The clinical effectiveness of telemedicine for managing type 2 diabetes in India: a meta-analysis of the impact of telemedicine with clinic visits.

Objectives: Telemedicine has emerged as a promising solution for enhancing Type 2 diabetes management, which aims to reduce healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes. Despite its potential benefits for diabetes management in India, knowledge of its clinical effectiveness is scarce. This meta-analysis examines the clinical effectiveness of telemedicine versus physical consultation in managing Type 2 diabetes in India.

A comparative study of incidence, mortality and disability adjusted life years (DALYs) for leading cancers in BRICS countries.

Background: While cancer stands as a prominent global contributor to mortality, the BRICS countries, which contribute a considerable proportion of the world's economy, also account for a substantial proportion of global cancer-related deaths. The study aims to compile data on the incidence, mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of leading cancers in BRICS countries to assess any variations in these parameters.

Methods: Indicators such as the age-standardised incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardised mortality rate (ASMR) were abstracted from GLOBOCAN 2022.
