Renal tubular acidosis: Varied aetiologies and clinical presentations: Three case reports.

Background: Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) refers to a group of kidney disorders characterized by defective acid excretion or bicarbonate reabsorption, leading to metabolic acidosis. This case series presents three cases of RTA with distinct etiologies and clinical manifestations. These cases emphasize the necessity of a comprehensive evaluation of RTA, considering both renal and systemic origins.

Unraveling BURnout Determinants among ENdocrinologists in Indian conText (UNBURDEN-IT).

Introduction: Burnout is a growing concern among healthcare providers, with varying prevalence by specialty. While reports suggest that up to half of endocrinologists experience burnout, few systematic studies exist to identify the factors responsible.

Methods: We conducted an electronic survey of practicing endocrinologists across India.

Metabolomics studies in cushing's syndrome: recent developments and perspectives.

Introduction: Exogenous Cushing's syndrome is the result of long-term exposure to glucocorticoids, while endogenous Cushing's syndrome occurs due to excessive production of glucocorticoids within the body. Cushing's syndrome remains a diagnostic challenge for the treating physician.Mass spectrometry, with its better resolution, detectability, and specificity, paved the way to understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in several diseases that facilitated the evolution of biomarkers and personalized medicine, which can be applicable to manage Cushing's syndrome as well.

"They Surge-on…The Journey of an Early Career Plastic Surgeon in India as I see it".

The journey to becoming a plastic surgeon is a long one. Most nonsurgeons are unaware of the actual scope of plastic surgery and the spectrum of surgeries done by plastic surgeons. The constant look-out for "cutting chances" from early in the career can be quite exhausting and may take a toll on the professional relationships as well as personal lives of plastic surgeons.

Assessment of the Practices and Perspectives of Healthcare Providers Towards Utilization of Telemedicine for the Care of Adult Patients With Diabetes Mellitus During the COVID-19 Pandemic in India.

Background and purpose The lockdowns and restrictions enforced periodically during the COVID-19 pandemic posed a serious challenge for non-COVID care, especially in diabetes where telediabetes, the utilization of telemedicine consultations for diabetic care, became more necessary than ever before. Although studies have shed light on the perception of patients, there is a paucity of studies from the perspective of healthcare providers, especially in an Indian context. Moving forward, it is imperative to understand the perspectives of telediabetes providers in this domain.

PURsuit of Endocrinology (PURE): A National Survey among First-Year Endocrinology Residents Across India.

Background: Endocrinology has been a popular choice of super-specialisation in India in recent years. The PURsuit of Endocrinology (PURE) survey aims to determine the factors that facilitated the selection of endocrinology as the area of super-specialisation among first-year residents across India.

Methods: We conducted an electronic questionnaire-based survey among first-year residents across India.

Optimal use of once weekly icodec insulin in type-2 diabetes: An updated meta-analysis of phase-2 and phase-3 randomized controlled trials.

Background: Previously published meta-analysis have analysed data from 3 small phase-2 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Since then, 5 big phase-3 RCTs have been published on use of icodec in type-2 diabetes (T2D). This updated systematic review aimed to establish the best practices and safety of icodec in T2D.

Predictors of hypopituitarism due to vasculotoxic snake bite with acute kidney injury.

Purpose: Hypopituitarism frequently develops following vasculotoxic snake bite complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI). Well defined prospective studies of prevalence of hypopituitarism and its predictors in vasculotoxic snake bites complicated by AKI are unavailable.

Methods: Fifty-one consecutive patients of AKI following vasculotoxic snake bite were evaluated for various clinical/biochemical parameters (including Free T4, TSH, Cortisol, ACTH, total testosterone, FSH, LH, prolactin, and IGF-1).
