Abstract: Pregnancy has a significant impact on thyroid physiology and thyroid disorders are among the most prevalent endocrine disorders. There are significant regional differences in the prevalence of thyroid problems during pregnancy. According to literature, the prevalence of hypothyroidism during pregnancy is 2.5%, while that of hyperthyroidism during pregnancy ranges from 0.1% to 0.4%(8). The two primary clinical types of hypothyroidism. Overt hypothyroidism is defined by an elevated serum TSH and subnormal free thyroxine (FT4), while subclinical hypothyroidism is characterised by an elevated serum TSH and normal free thyroxine (FT4). Cases of subclinical hypothyroidism,.............

Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global health issue that places a heavy financial burden on poor nations like India. The Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative lists five phases of CKD, with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) as the final stage. ESRD is defined by a progressive, irreversible decline in renal function and a failure of the body to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, leading to uremia. The main cause of bleeding and thrombotic problems in CKD is an unbalanced ratio of pro- and anti-hemostatic factors, which results in significant morbidity and death. Dialysis continues to be one of the most popular forms of RRT in the globe because of the high expense and.............

Abstract: Lipoma are benign tumor composed of adipose tissue. They may be localized and almost all part of body. Rarely lipomas can grow to acquire gigantic proportions, turning into an entity termed as giant lipoma. Some of these giant lipomas may transform malignant. Giant lipoma cause problem in daily living and detoriate quality of life. Mass localization also restrict body functions.

Abstract: Background: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia or jaundice is a common medical comorbidity. It is one of the common causes of hospitalization during 1st two weeks of life. Untreated hyperbilirubinemia can lead to encephalopathy, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and kernicterus. Treatment for this condition varies from just exposing the neonate to sunlight to phototherapy. But phototherapy can cause various electrolyte and plasma glucose variations. Hence the current study was undertaken to evaluate the impact of phototherapy on neonates. Materials and Methods: In this observational study, 100 neonates (aged below 28 days), who were scheduled for receiving phototherapy...........

Abstract: Background: Intravitreal injection of anti-Vascular endothelial growth factors constitutes the mainstay for the treatment of various retinal diseases.Although the procedure is done after giving topical anesthesia, patient still can experience ocular pain. Usually, more than one injection is required in most patients, and it may cause anxiety and discomfort. Nepafenac ophthalmic suspension is a topical ocular nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Nepafenac is unique, in that its bioconversion to amfenac is targeted to the iris/ciliary body and, to an even greater extent, the retina........

Abstract: Hemophagocyticlymphohistiocytosis(HLH) syndrome is an aggressive and life-threatening syndrome of excessive but ineffective immune activation. It most frequently affects infants from birth to 18months of age, but the disease is also observed in children and adults of all ages. HLH can occur as a familial or sporadic disorder, and it can be triggered by a variety of events that disrupts immune homeostasis. Infection is a common trigger both in those with a genetic predisposition and in sporadic cases. Though EBV is the most common viral infection known to cause HLH, dengue-induced HLH is being largely reported. Treatment options are limited for HLH syndrome............
