Prevalence and Predictors of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy in Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients.

Aim: The present study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of DPN in newly diagnosed T2DM patients.

Background: Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is the most common and debilitating complication of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: Newly diagnosed T2DM patients visiting the outpatient department were recruited.

Pituitary Stalk Duplication: A Radiological Surprise in a Child With Short Stature.

Objective: Pituitary stalk abnormalities are one of the causes of hypopituitarism. Isolated pituitary stalk duplication with a single pituitary gland is extremely rare with only a few cases reported to date. The present case has a different clinical picture as compared to the cases that were previously reported in the literature.

Sarcopenia in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Study of the Modifiable Risk Factors Involved.

(1) Background: Sarcopenia has gained much interest in recent years due to an increase in morbidity. Sarcopenia is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and vice versa. There is a paucity of information regarding the prevalence and predictors of sarcopenia among T2DM individuals.

Development and evaluation of earth air heat exchanger cum evaporative cool system as an energy-efficient method for storage of tomatoes.

Background: The lack of adequate on-farm storage facilities is one of the leading causes of enormous postharvest losses of fresh commodities, negatively affecting farmers' livelihoods and the sector's economic contribution. The aim of the current study was to develop and evaluate a solar-powered earth air heat exchanger cum evaporative cooling (EAHE-EC) system as an energy-efficient method for the storage of fresh produce for smallholders.

Results: The postharvest quality parameters of tomatoes stored under ambient storage (AS) and in an EAHE-EC system were assessed at regular time intervals during storage.

Assessment of hypogonadism and its determinants among adult men with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background And Aims: The impact of utilizing both symptoms as well as biochemically confirmed androgen deficiency in diagnosis of hypogonadism among type 2 diabetic men is relatively less studied. Furthermore, various determinants of hypogonadism in these men especially the role of insulin resistance and hypogonadism were studied.

Methods: This is a cross sectional study of 353 T2DM men aged 20-70 years of age.
