Abstract

Allergic rhinitis is inflammatory reactions mediated by immunoglobulin E, after exposure to allergens. The symptoms are sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion. Allergic rhinitis can be alleviated by the use of specific probiotics selected to confer immune effects, which can be demonstrated in the intestinal tract prior to an allergic reaction. The specific strains used in this study were selected based on their anti-inflammatory properties and an expected effect in promoting a Th1 type of immune response. To review the benefits of probiotics of Lactobacillus casei L Shirota strain in preventing allergy attacks that inhibit the production of IgE, IL-4 and reduce the symptoms. To review the benefits of probiotics of Lactobacillus casei L Shirota strain in preventing allergy attacks that inhibit the production of IgE, IL-4 and reduce the symptoms. The study design was quasi-experimental with pre and post test design. The subject were 45 patients who had a history of allergic rhinitis and positif skin prickt test result and filled out the questionnaires to get the allergic symptoms. The blood samples were taken for examining the IgE and IL-4 levels then after giving milk containing probiotics for 1 month, the researcher did the same examination. The mean IgE and IL-4 levels decrease before and after supplementation probiotics from 291.88 IU / L and 22.48 pg/ml to 141.43 IU / L and 17.83 pg/ml. The result of the statistical analysis paired t-test test was p = 0.00 on IgE level and p=0,056 on IL-4 level. The allergic rhinitis symptoms decreased significantly, the presentage of patients who had persistent and moderate 17.78% to 0% , who had persistent and mild 44.44% to 4.44%, who had intermittent and moderate 13.33% to 2.22%,and who had intermittent and mild 24.44% to 93.33%.

A cross sectional quantitative study from January to May 2013 was done. Study population was civil servants in Debre Markos town. A total of 467 study participants were selected by using simple random sampling method. Data were collected by trained high school graduates and then the collected data were entered into a computer by using Epi-Data version 3.1 and analysis was performed by using SPSS version 16 for windows. Possible associations between out of pocket health expenditure and its predictors were analyzed by using both bivariate and multivariate analysis. The mean age of the study participants were 41 years. Majorities were between 25 and 44 years of age, 258 (55.2%). The level of education among the study participants indicated that most 380 (81.4%) were graduates of higher education (HE) and majority were Orthodox Christian which accounted 446 (95.5%) followed by Muslims 13 (2.8%).

Abstract

The research aimed to determine the pattern of changes in serum levels of NT-3 in the improvement of diabetic neuropathy, after doing diabetic foot exercise. A true experimental study with randomaized pre – post test control trial. A total of 36 subjects meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the exercise group or the control one with age matched systematic random sampling method. Exercise group had a significant improvement on the score of ABI (p.0.002), systolic blood pressure (p.0.014), diastolic blood pressure (p.0.055), DNS (p.0.01), DNE (p.0.001) and increased of serum level of NT-3 (p.0.049). Control group had result respectively on ABI (p.0.131), systolic blood pressure (p.0.668), diastolic blood pressure (p.0.216), DNS (p.1.00), DNE (p.0.543), and increase of NT-3 (p.0.264). The comparation results of the two groups had a significant different on the score of ABI (p.0.01), systolic blood pressure (p.0.01), diastolic blood pressure (p.0.01), DNS (p.0.01), DNE (p.0.01), and increased of NT-3 (p.0.01). Diabetic foot exercise had a peripheral affect on a clinically significant improvement based on ABI scores, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, DNS and DNE, and increase of serum level of NT-3.

Abstract

Marfan syndrome(MFS) is a connective tissue disorder that affects multiple organ systems. Cardiovascular, ocular, and skeletal abnormalities are cardinal features of the syndrome. Its incidence is among the highest of any heritable disorder.Most patients who have Marfan syndrome are usually diagnosed incidentally when they present for a routine physical examination for various reasons. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the literature, as well as describe a 22-year-old male with MFS and right hydroureteronephrosis diagnosed incidentally when he attended our hospital for complaints of fever and right loin pain. This case report emphasizes importance of “Revised Ghent criteria” for the diagnosis of MFS and highlights various clinical signs of MFS.
