Diabetes mellitus is considered one of the main threats to human health in the 21st century. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder or a chronic condition where the sugar levels in blood are high. Diabetes is associated with long-term complications that affect almost every part of the body and often leads to blindness, heart and blood vessel disease, stroke, kidney failure, amputations, and nerve damage. Also it is associated with significantly accelerated rates of several debilitating microvascular complications such as nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy, and macrovascular complications such as atherosclerosis and stroke. In the present article it has been discussed about the resistance of insulin and its consequences in diabetic patients. Insulin resistance results in various disorders. Metabolic syndrome is predicted to become a major public health problem in many developed, as well as developing countries. J ou rna l o f D ia be tes & M e ta bolism
The incidence of cervical cancer is most common in underdeveloped countries than developed countries. Cervical cancer is the third most common gynecologic malignancy worldwide.

Cervical cancer can be prevented if precancerous lesions are identified early and treated promptly. Pap smears can help detect precancerous changes, which can be treated before they turn into cervical cancer. Treatment of cervical cancer relies upon on the stage of the cancer. Some Complications for the treatment of cervical cancer such as Surgery and radiation can create problems with sexual, bowel, and bladder function.

HIV and diabetes are both chronic diseases that significantly affect the human lifestyle and their quality of living. When these two diseases coexist, their treatment would be overwhelming for patients. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) became the standard of care in HIV infection. As the treatment for HIV has been developed and the access to therapy has been improved, the incidence of HIV-associated diabetes began to grow. Diabetes can be an important consequence of HAART. This review describes various metabolic complications such as AIDS-related insulin resistance, Glucose Intolerance and Hyperglycemia after HAART and also gives a brief account on the control measures.
Melanoma is the most dreadful form of skin cancer that begins in melanocytes. It is the leading cause of death from skin disease. It can occur in any part of the body that contains melanocytes. Several internal and external risk factors of the body may contribute to the development of many cancer melanomas such as unexpected exposure to UV radiation, weakened immune system, family history etc. Melanoma diagnosed at early stages is typically cured by surgical excision, but advanced stages are often deadly. Cancer stem cells (CSC) are recently proposed to be the cancer initiating cells responsible for tumorigenesis and contribute to cancer resistance. In the present review I have discussed about melanoma incidence, detection with various modes of treatment.
