Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) regulates sex hormone availability and is influenced by metabolic factors. Variations in SHBG levels during pregnancy may affect the development of hypertensive disorders such as gestational hypertension (GH) and preeclampsia (PE). This systematic review and meta-analysis explores the potential of SHBG as a biomarker for predicting GH and PE.

This study aims to analyze asthma trends from 1990 to 2021, focusing on prevalence, incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) across South Asia. The study also assesses the impact of risk factors like high body mass index (BMI), smoking, and occupational exposures on asthma outcomes.

This study aimed to analyse historical trends of T2DM across South Asia from 1990 to 2021 and forecast incidence through 2031.
Research Design And Methods: We carried out analysis based on the data from the 2021 Global burden of disease study.
Article Synopsis
- In Indian states, many public health programs are led by clinicians lacking formal leadership training, prompting Uttar Pradesh to launch a Public Health Management and Leadership program for mid-career medical officers to enhance their administrative skills.
- The training included essential skills such as leadership, communication, and problem-solving through in-person sessions and hands-on projects, with participant feedback measured via Kirkpatrick's model and statistical analyses showing notable but moderate improvements in learning outcomes.
- Despite high satisfaction with the program, participants struggled to apply management concepts due to contextual limitations and barriers like resource constraints and gender stereotypes, suggesting a need for additional training in finance and human resources.
Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare benign proliferative disorder. Lymph nodes are the usual and common sites of involvement. Involvement of the extranodal site is also documented in the literature.
