Introduction: Diagnosis of hypoglycemia in non-diabetics is challenging in most of the cases. Appropriate diagnosis is possible only after taking proper history and performing appropriate laboratory investigation in appropriate time. The purpose of this study is to find the spectrum of etiology of hypoglycemia in non-diabetics in a tertiary hospital in a developing world with limited resources. This may help physicians working in similar situations.Mater...

Introduction: Anger is an emotional state of feelings varying from mild irritation to intense rage, whereas aggression implies externalizing angry emotions through destructive/ punitive behavior towards other persons/objects. Although research on the relationship between testosterone and aggression is inconclusive, the WPATH SOC 7 guidelines have warned for an increase in aggression in transgender men (TM) taking testosterone treatment.Aims:<p class=...

Cigarette smoking is the major cause of disease related deaths in the world. Cigarette smoke contains many harmful chemicals, among them nicotine is the most potent one. The root cause of smoking hazards is nicotine addiction or dependence (ND). Environmental as well as genetic factors are reported to influence smoking which leads to nicotine addiction in all age groups especially. Neurexin1 is a cell adhesion protein important for synapse formation and CHRNB4 is chol...

As a lingering, often deteriorating brain disease, addiction causes neurotic drug seeking and utilization along with injurious significances to the addicts and to those living around them. Biological, genetic and a number of intrinsic and extrinsic environmental constituents are most vital in entire risk factors of drug addiction. Among addictive drugs opioid dependence is considered as the most deliberated drug abuse disorder and a major social dilemma worldwide. Opioids indu...

It is well established that the kisspeptins are the main activators of GnRH neurons and therefore essential for the onset of puberty and reproduction. Previous studies have suggested that kisspeptin neurons are possibly major targets of pro-inflammatory cytokines to regulate reproduction. SOCS (suppressor of cytokine signaling) are proteins that regulate, as it says, cytokines. They inhibit the transduction of intracellular effects caused by those molecules, once that cytokine...
