Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), accounting for more than 50% of all deaths. Highsensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) assay is a sensitive and specific marker of myocardial injury and necrosis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic role of elevated hsTnT levels in identifying ESRD patients with high risks of developing cardiovascular morbidity or mortality. The present study was a crosssectional observational study conducted in 50 patients fulfilling the prespecified inclusion criteria. Patients were evaluated based on the history, clinical findings, lab investigations including hsTnT, two-dimensional echocardiogram, and duration and frequency of hemodialysis (HD). The study cohort showed significant correlation of elevated hsTnT levels with left ventricular hypertrophy (p < 0.05), diabetes mellitus (p < 0.005), duration of HD (p < 0.01), and mortality (p < 0.05). Troponin T is a promising prognostic tool, since elevated levels identify a subset of ESRD patients who have poor survival and higher risk of death. Though sample size was small, this study corroborates previous postulates on this subject. However, being a small sample study, findings could not be subjected to a larger population.

Abstract
Accurate diagnosis of vesiculobullous lesions of skin requires evaluation of clinical, histopathological, and immunofluorescence findings. A clinicopathological study of vesiculobullous lesions of skin was carried out over a period of 2 years in a tertiary hospital, Navi Mumbai, India. Forty-one cases of vesiculobullous disease were reported. Patients were evaluated based on their clinical findings, histopathological, and direct immunofluorescence (DIF) features to arrive at a definitive diagnosis in case of cutaneous vesiculobullous diseases. Biopsies comprised lesional as well as perilesional skin. Majority of the patients (34.15%) were in the age group of 40 to 49 years. Male to female ratio was 1:1.4. All the cases presented with blister. Pemphigus vulgaris (PV) was the most common vesiculobullous disease accounting for 39.02% followed by bullous pemphigoid (BP) in 29.27%. Pemphigus foliaceus (PF) and Hailey-Hailey disease (HDD) constituted 7.32% each. 4.88% cases were of spongiotic dermatitis, while one case each of Pemphigus erythematous (PE), subcorneal pustular dermatoses (SCPD), epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA), lichen planus pemphigoid (LPP), and bullous lichen planus (BLP) accounting for 2.44%. Histopathological features were conclusive in 85.37% cases. Direct immunofluorescence was contributory in 14.63% cases, where histopathology was inconclusive. Histopathology was important for differentiating PV from PF. A good clinicopathological correlation was seen. Thus, correlation of clinical, histopathological, and DIF required for definitive diagnosis of vesiculobullous lesions of the skin. Singh K, Dhar R, Sahu S, Jerajani HR.
