Microalbuminuria as an Independent Screening Tool in Patients with Myocardial Infarction
Abstract: Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is a condition in which there is an inadequate supply of blood and oxygen to a portion of myocardium; most common cause being atherosclerosis of coronary vessels. Microalbuminuria (MAU) is defined as urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) of 30–300 mg/g. It is considered as marker of generalized endothelial dysfunction and vasculopathy and suggested to contribute to the formation of atherosclerotic lesion and ultimately leading to risk of …

Evaluating the Role of Platelet Indices, with a Focus on Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF), in Differentiating Hyper-Destructive and Hypo-Productive Thrombocytopenia: A Study from Ludhiana, Punjab, India
Abstract: Background: Thrombocytopenia, characterized by a reduction in platelet count, is commonly observed in clinical settings. Its etiology can be broadly classified into hyper-destructive thrombocytopenia, where platelets are destroyed at an accelerated rate, and hypo-productive thrombocytopenia, where platelet production is impaired. Differentiating between these two causes is essential for effective management. The Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF) has emerged as a promising non-invasive diagnostic tool to distinguish these causes. Objectives: The primary …

Use of Geohydrological Controls to Tackle Geogenic Arsenic Contamination of Hard Rock Aquifer: A Case Study from Central India
Abstract: AbstractArsenic poisoning of potable groundwater is considered one of the most severe health hazard in recent years. Reporting of high geogenic arsenic contamination in groundwater is increasing day by day within the country. The hydrothermal phase following the batholithic intrusion is responsible for sulfide mineralization and related enrichment of Arsenic (As) concentration in the granite-meta rhyolite rocks along the Kotri lineament of central India. Isolated clusters of high As groundwater …
