Purpose: To investigate the incidence and management of acute angle-closure glaucoma (ACG) following venomous snakebites, along with its associated systemic complications, and to evaluate the importance of early detection and intervention in preventing long-term visual impairment.
Design: Prospective interventional case series.
Method: This study included patients admitted with venomous snakebites to a tertiary care hospital in rural Tamil Nadu, India, over four years (March 2019 to August 2023).
In India and the Southeast Asian population, hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are the leading lifestyle-related diseases, responsible for a majority burden of morbidity and mortality. Multiple population-spanning studies have revealed the staggering prevalence of both diseases in India, and the prevalence of both will only increase further due to factors such as an aging population, rapid urbanization, increased obesity, and sedentary lifestyles. More than 50 percent of hypertensive patients in India are also diagnosed with T2DM, and a detailed management protocol for the same is required, especially when a major portion of the disease is managed at the primary care level.

The work tackles important RPM concerns such early health issue diagnosis and accurate real-time physiological data collection and analysis using wearable IoT devices. By assessing important health factors like heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, temperature, activity level, weight management, respiration rate, medication adherence, sleep patterns, and oxygen levels, the suggested Remote Patient Monitor Model (RPMM) attains a noteworthy accuracy of 97.

Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is a sex-development disorder resulting from mutations in the androgen receptor. In its complete form, patients are genetically male but phenotypically female, presenting with primary amenorrhea. We report three cases of AIS highlighting the multifaceted role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for presurgical planning by evaluating location and type of gonads and detecting complications.
