Diabetologia.
  • Impact of daily life stress was ascertained in 116 subjects [62 insulin-resistant [IR] & 54 insulin-sensitive (IS); age 18-78 yrs]
  • Stress level correlated positively with blood glucose level (p=0.005) only in IR, stress levels predicted negative impact in both IR (p<0.001) & IS (p<0.001) subjects
  • Integrating stress management strategies is essential for diabetes prevention in at-risk populations.

BMC Infect Dis.
  • Fever of origin (FUO) analysis (N=100; mean age 45.1) showed diagnosis: CVD (39%) > infections (19%) > malignancies (17%); 13% undiagnosed
  • Vasculitis (25.6%) predominated in CVD; TB (36.8%) in infections; lymphomas (52.9%) in malignancies
  • PET-CT had highest diagnostic yield (p=0.004)
  • CRP ≥140 mg/L, low Hb, HIV+, ferritin ≥875 µg/L predicted malignancy (p=0.01)
  • HIV subgroup: infections 46%, malignancy 38%

Cureus.
  • N=209; Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) in <5 yrs: 59.8% viral (HRV 21%, RSV 16%), 45.5% bacterial (H. influenzae 11%)
  • Co-infections: viral 6.7% (HRV-RSV most common), bacterial 8.6% (mostly S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae)
  • Peaks: viral post-monsoon, bacterial monsoon
  • ARI showed higher odds of bacterial etiology (OR 1.04, P = 0.87), whereas serious ARI (SARI) showed higher odds of viral (OR 0.65, P = 0.04)
