“Em nome da mãe”: performatividades e feminizações em um CRAS
Authors: Detoni Priscila Pavan , Machado Paula Sandrine , Nardi Henrique Caetano
Published: January 2018

Resumo: Neste artigo, são apresentadas descrições etnográficas de um Centro de Referência de Assistência Social (CRAS), equipamento do Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS), com o intuito de compreender a performatividade de gênero e sexualidade na Política Nacional de Assistência Social (PNAS). A proposta de diminuição das desigualdades de gênero é um dos propósitos desta política que reconhece as mulheres como agentes da proteção social, principalmente no contexto familiar. A forma como essas políticas vêm se organizando acaba por performatizar as feminizações por meio de uma “biopolítica da maternidade” que se operacionaliza, de forma concreta, nas práticas, repercutindo diretamente nos processos de subjetivação e na configuração da gestão das relações familiares e sociais.

A miragem do carburante nacional: árvores, açúcar e o terreno da construção de combustíveis alternativos no Primeiro Governo Vargas (1930-1945)
Authors: MEIRA Roberta BARROS , CARELLI Mariluci NEIS
Published: January 2018

Resumo Enquanto solução para a crise de superprodução açucareira, fator de equilíbrio para a balança comercial, exploração de recursos naturais e de estratégia militar, os combustíveis alternativos ilustraram vários discursos durante o Primeiro Governo Vargas. O presente artigo visa analisar o papel desempenhado pelas políticas de fomento à produção de combustíveis alternativos no Brasil. Nesse sentido, ele centra a sua análise nas ideias, na circulação de tecnologia e nas tensões geradas pelo aumento da utilização desses combustíveis alternativos. Outro aspecto a ponderar será a silvicultura e a agricultura científica que se tornaram locus privilegiado dos discursos em prol do uso racional das florestas e do solo. Assim, propõe-se discutir as ideias de acadêmicos, técnicos, estadistas e agricultores na construção do que se chamou “combustíveis nacionais”. Sobre o assunto, as revistas agrícolas, a legislação florestal e açucareira, os trabalhos técnicos do Ministério da Agricultura, Indústria e Comércio e do Instituto do Açúcar e do Álcool foram de crucial importância. A abordagem do fortalecimento das políticas de combustíveis alternativos permite que se compreenda a forte ênfase dada à autossuficiência energética em um quadro maior de crise açucareira, agricultura predatória e devastação do patrimônio florestal.

ABSTRACT Objective: This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and severity of dental caries, missing and restored teeth (DMFT) and the efficiency of oral health programs for patients with intellectual disabilities, from age 11 to 38, who attended at the Association of Exceptional Children’s Parents and Friends (APAE) in Passo Fundo, southern Brazil. Methods: The prevalence of dental caries was assessed by DMFT in 109 patients. The mean and standard deviation were evaluated by One-way ANOVA with 5% significance level. Results: 47 of the evaluated students were female and 62 male, with moderate mental disability, Down syndrome, cerebral paralysis and epilepsy. The DMFT average was 3.93 for 11-14 years, 3.47 for 15-19 years, 4.74 for 20-30 years and 5.68 for the group 31-40 years. There were no significant differences among the DMFT index, gender and intellectual disability for the groups. Conclusion: Patients had acceptable oral hygiene within their limitations, suggesting that prevention and dental care program developed in APAE-PF/RS could be used as a model for health care for patients with intellectual disabilities in other institutions and other cities.

