Introduction: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a rare group of disorders characterised by impaired functions or development of pancreatic islets and monogenic diabetes at a young age. Diagnosing MODY can be rewarding for both clinicians and patients as it can change the management from generic to targeted therapy.
Methods: This study reports the retrospective analysis of data collected from four clinics between March 2016 and February 2023 from Lucknow, a city in northern India.
This catalogue lists 286 valid species included in 49 genera and six families of the superfamily Hydrophiloidea (Coleoptera), recorded from India. The family Helophoridae accommodates eight species (one genus), Epimetopidae five species (one genus), Georissidae seven species (one genus), Hydrochidae four species (one genus), Spercheidae two species (one genus), and Hydrophilidae 260 species (44 genera). Of these, 113 species are apparently endemic to India.

- The genus Rhodostrophia and its close relative Tanaotrichia are reviewed based on specimens from the North Western and Trans Himalayan regions of India and Pakistan.
- Eight species were studied, including seven Rhodostrophia species and one Tanaotrichia, focusing on their morphological and genital characteristics.
- Rhodostrophia borealis was classified as a distinct species, and detailed illustrations, including type specimens and genetic data, were provided along with a checklist of species and their distribution.
Article Synopsis
- EEG is crucial for diagnosing and managing neurologic issues like seizures and brain injuries in veterans, prompting a study on the infrastructure of EEG services within the Veterans Administration (VA).
- A survey sent to 123 VA hospitals revealed that while most had EEG services, only a minority offered continuous EEG, and many facilities reported a lack of adequate resources such as EEG technologists and machines.
- The study indicates significant variability in EEG infrastructure and highlights that expanding tele-EEG services could improve access and patient management in resource-limited environments.
