- Secondary analysis of NFHS 5 (2019–2021; n=788974) identified 1351 low BMI diabetes cases (BMI<18.5 kg/m², FBG ≥126 mg/dL, RBG ≥200 mg/dL)
- Weighted prevalence was 0.19%, & higher in males (0.25% vs 0.18%, p=0.006) & concentrated in poorest quintiles (54%), national estimate on adjusting for 50% undiagnosed cases was 2.42 M Indians <50 y
- “T5DM” burden is lower, lean T2DM driven by visceral adiposity predominates.

- RSV- acute respiratory illness(ARI) in adults ≥50 (n=14,759) showed striking risks vs controls (n=73,795): all-cause mortality (HR 10.77 within 0–30 days); myocardial infarction risk mirrored mortality
- Compared with controls, RSV-ARI had significantly higher adjusted risks of asthma/COPD exacerbations and heart failure hospitalization
- Outcomes were broadly similar to influenza-ARI (n=77,468), underscoring RSV’s lon...

- The correlation of general obesity based on BMI and central obesity based on WHR with premature mortality (<75 years) was assessed
- Over 10.1 years, 3.36% died prematurely
- Both obesity types increased all-cause and CVD-related mortality risks, with highest risk in individuals having both
- Normal-weight central obesity also raised risk, highlighting importance of WHR in obesity assessment and prevention strategies...

- Case series of 8 patients (5 males, mean age 61.8 y) with recurrent oral/labial HSV-1 showed unusual features: solitary ulcers (75%), papule (12.5%), whitish plaque (12.5%), often on tongue border (50%)
- Lesions also on ventral tongue, palate, ridge crest, lip (12.5% each), only 2 patients were immunosuppressed
- Histopathological diagnosis is crucial as immunocompetent patients may have such unusual presentation.
