Abstract

Leprosy remains endemic in several country, where the disease is still considered as a health burden. The development of the disease is determined by several factors, amongst which that play significant role are close household contact and impaired immunity. Maternal index case significantly associated with leprosy case in children and nutritional status plays a pivotal role in shaping the immune response against the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae. Thus, this paper aims to evaluatethe association between nutritional status and leprosy, especially in maternal and child leprosy. The study was conducted in Tuban, Indonesia. We foundsignificant difference in haemoglobin, red blood cells, and haematocrit levels in subject with maternal leprosy in the group of child without leprosy and leprous mother compared to the control group. The difference in haemoglobin and haematocrit level are also associated with child leprosy in the group of child with leprosy and mother with leprosy.In addition, although no significant association on BMI were observed, we found that the child whose mother contracted leprosy has a lower BMI compared to the other groups

Abstract

Introduction: Anemia is a state of decreased level of hemoglobin below normal. WHO defines anemia as hemoglobin level below 10.5 gm/dl in 2nd trimester, below 11 gm / dl in 1st and 2nd trimesters and below 10gm/dl postpartum. The Aim of this study to estimate prevalence of anemia in pregnancy in Tuz city, Saladin governorate. Subjects and Methods:This study was conducted at the beginning of November 2019 to the end of February 2020. 150 women at child bearing age were participated in this study (100 pregnant women collected randomly from those attending antenatal care center in Tuz General Hospital in Saladin governorate and 50 healthy non pregnant women collected randomly as control.). Written consent was taken from each woman participating in the study after expanding the aim of the study for each subject. In the laboratory of the hospital, 3 ml of cubital venous blood had been drawn from each patient using disposable syringes and needles.The same automated analyzer had been used to perform complete blood count (CBC) and 5 parameters had been estimated for each patient. Results: 96% of non-pregnant women had normal hemoglobin level and 4%of them had mild to moderate anemia. Among pregnant women, 4% of them severe anemia, 65% of them had mild to moderate anemia, and 31% of them had normal hemoglobin level. Among pregnant women in 1st trimester, 27.8% of them had mild to moderate anemia and 72.2% of them had normal hemoglobin level. Among pregnant women in 2nd trimester, 8,3% of them had severe anemia, 75% had mild to moderate anemia, 16,7% of them had normal hemoglobin level. Among pregnant women in 3rd trimester, 2,2% had severe anemia, 71,7% had mild to moderate anemia and 26,1% had normal hemoglobin level.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in postmenopausal women in light of restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic.Methods: This was a single-center cross-sectional study with total of 167 women patients (post-menopausal :133, pre-menopausal: 24) who were divided into two groups according to age.Result: There were significant negative links between serum T4 hormone levels and each of serum calcium values (r=-0.049, p <0.001) in post-menopausal. Serum T4 hormone levels are negatively correlated to TSH hormone levels (r=-0.032, p < 0.001) but T3 hormone levels shows significantly negative correlation (r=-0.277p<0.001). The correlation between serum T4 hormone levels vs Glucose in patients was significantly negative (r= -0.017, p <0.001),The results show that significant decrease(p<0.01) in serum levels T4, T3 hormone, vit. D in post-menopausal women compared as compared to pre-menopausal, correlation of vitamin D with serum calcium (0.23 and T4, hormone (0.137) was significantly positive, and high fasting glucose in post-menopausal as compared to pre-menopausal . Conclusion: Baseline serum vitamin D levels are inversely related with thyroid hormone in post-menopausal women

Abstract

Background: it has been always a challenge to differentiate keratoacanthoma (KA) from squamous cellcarcinoma (SCC) and trichoepithelioma (TE) from Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC). K-i67, a nuclear marker, isa protein whose expression is strictly related to cell proliferation. Therefore, this can be used as an excellentproliferative marker to differentiate between benign and malignant skin lesions.Aim of the Current Study: this study was conducted to investigate the quantitative differences in nuclearexpression of the proliferative index (Ki-67) in SCC, KA, BCC and TE.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study enrolling 65 patients selected from private dermatologicaloutpatients clinics at Ibn-Sina Teaching Hospital, Mosul, Iraq diagnosed clinically by dermatologists asBCC, SCC, KA, and TE during the period from Jan 2019- Jan 2020. Their biopsies were sent for routinehistopathological study and additional Immunohistochemical staining using a Ki-67 marker.Results: Ki- 67 expression was seen in all cases ranging in intensity between 3-70%. Moderate expressionwas noticed in (79%) of BCC cases whereas (43%) of well-differentiated SCC cases had mild expression.Quite the reverse, the intensity of Ki-67 immunostaining ranged from 1-20% and 1-5% in KA and TErespectively.Conclusion: Ki-67 can be used as a significant biological marker to differentiate between benignity andmalignancy of overlapping