Published: January 2018

RESUMO Objetivo: Identificar critérios de seleção para a rizotomia dorsal seletiva (RDS) na paralisia cerebral (PC), analisar os instrumentos de avaliação e descrever as características da fisioterapia nos protocolos pós-operatórios. Fontes de dados: Revisão do tipo integrativa nas bases de dados SciELO, PEDro, Cochrane Library e PubMed. Os termos em português e inglês “paralisia cerebral”, “rizotomia dorsal seletiva” e “fisioterapia” foram utilizados na busca. Os critérios de inclusão foram: artigos que arrolaram indivíduos com PC, que realizaram fisioterapia nos protocolos de RDS e que descreviam características desses protocolos. Foram excluídos artigos de revisão da literatura e não houve restrição de período de publicação. Síntese dos dados: Incluíram-se 18 estudos, sendo a maioria coortes prospectivas, com acompanhamento dos pacientes de oito meses a dez anos. Os instrumentos das avaliações contemplam, na maior parte dos trabalhos, os domínios de funções e estruturas corporais e atividade. O percentual de secção das raízes posteriores foi próximo a 50%. A principal indicação para a RDS incluiu deambuladores com diplegia espástica, que preenchiam os seguintes critérios: espasticidade que interfere com a mobilidade, boa força muscular de membros inferiores e tronco, sem deformidades ortopédicas, distonia, ataxia ou atetose e boa função cognitiva. A fisioterapia é parte integrante dos protocolos de tratamento com RDS, devendo ser intensiva, específica e enfatizada principalmente no primeiro ano. Conclusões: Os estudos salientam a importância da seleção adequada dos pacientes para o sucesso dos resultados. A fisioterapia é intensiva e de longa duração, devendo necessariamente ter estratégias para modificar o antigo padrão motor.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre estado nutricional, função pulmonar e morbidade em coorte de 36 meses de crianças e adolescentes com fibrose cística (FC). Métodos: Coorte prospectiva de 36 meses, com crianças e adolescentes com FC e idade entre 1 e 15 anos. No tempo inicial, o estado nutricional foi determinado a partir dos indicadores: peso-para-estatura e índice de massa corporal-para-idade, para crianças <2 anos e ≥2 anos, respectivamente, e classificado em: falência nutricional, risco nutricional e estado nutricional aceitável; também foi determinado por meio do percentil 50°, de acordo com a curva de crescimento da World Health Organization (WHO). A função pulmonar foi avaliada pelo volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo (VEF1). A morbidade foi determinada pela presença de infecção e hospitalização por exacerbação pulmonar. Foi calculado risco relativo (RR) e intervalo de confiança (IC95%), considerando significante p<0,05. Resultados: Foram avaliadas 38 crianças e adolescentes (mediana de idade 3,8 anos). Os pacientes classificados em falência nutricional no início do estudo mostraram um RR de 5,00 (IC95% 1,49; 16,76) para o comprometimento da função pulmonar após 36 meses. Aqueles classificados abaixo do percentil 50° apresentaram RR de 4,61 (IC95% 0,89; 23,81) para o desfecho. O estado nutricional não foi fator de risco para morbidade. Conclusões: O déficit nutricional esteve associado ao comprometimento da função pulmonar, mas não com a morbidade em crianças e adolescentes com FC.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to compare the influence of continuous intravenous infusion of tramadol alone, or tramadol combined with lidocaine and ketamine, on minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane (MACsevo) of dogs undergoing an ovariohysterectomy (OHE). We used 28 healthy dogs of various breeds and age, randomly divided into two groups according to the infusion given: TRA (tramadol alone) or TLK (tramadol, lidocaine and ketamine). The patients were premedicated with acepromazine and midazolam, and then anesthesia was induced with propofol and maintained with sevoflurane. Fifteen minutes after induction, the patients received their loading dose of treatment. Then, the continuous infusion was then set to 1.3mg/kg/hour of tramadol with or without 3mg/kg/hour of lidocaine and 0.6mg/kg/hour of ketamine, diluted in a 500mL bag of saline solution at an infusion rate of 10mL/kg/hour. The Dixon method was chosen to determine the MACsevo and a skin incision was used as a noxious stimulus. An unpaired Student’s t-test was used to identify statistically significant differences between the treatments. These differences were considered significant when p<0.05. The MACsevo of the TRA group was 1.22±0.15 vol% and the MACsevo of the TLK group was 0.85±0.22 vol%. We conclude that TLK infusion decreased the MACsevo by 30.22% compared to tramadol alone, demonstrating that the combination of drugs was effective in reducing MACsevo in dogs.

Published: January 2018

Qualitative program evaluation is an effective tool allowing agencies and clinicians to provide holistic validation of innovation in clinical settings. Counselor educators can introduce models of qualitative program evaluation in both agency settings and counseling master's programs to enhance the development of clinical evaluation in the community and to integrate clinical and evaluative identities in clinical mental health practitioners and students. This article defines qualitative program evaluation and logic models and introduces methodologies that may be effective in clinical settings. Developing a logic model provides a structure that guides qualitative inquiry, and general categories of logic models are defined. Specific qualitative program evaluation models appropriate to clinical settings are also identified and defined. Recommendations for incorporating qualitative program evaluation into clinical practice and counselor education programs are discussed.

