Evaluating LDL-C control in Indian acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients- A retrospective real-world study LDL-C control in ACS.

Background: Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) progression. Although lipid lowering therapies remain the cornerstone of secondary ACSVD prevention, there exists residual dyslipidemia. The current study aimed to evaluate the real-world experience related to the treatment patterns and LDL-C control in Indian Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) patients.

SGLT2-inhibition and Vascular Euphoria a Reconciliation of Vascular Health and Disease Homeostasis.

The concept of SGLT2-inhibition, once regarded as a non-physiological approach to glycemia control, now finds a foundational relevance in risk-modification for cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic outcomes, spanning beyond type-2 diabetes. Major studies have proven meaningful improvements in various clinical outcomes, with different SGLT2-i agents. Apart from glycosuria, SGLT2-inhibition is associated with several patho-physiological effects, which may contribute to the clinical benefits seen with these agents.

Basic and Clinical Pharmaco-Therapeutics of SGLT2 Inhibitors: A Contemporary Update.

Clinical relevance of sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors has been rapidly evolving across several therapy areas, apart from type 2 diabetes mellitus. While some of these developments are based on recognized scientific explanations, unexpected study findings have also shaped much of our present understanding. As the role of these agents evolves in various facets of cardiology, nephrology, hepatology and endocrinology, their optimum clinical value propositions should be realized in line with the principles of personalized medicine.

Effectiveness of flipped classroom as a teaching-learning method among undergraduate medical students - An interventional study.

Background: Attempts to put the available teaching-learning time to better use and address the needs of students by increasing active involvement led to the evolution of the flipped classroom (FC). It involves providing study resources for students to use outside the class so that class time is freed up for instructional activities. This study was done to assess the effectiveness of flipped classroom activity as a teaching-learning method.
