The Himalayan glaciers are facing an alarming rate of melting, with recent studies revealing that they are melting 65% faster than they were just a decade ago. This acceleration is a cause for concern as it threatens water supplies for millions of people who rely on the glacier-fed rivers in the region. The Himalayas are known as the “Third Pole” due to the vast ice reserves they hold, but climate change is rapidly depleting these precious resources. Urgent action is needed to mitigate the impacts of global warming and preserve the delicate balance of this vital ecosystem.

Understanding and Managing Central Diabetes Insipidus in Adults
Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) results from vasopressinergic neuron loss or dysfunction, causing impaired arginine vasopressin (AVP) synthesis or secretion. AVP deficiency leads to the inability to concentrate urine, causing hypotonic polyuria. Typically caused by neoplastic, traumatic, or autoimmune damage to AVP neurons, CDI’s diverse etiologies are explored in this review. Advances like the copeptin assay […]
