Low Serum Testosterone Levels in Male Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus as a Risk Factor for Coronary Artery Disease.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic debilitating illness associated with several complications of which hypogonadism in male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is often overlooked but carries a high prevalence and possibly associated with several co-morbidities.

Objectives: To study the correlation of serum testosterone with clinical and biochemical factors in male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Method: In our cross-sectional study, we selected a group of 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (50 each with hypogonadism and 50 with eugonadism) and obtained their biochemical parameters and looked for the prevalence of co-morbid conditions.

Dengue Encephalopathy in Hadoti Region: Clinical Presentation, Diagnostic Evaluation, Management and Outcome.

Background: Dengue viral infection is common worldwide. Recent studies have shown dengue viral infection causing encephalopathy, with high morbidity and mortality. Dengue encephalopathy patients usually present with altered sensorium, elevated lab parameters and high antibody titres at the time of admission.

ECG Changes in Young Healthy Smokers: A Simple and Cost-Effective Method to Assess Cardiovascular Risk According to Pack-Years of Smoking.

Objective: To document the prevalence of ECG abnormalities in young healthy smokers and compare ECG changes in smokers, young healthy non-smokers and amongst smokers with different pack years.

Methods: This was a prospective case-control study consisting of 200 young healthy male and female individuals, 150 smokers and 50 non-smokers between ages 25-40 years, further categorized and compared according to age, sex and pack years of smoking. The ECG recordings were analyzed for different ECG parameters like heart rate, P-wave duration, P-wave amplitude, PR interval, QRS duration, RR-interval, ST-segment duration, QT interval and QTc interval.

Acute ischaemic stroke and acute myocardial infarction occurring together in domestic low-voltage (220-240V) electrical injury: a rare complication.

Background: Myocardial Infarction and Ischaemic stroke are potential outcome after an electric shock though it is seen relatively rarely.

Case Report: Here, we report a man with myocardial infarction as well as Ischaemic stroke occurring together who suffered a domestic low- voltage (220-240V) electrical injury. Myocardial infarction was evident by cardiac enzymes, electrocardiography and echocardiography while Ischemic stroke was evident on CT scan head: Patient was treated on line of acute ischaemic stroke and myocardial infarction.
