Retraction Note: Association of Body Mass Index (BMI) and Severity of COVID- 19: A Multicentric Study from Maharashtra, India

Association of Serum Calcium Level with other Risk Factors of Ischaemic Stroke

Introduction Calcium (Ca2+) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ischemic cell damage. Intracellular Ca2+ accumulation leads to neuronal damage by triggering the cycle of cytotoxic events, however the relationship of serum Ca levels and the pathways involved in ischemic injury is unclear.…

Osteoarthritis and Frailty: Associations, Relevance, and Counter Solutions

Background Many older adults, including those who have acquired painful disabling osteoarthritis of one or more joints may be frail rather than obese as is often reported. Those older adults who are frail may acquire osteoarthritis in turn if they encounter excess joint stresses and injury. Aims Thi…
