Article Synopsis
- * A review of current literature investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance the screening, diagnosis, and treatment of dyslipidemia in the pediatric population, showing positive findings in lipid profile analysis and obesity evaluations.
- * Despite most existing studies focused on adults, the successful application of AI in improving diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficacy suggests it may be beneficial for managing dyslipidemia in children as well.
Article Synopsis
- Menstrual blood, often seen as waste, contains valuable health information through its components like endometrial cells and immune cells that can help diagnose various conditions such as hormonal imbalances and cervical cancer.
- This review explores the potential for using menstrual blood as a non-invasive diagnostic tool, highlighting its composition and recent advancements in medical research.
- It also addresses challenges in menstrual blood testing, such as ethical issues, lack of standardized collection methods, extensive validation needs, and societal stigma, which must be overcome to enhance personalized healthcare for menstruating individuals.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of intravenous ibuprofen versus acetaminophen as pain relief options for children aged 5-12 undergoing day-care tonsillectomy with general anesthesia.
- Conducted at a military hospital in Pakistan, 100 pediatric patients were divided into two groups to receive either intravenous ibuprofen or acetaminophen post-anesthesia induction, with pain levels measured upon recovery and discharge.
- Results showed that ibuprofen significantly reduced pain at discharge compared to acetaminophen, indicating it is a more effective pain management option for these patients.
Cardiac myxomas can rarely involve the right atrium, get calcified and involve the inferior vena cava (IVC). Early surgical intervention is critical to prevent life-threatening complications. We presented the case of a 39-year-old male with fever, cough and shortness of breath for 1 week.

Methods: The literature was reviewed using key words "antimicrobial releasing periodontal scaffolds" on Science Direct, PubMed and Web of Science search engines. Shortlisted articles were evaluated on the basis of specific inclusion-exclusion criteria.
Background: Educational environment not only has an impact on the students during the academic years but has its reflections throughout their medical career. The Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) is an internationally accepted useful tool to analyse undergraduate educational environments in the health professionals. The purpose of this study was to assess how students, across all the five years in a private medical college, perceive their educational environment.
