Aims: Islet antibody-negative type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has not been well characterised. We determined the frequency of antibody-negative T1DM and compared it with antibody-positive T1DM in a cohort of north Indian children.
Methods: In a multi-centre, prospective, observational study, 176 Indian children (age 1-18 years) were assessed within 2 weeks of diagnosis of T1DM.
Unlabelled: To compare the difference between primary homoeopathic and conventional paediatric care in treating acute illnesses in children in their first 24 months of life. One hundred eight Indian singleton newborns delivered at 37 to 42 weeks gestation were randomised at birth (1:1) to receive either homoeopathic or conventional primary care for any acute illness over the study period. In the homoeopathic group, conventional medical treatment was added when medically indicated.

Article Synopsis
- Pigment-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs when harmful pigments from myoglobin or hemoglobin cause damage to the kidneys, often linked to conditions like rhabdomyolysis or hemolysis.
- The study reports eight cases of pigment-induced AKI, primarily from myoglobin and hemoglobin casts, triggered by factors such as intense exercise, infections, or certain medications.
- While most patients required dialysis initially, their short-term kidney recovery was positive, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring to check for potential long-term effects.
