Effect of Overt Diabetes and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus on Pregnancy Outcomes and Progression.

Background/purpose: To study the clinical characteristics, outcomes, and the incidence of postpartum diabetes in women with overt diabetes and GDM.

Methods: This prospective cohort observational study was done on women with GDM diagnosed after the first trimester, attending the tertiary care hospitals for 2.3 years.

Clinical Characteristics, Outcomes, and Progression to Type 2 Diabetes in Women with Hyperglycemia in Pregnancy.

Context: Women with hyperglycemia in pregnancy (HIP) are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Aim: The present study intended to study the incidence of postpartum diabetes among HIP women and predict its risk factors.

Settings And Design: This was a prospective observational study done on 178 women with HIP diagnosed after the first trimester, attending the tertiary care hospitals between December 2018 and March 2020.

Maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with recurrent gestational diabetes mellitus.

Background And Aims: The aim of the study was to evaluate the maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with recurrent gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), compared to women with GDM.

Methods: This prospective observational cohort study was done on multiparous women with GDM attending the two tertiary care hospitals. Subjects were divided into two groups, recurrent GDM and GDM.

A Prospective study of Emphysematous Pyelonephritis in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Introduction: Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a necrotizing infection of the renal parenchyma. There is a lack of studies on follow up of EPN patients. The study aimed to explore the effect of EPN in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) on glycemic and renal parameters on follow up, and factors suggesting the failure of medical treatment.

Comparative study of emphysematous pyelonephritis and pyelonephritis in type 2 diabetes: a single-centre experience.

Purpose: Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have severe complications and high morbidity with poor prognosis as compared to Pyelonephritis. The aim was to study clinical features, microbiological profile, complications of EPN and pyelonephritis in T2D patients.

Methods: This was a hospital-based prospective study done on 200 T2D patients with upper UTI.

Factors associated with severity of orbitopathy in patients with Graves' disease.

Purpose: Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is one of the most frequent orbital disorders and is the most common cause of proptosis in adults. GO is described as chronic inflammation of orbital and periorbital tissues. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors for severe GO in patients with Graves' disease (GD).

Role of N-acetylcysteine treatment in non-acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure: A prospective study.

Background/aims: Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare but severe medical emergency. To date, there is no established treatment for non-acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure (NAI-ALF) other than liver transplantation, and little is known about the use of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in NAI-ALF. A randomized case control study was conducted with the aim to determine the effect of NAC on the mortality of NAI-ALF patients, as well as to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NAC use.
