Abstract: India is known as the diabetic capital of the world. One of the common complications of diabetes is foot ulcer. It can be prevented by proper glycemic control. Many tribal populations in India are devoid of basic medical facility. So, good glycemic control in these population is a distant reality. This study aims to analyze the prevalence of foot ulcers among tribals with diabetes

Abstract: Aim: The purpose of this prospective study was to analyze the reasons for apicectomy and to evaluate the treatment outcomes of the apicectomized teeth in patients attending the dental clinics in University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku Ozalla and a private practice (Dentslyn Dental clinic) in Enugu State. Material and Method: Fifty patients who presented to the clinics within the study period, requiring apicectomy were recruited, having met the inclusion criteria. The teeth were treated surgically. The participants were followed up for one year. The outcome of treatment was assessed both radiographically and clinically. Results: Patients were aged 17-65 years, with half (50.0%) of the participants significantly within the 20-29 years age group (p=0.001). More than half (52.0%) were females. Sixty percentage (n=30) of the participants were of the middle socioeconomic class (p= 0.001) and half of the participants were civil servants (0.001). Majority of the.....

Abstract: INTRODUCTION- COVID-19 Pandemic knocked the doors of our country India, in early 2020. Since then, our doors have been shut and our house is also our school. Adding to the already existing sedentary lifestyle, online classes have taken a toll on children's physical and mental health. There is a need for a rigorous awareness program among the youth in preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND METHODS- This is an IDRS questionnaire based study circulated among 120 school going adolescent population in Chennai.

Abstract: Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with a state of decreased insulin sensitivity along with increased body mass index. It has been studied that serum adiponectin produced by human placenta and adipose tissue has profound insulin sensitizing properties along with anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic effects. A decreased level of serum adiponectin is an independent risk factor for future development of diabetes. Conversely, increased level of serum adiponectin reduces the chances of Type 2 DM. Aims & Objectives: To study the association of serum adiponectin levels with GDM.........

Abstract: For labour induction, artificial rupture of the membranes sometimes called surgical induction- can be used and always implies a commitment to delivery. Elective amniotomy with the intention of accelerating labour is often performed and amniotomy performed at 5 cm dilatation accelerated spontaneous labour by 1 to 1 ½ hours. Amniotomy is a commonly performed intervention thought to accelerate the labor course through the increase in the release of prostaglandins and oxytocin.[5,6] Amniotomy or artificial rupture of membranes is usually implemented to induce and support the delivery process, internal electronic fetal heart monitoring, intrauterine recording of contractions, meconium detection, and uterine dysfunction. On the......

Abstract: Background: Suicide is a matter of global concern. Suicide is the result of complex interaction among biological, psychological and socio-environmental factors. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a chronic disease that causes significant distress and often marked impairment. Hence, there is fair chance that patients of obsessive-compulsive disorder may experience suicidal thoughts and may even involve in suicidal acts. There is sparsity of data in this context. We conducted this study to assess suicidal behavior in patients of obsessive-compulsive disorder......

Abstract: Pleural effusions are relatively rare during the course of multiple myeloma and most often occur with non-specific disorders of the disease. We report an observation of myelomatous pleural effusion; the diagnostic was ascertained by the pleural biopsy.the evolution is marked by the rapid deterioration of general condition .Occurrence in the course of multiple myeloma of pleural effusions due to infiltration of the pleura by plasma cells reflects aggressive disease and indicates a poor prognosis.
