Abstract: India is known as the diabetic capital of the world. One of the common complications of diabetes is foot ulcer. It can be prevented by proper glycemic control. Many tribal populations in India are devoid of basic medical facility. So, good glycemic control in these population is a distant reality. This study aims to analyze the prevalence of foot ulcers among tribals with diabetes

Abstract: Aim: The purpose of this prospective study was to analyze the reasons for apicectomy and to evaluate the treatment outcomes of the apicectomized teeth in patients attending the dental clinics in University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku Ozalla and a private practice (Dentslyn Dental clinic) in Enugu State. Material and Method: Fifty patients who presented to the clinics within the study period, requiring apicectomy were recruited, having met the inclusion criteria. The teeth were treated surgically. The participants were followed up for one year. The outcome of treatment was assessed both radiographically and clinically. Results: Patients were aged 17-65 years, with half (50.0%) of the participants significantly within the 20-29 years age group (p=0.001). More than half (52.0%) were females. Sixty percentage (n=30) of the participants were of the middle socioeconomic class (p= 0.001) and half of the participants were civil servants (0.001). Majority of the.....

Abstract: Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with a state of decreased insulin sensitivity along with increased body mass index. It has been studied that serum adiponectin produced by human placenta and adipose tissue has profound insulin sensitizing properties along with anti-inflammatory and anti-atherogenic effects. A decreased level of serum adiponectin is an independent risk factor for future development of diabetes. Conversely, increased level of serum adiponectin reduces the chances of Type 2 DM. Aims & Objectives: To study the association of serum adiponectin levels with GDM.........
