Article Abstract
Background: With the high prevalence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy among Type -2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients, diagnosis and management of subclinical peripheral neuropathy are gaining concern to prevent its complications. A wide variety of alternative lifestyle interventions emphasizing improving glycemic control, promoting weight loss, and a prudent diet were found to be effective in improving nerve conduction abnormalities individually.
Objective: To study the impact of naturopathy and yoga intervention in the prevention and management of nerve damage among T2DM-associated neuropathic signs.
Methods: In this matched control trial (gender and age-matched), 76 patients with subclinical diabetic peripheral neuropathy were recruited to (i) Intervention Group (IG), n=38 who received naturopathy and yoga-based interventions for 9 days, (ii) Control Group (CG), n=38 continued regular oral hypoglycemic medications. Neuroelectrophysiological parameters like amplitude and velocity of bilateral median motor and sensory and deep peroneal nerve, fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose Homeostatic Model for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), steady state beta cell function (%B), and insulin sensitivity (%S) were assessed at baseline and after 9 days.
Results: Weight, BMI, FBG, HOMA-IR, and %S significantly (p<0.05) improved among IG. In comparison, FBG, PPBG, %S, right median sensory amplitude, and left median sensory nerve conduction velocity had shown a significant difference between the groups.
Conclusion: A significant reduction in modifiable risk factors of neuropathy like insulin resistance and weight after the intervention shows the effectiveness of lifestyle-based naturopathy and yoga intervention in preventing peripheral neuropathy among diabetics.

A 16-year boy had a history of rash, oral ulcers, alopecia, photosensitivity, cheilitis, and weight loss, for which he was started on steroids, methotrexate, and hydroxychloroquine from outside. Three years later, he developed pericardial effusion and peripheral neuropathy, that were managed at an outside hospital. Later, he presented to us with weight loss, diffuse rash, left facial palsy, and left lateral rectus palsy.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycemia with multiple clinical manifestations and complications, such as cardiovascular disease, kidney dysfunction, retinal impairment, and peripheral neuropathy. Continuous and minimally invasive glucose monitoring is essential for effective DM management. Microneedles (MNs)-based sensing platforms offer a promising solution; however, conventional polymeric MNs suffer from limited electrochemical sensitivity due to their insufficient electroactive surface area and inefficient loading of catalytic and enzymatic components.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) are a prevalent complication of diabetes, leading to significant morbidity, mortality, and amputation rates. Chronic non-healing DFU often result from peripheral neuropathy, microvascular issues, and infection, with poor blood and oxygen supply being critical factors in delayed healing. The development of new treatments to promote blood supply and accelerate ulcer healing is a significant area of research for DFU management.

Neurotoxicity is a common and potentially severe adverse effect from conventional and novel cancer therapy. The mechanisms that underlie clinical symptoms of central and peripheral nervous system injury remain incompletely understood. For conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiotherapy, direct toxicities to brain structures and neurovascular damage may result in myelin degradation and impaired neurogenesis, which eventually translates into delayed neurodegeneration accompanied by cognitive symptoms.

Despite advances in genomic diagnostics, the majority of individuals with rare diseases remain without a confirmed genetic diagnosis. The rapid emergence of advanced omics technologies, such as long-read genome sequencing, optical genome mapping and multiomic profiling, has improved diagnostic yield but also substantially increased analytical and interpretational complexity. Addressing this complexity requires systematic multidisciplinary collaboration, as recently demonstrated by targeted diagnostic workshops.
