Role of Vitamin D in Asthma Control: A Cross-Sectional Study of the Indian Adult Population.

Background Bronchial asthma is a major health problem both globally and in developing countries like India. This heterogenous disease is characterised by chronic airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness to various extrinsic and intrinsic stimuli. The innate and adaptive immune mechanisms play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma.

Electrodiagnostic evaluation in diabetes mellitus: A study based on case series in 72 diabetic patients.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common complications of diabetes; so, a nerve conduction study (NCS) is conducted to detect the type of neuropathy that is present. To discuss the NCS findings in diabetic patients. An observational study was conducted in the Physiology Department of AIIMS, Bhopal, in collaboration with the Medicine Department of the Institute.

Clinical Risk Assessment and Comparison of Bias between Laboratory Methods for Estimation of HbA1c for Glycated Hemoglobin in Hyperglycemic Patients.

Introduction: Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), also known as glycated hemoglobin, is a blood test used to evaluate and track a patient's blood sugar levels over the previous 2-3 months. We have compared the analytical performance of the D10 hemoglobin (HPLC) testing system to that of the immunoturbidimetric technique, which is a light-scattering immunoassay.

Objectives: To assess the clinical risk assessment between two methods (Compare the two Immunoturbidometric methods (AU680) vs.

Multi-level Analysis of HbA1c in Diagnosis and Prognosis of Diabetic Patients.

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D), a multifaceted metabolic disorder, may cause health tribulations and changes in biochemical blood markers. Other research has examined the relationships between several biomarkers and the risk of T2D. Few studies have examined the relationships between these biomarkers and potential changes to the network of biomarkers associated with diabetes.

Heart Rate Variability among Healthy Untrained Adults during Mild Intensity Stationary Cycling Exercise.

Background: Stationary cycling is the popular, preferred, and convenient form of exercise. During exercise, autonomic modulation is seen which can be assessed by heart rate variability (HRV). The aim of the study was to evaluate the changes in HRV during mild-intensity cycling exercise.

Effectiveness of Semmes Weinstein 10 gm monofilament in diabetic peripheral neuropathy taking nerve conduction and autonomic function study as reference tests.

Context: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) if detected early can reduce the burden on the health system and prevent the development of diabetic foot ulcers and amputation.

Aim: To study the effectiveness of Semmes Weinstein 10 gm monofilament in detecting DPN taking nerve conduction studies (NCS) and autonomic function testing (AFT) as reference tests.

Settings And Design: Observational and comparative cross-sectional study conducted in the Physiology department AIIMS, Bhopal in collaboration with the Medicine department of the institute.

Comparative change in P300 indices following antidepressant treatment in patients with major depressive disorder.

Context: Cognitive disturbance is seen in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Event-related potential can assist in measuring the neurocognition, and P300 is the most commonly used noninvasive electrophysiological parameter for measuring cognition.

Aims: The aim of this study is to assess the baseline P300 parameters, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D), and Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores and compare them with their levels after 3 months of antidepressant therapy.

Perception of e-learning in medical students and faculty during COVID time: A study based on a questionnaire-based survey.

Background: With the emergence of COVID, we are forced to use e-learning in form of arranging online classes for students. Medical educators all over the world are conducting online classes for students. This study aimed to evaluate the perception of online learning among MBBS students and teachers through a questionnaire-based survey.

Marinacci Anastomosis: A Case Report.

Marinacci anastomosis or the reverse Martin-Gruber anastomosis is a rare anomalous intercommunication from the ulnar nerve to the median nerve in the forearm. A young lady was involved in a road traffic accident that resulted in the fracture of both forearm bones for which she was treated surgically. A nerve conduction study was performed later on, which incidentally demonstrated findings of this communication.

Effect of head down tilt on heart rate variability.

Context: Sirshasan is supposed to increase blood flow to the brain and considered to be beneficial for intellectual function, however mastering these techniques may be difficult.

Aims: To see the effect of headstand using a tilt table on heart rate variability (HRV).

Settings And Design: A cross-sectional study that was done on 26 healthy volunteers.

Electrodiagnostic description of a rare variant of Berrettini anastomois: A case report.

Introduction: Berrettini Anastomosis is a common purely sensory anastomosis between ulnar and median nerves in palm. Here, via a communicating branch, ulnar nerve can provide sensory supply to digits 3 and 2.There have been electrodiagnostic (EDX) descriptions of the former.

Undescended cecum with accessory right colic artery: a rare case report.

Midgut malrotation and incomplete rotation are common causes of neonatal intestinal obstruction. At end of 10 week of intrauterine life, cecum will be placed in subhepatic region temporarily and descends to right lower quadrant by eleventh week. Arrest of cecum in subhepatic region or undescended cecum is a rare congenital anomaly of mid gut.

Physiological taste threshold in type 1 diabetes mellitus.

The sense of taste is one of the important oral chemical senses that play a critical role in human life. The taste threshold increases by number of factors such as age, local and systemic disease like diabetes, consumption of alcohol, smoking. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between taste threshold in type 1 diabetics and non diabetics for four basic taste modalities (i.
