Objective: To gather expert opinion regarding prescription practices and management strategies for neuropathy and vitamin B12 deficiency with a special focus on methylcobalamin among clinicians in Indian settings. Methodology: This cross-sectional study utilized a 24-item, multiple-response questionnaire to gather expert opinion from specialists in managing neuropathy and vitamin B12 deficiency. The survey encompassed questions about current prescription practices, clinical observations, preferences, and experiences related to managing neuropathy and vitamin B12 deficiency in patients in routine settings. Results: The survey included 81 experts, with more than half (62.96%) of clinicians identifying diabetes as a significant confounding factor for neuropathy in patients. As indicated by 46% and 44% of the clinicians, an appropriate diet for nutrition and maintaining glycemic levels helps to overcome the progression of neuropathy. A significant proportion of experts (60.49%) reported that 26% to 50% of patients with neuropathy have vitamin B12 deficiency. Additionally, 73% of clinicians noted that diabetes mellitus is a common co-morbid condition with vitamin B12 deficiency. In patients with neuropathy complications, 74% of clinicians preferred benfotiamine alongside vitamin B12. As stated by 44% of clinicians, besides those patients with neuropathy, elderly patients are also recommended with methylcobalamin 1500 mcg. About 43% of clinicians suggested a 12-week duration for prescribing a combination of benfotiamine and methylcobalamin for patients with neuropathy. Additionally, more than half (54.32%) of clinicians favored prescribing a combination of methylcobalamin 1500 mcg, pregabalin 75 mg, and nortriptyline 10 mg tablets to patients with chronic neuropathic pain. Conclusion: The survey highlights diabetes as a significant factor in neuropathy management, emphasizing the importance of nutrition and glycemic control. A high prevalence of vitamin B12 deficiency is noted among diabetic patients with neuropathy, leading to recommendations for benfotiamine and methylcobalamin supplementation. Additionally, the use of combination therapy for chronic neuropathic pain demonstrates a comprehensive approach to improving patient outcomes.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is also called enlargement of the prostate. It is an old age disease. it is found in males. It is mostly found above the age of 50. Due to the increase in the size of the prostate, there found various symptoms like difficulty in micturition, and painful urination. Nocturia, lower abdominal pain, incontinence, intermittent. The main cause of Benign prostatic hyperplasia is testosterone excess, which converts into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by 5 alpha reductases enzyme. Dihydrotestosterone is an active form of testosterone. Which binds with the glandular tissue of the prostate gland and is responsible for increasing the size of the prostate gland.

The Buschke-Lowestein tumor, also known as giant condyloma acuminatum, is a neoplasm affecting the anogenital region. It is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). The lesion is characteristically slow-growing and warts-like, with a propensity for occurrence in the anogenital region. The preferred management approach is surgical resection. However, there is ongoing debate regarding the optimal use of radiotherapy, systemic chemotherapy, and topical agents.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life (QOL) of menopausal women in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, with a focus on understanding the sociodemographic factors and symptomatology influencing their well-being. Methods: A cross-sectional observational design utilizing semi-structured questionnaires was used. The data were collected from 320 menopausal women aged 30-60 years. Sociodemographic characteristics, menstrual history, menopausal symptoms, and QOL were evaluated using validated scales and statistical analyses. Results: Significant findings included a prevalence of hot flashes (68.3%) and depressive moods (73.1%) among the participants. Sociodemographic factors such as age (p=0.023), marital status (p=0.004), education (p=0.017), and religion (p=0.001) were significantly associated with QOL domains. Psychological symptoms, including anxiety and intrusive thoughts, significantly impacted work efficiency (p=0.014), family relationships (p=0.035), and home responsibilities (p=0.002). Overall, 70.0% of participants reported poor QOL, highlighting the substantial burden of menopausal symptoms on daily functioning and social interactions. Conclusion: Improving menopausal women's quality of life in Port Harcourt requires accessible education, tailored healthcare, and supportive policies. Integrating menopause awareness into primary healthcare and offering psychological support are crucial for symptom management and overall well-being. Empowering women with targeted resources and supportive environments will effectively enhance their quality of life during this life transition.

The ANCA-Associated Vasculitis is a group of rare diseases that affect blood vessels and are related to the presence of specific antibodies called antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). While respiratory and kidney involvement are the most common in ANCA-associated vasculitis and thus are part of the classification criteria, it is important to remember that vasculitis are diseases with the potential to cause multi-organ damage. We present this case to emphasize that a sequential approach is necessary for decision-making regarding treatment to prevent complications and improve quality of life, especially when they are refractory to first-line treatment.

Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a rare granulomatous skin disorder commonly associated with diabetes but may also occur in non-diabetic individuals. We present the case of a 52-year-old non-diabetic woman with NL, highlighting the rarity of its presentation and the importance of considering alternative etiologies such as autoimmune disorders and thyroid abnormalities. Clinically, NL manifests as erythematous papules merging into plaques with central atrophy, predominantly affecting the lower limbs. Diagnosis is confirmed through dermoscopy and histopathology, revealing characteristic features such as granulomatous inflammation and necrobiotic collagen. Therapeutically, there are no standardized guidelines for NL management due to its low prevalence. Topical glucocorticoids are commonly used but carry risks of skin atrophy and other adverse effects. Calcineurin inhibitors, such as tacrolimus, offer a safer alternative, especially in atrophic lesions. Biological therapies, including TNF-α inhibitors and Janus kinase inhibitors, have shown promise in severe cases. Despite various treatment options, strict glycemic control does not appear to prevent NL development or progression, and spontaneous resolution occurs in about 19% of diabetic cases after an average of 12 years. This case emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive evaluation in NL diagnosis and highlights the potential of alternative therapies for refractory cases.

Refractory hypoglycemia in non-diabetic patients is a rare condition characterized by low blood glucose levels (< 70 mg/dL) that do not respond to the conventional treatment. It can be caused by serious underlying issues such as liver failure, adrenal insufficiency, insulin-secreting tumors, or sepsis. This form of hypoglycemia requires rapid interventions to avoid severe neurological complications. Management involves addressing the underlying cause and providing supportive measures such as glucose infusion or pharmacological agents like glucocorticoids or diazoxide. A multidisciplinary approach and early identification are key to improving the prognosis of affected patients.

Cutaneous lichenoid drug eruption (LDE) is a rare but increasingly common adverse drug reaction (ADR), often challenging to diagnose due to its clinical and histological resemblance to lichen planus (LP). We report the case of a 57-year-old man with a lichenoid eruption likely secondary to systemic antibiotics. He presented a widespread pruritic dermatosis, characterized by dark brown, lichenified plaques, particularly in the axillary folds. A punch biopsy revealed lamellar hyperkeratosis, mild acanthosis, vacuolization, and a moderate infiltrate of lymphocytes, histiocytes, and eosinophils in the superficial dermis, compatible with LDE. LDE is typically triggered by various medications, and its pathogenesis involves T-cell-mediated autoimmune damage to altered basal keratinocytes. Treatment involves discontinuing the offending drug, though recovery may take weeks to months. Corticosteroids, both topical and systemic, may be required in severe cases or when drug cessation is not feasible. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing LDE, particularly in patients on multiple medications, to ensure prompt diagnosis and management.
