This weight gain has been linked to increases in serum leptin levels. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the relationship between leptin levels and Body Mass Index (BMI) in DMPA acceptors. Methods: This study is an analytical observational study with a Prospective Cohort design. The sample consisted of 61 women with DMPA injection at the Health Center in Makassar. Statistical analysis used Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Wilcoxon test. DMPA acceptors (from the 6-12th month) was increase in BMI (obesity) Results: Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between the duration of DMPA use and BMI (P < 0.001). Serum leptin levels was increase after DMPA use (6-12th month). Statistical analysis showed a significant relationship between the duration of DMPA use and leptin levels (p < 0.001). A significant relationship was observed between BMI and leptin levels at the 12th month of DMPA use (p < 0.001), but not at the 6th month (p > 0.05). Conclusions: The use of DMPA at the 12th month resulted in an increase in leptin levels and Body Mass Index (obesity

ANALYSIS OF GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE IN NON-ALBUMINURIC AND ALBUMINURIC TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS IN EARLY DETECTION OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Introduction: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a frequent complication of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and is generally tracked through albuminuria and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Although albuminuria is a widely recognized indicator of CKD, its absence does not necessarily exclude the possibility of kidney dysfunction.Objectives: To compare the GFR between non-albuminuric and albuminuric patients with T2DM and to evaluate the effectiveness of GFR measurement in the early detection of CKD in T2DM patients.Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in V.M.K.V. MEDICAL COLLEGE HOSPITAL, Department of General Medicine, between October 2023 and July 2024. The study included 100 consecutive patients with diabetes mellitus attending the OPD. Laboratory investigations were done, such as serum urea, serum creatinine, HbA1c, serum albumin, FBS, PPBS, hemoglobin, urine routine, and lipid profile.Results: The mean age group of Non-albuminuric DM patients was 55.4±11.38 years and for Albuminuric DM patients was 53.64±10.82 years, in both the groups males were predominate with 74.0% and 78.0% in Non-albuminuric and albuminuric patients. The Prevalence of impaired GFR among the study subjects was found to be 39.0%. The Estimated GFR in mL/min per 1.73 m2 of the study subjects was found to be > 60 in 61.0% of patients followed by 30-59 (26.0), 15-29 (11.0), and <15 in 2.0% of patients. Conclusion: The Present study results found the necessity for regular monitoring of renal function and urinary albumin levels in diabetic patients, as early identification of albuminuria can facilitate timely interventions to slow the progression of kidney disease

ROLE OF PHYSIOTHERAPY IN PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF EXERCISE INDUCED BRONCHOSPASM AND BRONCHIAL ASTHMA

Exercise-induced bronchospasm and bronchial asthma are widespread respiratory disorders that can significantly limit physical activity and reduce quality of life. Physiotherapy plays an essential role in the prevention, management, and treatment of these conditions by improving airway function, boosting respiratory efficiency, and enhancing exercise capacity. This review examines the contribution of physiotherapy in managing exercise-induced bronchospasm and bronchial asthma through a combination of interventions such as breathing exercises, airway clearance techniques, postural drainage, and physical conditioning. By focusing on strategies that enhance lung function and decrease bronchial hyperresponsiveness, physiotherapists enable individuals with asthma or exercise-induced bronchospasm to engage in physical activity in a safe and effective manner. The review also highlights the scientific evidence supporting physiotherapy interventions and offers recommendations for incorporating these approaches into asthma management strategies to improve both short-term results and long-term respiratory health
