Data were collected through interview and review of medical records. Newly diagnosed 100 treatment naive cases of Essential Hypertension attending medical OPD and admitted in medical wards was included in the study. Patients diagnosed as hypertensive by physician were enrolled in the study. For each case one control was selected. History of co-morbid illness, prolonged co-morbidity, and history of hypertension was evaluated. All subjects had 5 mL of blood drawn into serum tubes after an overnight fast. After letting the blood clot for 15 minutes at 3000 RPM, the serum was centrifuged out. C-reactive protein levels in the blood were checked right away. CRP levels were evaluated using Immunoturbidimetry. The data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics.</p> <p>Results: The mean CRP in Cases was more (5.38 ± 1.62) as compared to Controls (1.13 ± 0.48) found statistically significant. (By Un-paired T test; p&gt;0.05). The above table shows association of type (NYHA) of hypertension and CRP among cases. The mean CRP in Stage II was more (6.13 ± 1.28) as compared to Stage I (5.19 ± 1.78) shows statistically significant.</p> <p>Conclusion: This study confirmed the function of CRP and established its significance as a marker for early detection and prevention of myocardial infarction in hypertensive patients.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> Ruchi Khare Shreya Nigoskar Copyright (c) 2023 Ruchi Khare, Shreya Nigoskar https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2023-06-12 2023-06-12 9 1 BC1 BC3 Bilateral Nevus of Ota with Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis treated with 1064 nm picosecond laser: A case report https://iabcr.org/index.php/iabcr/article/view/825 <p>Nevus of Ota is an uncommon dermal melanosis in the Indian subcontinent and is rarely associated with capillary malformations, classified as type II phakomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV). It usually presents unilaterally as mottled, slate blue, or dark brown macules; bilateral presentation is only seen in a few cases. A 20-year female presented to Dermatology OPD of a tertiary hospital with bilateral nevus of Ota involving the cheeks, temples, nose, forehead, and sclera of the eyes for one year. She also had a port wine stain on the right arm, forearm, back, bittock, and thigh since birth without any other systemic involvement. We treated nevus of Ota with six sessions of 1064 nm picosecond laser every month at 0.8 J/cm<sup>2</sup> with significant improvement in the appearance of the lesions and no adverse effects. This case highlights the importance of thoroughly examining pigmented lesions for additional cutaneous findings and the potential use of a 1064 nm picosecond laser to treat such lesions.</p> Neha Mehta Vikas Malgotra Md Raihan Vikrant Choubey Sohini Saha Copyright (c) 2023 Vikas Malgotra, Md Raihan https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2023-07-09 2023-07-09 9 1 CR1 CR3
