Analysis of the pattern of drug use using WHO core drug indicators among general OPD patients in rural Puducherry.

Background: Prescription auditing is a crucial tool for evaluating a range of concerns, including injectable usage, polypharmacy, the use of generic names, and the quality of treatment given to patients in primary care facilities. The objective of the study was to assess, using WHO core drug use indicators, the drug use patterns of general outpatients (OPD) at a rural healthcare facility.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a rural peripheral health centre in Puducherry for a period of one year from September 2019 to August 2020.

Clinico-Mycological Study of Dermatophytosis among Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients in a Tertiary Level Hospital: A Comparative Study.

Background: Dermatophytosis is a major public health concern in India, especially in recent years, with an alarmingly rising trend, particularly in relation to recurrent and chronic infection. The number of studies examining the relationship between an individual's glycemic status and the development of dermatophytosis, and a comparison of the evolving species trend between diabetic and non-diabetic patients infected with dermatophytes, is limited.

Aims And Objectives: To study and compare the clinical and mycological aspects of dermatophytosis among diabetic and non-diabetic patients and to compare the culture isolates in both groups.

Discovery of miRNA-mRNA regulatory networks in glioblastoma reveals novel insights into tumor microenvironment remodeling.

Adult glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive primary brain tumor, accounting for nearly half of all malignant brain tumors, with a median survival rate of only 8 months. Treatment for GBM is largely ineffective due to the highly invasive nature and complex tumor composition of this malignancy. MicroRNAs (miRNA) are short, non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding to messenger RNAs (mRNA).
