Uncovering Congenital Hypothyroidism in Adulthood: A Case Study Emphasizing the Urgency of Screening and Clinical Awareness.

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is an endocrine disorder primarily diagnosed during the neonatal period through routine screening. Screening programs have been established in most developed countries. However, routine neonatal screening is not available in India, and the mainstay for diagnosis is clinical awareness.

Efficacy of a collagen hydrolysate and antioxidants-containing nutraceutical on metrics of skin health in Indian women.

Background: The skin's aging process involves a decreased biosynthesis of extracellular matrix proteins (predominantly collagen) compounded by damage from environmental and intrinsic stressors. The Indian population is susceptible to skin damage given its geography and increasing urbanization or a genetic disposition. Previous studies have investigated nutrients such as collagen peptides, vitamins and phytonutrient-rich botanical extracts for their individual benefits on skin.
