Background: Acanthosis nigricansis was viewed recently as a possible marker of an increased risk for diabetes. Acanthosis Nigricans (AN) can help in identifying the patients with an increased risk for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) among Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) cases. Hence, this study was carried to know the prevalence of AN in PCOS and...

The 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) enzyme generates cortisol from cortisone for local glucocorticoid action in hepatocytes and adipocytes. Functional polymorphisms within 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD11B1) gene have shown an association with various factors including insulin resistance, diabetes, and obesity...

Introduction: The striking phenotypic similarities between metabolic syndrome and the Cushing syndrome of glucocorticoid excess have often been linked to 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1), which activates inert precursors like the cortisone, 11-dehydrocortisone to active glucocorticoids by oxo-reductase activity in several organs....

Trends in the prescription pattern change periodically with the advent and introduction of novel drugs, changing insights and regular revision of national and international guidelines. We sought to determine the prescribing patterns and cost of antidiabetic drug in South Indian population. Retrospective collection of data in diabetic cohorts was ca...

Public Health (PH) applications in County of Los Angeles (LAC), Department of PH have been developed to meet individual PH program’s goals. This resulted in lack of county-wide PH data integration, efficiency, and usefulness. LAC encouraged the development of web-based applications utilizing standards-based PH Information Network interoperable serv...

Patient Clinical Management tools are necessary for doctor's and support staff to undertake patient care more efficiently. Such tools are also of interest from an administrative perspective because they help reduce costs. We have developed a mobile patient clinical management tool, CALDr + . This tool holds all the vital information for patient's u...

Thermal stress calculations performed as part of the AASHTO MP1a low-temperature criterion are based on stiffness master curves generated from test data obtained at two temperatures. The time–temperature superposition (TTS) principle is considered valid although no verification of the validity has been reported so far. This paper addresses this iss...
