Article Synopsis
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis commonly involves indicators such as irregular periods, high androgen levels, and ovarian structure; however, the impact of frequent periods (polymenorrhoea) and partial PCOS cases remains underexplored.
- In a study with over 9,600 women, those diagnosed with PCOS, especially with hyperandrogenism or oligomenorrhoea, displayed higher body mass index (BMI), elevated blood glucose, and lipid levels compared to healthy women, while insulin resistance levels were notably higher across the board.
- The polymenorrhoea subgroup showed lower BMI and testosterone levels but shared similar metabolic characteristics with women experiencing oligomenorrhoea
Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is being recognized increasingly all over the globe; Indian data is however sparse. We screened patients with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) for presence of EoE in them.
Methods: Consecutive patients with symptoms suggestive of GERD underwent gastroduodenoscopy and esophageal biopsies, obtained from both the upper esophagus (5 cm below the upper esophageal sphincter) and lower esophagus (5 cm above gastroesophageal junction), as well as from any other endoscopically visible abnormal mucosa.
Objective: To compare the effect of withholding maintenance phenobarbitone on breakthrough seizures.
Design: A double blind randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Level II neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of a teaching hospital in Northern India.
Bone marrow neoangiogenesis plays an important role in multiple myeloma (MM) and depends on the interplay of angiogenic cytokines. We investigated the levels of angiogenic cytokines such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), angiopoietin (Ang)-1, Ang-2 and hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HiF-1α) in MM patients and their association with treatment outcome. Serum levels and mRNA expression of VEGF, Ang-2, Ang-1, bFGF and HiF-1α were evaluated in 71 MM patients using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.
