Prevalence and risk factors associated with undiagnosed diabetes in India: Insights from NFHS-5 national survey.

Background: Undiagnosed diabetes is a significant public health concern in India, considering the accumulative burden of diabetes and its long-term complications. We have estimated the prevalence and factors associated with undiagnosed diabetes in India.

Methods: We used data from the fifth round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5, 2019-21) to estimate undiagnosed diabetes prevalence aged under 50 (15-49) years.

Study of EEG microstates in Parkinson's disease: a potential biomarker?

The spontaneous activity of the brain is dynamic even at rest and the deviation from this normal pattern of dynamics can lead to different pathological states. EEG microstate analysis of resting-state neuronal activity in Parkinson's disease (PD) could provide insight into altered brain dynamics of patients exhibiting dementia. Resting-state EEG microstate maps were derived from 128 channel EEG data in 20 PD without dementia (PDND), 18 PD with dementia (PDD) and 20 Healthy controls (CON) using Cartool and sLORETA softwares.

Neighborhood degree sum-based molecular descriptors of fractal and Cayley tree dendrimers.

Topological index is a connection between the chemical structure and the real number that remains invariant under graph isomorphism. In structure-property and structure-activity modeling, topological indices are considered as essential molecular descriptors to predict different physicochemical properties of molecule. Dendrimers are considered to be the most significant, commercially accessible basic components in nanotechnology.

Molecular Descriptors of Some Chemicals that Prevent COVID-19.

Background: Topological index is a numerical molecular descriptor that plays an important role in structure-property/structure-activity modeling. A large number of works on multiplicative degree based indices have been developed. However, no attention is paid to investigating their chemical significance.

Assessing cardiovascular disease risk factor screening inequalities in India using Lot Quality Assurance Sampling.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality in India. India has rolled out Comprehensive Primary Health Care (CPHC) reforms including population based screening for hypertension and diabetes, facilitated by frontline health workers. Our study assessed blood pressure and blood sugar coverage achieved by frontline workers using Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS).

On neighborhood Zagreb index of product graphs.

The properties and activities of chemicals are strongly related to their molecular structures. Topological indices defined on these molecular structures are capable to predict those properties and activities. In this article, a new topological index named as neighborhood Zagreb index ( ) is presented.

Is Dementia in Parkinson' Disease Related to Chronic Stress, Anxiety, and Depression?

Objectives: Stress, anxiety, and depression are known to be associated with the development of neurodegenerative disorders through interactions with the underlying pathophysiology. We hypothesized that the presence of these symptoms contributes to cognitive disturbances and dementia in Parkinson's disease (PD). The present study aimed to investigate the levels of stress, anxiety, and depression in PD patients relative to healthy individuals.

Deactivation of default-mode network and early suppression of decision-making areas during retrieval period by high-arousing emotions improves performance in verbal working memory task.

Emotions affect many aspects of cognition (attention, decision-making, problem solving, conflict resolution, task switching, social cognition, etc.), but the cortical areas or networks through which these effects are achieved are still debatable. In the present study, the effect of emotion on cognition was studied in healthy young individuals (n = 56).

Deficit in specific cognitive domains associated with dementia in Parkinson's disease.

Impairment in different cognitive domains such as executive functions, language, memory and visuospatial skills occur frequently in Parkinson disease (PD) leading to significant disability and deterioration in quality of life. Heterogeneity of cognitive impairment enhances risk of developing dementia as disease progress. The objective is to explore the pattern of cognitive impairment with reference to the affected domains in PD with or without dementia relative to healthy controls.

The F-coindex of some graph operations.

The F-index of a graph is defined as the sum of cubes of the vertex degrees of the graph. In this paper, we introduce a new invariant which is named as F-coindex. Here, we study basic mathematical properties and the behavior of the newly introduced F-coindex under several graph operations such as union, join, Cartesian product, composition, tensor product, strong product, corona product, disjunction, symmetric difference of graphs and hence apply our results to find the F-coindex of different chemically interesting molecular graphs and nano-structures.
