Evaluation of circulating plasma miR-9, miR-29a, miR-192, and miR-375 as potential biomarkers for predicting prediabetes and type 2 diabetes in Nepali adult population.

Circulating plasma miRNAs have emerged as potential early predictors of glucometabolic disorders. However, their biomarker potential remains unvalidated in populations with diverse genetic backgrounds, races, and ethnicities. This study aims to validate the biomarker potential of plasma miR-9, miR-29a, miR-192, and miR-375 for early detection of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Nepali populations that represent distinct genetic backgrounds, races, and ethnicities.

Disseminated cysticercosis with tongue involvement: a rare case report from Nepal.

Introduction And Importance: Cysticercosis is a condition in which humans are infected by the larval form of the pork tapeworm . Cysticercosis in humans is common in the cerebral tissue but rare in the tongue.

Case Presentation: Here, the authors report a rare case of a 38-year-old male with neurocysticercosis and cysticercosis of the tongue.
