Background: The physiological equilibrium of the entire human body's metabolism is significantly influenced by thyroid hormones. Subclinical hypothyroidism, which is often concealed, is connected to iron deficiency anemia and various other hematological disorders. We in the current study tried to determine the prevalence and severity of iron defici...

Background: Infertility is a crucial global public health issue that affects millions of people of reproductive age. Fertility-related stress can negatively impact infertile couples’ quality of life (QoL). Aims: This study aimed to assess and compare the psychometric properties of fertility QoL between primary infertile couples’ male and female...

This chapter aimed to assess the presence of SARC-CoV-2 in semen and its effect on semen quality, thereby providing insights into the early impact on male reproductive function. Viral infections have been a part of human existence to date, though viruses have posed a huge threat with various outbreaks lately. These threats are associated with repro...

Background: According to the results of an electrocardiogram (ECG), a higher body mass index (BMI) indicates body fat and is linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular illnesses. A noninvasive ECG signal called P-wave dispersion (Pd) can predict the likelihood of an atrial arrhythmia and reflects atrial remodeling. Pd is calculated by computing the...

Purpose: The purpose of this meta-analysis is to study the impact of varicocele repair in the largest cohort of infertile males with clinical varicocele by including all available studies, with no language restrictions, comparing intra-person conventional semen parameters before and after the repair of varicoceles. Materials and methods: The met...

Background Anxiety and stress in COVID-19 lead to continual pro-inflammatory cytokine activity resulting in excessive inflammation. Levels of different bio indices of COVID-19 may predict clinical outcomes and the severity of COVID-19 disease and may correlate with anxiety and stress levels. Objectives To measure the level of anxiety in COVID-19 p...

Background It is well known that some viral infections may affect male fertility. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can lead to multiorgan damage through the angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 receptor, abundant in testicular tissue. However, little information is available regarding the shedding of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-C...

Introduction: Detecting low viral load has been a challenge in this pandemic, which has led to its escalated transmission. Complement activation has been implicated in pathogenesis of Covid-19 infection. Thus, evaluation of complement activation in suspected Covid-19 infection may help to detect infection and limit false negative cases thus limiti...

Peroneal neuropathy is the common mononeuropathy of the lower extremities in adults. The documented etiologies for peroneal nerve injury include trauma, traction, and external compression. Fibular neck is the most common site of common peroneal nerve (CPN) injury as the nerve lies superficial and vulnerable for injury. A 50-year-old male presented...

Introduction The clinical course of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in its long term may follow a benign course or have an adverse outcome leading to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or end-stage liver disease requiring liver transplantation. Such patients represent only a small proportion of all NAFLD cases, making case finding a real chal...

Background and Aim Tuberculosis (TB) patients may present with depression and poor sleep as co-morbidities. This presents great challenges including the stigma of increased risk of developing TB while taking care of such patients. This study aims to determine the lung functions, quality of sleep in tuberculosis patients in comparison with non-tuber...

Introduction: Stress affects different cardiovascular responses and trigger arrhythmias through Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) activation. Medical students generally tend to reduce their sleep, in order to adjust and cope with their stressful and demanding workload. Aim: To assess the correlation of QT intervals variables with quality of sleep and...

Abstract: Introduction: Age & gender related changes in cardiovagalbaroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in humans are less investigated. Here an attempt was made to assess the effect age and sex on cardiovascular parasympathetic functions. Methods: This was a prospective observational study with the Primary Data. Total 80 completely healthy subjects were s...

This study was conducted to observe the effect of Pseudomonas aeruginosa extract on different human blood cells with different interval of time. Venous blood was collected from laboratory personnel in EDTA tube. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from different clinical samples. 20 different isolates were cultured on fresh nutrient agar after 24 h...

Clinical examination of human subject in physiology clinical practicals is a part of MBBS curriculum. In present scenario; in most of the medical institutions clinical examination is conducted in physiology laboratory or demo room where patients are usually not available. Due to this Ist MBBS students may feel difficulty in assessing clinical signs...
