Burden of diabetes in correctional facilities: A global systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Diabetes mellitus presents significant public health challenges worldwide. While its prevalence and management in the general population have been extensively studied, comprehensive research on diabetes among incarcerated individuals is lacking. This study aims to conduct a systematic review and -analysis to determine the prevalence of diabetes within the prison population.

Global and regional burden of cardiovascular diseases due to non-optimal temperature exposure: a systematic analysis with forecasts to 2050.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are leading contributors to global morbidity and mortality, significantly influenced by non-optimal temperatures. This study projects the impact of temperature fluctuations on CVD through 2050, considering environmental and climate changes.

Methods: Using Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study data, we analysed age-standardized death rates (ASDR) and disability-adjusted life years (ASR DALYs) related to non-optimal temperatures.

Trends and projections of type 2 diabetes mellitus in South Asia: a three-decade analysis and forecast through 2031 using global burden of disease study (1990 - 2021).

Background: The rapid rise of non-communicable diseases, particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), poses a significant global public health challenge, with South Asia experiencing an increasingly severe burden. This study aimed to analyse historical trends of T2DM across South Asia from 1990 to 2021 and forecast incidence through 2031.

Research Design And Methods: We carried out analysis based on the data from the 2021 Global burden of disease study.

Burden of neurologic diseases in BRICS countries (1990 to 2021): an analysis of 2021 Global Burden of Disease Study.

Background: Neurological disorders are a major global health concern, especially in BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), where demographic and socio-economic changes have amplified their impact. This study evaluates trends in incidence, prevalence, mortality, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) associated with neurological diseases in these countries from 1990 to 2021, focusing on sex disparities and key risk factors.

Methods: Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 database.

Prostate cancer burden in South Asia: A systematic analysis of global burden of disease data (1990-2021).

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to analyze trends in prostate cancer incidence, incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from 1990 to 2021 via data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study in South Asia. Additionally, the study projects future prostate cancer incidence rates up to 2031 to inform public health interventions in South Asia.

Methods: Data covering South Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Pakistan were obtained from the GBD 2021 portal.

Understanding current trends and incidence projections of prostate cancer in India: A comprehensive analysis of national and regional data from the global burden of disease study (1990 -2021).

Background: The study aims to explore the burden and trends of prostate cancer (PC) in India at the state level from 1990 to 2021, using data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study.

Methods: The health metrics including age-standardised incidence rates (ASIR), prevalence rates (ASPR), disability-adjusted life years (ASDR), and mortality rates (ASMR) per 100,000 for PC were analysed across Indian states and union territories. Join point regression analysis was employed to identify significant changes in these metrics over time.

Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome Following Blood Transfusion in a Patient With Chronic Anemia: A Case Report.

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by transient constriction and dilation of cerebral arteries, leading to severe headaches and neurological deficits. This case report describes a 41-year-old woman with chronic anemia, acute chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and rheumatoid arthritis who developed RCVS following transfusion of packed red blood cells (PRBCs). She experienced sudden-onset seizures and a thunderclap headache 5 days post-transfusion.

Murine typhus: an underappreciated influence on human disease transmission dynamics.

Murine typhus, a vector-borne illness transmitted by fleas and caused by , presents significant public health challenges globally. Despite its impact, it often remains underrecognized in health systems. This disease is characterized by non-specific symptoms such as fever, rash, and severe complications in cases involving neurological or multi-organ involvement.

The silent spread: why we need increased awareness of Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever.

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) presents significant global health challenges, highlighted by its sporadic nature and high fatality rates. The manuscript emphasizes the disease's tendency to be under-recognized and the diagnostic challenges it poses, often mimicking other illnesses and leading to frequent misdiagnosis. There is a noted absence of robust diagnostic tools, specific treatments, or vaccines, leaving only supportive care generally available.
