Abstract

This study deals with the physiological measurements of fasting blood sugar (FBG), clinical blood pressure (CBP) and smokers and their association with risk factors (obesity, gender and age) among university students. A total of 257 students (77 females and 180 males) were registered. Including 41 healthy and 42 students who were FBG; 33 were healthy and 69 were suffering from CBP; 39 non smokers and 33 students who were smokers; aged 19-26 years. A statistically not-significant connection was found between FBG, CBP and smoking with obesity rates; but a significant difference between smoking and CBP with age and gender, respectively. These findings highlight the prevalence of FBG and CBP also smoking in students and its relation to certain risk factors such as obesity, sex and age among selected student groups.

Abstract

The increasing number of cases regarding adolescent free sex is due to a lack understanding of reproductive health. Someone’s knowledge about reproductive health is believed to be closely related to what action they take. In the context of adolescence, their knowledge of reproductive health undoubtedly influences their attitude toward premarital sex. Most of premarital sex cases occur because they are lacking of knowlegde about its impact. This quasi-experiment was consucted on a senior high school in Indonesia. Subjects were 144 nine grade students, selected using purposive random sampling from a total population of 229 students. For each control and experiment groups, 72 students each were selected. The experiment group participated in the treatment of the study. Data was analyzed using paired t-test to find the differences of control and experiment groups’ knowledge and attitude. Both groups showed an increase of knowledge. However, the increase in experiment groups were more than one of the control group. There were only 10 students (14%) of experiment groups reached the category of having good understanding on the pre test and the number increased on the post to 39 students (54%).

Abstract

Methamphetamine (METH), a highly addictive drug and a strong stimulant of the central nervous system. METH abuse is increasing, especially among young people and adolescents, and therefore we wanted in this research to shed light on some of the problems resulting from meth use, especially its effect on the central nervous system, the blood-brain barrier, and Fractalkine (CX3CL1). CX3CL1 is the only member of the CX3C subcategory of chemokines, which have a major role in the central nervous system by regulating interactions between neurons, glial cells, and immune cells. It is also considered heavily involved in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI). The study was conducted on eighty people divided into three groups, thirty non addicted men as a control group(G1), taking into account and excluding, cigarette smoking, age, social and cultural conditions, and chronic diseases, also thirty people addicted to methamphetamine(G2), and twenty people addicted to methamphetamine and other narcotic substances (mix)(G3), whose ages ranged between (15-45) years and the period of methamphetamine abuse ranged between (1-7) years. The results of study showed that CX3CL1 values were higher among addicted persons compared to non addicts (G1), this difference in values shows us the effect of meth on the total values of CX3CL1.

Abstract

The objectives were to find out the alterations in serum lipid status among adult male smokers and non smokers in Maysan Province, south of Iraq, as well as to evaluate the relationship between the heaviness of smoking and dyslipidemia in smoker subjects. A comparative study was achieved on 160 men with aged 30-63 years which were grouped to smokers and nonsmokers, among them 120 individuals were smokers and the other 40 were nonsmokers. According to the intensity of smoking, the smoker group is divided again into three subgroups: mild (A), moderate (B), and heavy (C) smokers. The concentrations of total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein-c (HDL-c), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein-c (LDL-c) and very low density lipoprotein-c (LDL-c) were measured and calculated. The results revealed that concentrations of serum lipid profiles in smokers were significantly higher than that of nonsmokers except in case of high density lipoprotein-c which was significantly reduced among smokers. In addition to that the lipid profile had a significant correlation with the cigarette numbers of that smoked daily; the mean values of all lipid fractions except HDL-c were noticeably increased from group A to group C, while they were decreased in the case of HDL-C. There were significantly different between nonsmokers and different groups of the smoker, the values of TC of groups A, B, and group C were (178.6, 181.7, and 183.5) mg/dl respectively. According to similar arrangement of above smoker groups, the mean values of TG were (238.4, 245.2, and 248.7) mg/dl. In case of HDL- c, they were (31.5, 28.4, and 26.8) mg/dl. Among LDL-c level, they were (194.8, 203.8, and 204.9) mg/dl. In VLDL- c level, they were (47.7, 48.2, and 50.5) mg/dl. The findings of the study showed that smokers (especially heavy smokers) are at much greater risk of initiating atherosclerotic plaques and various heart diseases than non-smokers.
