There is scarce data on 131I-metaiodobenzyl guanidine (131I-MIBG) therapy from the Indian subcontinent. Hence, we aim to study the safety and effectiveness of low-dose, low-specific activity (LSA) 131I-MIBG therapy in patients with symptom ..read more

Our objectives were: 1) To compare nutritional status of <5-year-old Indian children using WHO charts and synthetic Indian charts (SC) 2019. 2) To study nutritional status across wealth index categories. 3) To study nutritional status of predominantly breast-fed infants <6 months of age using both charts. Materials and ..read more

Preeta K Chugh, Aashima Dabas Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2021 25(2):142-147 Objectives: High prevalence of vitamin D deficiency mandates prescribing an appropriate form of vitamin D that allows attainment of sufficiency in a cost-effective manner. We aimed to compare vitamin D products in Indian market in terms of composition and cost in 2020 with 2013 to understand price dispersion over 7 years. Methods: Constituents, formulations, and prices of 'branded' and generic vitamin D products were sourced from various drug information compendia and online source ..read more

Proximal tubulopathy has been reported in children with primary dRTA, but the data in adults are lacking. Study Design: In this hospital record-based retrospective study, data from 66 consecutive ..read more
