    Abstract Background: Acute chest pain is a common presentation in emergency departments worldwide. Differentiating between cardiac and non-cardiac chest pain is crucial for patient management and resource allocation.
    Methods: This study analyzed 714 patients presenting with acute chest pain in a tertiary care hospital in North India. We investigated demographic characteristics, chief complaints, risk factors, ECG findings, and final diagnoses to identify patterns associated with cardiac (CCP) and non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP).
    Results: CCP was diagnosed in 53.7% (n=383) and NCCP in 46.3% (n=331). Significant predictors of CCP included age (OR=1.05, p<0.001), smoking (OR=2.22, p<0.001), diabetes (OR=1.57, p=0.003), hypertension (OR=1.82, p<0.001), and family history of ischemic heart disease (IHD) (OR=1.42, p=0.01). Central chest pain was more common in CCP (60% vs. 40%, p<0.001), as were abnormal ECG findings such as ST-segment depression (35% vs. 10%, p<0.001) and elevation (29% vs. 6%, p<0.001). Normal ECG was more prevalent in NCCP (60%, p<0.001).
    Conclusion: Traditional cardiovascular risk factors remain strongly associated with CCP. Smoking has a particularly high odds ratio, suggesting the need for targeted interventions. ECG findings significantly aid in differentiating CCP from NCCP. This study underscores the importance of a comprehensive approach in evaluating acute chest pain to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

    Abstract Diabetes is known to increase susceptibility to hypertension due to increase in inflammation, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction, leading to vascular stiffness. The polytherapy might lead to several drug-drug interactions (DDIs), which cause certain life-threatening complications such as diabetic nephropathy and hypoglycaemia. So, in this review we focused on drug-drug interactions and impact of genetic factors on drug responses for better disease management. Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) may act either synergistically or antagonistically. For instance, a combination of metformin with angiotensin II receptor antagonist or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) synergistically improves glucose absorption, whereas the same hypertensive drug combination with sulphonylurea might cause severe hypoglycaemia sometimes. Thiazolidinediones (TDZs) can cause fluid retention and heart failure when taken alone, but a combination of angiotensin II receptor antagonist with TZDs prevents these side effects. Interindividual genetic variation affects the DDI response. We found two prominent genes, GLUT4 and PPAR-γ, which are common targets for most of the drug. So, all of these findings established a connection between drug-drug interaction and genetics, which might be used for effective disease management.

    Abstract Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an array of metabolic diseases, which results from deregulation in insulin secretion or its action leading to abnormally high levels of blood sugar associated with long-term damage, organs failure, especially the eyes, heart, kidneys, blood vessels and nerves whose frequency has increased progressively worldwide. Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate the plasma levels of miRNA-126, miRNA-486, miRNA-223 and miRNA-375 in newly diagnosed T2DM susceptible and healthy control individuals. Methods: In this study, we evaluated the T2DM-related miRNAs miRNA-126, miRNA-486, miRNA-223 and miRNA-375 in plasma of three study groups comprising healthy control (N = 36), newly diagnosed T2DM (N = 29) and T2DM susceptible individuals (N = 30) using Real Time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) (Taqman®). All the statistical analysis were done using SPSS version 21software. Results: Significant associations were found between these parameters. The expression levels of miR-126, miR-486, miR-223, and miR-375 were downregulated in T2DM patients and further reduced in T2DM-susceptible individuals compared to healthy controls. Additionally, miR-223 and miR-375 showed an inverse correlation with HbA1c levels, while all four miRs displayed an inverse correlation with FBS levels in the combined group analysis. Conclusion: These observed associations further suggest that miR-126, miR-223, and miR-375 may be involved in the regulation of glucose metabolism and glycemic control. Their down regulation could potentially contribute to impaired insulin signaling, beta-cell dysfunction, inflammation, and disrupted glucose homeostasis, all of which are characteristics of diabetes.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide since December 2019. Diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases are common comorbidities in COVID-19 patients and have been correlated with increased disease severity. Comorbidities lead the COVID-19 patient into a vicious infectious circle and are substantially associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study was aimed to estimate prevalence of comorbidities in severe category of COVID survivors and non survivors. More than 90% patients with multiple comorbidities admitted to ICU did not survive compared to those with one or two comorbidities. Diabetes followed by hypertension was the most common comorbidity in these patients. Thus comorbid individuals must adopt vigilant preventive measures including vaccination and they require intensive management for better outcome.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is pro-inflammatory disorder characterized by acute respiratory distress syndrome. Interleukin-6, a cytokine secreted by macrophages, which mediates an inflammatory response, is frequently increased and associated with the severity in COVID-19 patients. The differential expression of IL6 cytokine in COVID-19 patients may be associated with the presence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in regulatory region of cytokine genes. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of two promoter polymorphisms of the IL6 gene (-597G > A and -174G > C) with the severity of COVID-19. The study included 242 patients, out of which 97 patients with severe symptoms and 145 patients with mild symptoms of COVID-19. Genotyping of two selected SNPs, rs1800795 (-174G > C) and rs1800797 (-597G > A) of promoter region of IL6 gene, was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). In our study, individuals with GC genotypes of IL6 (-174G > C) polymorphism showed significantly higher risk of severity [adjusted odds (OR) 3.86, p <.001] but we did not observe any association of COVID-19 severity with rs1800797 (-597G > A) polymorphism. The COVID-19 severity was significantly higher in individuals having 'C' allele of IL6 (-174G > C) polymorphism (p = .014). Linkage disequilibrium between rs1800795 (-174G > C) and rs1800797 (-597G > A) showed that individuals having AC* haplotype significantly association with COVID-19 severity (p = .034). Our results suggest that 'C' allele of rs1800795 (-174G > C) polymorphism of IL6 may be the risk allele for severity of COVID-19 in North Indian population.

