Background And Objective: Predicting postoperative prognosis is vital for clinical decision making in patients undergoing adrenalectomy (ADX). This study introduced GAPPA, a novel GNN-based approach, to predict post-ADX outcomes in patients with unilateral primary aldosteronism (UPA). The objective was to leverage the intricate dependencies between clinico-biochemical features and clinical outcomes using GNNs integrated into a bipartite graph structure to enhance prognostic prediction accuracy.

Background: Oncostatin M (OSM), a 28 kDa glycoprotein 130 pleiotropic cytokine belonging to the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family, is mainly produced by neutrophils, activated T cells, monocytes, and macrophages. In response to tissue injury, it may stimulate the production of IL-6 alone or act synergistically with IL-6 or TNF-α contributing to the inflammatory cycle. Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease resulting from a dysbiotic bacterial community, which has a strong association with increased OSM production.

Background: Very few studies have examined the impact of the concurrent presence of periodontitis (PD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on serum Vitamin D levels, particularly in developing nations like India, and needs further investigation.

Aim: This study aims to assess the relationship between serum Vitamin D values and PD in T2DM patients and to study the correlation between socioeconomic and demographic variables that influence the serum Vitamin D levels and the extent of PD in patients with T2DM.

Materials And Methods: This was a cross-sectional, hospital-based research.

Article Synopsis
  • - Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) leads to excess parathyroid hormone production, causing high calcium levels (hypercalcemia) and related kidney issues, including stone diseases and nephrocalcinosis, which were evaluated in a study of 583 patients divided into four groups based on their kidney conditions.
  • - Clinical factors such as younger age, male gender, hematuria, and low eGFR were linked to higher rates of nephrocalcinosis, with significant differences in calcium levels between groups with and without kidney conditions.
  • - Post-surgery, patients with nephrocalcinosis showed reduced serum calcium levels and a small percentage experienced complete resolution of their condition, indicating that surgery may have beneficial effects
