Systematic Review on: Peptic Ulcer and Its Management
Abstract: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD), which affects 5–10% of people worldwide, is still a significant global health concern. Gastric acid and pepsin's corrosive effects cause mucosal injury in the stomach, duodenum, or lower oesophagus. Long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and Helicobacter pylori infection are the primary reasons. This review's goal is to examine PUD's aetiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical symptoms, diagnostic methods, and evidence-based treatment modalities. PubMed, Google Scholar, …

A Study to Assess the Risk Factors and Symptoms of Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome among Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis
Abstract: Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome (DDS) is a rare but potentially life-threatening neurological complication associated with hemodialysis, particularly during initiation or in high-risk patients. It is characterized by a spectrum of neurological manifestations ranging from mild symptoms such as headache and nausea to severe outcomes including seizures, coma, and death. Early identification of risk factors and prompt recognition of symptoms are crucial to prevent morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to …

Assessment of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome with Emphasis on Imaging Modalities
Abstract: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a higly prevalent hormonal disorder that affects women during their reproductive age. It is linked to a wide range of health concerns ,including disturbances in reproductive functions, metabolic abnormalities and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Ultrasonography plays a crucial role in identifying polycystic ovarian morphology, which constitutes one of the key diagnostic criteria under the Rotterdam consensus. This prospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted …

Effect of Toxoplasma gondii on some Neurotransmitter Levels in Patients with Toxoplasmosis Infection
Abstract: Background: The study of Toxoplasma gondii on some neurotransmitter levels in patients with toxoplasmosis infection is one of the challenges of sustainable development. Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that can alter host behavior by affecting neurotransmitters of the host. Aim: To diagnose if there are differences in neurotransmitter levels in infected people by toxoplasmosis and healthy people to predict the psychological and neurological diseases. Methods: The study included collecting 60 …

A Study to Assess the Risk Factors Associated with Sudden Death in Population on Hemodialysis
Abstract: Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD) experience disproportionately high mortality, with sudden death remaining a leading cause. Multiple clinical, biochemical, and care-related factors influence outcomes, yet comprehensive risk stratification models and the role of dialysis timing and early nephrology care remain inadequately explored in resource-limited settings. Objectives: This study aimed to (i) identify clinical and biochemical risk factors associated with mortality in HD patients, (ii) …

Studies on Zooplankton Diversity of Manar Reservoir with Selected Physico-Chemical Parameters, Maharashtra
Abstract: Freshwater reservoirs in India are increasingly exposed to anthropogenic pressures, such as agricultural runoff, domestic sewage discharge, and water level fluctuations, which significantly influence nutrient dynamics and aquatic ecosystem stability. Biomonitoring using plankton communities provides an effective approach for evaluating ecological health, as these organisms respond rapidly to changes in physico-chemical conditions. The present investigation was carried out to assess the environmental status and trophic condition of Manar Reservoir, located …

Body Weight Patterns and Lifestyle Behaviors Among Male College Students in Kangra District, Himachal Pradesh: A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract: Abnormal body weight in young adults is a major public-health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income settings where undernutrition and excess weight may coexist. The college period often involves changes in diet, physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep, all of which influence nutritional status and future disease risk. This study assessed the prevalence of underweight and overweight/obesity among college-aged male students in Kangra District, Himachal Pradesh, India, and examined the …

Comparison of Recovery Profile for Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) Using Propofol And Remifentanil in Laparoscopic Surgeries
Abstract: Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) has become an increasingly preferred technique in modern anaesthetic practice due to advantages such as reduced postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), improved hemodynamic stability, minimal environmental impact, and faster recovery compared to conventional inhalational anesthesia. Propofol in combination with remifentanil is widely used for TIVA because of its rapid onset and offset of action, which supports quick postoperative awakening and enhanced patient satisfaction. Target Controlled Infusion …

A Study on the Comparative Changes in Nutritional Status in Follow-Up of End Stage Renal Disease Patients
Abstract: Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome (DDS) is a rare but serious neurological complication associated with hemodialysis, particularly during the initiation phase or in patients with high metabolic derangements. It is characterized by a range of neurological symptoms resulting from rapid shifts in plasma osmolality, leading to cerebral edema. Despite advancements in dialysis techniques, DDS continues to pose a clinical challenge due to its unpredictable nature and potential for severe outcomes. The present …
