Abstract

Background and Objectives: The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing worldwide. Obesityis related to morbidity and mortality. High sensitivity C - reactive protein (hs-CRP) is an importantinflammatory marker to predict cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to correlate between hs-CRP levelsand BMI among healthy adults.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 healthy adults from May 2019 toOctober 2019. The study population was divided into four groups based on BMI; normal, overweight, obeseI, and obese II. Hs-CRP level was measured in all groups. Multiple linear regression analysis was done tofind out the independent factors affecting hs-CRP.Results: Out of 200 participants, 56 (28%) had normal BMI, 43(21.5%) were overweight, 57(28.5%) wereobese group I and 44 (22%) were obese group II. The mean hs-CRP of the normal weight and overweightparticipants was 1.03 mg/dl and 1.37 mg/dl respectively (p= 0.725), then there was a marked increase to3.75 mg/dl and 7.69 mg/dl among the obese I and obese II participants respectively (p < 0.001). A positivesignificant correlation was found between the hs-CRP levels and the BMI (r = 0.436, p < 0.001). The onlyfactor that was independently associated with the high hs-CRP was the BMI (B = 0.357, p < 0.001).Conclusion: Rising BMI was significantly correlated with hs-CRP. The higher the BMI, the higher willbe plasma hs-CRP levels, suggesting the presence of chronic systemic inflammation which might lead tocardiovascular events in the future.

Abstract

Background: Infertility can be defined asan absence of pregnancy after 12 months of regular unprotectedsexual intercourse,the most important of the sperm function disorders are reduced sperm motility(asthenospermia). Photobiomodulation have an effect on the decrease of the sperm disorder. Materialsand Methods: Diode laser with wavelength of 410nm was used to induce the sperm motility in anasthenozoospermia human seminal fluid in vitro,20 fresh seminal fluids samples were used in this study andeach sample was divided into two parts, one of them non-irradiated by laser light (control) and the other wasexposed to laser irradiation with exposure time of 30 secondsof 410nm diode laser with 0.67 W/cm2, powerdensity. Results: Progressive motility was significantly increase while non- progressive motility was nonsignificantly increased and the immotile spermswere significantly decreased at 5 min following irradiationcompared to non-irradiated samples,while at 15,30,45 minfollowing irradiation begin to decreased. Wefound that low power laser could induce a short term bio stimulation effect on sperm motility

Abstract

Background: Forensic odontology, a branch of dentistry includes identification of individuals in variouscrime scenes, natural calamities, and mass disasters. The identification is possible because every individualbody is unique and so is our tongue due to its morphological variations. The primary objective of the studywas to assess the morphological features of the tongue and its use in sex determination.Methods: The study included a sample size of 100 individuals (50 males and 50 females) in the age rangeof 20-50 years old. Photographs were taken of front and side view of the tongue; visual inspection wasdone and lastly impressions of the tongue were made with help of alginate and then poured with the helpof dental stone. IBM SPSS statistics 20.0 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA) was used for the analysesof the data. Microsoft word and Excel were used to generate graphs, tables etc. Females presented withtriangular shape, presence of shallow fissures more commonly and a sharp lingual apex of tongue. Malespresented with rectangular shape, presence of deep fissure/absence of fissures more commonly and septate/sharp lingual apex of the tongue.Conclusion: Tongue exhibits various unique characteristics and can be used in sex determination.
