Hello!
Anyway, the study group discussions are too many and someone requested them to be separated from posts written by me from the contents page. So we're separating our posts from study group posts written by more than 800 people, indirectly xD
Enjoy browsing through them!

Hey!
DeleteThank you so much for all the compliments =)
You could try these research topics:
What is the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism in teenagers? (This would involve simple questionnaire + blood test.)
Is diabetes linked to depression? (This would be based on a questionnaire to screen depression in diabetic patients)
Just try to find an association or count of people with two conditions. These are very simple research topics.
More complex topics:
Is. dementia associated with hypoglycemia?
Does myopia have a protective effect on diabetic retinopathy?
Is vitamin D contributory to symptomatic neuropathy?
Hope it helps you, love.
Ika:
Delete"Paediatrics" is spelled incorrectly in the heading of the study group section (UK spelling Paediatrics, as opposed to US "Pediatrics" Spelling) NOT "Peadiatrics" in any case
Thank you for the correction :)
