Evaluation of usefulness of serum insulin as sensitive predictor of cardiovascular dysfunction in obese individuals with normal lipid profile.

Background: Prevalence of obesity and its subsequent cardiometabolic complications is on exponential rise. Hyperinsulinemia develops in obese individuals long before other metabolic derangements of obesity take place and may be a common pathophysiological factor tying together various components of cardiometabolic dysfunction.

Aim: Present study was aimed at evaluating the role of insulin as a sensitive and independent cardiovascular risk marker in apparently healthy overweight and obese individuals with normal lipid profile.

Evaluation of HS-CRP and Lipid Profile in COPD.

Introduction: COPD is a major public health problem. More than 50 % of the patients of COPD die because of some cardiovascular event. Traditionally, the risk of CVD is assessed by the presence of dyslipidaemia.

Lipid profile in breast cancer patients from rural India.

Breast cancer is the second commonest malignancy affecting half a million women worldwide each year. Dyslipidaemia can affect cell integrity in patients of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to find out status of lipid profile in patients of breast cancer in rural area.

High sensitive C-reactive protein as a systemic inflammatory marker and LDH-3 isoenzyme in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Background And Objectives: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory disease, mainly due to tobacco smoke. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are mandatory to diagnose COPD which shows irreversible airway obstruction. This study was aimed at understanding the behavior of biochemical parameters such as high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes in COPD.

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein: a novel cardiovascular risk predictor in type 2 diabetics with normal lipid profile.

Background: India is the diabetic capital of the world. Coronary heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among diabetics. Type 2 diabetes mellitus and atherosclerosis are complex diseases sharing common antecedents like inflammation.
