Clinical Profile of Long-Term Survivors and Nonsurvivors with Type 1 Diabetes in India.

To compare the clinical profile of long-term survivors and nonsurvivors with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in India. This is a retrospective study of 76 individuals with T1D who had survived for at least 40 years ("survivors") and 51 individuals with T1D who had died with shorter duration of diabetes ("non-survivors"), from diabetes clinics in different cities of India.

MCM3 proliferative index is worthier over Ki-67 in the characterization of salivary gland tumors.

Background: Salivary gland tumors bear uncanny characteristics of being different based on their morphological aspects rather than the presence of clear demarcation. This ambiguity in the spectrum from benign to malignant salivary gland neoplasms while categorizing the neoplasm is having inherent pitfalls. The present study was, therefore, designed to characterize benign and malignant salivary gland tumors based on their proliferative indices.

Enhanced magnetic and room temperature intrinsic magnetodielectric effect in Mn modified BaMgFeO Y-type hexaferrite.

We have reported a systematic investigation on structural, magnetic, magnetodielectric and magnetoimpedance characteristics of Y-type BaMg(Fe Mn )O (0  ⩽  x  ⩽  0.12) hexaferrite synthesized by solid-state reaction route. Rietveld refinement of x-ray diffraction pattern confirms the phase purity of all the samples with rhombohedral crystal structure.
