87; DNPR only 1,513; both registries 2,356). In the DSR, the PPVs were 86.5% (95% CI=85.1-87.8) for a-ICH and 81.8% (95% CI=80.2-83.3) for s-ICH. The PPVs in DNPR (discharge code, primary diagnostic position) were 76.2% (95% CI=74.7-77.6) for a-ICH and 70.
