Role of Artificial Intelligence in Diabetes Mellitus Care: A SWOT Analysis.

Diabetes mellitus has become one of the major public health problems in India. Chronic nature and the rising epidemic of diabetes have adverse consequences on India's economy and health status. Recently, machine learning (ML) methods are becoming popular in the healthcare sector.

Structural and optical studies of fluoride ion binding using N-heteroaromatic ligands.

8-Hydroxyquinoline and imidazole, two important N-heteroaromatic systems, have a strong affinity towards various anions their acidic OH or NH protons. Three receptor ligands, 5-(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)quinolin-8-ol (1), 5-(benzo[]thiazol-2-yl)quinolin-8-ol (2), and 4-(1-benzo[]imidazol-2-yl)benzene-1,3-diol (3), were synthesized, and their fluoride (F) ion binding properties were investigated. These ligands could selectively bind F ions, and their respective F complexes, namely, 1-TBAF, 2-TBAF, and 3-TBAF (TBAF = tetrabutylammonium fluoride), were characterized using single crystal X-ray analysis, NMR, UV-vis, Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis and computational studies.

Prevalence of common mental disorders and perspective toward mental health in an urban resettlement colony of Delhi, India: A mixed-method study.

Background: The paucity of community-based research and misunderstandings surrounding mental illness in low- and middle-income countries impede the provision of proper care in this domain. The objective of this research was to assess the prevalence of common mental disorders in an urban resettlement colony in Delhi, India, explore associated factors, and understand the community's perspective on mental health.

Materials And Methods: A community-based mixed-method study was conducted in which 130 participants were selected through multistage systematic random sampling and 12 key community members by purposive sampling.

Upconversion enhancement and temperature sensing studies in Li ions incorporated GdPO:Tm/Yb phosphor.

The GdPO:Tm/Yb phosphor codoped with various concentrations of Li  ions were synthesized for upconversion emission and optical thermometry studies. Excitation using 980 nm laser diode results in three upconversion (UC) emission bands with centre wavelengths of 478, 648 and 692 nm. These bands are originated from G→H, G→F, and F→H transitions of the Tm ion, respectively.

Efficacy of Dapagliflozin + Sitagliptin + Metformin Versus Sitagliptin + Metformin in T2DM Inadequately Controlled on Metformin Monotherapy: A Multicentric Randomized Trial.

Introduction: A slower adoption rate of fixed dose combinations (FDC) in diabetes management is partly due to insufficient data. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of an FDC of dapagliflozin + sitagliptin + metformin hydrochloride extended release (XR), compared to a dual FDC of sitagliptin + metformin hydrochloride XR among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with poor glycemic control when treated with metformin monotherapy.

Methods: A total of 274 patients with T2DM were randomized (1:1) to either arm X, receiving FDC of dapagliflozin (10 mg) + sitagliptin (100 mg) + metformin hydrochloride XR (1000 mg) (Dapa + Sita + Met) tablets, or arm Y, receiving sitagliptin phosphate (100 mg) + metformin hydrochloride XR (1000 mg) (Sita + Met) tablets, and treated for 16 weeks.
