Bibliometric Analysis of Factors Associated with the Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Francisco Fernandes Pinto — 2026-09-09

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease caused by the pancreas’s inability to produce sufficient insulin or the body’s inability to use the insulin produced effectively (insulin resistance). The onset of diabetes mellitus is caused by several factors, including age, physical activity, genetic factors, metabolic factors, obesity, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, and psychological factors. The purpose of this literature review is to identify factors associated with the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This literature review was conducted by searching published results in the Google Scholar, ProQuest, and PubMed databases from 2022 to 2026 using the PRISMA method. The search terms used were “factors AND incidence AND Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.” The search identified 15 articles that met the inclusion criteria. In conclusion, factors influencing the incidence of type 2 diabetes include age, gender, occupation and socioeconomic status, family history of diabetes, Body Mass Index (BMI) and obesity, dietary patterns, physical activity, hypertension, dyslipidemia and cholesterol levels, blood glucose and metabolic factors, sleep duration, smoking, alcohol consumption, knowledge, and psychological factors/depression.

Spectrum of Rhabdomyosarcoma in a Tertiary Care Center – A 20 Year Study

Madhumita Mukhopadhyay — 2026-09-14

Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a rare tumor. It is the commonest soft tissue tumor in children. It is the third most common extracranial solid tumor in children. Head neck region was the most common sites followed by extremities, orbit, vagina, bladder and etc. Most of the cases are diagnosed in first decade of the life. The commonest histological type is Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (E RMS).

Aims and Objectives: The aim of our study was to see the distribution of RMS among children below 18 years of age. To note the distribution of age, sex of the children, site of the tumor, and the histological type of the tumor. It is classified as low, intermediate and high-risk group and the stage of the tumor also determined during presentation.

Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in a Tertiary Care Center over a period of 20 years (2001-2021). We took all the specimens came to the Department of Pathology with Clinical diagnosis of RMS. We then performed the histopathological processing of the specimens by standard technique. We also noted the history, investigations from the specimen request form.

We took the Ethics Committee approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee and took the informed consent from the patients and patient party.

Result and Analysis: There were 123 children in our study. The most common age group was 1-10 years. The most frequent site was Head Neck region. The most frequent histological type was E-RMS.

Conclusion: Early diagnosis, early implementation of management (Surgery, Chemotherapy and etc.) and patients’ awareness are necessary for the better outcome.

Yoga Prana Vidya Healing as an Adjunct in Post Surgical Recovery of Stage II Breast Cancer: A Case Report

Sushma Gupta — 2026-09-15

Background: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women worldwide. Conventional treatment involves surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy. Integrative approaches such as Yoga Prana Vidya (YPV) healing have shown promise in improving patient outcomes by reducing stress, pain, and enhancing recovery.

Case Presentation: A 48‑year‑old female, diagnosed with Stage II multifocal invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast underwent modified radical mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy. Histopathology confirmed malignancy, but lymph nodes were negative. Prognostic assessment using CanAssist Breast placed her in the low‑risk category for recurrence.

YPV Intervention: The patient received 112 healing sessions over 55 days (twice daily, 15–20 minutes each), alongside daily practice of breathing, forgiveness, meditation, and exercises, from the YPV Sadhana App. Healing protocols included psychological healing, affected organ healing, internal organ cleansing, and blood purification.

Results: Within two sessions, sleep improved from two to four hours. After 20 sessions, pain reduced by 30–40%. By 70 sessions, stiffness and pain reduced by 80–90%, enabling household work. At completion, medical tests confirmed chemotherapy was not required. The patient was placed in the low‑risk recurrence category and advised hormone therapy only.

Conclusion: YPV healing contributed to significant improvements in sleep, pain reduction, stress management, and functional recovery. This case highlights the potential of YPV as an integrative adjunct to conventional breast cancer management.

Comparison Study Between TAP Block and Morphine Bolus in Decreasing Systemic Analgesia in Postoperative Cesarean Section

Dr Rasha Abdulazeez Yahya Al-Qassab — 2026-09-21

Background: Ultrasound guided TAP block is a new technique providing analgesia for lower abdominal surgeries, safe & effective as multimodal analgesia.

Aim of the study: To compare between the TAP block & morphine in approving effectiveness in decrease the need for systemic analgesia in post-operative cesarean section under general anesthesia.

Patient and method: This study is randomized prospective study was conducted at Baghdad teaching hospital and nursing house hospital ,medical city , Baghdad , Iraq. From the date 1st of February 2016 until 1st of September 2016. Eighty patients with elective cesarean section was selected, all of them ASAII, their ages from 20-45 years and their weight from 60-100Kg. The patients were divided randomly in to 2 groups: 1st group (TAP group).40 patients 2nd group (morphine group). 40 patients Both groups conducted with the same anesthetic protocol.

Result: Ultrasound guided TAP block will decrease the need for systemic analgesic requirement compare with the opioid (morphine)bolus in postoperative cesarean section under general anesthesia.

Conclusion: Ultrasound guided TAP block is better in decrease the need for systemic analgesic requirement compare with the opioid (morphine).

Self-Reported Effects of Daily Oral Liposomal Glutathione Supplementation on Skin Appearance, Energy, And Digestive Comfort in Healthy Indian Adults: A Prospective Open-Label Pilot Study

Sunil Agarwal — 2026-09-25

Background: Indians are exposed to environmental and psychosocial oxidative stress that triggers the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that systematically deplete the endogenous antioxidant reservoir of glutathione (GSH).

Aim: The present pilot study evaluated the effect of daily oral supplementation with Cellular Prime Liposomal Glutathione (CP Lipo-GSH), formulated using Lipoedge™ technology by West Bengal Chemical Industries Limited (WBCIL), on self-reported skin appearance, energy level and digestive comfort in healthy Indian adults.

Method: Self-reported ratings (0–10 scale; higher = better) for skin look and feel, energy level, and digestive comfort were collected at Week 0 and weekly thereafter for 17 participants who took a 650 mg oral tablet/day.

Results: Of 17 participants, 11 reported improvements in skin look and feel (mean change +1.18 points; p = 0.05), 8 reported improved energy level (mean change +0.65 points; p = 0.301), and 7 reported improvement in digestive comfort, with 5 unchanged and 5 declining (mean change 0.00; p = 1.000). Digestive comfort was fully preserved at the group level.

Conclusion: These preliminary findings indicate that daily CP Lipo-GSH supplementation is associated with a positive trend in self-reported skin appearance in the majority of participants within an Indian consumer population exposed to chronic pollution- and stress-driven oxidative load, with little or no effect on digestive comfort. Larger, controlled trials are required to confirm these observations.
