Neurotropic B group vitamins play crucial roles as coenzymes in the nervous system. Particularly Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) & Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) contribute essentially to the maintenance of a healthy nervous system. Vitamin B1 acts as a site-directed antioxidant; Vitamin B6 balances nerve metabolism; Vitamin B12 maintains myelin sheaths.Their importance is highlighted by many neurological diseases related to deficiencies in one or more of these vitamins. Deficiencies of these vitamins can occur mainly in elderly individuals, diabetics, alcoholics, dialysis patients, patients with gastrointestinal diseases etc. and may lead to neurological disturbances e.g. Peripheral neuropathy. On the other hand neurological adverse effects like ataxia, sensory neuropathy etc. have been demonstrated with long-term or high dose use of these vitamins specially Vitamin B6

What is NIPT Test?
NIPT is a simple, safe, and non invasive prenatal screening test that provides assurance to expectant parents with accurate genetic information about their babyNIPT Test uses advanced bioinformatics technology to evaluate fetal DNA (of placental origin) in maternal blood to identify genetic variations leading to disorders.
What are the conditions that NIPT, NIPT Twins, and NIPT Advanced can detect?
NIPT can detect common Aneuploidies and Sex Chromosome Abnormalities.
NIPT
Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome)
Trisomy 18 (Edwards’ Syndrome)
Trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome)
Turner Syndrome (Monosomy X/XO)
Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY)
Triple X (XXX)
Jacob’s Syndrome (XYY)
NIPT Advanced
Rare Autosomal Aneuploidies (RAA) include trisomies in chromosomes other than 21, 18 and 13 and monosomies in all 22 chromosomes.
NIPT Advanced screens for RAAs in addition to Trisomy 13, 18, 21 and sex chromosomes.
NIPT Twins
Trisomy 21
Trisomy 18
Trisomy 13
N-terminal precursor of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) are released from myocardial cells in response to volume expansion and increased wall tension. They are well established rule-out tools for cardiac disease in unselected communities. NT-proBNP value <125 pg/mL excludes cardiac dysfunction with a high level of certainty in patients presenting with dyspnea. As the value increases heart failure becomes more likely. NT-proBNP levels are correlated with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classes for CHF. However, the role of natriuretic peptides extends beyond heart failure diagnosis; it is a clinical support tool in risk stratification & management in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Recent studies have shown that it can also be used for Cardiovascular risk assessment in asymptomatic patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
