Surgical Management of Diabetes

Managing Diabetic Xerosis with Moisturizers

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R,
Dry skin is common in diabetic patients, often caused by fluctuating glucose levels and a weakened skin barrier. Additionally, autonomic neuropathy may also play a role in causing dryness.1
Urea-containing moisturizers are safe and effective in xerosis management by increasing skin hydration, decreasing transepidermal water loss, and other vital mechanisms.2
Check out this Infographic explaining how moisturizers containing urea can help improve diabetic xerosis.

Managing DED with PEG-PG/HP-Guar Artificial Tear

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R,
Dry eye disease (DED) is one of the most common causes of ocular morbidity in patients presenting to an ophthalmology outpatient department. Did you know that artificial tear with hydroxypropyl guar (HP-guar) containing polyethylene glycol-propylene glycol (PEG/PG) is more effective than CMC?
Read this Infographic highlighting the effectiveness of PEG-PG/HP-Guar as tear substitutes in improving ocular surface disease index and tear film breakup time in DED patients.

Decoding ALK Fusion Oncogene Puzzle in Recurrent NSCLC

Dear Dr. Renukaprasad A R,
Did you know that anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive NSCLC patients can significantly benefit from ALK inhibitors?
  • ALK rearrangements are often but not exclusively found in lung tumors from relatively young, never, or light smokers with adenocarcinoma. However, all patients with advanced NSCLC should be tested for ALK rearrangements.
  • For patients with advanced or metastatic ALK-positive NSCLC, we recommend initial treatment with an ALK inhibitor rather than chemotherapy.
  • To gain deeper insights on this topic, click on the post link given below.
