Journal ArticleDOI

K time & maximum amplitude of thromboelastogram predict post-central venous cannulation bleeding in patients with cirrhosis: A pilot study.

TL;DR: The results show that the cut-off value for INR ≥2.6 and K time ≥3.05 min predicts bleeding and MA ≥48.8 mm predicts non-bleeding in patients with cirrhosis undergoing central venous pressure catheter cannulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence and Predictors of Thyroid Dysfunction in Patients with HIV Infection and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome: An Indian Perspective

TL;DR: Burden of thyroid dysfunction in chronic HIV infection with stable immune function is lower compared to pre-HAART era, and severe immunodeficiency at disease onset, TPOAb positivity, and tuberculosis were best predictors of ScH.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence, patterns & predictors of hypogonadism in patients with HIV infection in India.

TL;DR: Hypogonadism was observed to be a significant problem in HIV-infected men and women in India, affecting 39 and 29 per cent patients, respectively, and age and CD4 count increment in first 6-12 months following HAART were the best predictors of POI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence & predictors of osteoporosis & impact of body composition alterations on bone mineral health in asymptomatic pre-menopausal women with HIV infection.

TL;DR: The results showed that osteoporosis and sarcopenia were significant problems in young women with HIV, and HIV was associated with greater LM loss, which was critical for bone health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Severity and pattern of bone mineral loss in endocrine causes of osteoporosis as compared to age-related bone mineral loss.

TL;DR: Low bone mass is extremely common in endocrinopathies, warranting routine screening and intervention and Calcium and vitamin D supplementations may improve bone health in this setting.
