It is the only journal dedicated to Neonatal Surgery- a developing specialty. The journal also provides an opportunity for learning "Medical Writing" for young pediatric and neonatal surgeons. Our editorial team works hard to guide new writers in this field. The journal publishes quality research that will improve outcomes of neonatal surgery, especially in resource-constrained settings. Our main aim is to reduce morbidity and mortality of neonatal surgery by publishing the latest trends in this discipline, in a special context to developing countries. We invite pediatric and neonatal surgeons for their quality contributions to the Journal of Neonatal Surgery and for helping us achieve these goals.</span></p> El-Med-Pub en-US Journal of Neonatal Surgery 2226-0439 <h3>You are free to:</h3> <ul class="license-properties"> <li class="license share"><strong>Share</strong> — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format</li> <li class="license remix"><strong>Adapt</strong> — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Terms:</strong></p> <ul> <li><strong>Attribution</strong> — You must give <a id="appropriate_credit_popup" class="helpLink" tabindex="0" title="" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" data-original-title="">appropriate credit</a>, provide a link to the license, and <a id="indicate_changes_popup" class="helpLink" tabindex="0" title="" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" data-original-title="">indicate if changes were made</a>.

Currently, nearly half of the world’s population is at risk. The dengue virus (DENV), mainly transmitted by <em>Aedes</em> mosquitoes, especially <em>Aedes aegypti</em>, can cause symptoms ranging from mild flu-like illness to severe conditions such as dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS), both of which can be fatal if not treated appropriately.</p> <p><strong>Objective: </strong>This study was conducted to analyse the clinical and laboratory profiles of adult patients who tested positive for Dengue IgM antibodies and were admitted to the Dhiraj Hospital, Vadodara.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>A prospective observational study was conducted on 150 adult patients who tested positive for IgM Dengue Antibodies and were admitted to the hospital. Each patient was clinically evaluated and underwent relevant laboratory investigations. They were monitored daily until discharge.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>In this study, the male to female ratio was 1.62:1. The most common symptom was headache, reported in 125 (78.12%) patients. Bleeding manifestations were observed in 30 (18.75%) patients, with melena being the most frequent, occurring in 13 (43.33%) cases. Skin rash, primarily maculopapular and diffuse flushing, was noted in 44 (27.5%) patients. The tourniquet test was positive in 25 (15.62%) patients. Isolated hepatomegaly and splenomegaly were found in 20 (12.5%) and 22 (13.75%) patients, respectively. Ascites and pleural effusion were observed in 20 (12.5%) and 15 (9.37%) patients, respectively. Dengue with DHF/DSS was present in 21 (13.12%) cases. Complications occurred in 25 (15.62%) patients, with the most common being hepatic dysfunction in 15 (9.37%), followed by hypotension in 10 (6.25%) and renal failure in 8 (5%). A hematocrit level &gt;45% was found in 35 (23.33%) patients, and leukopenia (&lt;4000/cumm) was observed in 58 (38.66%) patients. Thrombocytopenia was noted in all patients, with severe cases (&lt;20,000/cumm) observed in some. Elevated serum bilirubin (&gt; 2mg%) was seen in 17 (11.33%) patients.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The younger age group typically presented with classical dengue fever and responded well to conservative treatment, likely due to the early confirmation of the diagnosis and the prompt initiation of therapy.</p> Kuntal Devesh Patel Sunidhi Chauhan Mihirkumar J.

This research sought to evaluate the impact of telemedicine on physiotherapy services by focusing on distance care delivery and to determine the difficulties observed by telemedicine utilizing healthcare professions and patients in physiotherapy. The study also explored the role of technology and training in enhancement of telemedicine based physiotherapy and prospects for telemedicine in future to enhance patient care. Some of the conclusions that were made include; telemedicine increases access to physiotherapy, improves patient participation and provides discretion. Nonetheless, there were some disadvantages which include; poor internet connection and quality; technology; opposition from the professionals; and data protection issues. The study also went further and pointed that, with technological enhancements coupled with artificial intelligence, real time data analysis and integration of healthcare givers and practitioners, telemedicine in physiotherapy could be enhanced. The results of the study imply that overcoming the currently standing technological and training challenges coupled with the integration of latest technologies can unlock telemedicine’s full potential in physiotherapy.</p> Ahmed.
