However, research lacks insights into the risk factors within the minor ethnic Bishnupriya Manipuri community in Bangladesh.

Data collection involved a questionnaire, verbal agreement, and diagnostic documentation.

Diabetic cases accounted for 39%, with an average age of 57.39±11.99 years, significantly higher than non-diabetic cases (46.79±17.93 years). Diabetic cases also showed significantly higher waist circumference (94.11±6.63 cm versus 84.71±14.76 cm) and body mass index (BMI) (26.12±7.61 kg/m2 versus 21.44±6.97 kg/m2).\u0000Conclusions: T2DM predominantly affects older individuals in the Bishnupriya Manipuri community. Increased waist circumference, overweight, and obesity emerged as significant risk factors for T2DM within this population.","PeriodicalId":14210,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences","volume":"74 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140368577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuals with CIP lack the typical nociceptive responses to harmful stimuli, which poses significant challenges to their safety and well-being. This condition is often caused by genetic mutations affecting the nervous system's ability to transmit pain signals. Despite the apparent advantage of not experiencing pain, CIP presents severe risks as affected individuals may unknowingly sustain injuries or develop medical complications without timely intervention. The absence of pain perception hinders the learning of protective behaviour and responses to potentially harmful situations, making daily activities fraught with danger. Understanding the genetic basis of CIP has provided valuable insights into pain perception and the functioning of nociceptive pathways. While this knowledge may pave the way for potential therapeutic interventions, managing CIP remains a complex task. This article provides an overview of CIPA, its genetic basis, clinical manifestations, complications, treatment and the challenges associated with managing this complex condition. A multidisciplinary approach involving genetic counselling, pain management, and specialized care is crucial to support individuals with CIPA and improve their overall well-being.\u0000 \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":14210,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences","volume":"37 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140366714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early and adequate risk stratification may help both the patients and the treating physicians in taking informed decisions regarding treatment and understanding their outcomes. We aimed to formulate accessible and sensitive methods of risk stratification in Bell’s palsy by utilizing electrophysiological and hematological parameters.\u0000Methods: We prospectively followed up 101 patients with Bell’s palsy over a period of 18 months. Electrophysiological parameters were measured thrice i.e., on the first evaluation and after the first week and first month. The N/L, P/L ratio, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were documented in steroid naïve cases. Patients were graded in severity based on the Sunnybrook and House Brackmann systems.\u0000Results: The mean SB and HB grades at admission were 53.89±24.725 and 3.92±1.04 indicating moderate severity. The mean N/L, P/L ratios and ESR on the first day was 3.46±3.45, 145.42±162.84 and 22.51±21.105 respectively. There was no statistical correlation with severity at any time point. The mean CMAP indices on the 1st day, 1st week and 1st month were 0.585±0.31,0.43±0.26 and 0.45±0.23 respectively. The CMAP index at 1 month was correlating with severity. Blink amplitude ratios were correlating with the HB scores at 1 week and 1 month (p<0.0001 both) and the SB score at 1 month (p<0.0001).\u0000Conclusions: Hematological parameters were not correlated to disease severity. However, electrophysiological parameters are correlated to disease severity at one week and one month.

There are several identified subtypes of GBS, with acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) being the most prevalent. Additionally, there are two \"axonal\" subtypes: acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN) and acute motor sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN), both of which are clinically severe. The clinical trial of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia characterizes a different subtype called Miller Fisher syndrome (MFS) linked to anti-GQ1b antibodies. The patient's medical history, along with neurological, electrophysiological, and cerebrospinal fluid tests, are used to diagnose GBS.

Aldosterone, the primary human mineralocorticoid, is increasingly recognized as playing a key role in cardiovascular morbidity, and its involvement in hypertension has lately been evaluated by studies.

BV is commonly encountered by gynaecologists practicing in India. The opinions of 21 gynaecologists across India regarding diagnosis and management of BV were sought via focussed group discussions. In Indian women, BV is more common in the reproductive age group, perimenopausal women, women with polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD), pregnant women, and in teenagers/pubertal age group. BV is often underestimated as it is not diagnosed by family physicians. The panel of experts opined that they preferred to conduct screening for BV in all high-risk pregnant cases, women with bad obstetric history such as premature abortions and women with a history of tuberculosis. One challenge faced by clinicians in the real-world setting is recurrent infections of BV in their patients. For the treatment of BV, antibiotics can be prescribed along with pre-probiotics to avoid dysbiosis and to prevent recurrence of BV. Pre-probiotics should be administered in sufficient amounts for adequate management of BV. More than 80% of Lactobacilli species should be present in an ideal pre-probiotic to ensure adequate production of acid and bacteriocins for the destruction of unhealthy bacteria and prevention of microfilm formation. The results with the pre-probiotics used will depend on the quality of the formulation and the maintenance of the cold chain.