Published: January 2018

Individuals seeking treatment for substance use disorders frequently have child maltreatment histories. These clients often present with a unique set of characteristics, which may interfere with treatment retention and treatment engagement. A strong working alliance protects against premature discontinuation of counseling services and is a strong predictor of positive outcomes in counseling. Individuals with a history of child maltreatment are more likely to present with characteristics that can interfere with the counseling working alliance. This study assessed the relationships among maltreatment severity, emotion regulation, length of treatment time, and interpersonal trust in a clinical sample of adults receiving residential treatment for a substance use disorder who also met criteria for child maltreatment (n = 113). Results suggest that emotion regulation and trust significantly relate to the counseling working alliance, but only trust significantly and uniquely contributed to the regression model. Included are trauma-informed counseling recommendations for assessment of maltreatment and interventions to enhance trust and the working alliance.

Published: January 2018

Relevance. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is characterized by the presence of stromal and glandular hyperplasia in the periurethral and transitional zones. To describe the nature of intravesical growth of prostate tissue, an index of intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) was proposed. Clinically, men with an IPP measuring 10 mm or more are less likely to respond to α1-blocker therapy and 5α-reductase inhibitors. Thus, the description of the morphological features of the prostate depending on IPP grade is an actual issue. Purpose: to identify features of the morphological structure of the IPP in men with BPH. Materials and methods. Surgical treatment of the clinical form of BPH was performed to 30 men. Patients were divided into 2 groups: 1st group had IPP less than 10 mm (n = 12) and the 2nd group had IPP 10 mm or more (n = 18). In this study we evaluated the age, prostate volume and the value of IPP. The material for morphological investigation was obtained with transurethral resection of the prostate from the IPP zone. For light-optical examination, the preparations were stained with hematoxylin-eosin for routine evaluation of the structure of the prostate gland and for Van Gieson to estimate the proportion of the muscular and fibrous components of the stroma. The quantification of structural indicators was carried out by means of the television image analyzer MEKOS-TS2 in an automatic mode. Results: The groups were similar in age and prostate volume. In the group with IPP value of 10 mm or more, the proportion of the stromal component in the IPP zone was 77.5 ± 11.0%, the proportion of the glandular component was 22.5 ± 11.0%, respectively. In the group of men with IPP less than 10 mm, the proportion of the stromal component in the IPP zone was 96.0  1.5%, the proportion of the glandular component was 4.0 ± 1.5%, respectively (p < 0.05). It was also found that with an increase in IPP there is a tendency to decrease the proportion of the muscular component of the stroma. Conclusion: In men with BPH, with an increase in the value of intravesical prostatic protrusion in this zone, a relative increase in the proportion of the glandular component and a decrease in the proportion of the stromal component is proved, as well as a tendency to reduce the proportion of the muscular component of the stroma.

Published: January 2018

Introduction. Simple kidney cyst is a common disease that may need surgical treatment for pain, hypertension and kidney obstruction. Long term results of kidney cyst treatment need further investigation. The aim of the study was to assess patient complaints and kidney ultrasound sonography data in patients in a long term after percutaneous cyst aspiration (PCA) with sclerotherapy and laparoscopic decortications of the cyst wall (LDC). Patients and methods. In this retrospective study clinical data of 891 patients (277 (31,1%) men and 614 (68,9%) women, mean age 61,8 years) with simple kidney cysts operated by PCA and LDC (754 (84,6%) and 137 (15,4%) patients respectively) due to back pain, hypertension, big cyst size and obstruction of urine flow from the kidney was analyzed. Control survey and ultrasound sonography scans were performed in 80 (18,1%) patients, including 40 (50%) patients after PCA and 40 (50%) patients after LDC. Results. At control sonography kidney cysts were found in 32(80%) and 27(68%) patients after PCA and LDC respectively, but median cyst size decreased. Compared to PCA, LCD more often resulted in complete disappearance of cysts and also caused more prominent cyst size reduction (p = 0,027), however the lengths of stay (LOS) was longer after LDC (p = 0,005). After surgery the back pain and hypertension persisted in many patients, while the flow of urine from the kidney normalized in all patients. Conclusions. LDC compared to PCA was more effective in complete cyst removal and caused more significant decrease of cyst size. The LOS was longer after LDC, both LDC and PCA were effective in regaining urinary flow from the kidney. Back pain and hypertension should be considered relative indications for surgical treatment of kidney cysts. (For citation: Korneyev IA, Кiselev АО, Ishutin EJu, et al.

