Background: Dysregulation of insulin and glucagon secretion alters the normal insulin:glucagon ratio (IGR) in type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. This study explores the scope of construing the role of these two diametrically opposing hormones on the glucose level not just in obesity but in different glucose tolerance states by looking at the hormone levels and at the insulin glucagon bipolar axis itself.
Materials And Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional study of 60 healthy adults consisting of an equal number of adults who are lean and adults who are obese.

J Family Med Prim Care
November 2023
Background And Aim: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is still one of the leading preventable causes of maternal morbidity and mortality in the first trimester. Amidst the use of sensitive assays for β-HCG and high-definition ultrasonography for the identification of EP, the search for a more reliable and sensitive marker remains a challenge till date. Our aim was to determine the validity of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and its isoenzyme (CPK-MB) in the prediction of tubal EP.

Aims And Objectives: The objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of NEBF amongst the high-risk children and the factors associated with NEBF.
Background: There is paucity of studies on prevalence of SHS among pregnant women and its association with low birth weight (LBW).
Objectives: The study was designed to determine the proportion of tobacco use, exposure to second hand smoke among pregnant women and their association with LBW.
