Severity of illness (SOI) is defined as the extent of organ system derangement or physiologic decompensation for a patient. It gives a medical classification into minor, moderate, major, and extreme. The SOI class is meant to provide a basis for evaluating hospital resource use or to establish patient care guidelines.

Patients are assigned their SOI based on their specific diagnoses and procedures performed during their medical encounter, which is generally an inpatient hospital stay. Patients with higher SOI (e.g. major or extreme) are more likely to consume greater healthcare resources and stay longer in hospitals than patients with lower SOI in the same DRG.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, also known as CMS, considered the 3M APR-DRG and SOI system as a potential evolution to the DRG system in 2006, but received such negative feedback from the industry that in March 2007 decided to adopt another internally developed system evolved from the DRG . SOI is still commonly used throughout the United States to adjust for patient complexity, so that physicians and other groups can compare resource utilization, complication rates, and length of stay.

Video Transcript:
Patients come to us with flu symptoms and most of them have a panic situation that they have acquired COVID-19 disease. See, COVID-19 generally has a high grade of fever, point number 1

Point number 2, they have sore throat. One more thing is, they present with dry cough

And patients start to have difficulty in breathing
The fever is not subsiding even after three days
And the patient continues to have breathing difficulties
The definitely he has to consult a local physician

In normal flu, fever is generally in milder form
They have simple sore throat which subsides in three days on its own

Fever is a very simple term, but it has so much in it
There are fevers that do not have flu as well
Like, an episode of three to four days of fever
following which there is body pain, joints pain and all that

So in that case it might be a dengue fever or malarial fever
Malarial fevers generally present with fever with chills and all that
which occurs every two days

If a fever is not subsiding for three days then have to generally contact a physician

Fever is generally due to an infectious cause and an non infectious cause
The most common are infectious cause
Infectious fevers again the causes are multiple
Like bacterial infections are more common and viral fevers are more common
There are fungal infections, there will be parasitic infections as well
Like Malaria, Helmentia

Non infectious causes of fever are also plenty
All the cancers like Lymphoma, Leukemia, they present with persistent fevers running for long days
Drugs like Atropine can cause fever
In heat stroke too the patient might have a fever
which is a non infectious cause

So the reasons for fever are plenty
So we have to find out what are the causes of fever
for that you need to consult a physician

You cannot prevent most of the fevers
Few fevers like malaria and dengue, vector borne fevers can be controlled by effectively maintaining the hygiene around the environment

Cover19 disease, in which individual hygiene matters a lot
Maintaining hygiene of your hands, maintaining social distancing
and using masks in crowded places.

If the patient has fever with flu
I request them to just isolate themselves to a single room
And if the patient has any other symptoms aggravating like
high grade of fever is still persistent
or breathing difficulty or something like that is there
for that you need to consult a physician

Introduction
Sometimes, certain people may be deficient in Vitamin B. There are some signs that are
indicative of a deficiency of Vitamin B complex. A simple blood test is done to determine your
serum B complex levels and that will tell you whether you are deficient and if you're deficient
you can take supplementation!

Understanding Vitamin B
Vitamin B Complex is a large group of vitamins – Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12.
They are also called by their individual names Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid,
Pyridoxine, Biotin, Folic Acid and Cobalamin.

Importance of Vitamin B
They are all important for bodily functions. They are the building blocks of the human body and
are critical for the human body function. They are responsible for cellular metabolism,
maintaining mental activities and energy levels. Vitamin B complex helps build up red blood
cells or hemoglobin, enables us to have good vision, maintains good cellular function, and are
responsible for neural and muscular functions. They create and help us to have a good appetite.
They are responsible for heart function. Very importantly, pregnant women need a sufficient
amount of Vitamin B Complex for the fetus to develop well, without defects.

Signs of deficiency
These are skin rashes, cracks around the mouth like dryness and cracking scaly lesions on the
lips, swollen tongue, fatigue, weakness, anaemia, irritability or depression, sometimes mental
confusion, Nausea, diarrhea and abdominal cramps. These are some of the common
symptoms of vitamin B complex deficiency.

People who are prone to Vitamin B deficiency
People who are more at risk of developing vitamin B complex deficiency are those who have
celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, chronic alcohol users and sometimes, people with rheumatoid
arthritis and Crohn's disease and HIV. People with these diseases may not be able to absorb
enough vitamin B complex from the intestine and they suffer from deficiencies.

Sources of Vitamin B
Vitamin B12 is readily available to us in a variety of food forms from milk, cheese, eggs and
meat. It is also available to us in green leafy vegetables like spinach. You can also get it from
cereals like wheat germ. It is readily available in nutritional yeast, nuts and seeds, which have
plenty of vitamin B complex. Also, fruits such as citrus fruits, banana and watermelon contain
good quantities of Vitamin B complex.

Do we need vitamin B complex supplementation?
As we have seen most of us get it from our daily food and we do not need supplementation.
There are certain situations where you might need to supplement particularly those who suffer
from chronic alcoholism. Additionally, pregnant ladies may need extra folic acid so that they can
have healthy babies. Those who eat a purely vegetarian diet can sometimes be nutritionally
deficient and sometimes they may be deficient in Vitamin B.

Why do you get a fever when you're sick? – Christian Moro

health No Comments »

Discover what happens in your body when you have a fever and why its role in our immune response remains a mystery to scientists.

There are many mysteries around fever, but we do know that all mammals, some birds and even a few invertebrate and plant species feel fever’s heat. It has persisted for over 600 million years of evolution. But it has a significant cost: for every degree increase in temperature, there’s a 12.5% increase in energy required. So, why and how does your body produce a fever? Christian Moro investigates.
