Hypopituitarism is of diverse aetiology. Apart from pituitary adenoma and Sheehan's syndrome, snakebite is a common aetiology of hypopituitarism. A total of 82 patients of hypopituitarism were studied. Biochemical and radiological investigations were done in all the cases. A quality of life questionnaire was put among the patients. Scores were calculated from the answers of the questionnaire and they were assessed about quality of life. Though growth hormone deficiency is associated with poor quality of life there were no significant differences with patients with hypopituitarism without any growth hormone deficiency.

Perioperative Trends in Distress Among Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Cancer Med
March 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, USA.
Introduction: Distress is common among cancer patients, especially those undergoing surgery. However, no study has systematically analyzed distress trends in this population. The purpose of this study was to systematically review perioperative rates of distress, as well as differences across cancer types, in cancer patients undergoing surgical intervention.

Objective: To enhance our understanding of the processes of change and the interaction of symptoms, we applied a relatively novel method known as Dynamic Time Warp to data from low-threshold internet-based interventions directed at decreasing eating disorder (ED) symptoms and increasing help-seeking.
Method: Utilizing data from the Featback study, we examined how various factors such as ED psychopathology, binge eating, vomiting, laxative use, BMI, anxiety, depression, self-efficacy, social support, well-being, and health-related quality of life interplayed over a period of 14 months among 355 individuals at six different time points. Moreover, we explored which symptoms exerted a significant temporal relationship on others (with high out-strength) and which were most affected by other symptoms (with high in-strength).
Evaluation of Nutritional Values of Defatted Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Larvae Meal Using the Precision-Fed Cecectomized Rooster Assay.

The use of insects, such as black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae meal (BSFLM), as an alternative protein source for pet food has gained attention due to their high nutritional value. The objective of this study was to determine the chemical composition, amino acid digestibility, and protein quality of defatted BSFLM of two distinct substrates (wheat and corn, BSFLM-W and BSFLM-C). Whole egg powder (WEP) and chicken meal (CM) were used as reference protein sources commonly used in pet foods.

Yellow mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) serve as an alternative protein source. Because the amino acid (AA) concentrations, AA digestibility, and protein quality of ingredients may vary depending on their husbandry, harvest and processing procedures, and other factors, each should be evaluated separately. The objective of this study was to measure the AA composition, AA digestibility, and protein quality of yellow mealworm-based ingredients using the precision-fed cecectomized rooster assay.

Hemophilia is a rare X-linked bleeding disorder caused by mutations in the F8 or F9 gene (hemophilia A or B), leading to deficient factor VIII or IX proteins, respectively. Hemophilia-related complications caused by bleeding into the joints (the hallmark of hemophilia) and age-related comorbidities occur frequently and impact the functionality and quality of life of persons with hemophilia (PwH). Given the chronic nature of hemophilia, we hypothesized that hemophilia has an association with accelerated biological aging.
