Background: Sensory neuropathy occurs in hypothyroidism often early as compared to motor. Involvement of median and sural nerve is reported earliest in literature. There is controversial electrophysiological data with respect to predictors of neuropathy and its association with age and body mass index.
Objectives: Present study was aimed to find out EDX predictors of sensory neuropathy and its association with age and BMI in primary hypothyroidism patients.
Materials and Method: Total 28 out of 39 hypothyroid cases referred to clinical neurophysiology laboratory were selected for analysis. These cases satisfied the biochemical and EDX criteria. Percentages of abnormalities in different variables of nerve conduction study were calculated. Also coefficient of correlation between age, BMI and different variables evaluated for association between them if any.
Results: Study population was having age range from 23-75 years, 15 female and 13 male. Female preponderance was observed. Correlation between Age, BMI and different variables of NCV were statistically not significant. Sensory conduction velocity was most common abnormality observed (49%), followed by SNAP amplitude (42%) and onset latency (25%).
Conclusion: We concluded that age and BMI have no effect on occurrence of neuropathy in primary hypothyroidism. Sensory Conduction velocity was most common predictor of sensory neuropathy in these cases.

The paper discusses about the relationship between a firm’s performance and HR expenses of recent five to ten years of large cap organisations of India. Since these companies make a heavy impact on [ndia’s overall industrial growth and scenario, a study of this nature is considered worth doing. The study uses financial data of ten years (2008-2017) of companies that come under NIFTY. Data was collected for top 30 companies and then overall top 100 companies to understand this relationship between expenses done on employees, and profit after tax. Regression analysis is used to understand the relationship between the independent variable- employee expenses, and the dependent variable- Profit after Taxes. The interpretation is based mainly on the values of adjusted R square and p-value. The data analysis on 30 companies of Nifty Fifty says that 14% of the relationship can be explained whereas, the data analysis of top 100 Nifty companies says that 31.5% of the relationship between the two variables is explained. It establishes that there is a significant relationship between employee expenses (independent variable) and Profit after Taxes (net profit - for this study) as dependant variable. This outcome is very crucial for organisations who are always debating the kind of expenses to be done on human resources. It is of great relevance for both practicing HR managers as they are now widely treated as business partners, and business schools in India where HR as a subject specialisation is offered in management courses. A renewed respect for HR as business partner as well as a specialisation area for graduating students of management is expected.Keywords
