    Abstract Objective: Scant data is available on the efficacy and safety of adding ezetimibe to high-intensity statin therapy for early and rapid reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) within 4-12 weeks of an acute-event in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We undertook this meta-analysis to address this knowledge-gap.
    Methods: Electronic databases were searched for RCTs involving patients with ACS receiving ezetimibe in intervention arm, and placebo/active comparator in control arm. Primary outcome was to evaluate changes in LDL-C levels post-ACS. Secondary outcomes were to evaluate alterations in other lipid parameters and adverse events.
    Results: From initially screened 4561 articles, data from 11 studies (20,291 patients) were analyzed. Compared to controls, patients receiving ezetimibe had significantly lower LDL-C at 7-days [MD -19.55 mg/dl(95 %CI:-36.46 to -2.63);P = 0.02;I
    Conclusion: Addition of ezetimibe to high-intensity statin therapy at the time of ACS event is associated with significantly better cholesterol reduction at day-7,1-month, 3- months and 1-year of follow-up, which translates into a significantly lower recurrent cardiovascular events post an index event of ACS.
    Concise summary of findings: Addition of ezetimibe to high-intensity statin therapy at the time of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) index event is associated with significantly better low density lipoprotein cholesterol and total cholesterol reduction at day-7, 1-month, 3-months and 1-year of follow-up, which translates into a significantly lower recurrent cardiovascular events (death from any cause, major ACS, non-fatal stroke, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke) post an index event of ACS.

    Abstract Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality globally, and hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and smoking are major cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and CAD share an exciting relationship, and recently, OSA has emerged as a non-traditional CV risk factor. OSA is characterized by episodic sleep state-dependent collapse of the upper airway, resulting in periodic reductions or cessations in ventilation, with consequent hypoxia, hypercapnia, or arousals from sleep. The oxidative stress and vascular inflammation resulting from the nocturnal hypoxia followed by reoxygenation cycles predispose the patients to the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). Untreated OSA is associated with long-term health consequences, including CVD, metabolic disorders, cognitive impairment, and depression. Paradoxically, some recent studies have reported that patients with OSA may suffer less severe CAD due to the development of collateral circulation due to repetitive hypoxia experienced due to OSA.

We undertook this meta-analysis to address this knowledge-gap.
    Methods: Electronic databases were searched for RCTs involving patients with ACS receiving PCSK9i in intervention arm, and placebo/active comparator in control arm. Primary outcome was to evaluate changes in 1-month LDL-C post ACS. Secondary outcomes were to evaluate alterations in other lipid parameters and adverse events.
    Results: From initially screened 194 articles, data from 3 studies was analyzed. After 4-weeks therapy, patients receiving PCSK9i had lower LDL-C [MD -0.95 mmol/L (95%CI:-1.51 to -0.40); P = 0.0007; I
    Conclusion: PCSK9i are highly effective in early reduction of LDL-C along with reduction of early hospital readmissions post-ACS.

    Abstract Background & aims: No meta-analysis is available analysing the role of luseogliflozin in type-2 diabetes. We undertook this meta-analysis to address this knowledge-gap.
    Methods: Electronic databases were searched for RCTs involving diabetes patients receiving luseogliflozin in intervention arm, and placebo/active comparator in control arm. Primary outcome was to evaluate changes in HbA1c. Secondary outcomes were to evaluate alterations in glucose, blood pressure, weight, lipids, and adverse events.
    Results: From initially screened 151 articles, data from 10 RCTs involving 1304 patients was analysed. Individuals receiving luseogliflozin 2.5 mg/d had a significantly lower HbA1c [MD -0.76% (95% CI: 1.01 to -0.51); P < 0.01; I
    Conclusion: Luseogliflozin has good glycaemic and non-glycaemic benefits similar to other SGLT2 inhibitors and is well tolerated.

    Abstract Background: No meta-analysis has analysed efficacy and safety of fast-acting aspart insulin (FIAsp) with insulin pump in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
    Methods: Electronic databases were searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) involving T1DM patients on insulin pump receiving FIAsp in intervention arm, and placebo/active comparator insulin in control arm. Primary outcome was to evaluate changes in 1- and 2-hour post-prandial glucose (1hPPG and 2hPPG). Secondary outcomes were to evaluate alterations in percentage time with blood glucose <3.9 mmol/L (hypoglycaemia), time in range (TIR) blood glucose 3.9 to 10 mmol/L, insulin requirements and adverse events.
    Results: Data from four RCTs involving 640 patients was analysed. FIAsp use in insulin pump was associated with significantly greater lowering of 1hPPG (mean difference [MD], -1.35 mmol/L; 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.72 to -0.98; P<0.01; I2=63%) and 2hPPG (MD, -1.19 mmol/L; 95% CI, -1.38 to -1.00; P<0.01; I2=0%) as compared to controls. TIR was comparable among groups (MD, 1.06%; 95% CI, -3.84 to 5.96; P=0.67; I2=70%). Duration of blood glucose <3.9 mmol/L was lower in FIAsp group, approaching significance (MD, -0.91%; 95% CI, -1.84 to 0.03; P=0.06; I2=0%). Total hypoglycaemic episodes (risk ratio [RR], 1.35; 95% CI, 0.55 to 3.31; P=0.51; I2=0%), severe hypoglycaemia (RR, 2.26; 95% CI, 0.77 to 6.66; P=0.14), infusion site reactions (RR, 1.35; 95% CI, 0.63 to 2.93; P=0.77; I2=0%), and treatment-emergent adverse events (RR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.80 to 1.60; P=0.50; I2=0%) were comparable.
    Conclusion: FIAsp use in insulin pump is associated with better post-prandial glycaemic control with no increased hypoglycaemia or glycaemic variability.

    Abstract We present a case of left sided inferior vena cava with hemiazygous continuation draining into the coronary sinus via the left persistent superior vena cava. This was incidentally found in an individual referred to our centre for evaluation of palpitations. These caval anomalies are rare, and are often associated with no clinical manifestations. However, it is necessary to recognize them during routine workup to avoid diagnostic and procedural pitfalls.

    Abstract Background & aims: No meta-analysis has analysed efficacy and safety of long-acting growth hormone (GH) therapy in adult GH deficiency. We undertook this meta-analysis to address this gap in knowledge METHODS: Electronic databases were searched for RCTs involving adult GH deficiency patients receiving weekly long-acting GH as compared to daily GH/placebo controls. Primary outcome was to evaluate changes in body-composition parameters. Secondary outcomes were to evaluate alterations in glycaemia and adverse-events.
    Results: Data from 5 studies involving 648 patients were analysed (4 studies having daily GH as active controls; 1 study having placebo as passive controls). Over 24-34 weeks clinical use, patients receiving long-acting GH had comparable change in lean mass [MD-0.28 kg (95%CI: 0.94 - 0.38); P = 0.41; I
    Conclusion: Long-acting GH has comparable beneficial impact on body composition parameters in adult GH deficiency, is well tolerated without any increased adverse events.

    Abstract Since its inception in Wuhan in December 2019, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has shattered the economies and health-care infrastructures worldwide. Even the best of health-care systems (United States, Italy) have been overwhelmed and collapsed because of this unprecedented pandemic. India is preparing itself for the onslaught of Coronavirus. After recording its first case on January 30th, 2020, the rise was slow until the last week of March. However, since then, the number of cases has increased exponentially, and as on April 14th, 2020, there have been more than 10,000 cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in India, which has resulted in more than 350 deaths.
