DECISION MAKING IN PATIENTS WITH CARDIAC ELECTRICAL DISEASE
Decision making is critical to the management of cardiac electrical disease. A good decision is shared with the patient. We found that where shared decisions were made well patients were more likely to choose less invasive treatment.

NEUROCYSTICERCOSIS IN CENTRAL INDIA: CLINICAL PROFILE AND TREATMENT OUTCOMES
Neurocysticercosis is a parasitic disease of central nervous system, more commonly affecting young persons, in their third decade and being equally common among vegetarians. Most commonly, it presents with seizures. In Indian patients, single small enhancing lesion is the most common presentation. Clinical and radiological response to 4-week therapy with albendazole is quite satisfactory. All cases of young-onset epilepsy in tropical countries should be investigated for neurocysticercosis.

However, there are risks with the use of such technology in the clinical environment, specifically bacterial phone surface contamination, noise, confidentiality and health and safety concerns. There is an association between patient MRSA nasal colonisation and mobile phone colonisation.

RISK FACTORS FOR CARDIAC AND RENAL DISEASE IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS WITH OVERWEIGHT OR OBESITY
Along with BP and BMI, albuminuria measured in a morning urine sample asACRis a valuable low-cost index of cardiac organ damage and increased cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients independently by MetS. On the other hand, MetS is not an independent risk factor for cardiac damage because it does not seem to add anything more than the sum of each of its components (especially SBP and adiposity indexed by BMI) to the relationship between cardiac and renal subclinical organ damage.
