“…Although visual rare and atypical presentations of meningioma have been reported before [16,17], this case highlights the importance of simple symptoms such as loss of smell and blurring of vision in cases with certain risk factors. Hence, these symptoms occurring especially in an obese individual should not be overlooked as they can be the tell-tale signs of underlying malignancy, which if resected in time can lead to dramatic improvements in the symptoms while preventing morbidity and mortality.…”

Bitemporal hemianopia is the most common visual field defect encountered in suprasellar meningiomas compressing the optic chiasma and its vascular supply. It is hard to distinguish between meningioma and tumors that arise from suprasellar, intrasellar, and infrasellar extensions. Clinical findings, hormonal levels, and radiological findings could help in labeling it as meningioma. A 53-year-old obese woman with a history of blurred vision more in the right eye, loss of smell, and a headache was diagnosed with meningioma having suprasellar, intrasellar, and infrasellar extension on neuroimaging. She developed bitemporal hemianopia, which gradually worsened over the course of six months with concomitant headaches and dizziness that was treated with analgesics leading to a delayed diagnosis. As she was symptomatic, it was decided to resect her tumor. The patient underwent an endoscopic transsphenoidal approach for tumor resection. Successful excision of the tumor was accomplished. Postoperatively on further evaluation, the patient's anosmia and the visual deficit were resolved. This instance shows that meningioma located in the sella can cause symptoms like anosmia and visual field loss, which should not be neglected. It also underlines the significance of visual field evaluation on a regular basis as this might predict radiological and symptomatic progression.

Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is a global health issue that affects both industrialized and emerging countries. With prevalence rates across all age categories in India, vitamin D deficiency is across the entire Indian continent. Regardless of the fact that there is sufficient sunlight in India which is required for endogenous vitamin D synthesis. Nutrient D inadequacy is probably going to play a significant part in the exceptionally high pervasiveness of osteoporosis, rickets, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, sicknesses and contaminations like tuberculosis in India. In India, regularly consumed foods only occasionally contain vitamin D supplements such as in dairy products. Numerous factors might contribute to vitamin D deficiency, such as skin color, lack of sunshine exposure, vegetarian eating habits, and low consuming of meals enriched with vitamin D. A sufficient amount of sun exposure, eating dietary sources of vitamin D, and fortifying foods with vitamin D can all help avoid VDD.

We reviewed experimental models of ionizing radiation (IR) disclosure and the evidence obtainable in the medical literature on mechanisms of injury to living organisms. Traditional models are based on the theory of "stochastic breaks" in single or double stands of the DNA double helix. As the model started, high doses can cause flair lethal cell destruction by damaging both DNA strands, whereas low IR doses inherently damage single-strand DNA that is easily repaired. It causes destruction and does not result in permanent damage. Exposure to low doses of IR, even years or decades later, has carcinogenic effects on both exposed and subsequent generations. The available evidence makes this classical model increasingly unacceptable, as it appears that there is Moreover, apparently normal cells that survive exposure to low doses manifest in their progeny, including monoclonal chromosomal abnormalities that are also found in non-directly irradiated cells due to the exchange of molecular signals and complex tissue reactions. Accumulate damage, including adjacent or distant cells. For all these reasons, a paradigm shift based on evidence and epigenetics is required. Erythema was common in physicians and patients exposed to radiation for long periods. Even though ionizing radiation can pose a health hazard, radiological surveillance techniques are now a common part of clinical practice because the benefits to patients far outweigh the risks. Radiation protection is his radiographic goal for safe radiation-based imaging. This analysis aims to investigate the radiation protection perception of radiologists and students in medical institutions. By law, the indication for ionizing radiation is limited to a minimum. The German Board of Radiation Protection usually published the order and measures on radiation protection in medicine and diagnostic radiology. Analysis of particular writings, national and international guidelines, legal documents, and all sources. A clear rationale for radiological examinations and approaches to minimize radiation exposure while providing relevant diagnostic information is of great importance from a radiation protection perspective.
