Methods: Medical and nursing professionals involved in COVID-19 care in a tertiary care hospital were invited to participate in a cross-sectional study using a self-administered online questionnaire within the period from November 2020 to February 2021. This online questionnaire collected information on demographic variables, clinical variables, and physical symptoms prevalence in the past month and the responses to the Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R) instrument. The association between demographic, clinical variables, and physical symptoms with mental health was evaluated by linear regression. Results: A total of 143 participated with the mean age of 41.82±7.26 years. IES-R scale which measured psychological impacts showed a mean score of 17.35±12.53 and ...

Research paper thumbnail of Role of Wet Mount and Cytospin Smears in Diagnosing Urothelial Carcinoma: A Descriptive Observational Study

The demonstration of exfoliated neoplastic cells in urine sediment cytology is one of the choices of investigation. Aim: To study the morphology of atypical cells of urine sediment in unstained wet mount preparation and urine sediment obtained by cytospin smear stained with Papanicolaou stain. Materials and Methods: It was a descriptive observational study done over a period of 29 months i.e., from July 2016 to December 2018 at SS Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Davangere, Karnataka, India. Using non probability sampling method, 50 urine samples were analysed by DIRUI-H 500 a semi automatic urine analyser, which were further examined by wet mount preparation and cytospin smear stained with papanicolaou stain. Results were analysed by whether the smears were positive or negative for atypical cells based on the cytological and nuclear d...

It may accompany other abnormalities or occur as an isolated defect. The aim of the study was to estimate the association between SUA and other birth defects in a series of perinatal autopsies. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 322 fetuses sent for autopsy from June 2016 to December 2017 at M.R. Medical College, Kalaburagi. Results: Of 322, ten fetuses (3.12%) had single umbilical artery. Among which 6 cases were associated with urinary anomalies, 1 case with associated cardiac anomaly, 1 case of inencephaly and 2 were of isolated SUA defect. Conclusion: Single umbilical artery is commonly associated with other congenital anomalies and it has a strong association with urinary anomalies.

Research paper thumbnail of A two year retrospective study of cytohistopathological correlation of cervical smear in a tertiary care hospital

The introduction of Pap smear test changed the scenario of cervical cancer with an intense drop in the incidence and mortality due to invasive cervical cancer. Aims and Objective: To evaluate the patterns of cervical smear cytology and to correlate the cervical smear diagnosis with histopathological diagnosis and to assess the efficacy of Pap smears in diagnosing cervical lesions. Materials and Methods: This two-year retrospective study (January 2018 to December 2019) was done in the department of Pathology in a tertiary care hospital. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy were calculated considering histopathological diagnosis of cervical biopsy as the gold standard. Results: A total of 316 Pap smears were studied, out of which we selected 154 cases who also undergone biopsy or hysterectomy. Epi...
