Background: Antituberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATDILI) is a significant problem of tuberculosis treatment. This systematic review and meta‑analysis aimed at evaluating the incidence and risk factors of ATDILI in adult patients with tuberculosis in India.

Methods: Five electronic databases were searched comprehensively for studies on Indian adult patients with tuberculosis investigating the incidence and/or risk factors of ATDILI. The relevant data was pooled in a random or fixed-effect model to calculate the pooled incidence with a 95% confidence interval (CI), standardized mean difference (MD) or odds ratio (OR).

Results: Following the screening of 3221 records, 43 studies with 12,041 tuberculosis patients were finally included. Based on the random effect model, the pooled incidence of ATDILI was 12.6% (95% CI, 9.9-15.3%, p < 0.001, I = 95.1%). The pooled incidence was higher in patients with daily treatment regimen compared to the thrice weekly regimen (16.5% vs. 3.5%). The concurrent hepatitis B or C infection, alcohol consumption and underlying chronic liver disease were associated with high incidence of ATDILI. The pooled incidence of acute liver failure (ALF) among ATDILI patients was 6.78% (95% CI 3.9-9.5%). Female gender (OR 1.24), older age (MD 0.26), lean body mass index (OR 3.8), hypoalbuminemia (OR 3.09), N-acetyltransferase slow acetylator genotypes (OR 2.3) and glutathione S-transferases M null mutation (OR 1.6) were found to be associated with an increased risk of ATDILI. The pooled mortality rate of ATDILI patients was 1.72% (95% CI 0.4-3.0%) overall and 71.8% (95% CI 49.3-94.2%) in case of ALF.

Conclusion: Overall, 12.6% patients of tuberculosis in India developed ATDILI when combination of first-line antituberculosis drugs was used. An average of 7% of ATDILI patients progressed to ALF which had a high mortality rate. Older age, female, poor nutritional status and some genetic polymorphisms were identified as significant risk factors.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the correlation between prevalent risk factors for high-risk neonates in neonatal intensive care unit and their hearing loss, and to examine the audiological features and genetic profiles associated with different deafness mutations in our tertiary referral center. This research seeks to deepen our understanding of the etiology behind congenital hearing loss.

Methods: We conducted initial hearing screenings, including automated auditory brainstem response, distortion product otoacoustic emission, and acoustic immittance on 443 high-risk neonates within 7 days after birth and 42 days (if necessary) after birth.

In women globally, breast cancer ranks as the second most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths, making up about 25% of female cancer cases, which is pretty standard in affluent countries. Breast cancer is divided into subtypes based on aggressive, genetic and stage. The precise cause of the problem is still unknown.

Serum Cortisol and Cardiovascular Disease Risk-A Potential Biomarker.

Cardiovascular Disease [CVD], the leading cause of death globally, poses a significant burden on the healthcare sector. Its association with stress and Cushing's Syndrome has driven cortisol, the 'stress hormone,' to be a potential candidate in determining CVD risk. Cortisol synthesis and release through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal [HPA] axis are regulated by several hormones and receptors involved in the pathological cascade towards CVD.

Introduction/objective: Emotional, mental, or psychological distress, defined as increased symptoms of depression, anxiety, and/or stress, is common in patients with chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD).

Methods: Literature was reviewed regarding data from studies and meta-analyses examining the impact of emotional stress on the occurrence and outcome of several CVDs (coronary disease, heart failure, hypertension, arrhythmias, stroke). These influences' pathophysiology and clinical spectrum are detailed, tabulated, and pictorially illustrated.
