    Abstract Patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) have a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular morbidities. The participation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) in AS is still unknown and inconclusive. Heart rate variability (HRV) is defined as the variability of the time interval between two consecutive heartbeats. This meta-analysis aims to detect the association of HRV and its various parameters with AS patients by comparing them to healthy controls. Research literature was searched in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to April 2022. The Review Manager 5 (RevMan) Version 5.4 software was used to analyze the data. In addition, the protocol of systematic review is registered in the PROSPERO database with ID CRD42022336484. This study includes a total of nine case-control studies with a total of 923 patients; 409 with AS and 514 healthy controls. The root mean square of successive differences between normal heartbeats (RMSSD) [standardized mean difference (SMD); -0.47, 95% CI: -0.69 to -0.25, p < 0.0001], proportion of NN50 (pNN50) (SMD; -0.89, 95% CI: -1.74 to -0.04, p = 0.04) and HRV (SMD; -1.11, 95% CI: -1.53 to 0.69, P < 0.00001) were significantly low in AS cases compared to healthy controls. The HRV value was also significantly low in patients with high Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity (BASDAI) index (SMD: -1.45, 95% CI: -2.45 to -0.36, p < 0.009). HRV (parasympathetic activity) was significantly lowered in AS patients compared to healthy controls.

    Abstract Oral cancer (OC) has emerged as a major medical and social issue in many industrialized nations due to the high death rate. It is becoming increasingly common in people under the age of 45, although the underlying causes and mechanisms of this increase remain unclear. Melatonin, as a pleiotropic hormone, plays a pivotal role in a wide variety of cellular and physiological functions. Mounting evidence supports melatonin's ability to modify/influence oral carcinogenesis, help in the reduction of the incidence of OC, and increase chemo- and radiosensitivity. Despite its potential anti-carcinogenic effects, the precise function of melatonin in the management of OC is not well understood. This review summarizes the current knowledge regarding melatonin function in anti-carcinogenesis mechanisms for OC. In addition, clinical assessment and the potential therapeutic utility of melatonin in OC are discussed. This review will provide a basis for researchers to create new melatonin-based personalized medicines for treating and preventing OC.

    Abstract Background Maternal obesity is a global health concern that leads to metabolic alterations in the offspring, making them vulnerable to metabolic disorders in adulthood. Early identification of such neonates would provide opportunities to positively alter modifiable risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) to prevent their occurrence later in life. Objectives This study aimed to assess and contrast insulin resistance (IR) levels in neonates born to mothers with obesity and those born to healthy, non-obese mothers.  Methods This case-control study was conducted after approval from the institutional ethics committee. A total of 98 healthy, non-obese pregnant females were included in Group 1, and 68 obese pregnant females were included in Group 2. The participants were followed up until delivery and cord blood samples were collected after delivery. Neonatal glucose and insulin concentrations were estimated, and indices of IR such as homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index (QUICKI), and glucose-to-insulin ratio were calculated. Neonatal IR indices and anthropometric measurements were compared between the groups using the Z test and correlated with the maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) using Pearson's correlation. Additionally, Pearson's correlations were examined between neonatal IR indices and anthropometric measurements. Statistical significance was set at p <0.05. Results Neonates in Group 2 exhibited significantly higher anthropometric parameters and IR indices than those in Group 1. A statistically significant positive correlation was identified between maternal pre-pregnancy BMI, neonatal anthropometric parameters, and IR. Furthermore, a statistically significant positive correlation was observed between neonatal IR and the anthropometric parameters. Conclusion Neonates born to obese mothers exhibited higher anthropometric parameters and insulin resistance than those born to non-obese, healthy mothers. Assessment of IR at birth can help identify neonates who are at higher risk of developing NCD in later life. Timely promotion of a healthy lifestyle can reduce the occurrence of NCDs in later life.

    Abstract Background and aims: This study was carried out to analyze the clinical safety and efficacy of dasiglucagon for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
    Methods: We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the safety and efficacy of dasiglucagon in the treatment of hypoglycemia in patients with T1DM. Furthermore, time required for the recovery of blood glucose or to elevate blood glucose levels ≥20.0 mg/dL from baseline was analyzed. The data was analyzed in version 5.4 of review manager 5 (RevMan).
    Results: We included five published RCTs with a total of 347 patients . Dasiglucagon was significantly better at reducing the recovery time of blood glucose or increasing blood glucose levels 20.0 mg/dL from baseline compared to glucagon [pooled mean difference (PMD): 1.08%, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.96 to 0.21, p = 0.02] and placebo (PMD: - 23.30%, 95% CI: 23.97 to 22.63, p < 0.00001). Overall, the safety outcome results of dasiglucagon were comparable with the native glucagon.
    Conclusions: Dasiglucagon appears to be a promising human glucagon analog peptide for the safe and effective treatment of severe hypoglycemia in T1DM.

