Mushrooms belong to the family “Fungi” and became famous for their medicinal properties and easy accessibility all over the world. Because of its pharmaceutical properties, including anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antioxidant properties, it became a hot topic among scientists. However, depending on species and varieties, most of the medicinal properties became indistinct. With this interest, an attempt has been made to scrutinize the role of edible mushrooms (EM) in diabetes mellitus treatment. A systematic contemporary literature review has been carried out from all records such as Science Direct, PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar with an aim to represents the work has performed on mushrooms focuses on diabetes, insulin resistance (IR), and preventive mechanism of IR, using different kinds of mushroom extracts. The final review represents that EM plays an important role in anticipation of insulin resistance with the help of active compounds, i.e., polysaccharide, vitamin D, and signifies α-glucosidase or α-amylase preventive activities. Although most of the mechanism is not clear yet, many varieties of mushrooms’ medicinal properties have not been studied properly. So, in the future, further investigation is needed on edible medicinal mushrooms to overcome the research gap to use its clinical potential to prevent non-communicable diseases.

Recently, heated humidified high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) has been introduced and applied as a noninvasive respiratory support in neonates. Although HHHFNC is widely used in neonates presenting with respiratory distress, the efficiency and safety when compared with nasal continuous positive airway pressure or noninvasive positive pressure ventilation are still controversial. This review aims to evaluate the performance and applications of HHHFNC in neonates.

Extracellular fluid retained in the lungs lead to respiratory distress in both late preterm (LP) and term neonates. The relationship between urine parameters toward the diuresis and the duration of ventilation postnatally is unknown. To find the correlation between the diuretic phase with urine parameters in the first 4 days after birth and the duration of non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Serial measurements of urine osmolality (Uosm), urine sodium (UNa), and urine output (U/O) in neonates were collected at 5 time periods (T1:0-12 postnatal hours, T2:12-24 postnatal hours, T3:24-48 postnatal hours, T4:48-72 postnatal hours, T5:72-96 postnatal hours) were recorded. The correlations were analyzed in late preterm and term neonates. Ninety-seven neonates were included. Negative correlation between Uosm and U/O were observed. LP neonates (n=26) and term neonates (n=71) had differences with Uosm at T2, UNa at T4, T5, and U/O at T2, T3. Factors of U/O < 1 ml/kg/hr at T1 (odds ratio (OR) = 20.0; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.796-222.776; p = 0.015) or Uosm > 273 mOsm/L at T1 (OR = 9.0; 95% CI 1.031-78.574; p = 0.047) in LP neonates and UNa > 26.5 mEq/L at T5 (OR = 23.625; 95% CI 2.683-79.276; p < 0.01) in term neonates were associated with prolonged NIV use (> 120 hours). We speculate the significant correlation between Uosm/UNa and the diuretic phase. The LP neonates acquire earlier diuretic phase than the term neonates. The Uosm/UNa in the first few postnatal days had the correlation with the duration of NIV support.
