Background: Long-term conditions (LTCs) are major public health problems with a considerable health-related and economic burden. Modelling is key in assessing costs and benefits of different disease management strategies, including routine monitoring, in the conditions of hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in primary care.
Objective: This review aimed to identify published model-based cost-effectiveness studies of routine laboratory testing strategies in these LTCs to inform a model evaluating the cost effectiveness of testing strategies in the UK.

Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 patients experienced increased stress, poor sleep quality, and higher inflammatory markers, prompting a study on the impact of heartfulness meditation as a nonpharmacological treatment.
- Conducted as a randomized controlled trial at AIIMS Mangalagiri, the study involved 50 patients divided into two groups: one practicing 4 weeks of heartfulness meditation and the other receiving relaxation techniques.
- Results showed that both groups had reduced stress, lower cortisol levels, decreased inflammatory markers, better sleep quality, and improved overall health after the 4-week intervention.
Background: Extrapulmonary tuberculosis represents about 14% of all cases of tuberculosis (TB) in Malaysia. The aim of the study includes the evaluation of sociodemographic factors, clinical manifestations, comorbidities among patients with tuberculous lymphadenitis and their treatment outcomes.
Methods: The retrospective study was conducted from 2006 to 2008.
Background: Metformin has been added in the Malaysian clinical practice guideline (CPG) as one of the first-line options in the management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); however, the uptake on this practice among healthcare professionals is unknown.
Objective: The objective of the study is to determine the awareness, attitude, and practice and their predictors on the use of metformin for GDM among healthcare professionals in Malaysia.
Materials And Methods: This was a multicenter, cross-sectional study in three tertiary hospitals in Malaysia.
Purpose: There is a wide range of use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), which has increased drastically and affected treatments overall. The knowledge and practice of Chinese herbal medicine among the general population is considered as positive. Literature shows that the effectiveness and acceptance of alternative therapies is still debatable among the general population.

The perceptions about CAMs among general population are positive. However, the literature highlights that effectiveness and acceptance of alternative therapies among the general population is still a subject of debate.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The study was focused on evaluating cytotoxic and antimicrobial activities of (Roxb.) bark through pharmacological screening.
Materials And Methods: The bark was extracted using different solvents, for example, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methanol, and aqueous for obtaining the organic fractions.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemicals screening of (Roxb) bark and to analyze the enzymatic activities of its various organic fractions.
Materials And Methods: Crude methanolic fraction of (Roxb) bark and its respective fractions were screened for the presence of different phytochemicals with different reagents. On the basis of increasing order of polarity, different organic solvents were used to obtain different fractions.
