Effect of nutrient-rich quinoa fraction composite wheat flour on product development.

To study the characteristics of bread by incorporating nutrient-rich quinoa flour as a new source for product development. Wheat flour was replaced by fractionated quinoa flour in different variations from 0%QF to 20%QF: 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% WQF blends, respectively. Physicochemical studies resulted in higher protein and fiber content for the higher blend.

To Assess Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Patients with Clinical and Subclinical Hypothyroidism.

Introduction: NAFLD is emerging as one of the leading causes of end stage liver disease worldwide. Metabolic syndrome is one of the central mechanism in the development of NAFLD. Hypothyroidism is one of the conditions associated with metabolic syndrome.

Clinical Radiological and Biochemical Profile of Moderate to Severe Covid-19 Pregnant Females and its Correlation with Clinical Outcome.

Unlabelled: Since December 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 has been recognized as the causal factor in a series of severe cases of pneumonia originating in Wuhan, China which has been named Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by WHO. The physiological and mechanical changes associated with pregnancy increase maternal susceptibility to infections in general and is a state of relative immunosuppression.

Material: 49 pregnant COVID-19 moderate to severe Pneumonia patients classified as per MHFW, GOI were taken into the study for a period of 3 months at Bowring & Lady Curzon Hospital.

Association of Serum Iron Studies in COVID Associated Mucormycosis with Stage of the Disease.

Unlabelled: Mucormycosis (Zygomycosis) is a rare and lethal invasive fungal infection, often acute and extremely severe caused by opportunist and ubiquitous fungi belonging to the class Phygomycetes, subclass Zygomycetes, order Mucorales, family Mucoraceae. India has reported surge in cases of post COVID 19 Mucormycosis over the past few months due to the increasing frequency of risk factors like corticosteroid therapy, uncontrolled diabetes, DKA, neutropenia and iron overload. Patients with a history of COVID-19 infection are at increased risk of developing fungal infections like Mucormycosis.

To Screen for Obstructive Sleep Apnoea in Type 2 Diabetes and its Correlation with Hscrp Levels and Microvascular Complications.

The prevalence of OSA is estimated to be 2-4% in the general population but high among diabetics. Since intermittent hypoxia has shown to exert adverse effects on glucose metabolism, OSA increases the risk of developing T2DM and contributes to poor glycemic control. Studies show that people with diabetes with severe OSA had higher HbA1c levels compared to non-apneic people.

Inhibiting the progression of arterial calcification with vitamin K in HemoDialysis patients (iPACK-HD) trial: rationale and study design for a randomized trial of vitamin K in patients with end stage kidney disease.

Background: Cardiovascular disease, which is due in part to progressive vascular calcification, is the leading cause of death among patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) on dialysis. A role for vitamin K in the prevention of vascular calcification is plausible based on the presence of vitamin K dependent proteins in vascular tissue, including matrix gla protein (MGP). Evidence from animal models and observational studies support a role for vitamin K in the prevention of vascular calcification.
