Metabolic Risk Markers in Insulin Resistance and Non-Insulin Resistance Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus| Stephy Publishers

Image
  SOJ Diabetes and Endocrinology Care - (SOJDEC)| Stephy Publishers Abstract Aim: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most common metabolic disorder and its pathogenesis is characterized by a combination of peripheral insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretary capacity of pancreatic β cell. Over the years, there has been increasing deaths from T2DM. In Myanmar, there is little information on its causes, due to few published data on the prevalence of MS and its association with T2DM. This study aims at identifying the metabolic risk markers leading to MS in T2DM, as well as the impact of MS on the insulin resistance. Methods: Hundred T2DM patients were recruited from Diabetic Clinic, Yangon General Hospital. The clinical evaluation consisted of waist circumference, blood pressure, height and weight measurements; the biochemical analysis included determination of fasting plasma glucose, serum insulin and fasting lipid profile. Plasma glucose level was determined by the glu...

Hemoglobin Levels and Postoperative Outcome in Pediatric Surgical Patients| Stephy Publishers

Image
  SOJ Pediatrics and Clinical Neonatology  - (SOJPCN)|  Stephy Publishers Abstract Background: Postoperative outcome in children is multifactorial. Among the reported predictors of postoperative outcome, preoperative anemia has been related to adverse outcome in children. A secondary analysis was undertaken to determine the correlation between hemoglobin levels and postoperative outcome in children included in a cohort of an observational pediatric study published previously since this analysis has not been done. Objective: To determine the correlation between preoperative, intra-operative, postoperative hemoglobin levels and postoperative outcome in children in neurosurgery, abdominal and orthopedic surgery. Methods: Secondary analysis of a sub-cohort of 252 pediatric surgical patients with a median age of 62 months [12.50-144.00]. Results: Preoperative hemoglobin levels were negatively correlated to length of stay in the intensive care unit (LOSICU) (p=0.002)...

CH50 Activity and its Relationship to Antimüllerian Hormone in Patients with Infertility| Stephy Publishers

Image
  Current Investigations in Clinical and Medical Research - (CICMR)| Stephy Publishers Abstract Objective: To study the importance of immunological screening (CH50, C3, C4) to determine the correlation between the ovarian reserve and complement pathway.   Design: A cross-sectional multivariate study.   Setting: Single tertiary referral center. Patients: 40 Women with infertility diagnosis who underwent In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Intervention(s): Basal blood samples collected to measure complement pathway and antimüllerian hormone. Main Outcome Measure(s): To correlate complement pathways (CH50 levels) with AMH. Results: The complement system and ovarian reserve were studied in 40 women aged from 28-48 years (mean=37.87 years), finding the values of CH50 65-268 CAE (mean=153.2 CAE), C3 13.9- 183mg/dl (mean=128.52mg/dl), C4 11.5-106mg/dl (mean=29.86mg/dl), AMH 0.10-3.9ng/dl (mean=1.32ng/dl). A multivariate analysis comparison was also conducted yielding significan...

The Role of Transport System in Rural Development: A Case Study of Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State Nigeria| Stephy Publishers

Image
  Global Scientific Research in Environmental Science  - (GSRES) |  Stephy Publishers ISSN 2768 6124 Abstract This study was conducted to examine the role of transport system in rural development in Ehime Mbano L.G.A of Imo State. It has been observed that untarred/seasonal roads and foot track dominates in the study area. Lack of good roads in the study area has great negative impacts on the socio-economic activities of the rural communities. The observations of the area show that transport system has been faced with numerous problems due to poor road maintenance and bad road, lack of fund to construct good roads and poor road network. A total of 500 questionnaires were administered to the respondents in the selected areas of Ehime Mbano L.G. A of Imo State. The hypothesis formulated was tested using Chi-Square techniques. The result implies that the provision of transport services in rural areas is to a large extent satisfactory. Also, the result of the findings indicat...

Considerations in the Neuroscience of Adolescent Brain Development: What Clinicians Can Use| Stephy Publishers

Image
  Journal of Psychological Science and Research - (JPSSR)  |  Stephy Publishers Abstract  Neuroscience findings suggest brain immaturity and the proliferation of neurons in the frontal cortex at puberty may be significant factors affecting adolescent behaviors. The author considers these findings essential to bolster the analyst’s position to not act, in light of the impulses treating such cases can arouse. Clinical examples illustrate.  Keywords: Neuroscience of adolescence, Brain development, Separation, Clinicians, Adolescent therapy Introduction Adolescence is a developmental period of turbulence. As teenagers are unconsciously attempting to separate from their families they frequently engage in oppositional and even bizarre behaviors. Neither the child, nor, the families understand the behaviors, and, both become regressed within a matrix of discord. Often, the situation deteriorates until the family seeks professional help. Throughout my years of clini...
