Primary Sjögren's Syndrome Presenting as Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Rare Case.

Sjogren's syndrome is a late-onset, slowly progressing autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of the exocrine glands by lymphocytic infiltration, resulting in dry mouth (xerostomia) and dry eyes (keratoconjunctivitis sicca). Sjögren's syndrome may be associated with various autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic sclerosis. We report a case of a 34-year-old female who delivered a live baby 20 days ago.

Fibrinogen Levels in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and it's Correlation with Microvascular Microvascular Complications.

Unlabelled: Diabetes mellitus comprises a group of common metabolic disorders that share the phenotype of hyperglycemia the potential role of hemostatic factors, particularly fibrinogen, in atherosclerosis and its complications has generated considerable attention. Fibrinogen, itself is determined by several modifiable and non-modifiable determinants like age, sex, smoking, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, alcoholism, glycemic control, lipid profile and urine albumin excretion rate. The present study is undertaken to know the levels of fibrinogen in type 2 diabetes mellitus and its relation with microvascular complications.

Accuracy of glycated haemoglobin in screening for pre-diabetes in Asian Indians--a community survey: the Chandigarh Urban Diabetes Study (CUDS).

Aim: To compare American Diabetes Association and International Expert Committee recommended cut-off values of HbA(1c) for detecting the presence of pre-diabetes against plasma glucose values obtained from oral glucose tolerance tests in Asian Indians.

Methods: A cross-sectional randomly sampled population survey involving 2368 adults, aged ≥ 20 years. HbA(1c) was measured on a Bio-Rad 10 system in 1972 subjects.
