ABSTRACT

ß-Thalassemia major is an inherited blood condition marked by a serious anemia and a lifetime need for blood transfusions. The effects of ß-thalassemia major on endocrine health, notably the risk of diabetes, remain largely unstudied, despite the fact that its haematological components are established. The purpose of this systematic analysis was to examine the incidence of reduced metabolism of glucose in ß--thalassemia major. The articles were under the inclusion requirements, after which the data was retrieved. The main outcome was determined to be every prevalence (P) of DM (diabetes mellitus) in ß-thalassemia major. In order to examine the percentage of aberrant glucose metabolism (GM) with individuals among ß-thalassemia major, the P with the 95% CI (Confidence Interval) was utilized. In this retrospective investigation, we looked at a cohort of people with ß-thalassemia major diagnoses to determine the incidence and risk of hormonal diseases, particularly diabetes. A specialist thalassemia facility treated 315 individuals with ß-thalassemia major, and their medical records were examined. Age, gender, age at which a main diagnosis of ß-thalassemia was made, the length of transfusion treatment, and concomitant diseases were gathered as part of the demographic and clinical data. Our research, which included 17 studies and 1500 cases altogether, showed that with ß -thalassemia major had a considerably greater frequency of diabetes than people in general. With a mean beginning age of 30 years, diabetes was identified in 28% of the research cohort's participants. The combined meta-analysis showed that each year had a rather stable level of DM P in ß-thalassemia major. In people with major ß-thalassemia, the P of impaired fasting glucose (IFG), DM, and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) was 17.22% (95% CI: 8.44%-26.02%), (6.57 (95% CI: 5.31%- 7.79%) and 12.47 % (95% CI: 5.97%-18.95%), respectively. Our research suggests that people with ß-thalassemia major have a high chance of acquiring diabetes, particularly if they get extended transfusion treatment. For prompt diagnosis and care, early detection of diabetes and other hormonal problems in this group is crucial. In ß-thalassemia major, there is a high frequency of endocrine problems, including improper GM. To stop growth and endocrine issues, treatment and preventative measures can be required.

ABSTRACT

This article's purpose is to explore how "non-invasive brain stimulation" (NBS) can be used to treat "traumatic brain injury" (TBI) and promote neuroplasticity. Along with the pathophysiological processes that occur after a TBI, "transcranial direct current stimulation" (tDCS) and "transcranial magnetic stimulation" (TMS) are described. These processes are based on a study of the relevant literature. Individualized treatment plans are required because the pathophysiological processes that result from TBI change over time. Given their neurophysiological effects, TMS and tDCS may be used to (a) significant suppression of post-traumatic cerebral hyper excitability; (b) control synaptic plasticity over the long run to prevent unfavorable outcomes; and (c) in addition to other forms of treatment such as physical and behavioral, assist some neural networks to reorganize and consolidate their learning. These treatments have the potential to reduce the disabling symptoms of brain injury.Animal and human research show that NBS may help reduce the severity of injuries and increase plastic changes in lesioned brain tissue, both of which are necessary for the successful acquisition of new knowledge and the restoration of lost functions. However, at present, this evidence is mostly speculative. The relevance of NBS in TBI, further elucidating its therapeutic benefits, and defining appropriate stimulation levels all need investigations in TBI patients due to safety concerns.

ABSTRACT

To evaluate the extent to that blood pressure management objectives are fulfilled in patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HT), as well as the impact of the Cardiac Rehabilitation plan on the patient's useful ability, mental health, and pathological risk factors. The Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) participants' anthropometric measurements, medications, lipid profiles, and medical and social backgrounds were all the subjects of the 19-month data collection. The parameters of the topics' minute walk test and Patient Health Questionnaire(PHQ) were further investigated. The Calvary Public Hospital in Canberra's CR program sessions required participants to show up for at least 10 of the sessions to be qualified. Seventy-nine people took part in the research. Significant reductions in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels in the blood of participants, as well as gains in a patient health questionnaire and 6 min walk test (6MWT) scores, were seen. Additionally, people increased drug management. Results showed considerable improvements in diastolic blood pressure, physical capacity, depression, and anxiety in DM patients. A cardiac rehabilitation program may lower cardiovascular disease risk factors while enhancing participants' physical and emotional well-being. Results shown the cardiac rehabilitation program lowers the risk factors linked with DM patients' cardiovascular and renal disease via increased physical fitness and decreased levels of anxiety and despair.

ABSTRACT

Ischemic stroke is a major health issue, especially for the older population and it may have severe effects. Stroke diagnosis and treatment have advanced over the last 20 years, which has resulted in considerable reductions in death, long-term impairment, and the need for institutional care. Younger age groups have seen the majority of trials for acute, interventional, and preventive therapy. The purpose of this research was to identify distinct subgroups of older people who had suffered an ischemic stroke and examine the role that risk factors and previous illnesses played in their development. Ischemic stroke risk factors varied by age, gender and exhibited their own unique features. Smoking, cholesterol, and psychological/emotional stress were shown to have the greatest prevalence (p<0.06) among stroke patients aged 45-60. Smoking is associated with a significant (p<0.07) decline in health in elderly people. Our results imply that there are significant patterns of risk factors and preexisting illnesses among the various subgroups of older people who have had an ischemic stroke. Atherosclerotic (large-artery) and cardio embolic (small-artery) ischemic strokes were shown to be the most prevalent among the elderly. Strong associations were found between these subtypes and other risk factors, including higher cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, and atrial fibrillation. This research emphasizes the need for individualized preventative methods and therapeutic therapy, as well as the need to recognize the variability of ischemic stroke in the elderly.
