Sensorineural hearing loss among type 2 diabetic patients and its association with peripheral neuropathy: a cross-sectional study from a lower middle-income country
Conclusions The study highlights the substantial prevalence of SNHL among patients with T2DM and emphasises the importance of targeted audiological care as part of a holistic approach to diabetes management. Addressing HL early may significantly improve communication and overall quality of life. (Source: BMJ Open)

Prevalence of high-risk human papillomavirus in oral squamous cell carcinoma with or without chewing habits
by Namrah Anwar, Qurratulain Chundriger, Sohail Awan, Tariq Moatter, Tazeen Saeed Ali, Maria Abdul Rasheed, Shahid Pervez Oral cancer (OC) is the most common cancer in Pakistani males and the second most common in females. Major risk factors include peculiar chewing habits, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and molecular pathways. However, less data is available for this avertible cancer regarding its association with high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) and chewing habits in this region. Therefore, this study was done to determine the prevalence of HR-HPV in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its correlation with p16 and chewi...

Duodenal quantitative mucosal morphometry in children with environmental enteric dysfunction: a cross-sectional multi-country analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Morphometric analysis of duodenal biopsy slides across geographies identified morphologic features of EED, specifically short villi, elongated crypts, and a smaller V:C ratio relative to NPA slides; although not as severe as in celiac slides. Morphometry did not explain other EED features, suggesting that EED histopathologic processes may be operating independently of morphology. While acknowledging the challenges with obtaining relevant tissue, these data form the basis for further assessments of the role of morphometry in EED.PMID:38685382 | DOI:10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.04.027 (Source: Am J Clin Nutr)
