Article Synopsis
- * This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated randomized control trials using fenugreek in type 2 diabetes patients, focusing on fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, and postprandial glucose levels.
- * Results showed that fenugreek significantly lowered fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, and postprandial glucose in diabetic patients when taken at a dose of 2-5 mg in powder form.
Objective: This systematic review aimed at estimating the prevalence of post-acute COVID-19 symptoms in view of published literature that studied prolonged clinical manifestations after recovery from acute COVID-19 infection.
Methods: Relevant databases were searched for extraction of articles. For data synthesis, based on the distribution of quantitative variables, they were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or median and interquartile range (IQR).
Introduction: Pancreatic pseudocysts remain a feared complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis and are often characterized by collections of fluids due to underlying damage to the pancreatic ducts, culminating in a walled-off region bereft of an epithelial layer but surrounded by granulation tissue. While fungal infections of pancreatic pseudocysts are rarely encountered, candida albicans remains the most frequently implicated organism.
Case Presentation: A 55-year-old male presented with pain in the left-hypochondriac region, accompanied by non-bilious emesis and nausea.
Introduction: Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is a rare autoimmune condition characterized by Scleroderma, Polymyositis, and Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE). Though a possible relationship between COVID-19 and autoimmune diseases has been recently reported, its pathophysiological mechanism behind flares in Lupus Nephritis (LN), a complication of SLE, remains unknown.
Case Presentation: A 22-year-old COVID-19 positive female presented with anemia, bilateral pitting edema, periorbital swelling, and posterior cervical lymphadenitis.
