Carbimazole-associated Pancreatitis: Report From Western India.

Pancreatitis is a very rare complication of methimazole and carbimazole therapy. We describe a case of possible carbimazole-associated pancreatitis. A 41-year-old Asian man (with no comorbidities) reported to the hospital with atrial fibrillation and a fast ventricular rate.

A prospective study to assess the role of paraoxonase 1 genotype and phenotype on the lipid-lowering and antioxidant activity of statins.

Human paraoxonase 1 (PON1) enzyme protects against atherosclerosis by preventing low-density lipoprotein from oxidative modification. Upregulation of PON1 enzymatic activity is suggested to contribute to atheroprotective potential of statins. Glutamine (Q) to arginine (R) at site 192 and leucine (L) to methionine (M) substitution at site 55 polymorphisms influence the PON1 activity.

Effect of Airborne Low Intensity Multi frequency ultrasound (ALIMFUS) on glycemic control, lipid profile and markers of inflammation in patients with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes: A multicentre proof of concept, randomized double blind Placebo controlled study.

Background And Aims: Airborne Low Intensity Multi frequency Ultrasound (ALIMFUS) uses thermal and non thermal principal of ultrasound to facilitate transportation of drugs into the cells and it's metabolism. This is randomized, multi-center, Double Blind, Interventional, Placebo Controlled Study to evaluate efficacy and safety of ALIMFUS as an Add-on therapy to Oral Hypoglycemic Agent (OHA) in Type 2 DM.

Methods: Total 103/186 subjects completed the study and received 10 min either ALIMFUS therapy on alternate day for 90 days or placebo.

Prevalence of primary aldosteronism in type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension: A prospective study from Western India.

Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension commonly coexist; however, underlying primary aldosteronism (PA) can lead to worsening of hypertension, glycemia and cardiovascular risk. We aim to screen patients with T2DM and hypertension for PA by conducting a prospective monocentric study from Western India, which included adults with T2DM and hypertension from the outpatient diabetes clinic.

Design: Prospective study.