    Abstract Background: Typhoid fever, also known as enteric fever, is a communicable disease, found only in man and occurs due to systemic infection mainly by Salmonella typhi organisms. Blood culture is regarded as the gold standard for diagnosis and carry 70-75% diagnostic yield in the first week of illness. Aims and Objective: To compare the sensitivity and specificity of Widal test and dot ELISA with blood culture in the early diagnosis of Typhoid fever. Materials and Methods: A Cross-Sectional study was carried out in the Department of Microbiology, Era’s Lucknow Medical College and Hospital for a period of 18 months. Patients presenting with acute febrile illness suspicious of typhoid fever accompanied by clinical signs and symptoms of typhoid fever in the absence of any other known febrile illnesses, were included in the study. Widal and Dot ELISA was performed using serum samples and for blood culture aseptically collected blood was used. Results: Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV of DOT ELISA as compared to Blood culture for typhoid positivity was found to be 92.6%, 83.7%, 55.6% and 98.1% respectively. Diagnostic accuracy of DOT ELISA as compared to Blood culture was found to be 85.3%. Conclusion: For both early and late diagnosis of typhoid fever with high sensitivity as well as accuracy for identification of typhoid fever, the rapid diagnostic test (Dot Elisa) is better than the Widal test. However, it may be an increased burden to healthcare owing to a low positive predictive value in a low prevalence scenario.

    Abstract Background and aim: The increasing incidence of nephrolithiasis in recent decades is coinciding with rising epidemic of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. This temporal concordance suggests that a link might exist between these metabolic abnormalities and urinary stone disease. Therefore, the present study was aimed to investigate the association between presence of risk factors of nephrolithiasis and metabolic syndrome.
    Methods: In a hospital-based, case control study, hundred patients of metabolic syndrome diagnosed according to IDF criteria and hundred age and matched controls were studied for presence of risk factors of nephrolithiasis.
    Results: Patients with metabolic syndrome had significantly higher uricosuri a,hypercalciuria,oxaluria and hypocitraturia. The prevalence of risk factors of nephrolithiasis was also higher in patients with metabolic syndrome. The most prevalent was low urinary pH in 40% patients with mean pH of 5.8±1.6. Amongst other factors, 33% had hyperuricemia, 29% had hypercalciuria, 15% had oxaluria 13% had hypocitraturia and 10% had hyperuricosuria. Significant correlation was observed between risk factors of nephrolithiasis and components of metabolic syndrome.
    Conclusion: The present study provides an evidence of association between risk factors of nephrolithiasis and metabolic syndrome and suggests that nephrolithiasis may be a systemic disorder representing the interaction of multiple metabolic derangements. Determining common modifiable risk factors for the development of kidney stones might uncover new preventive strategies.

    Abstract Metabolic syndrome is considered to be a triggering factor for deterioration of health related quality of life. In present study we assessed hearing loss consequent to metabolic syndrome. A total of 100 patients diagnosed for metabolic syndrome (IDF criteria) were included in the study. All the patients underwent pure tone audiometry and impedance audiometry. All the patients underwent anthropometric measurements, lipid profile, blood sugar and blood pressure assessments. Data was analyzed using SPSS 21.0 software. A total of 62% patients had sensorineural hearing loss. Maximum (35%) had mild hearing loss, followed by moderate hearing loss (23%). Only 4 (4%) cases had severe hearing loss. Older age, wider waist circumference, higher fasting blood glucose levels and lower blood pressure were found to be significantly associated with sensorineural hearing loss and its severity on univariate analysis. However, on multivariate assessment only age and waist circumference showed a significant association with hearing loss.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has become a global health issue and develops into a broad range of illnesses from asymptomatic to fatal respiratory diseases. SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with oxidative stress that triggers cytokine production, inflammation, and other pathophysiological processes. Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) is an important enzyme that catalyzes the conjugation of glutathione (GSH) with electrophiles to protect the cell from oxidative damage and participates in the antioxidant defense mechanism in the lungs. Thus, in this study, we investigated the role of GSTM1 and GSTT1 gene polymorphism with COVID-19 susceptibility, as well as its outcome. The study included 269 RT-PCR confirmed COVID-19 patients with mild (n = 149) and severe (n = 120) conditions. All subjects were genotyped for GSTM1 and GSTT1 by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (mPCR) followed by statistical analysis. The frequency of GSTM1