    Abstract Background: Growth differentiation factor (GDF)-15 is a member of a transforming growth factor-β cytokine superfamily that regulates metabolism and is released in response to inflammation, hypoxia and tissue injury. It has evolved as one of the most potent cytokines for predicting the severity of infections and inflammatory conditions, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
    Aim: To investigate the utility of GDF-15 in predicting the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
    Methods: PubMed, Reference Citation Analysis, CNKI, and Goggle Scholar were explored by using related MeSH keywords and data such as the first author's name, study duration, type and place of study, sample size and subgroups of participants if any, serum/plasma GDF- 15 level in pg/mL, area under the curve and cut-off value in receiver operating characteristic analysis, method of measurement of GDF-15, and the main conclusion were extracted.
    Results: In all studies, the baseline GDF-15 level was elevated in SARS-CoV-2-infected patients, and it was significantly associated with severity, hypoxemia, viral load, and worse clinical consequences. In addition, GDF-15 levels were correlated with C-reactive protein, D-dimer, ferritin and procalcitonin, and it had superior discriminatory ability to detect severity and in-hospital mortality of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Hence, GDF-15 might be used to predict the severity and prognosis of hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2.
    Conclusion: Serial estimation of GDF-15 levels in hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection appeared to have useful prognostic value and GDF-15 can be considered a clinically prominent sepsis biomarker for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

    Abstract Oral cancer has become a significant problem throughout the world, particularly in countries that are still developing. Recent literature supports the contribution of components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and the effect of epigenetic changes happening in the cells of the TME on oral cancer development and progression. In this review, we comprehensively examine the significance of TME in the development of OC along with the current understanding of the epigenetic modifications that regulate the TME and their cohesive impact on tumor traits and their potential as therapeutic targets.

    Abstract Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) are often diagnosed late due to lack of specific symptoms and efficient tumor markers. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin/matrix metallopeptidase-9 (NGAL/MMP-9) complex are involved in the development and progression of various cancers and have potential as a biomarker for diagnosing ovarian cancer.
    Objectives: To compare the serum NGAL/MMP-9 complex levels in patients with EOC, benign ovarian tumor, and healthy controls, and determine the potential cut-off values of NGAL/MMP-9 complex for diagnosing EOC.
    Materials and methods: The study included 50 patients each with EOC and benign ovarian tumor, along with 50 age-matched healthy controls (
    Results: A significant difference was found in the median values of the NGAL/MMP-9 complex (malignant EOC: 67.5 ng/ml, benign ovarian tumor: 53.7 ng/ml, controls: 29.2 ng/ml;
    Conclusion: The NGAL/MMP-9 complex may be a promising biomarker for determining the progression of EOC as well as in detecting advanced-stage ovarian cancer.

    Abstract Background: Empirical use of potentially hepatotoxic drugs in the management of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is considered as one of the major etiopathogenetic factors for liver injury. Recent evidence has shown that an underlying genetic factor may also occur. Hence, it is important to understand the host genetics and iatrogenic-based mechanisms for liver dysfunction to make timely remedial measures.
    Aim: To investigate drug-induced and genetic perspectives for the development of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related liver injury.
    Methods: Reference Citation Analysis, PubMed, Google Scholar and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched by employing the relevant MeSH keywords and pertaining data of the duration, site and type of study, sample size with any subgroups and drug-induced liver injury outcome. Genetic aspects were extracted from the most current pertinent publications.
    Results: In all studies, the hepatic specific aminotransferase and other biochemical indices were more than their prescribed upper normal limit in COVID-19 patients and were found to be significantly related with the gravity of disease, hospital stay, number of COVID-19 treatment drugs and worse clinical outcomes. In addition, membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 7 rs641738, rs11385942 G>GA at chromosome 3 gene cluster and rs657152 C>A at ABO blood locus was significantly associated with severity of livery injury in admitted SARS-CoV-2 patients.
    Conclusion: Hepatic dysfunction in SARS-CoV-2 infection could be the result of individual drugs or due to drug-drug interactions and may be in a subset of patients with a genetic propensity. Thus, serial estimation of hepatic indices in hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 patients should be done to make timely corrective actions for iatrogenic causes to avoid clinical deterioration. Additional molecular and translational research is warranted in this regard.

    Abstract Oral cancer (OC) has become a significant barrier to health worldwide due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. OC is among the most prevalent types of cancer that affect the head and neck region, and the overall survival rate at 5 years is still around 50%. Moreover, it is a multifactorial malignancy instigated by genetic and epigenetic variabilities, and molecular heterogeneity makes it a complex malignancy. Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) are often the first warning signs of OC, although it is challenging to predict which cases will develop into malignancies. Visual oral examination and histological examination are still the standard initial steps in diagnosing oral lesions; however, these approaches have limitations that might lead to late diagnosis of OC or missed diagnosis of OPMDs in high-risk individuals. The objective of this review is to present a comprehensive overview of the currently used novel techniques viz., liquid biopsy, next-generation sequencing (NGS), microarray, nanotechnology, lab-on-a-chip (LOC) or microfluidics, and artificial intelligence (AI) for the clinical diagnostics and management of this malignancy. The potential of these novel techniques in expanding OC diagnostics and clinical management is also reviewed.