Published: January 2018

Relevance. The modern approach to prognostication of the course of renal carcinoma requires identification of the biological markers, which determine the key properties of the tumor in particular cases. The purpose of this study is to clarify the nature of expression of the molecules connected with the phenotype of the cancer stem cell (CD133, N-cadherin), TGF-α growth factor for tubular epithelium, and carboanhydrase IX (CA-IX) - one of the key molecules connected with VHL by the molecular way of carcinogenesis in cases of renal cancer. Materials and methods. We studied 61 observations of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The immunohystochemical examination was based on a panel of antibodies, which included antibodies to TGF-α (Аbcam), N-cadgerin (M3613 clone; Dako), CD133 (Prominin-1, Biorbyt), carboanhydrase IX (CAIX; NCL-L-CAIX, Leica Biosystems). The degree of the markers' expression was evaluated by a semiquantitative method depending on the content of the positive-reaction cells in the tumor. The differences between the compared groups were identified through the use of the Mann-Whitney U test and the chi-squared test. Results. Expression of TGF-α was found in 36 observations (59%) of RCC. TGF-α was most frequently present in the papillary (100%) and the clear-cell (55.9%) versions, and only rarely in chromophobic carcinoma (23.1%). A connection was found between the expression level of this marker and the neoplastic differentiation degree (p < 0.05). Expression of N-cadgerin was met in 38 observations (62.3%), CD133 occurred in 37 observations of renal carcinoma (60.6%). N-cadgerin and CD133 were found in the clear-cell and the papillary versions of RCC. There was a connection between the expression of N-cadgerin in the tumor and its invasive potential (p < 0.05). A higher occurrence rate of CD133 expression was recorded in the patients with metastatic forms of RCC, and also in cases of sarcomatoid transformation of the tumor (p < 0.05). Expression of carboanhydrase IX (CA-IX) occurred in 35 observations (57.4%). It was found in the clear-cell version of RCC. In cases of symptomatic RCC, expression of CA-IX was more frequently met (p < 0.05). There was a consistent association between the expression of CA-IX and the tumor size, stage and invasive potential. (For citation: Pasechnik DG, Kogan MI, Akhokhov ZM.

Authors: Rajam K. Leena , V. J. Vikram , Selvaraj Anjan Kumar , P. Saravana Babu
Published: January 2018

Background: Lymph node involvement is well established as an important prognostic factor for head and neck cancer, the spread of carcinoma of head and malignancy to the node levels is probably predictable according to the site of the primary. The appropriate staging of cervical lymph nodes is very important in the management of any head and neck primary carcinoma. Clinical palpation of cervical lymph nodes may yield false negative and false positive results.

Methods: In a prospective study in patients of patients with primary malignancy from larynx, any sub site of pharynx (nasopharynx/oropharynx/hypopharynx) of histologically proven squamous cell carcinoma, the nodal status of primary tumour, the level of lymph node involved and the stage of presentation of the tumor and node were analysed clinically.

Results: 61 cases included in our study, where males were 52 cases and females were 9 cases. The age incidence ranging from 35 years to 76 years noted. In the distribution of nodal secondary carcinoma of the nasopharynx was 100% nodal positive followed by hypopharynx, oropharynx, and larynx. 21% of patient presented in the N0 stage. The remaining 79% were node positive. In nodal secondary by size of primary most of the patients presented with T3 disease (52%) followed by T2 disease (26%), T1 disease (11%) and T4 disease (11%).

Conclusions: In malignancy of larynx, pharynx, lymph node assessment clinically is an important prognostic factor to determine the staging of tumour. The clinical evaluation may also have false negative, so radiological evaluation will further give a detailed assessment of the nodes for better treatment outcomes to reduce the overall mortality.

Published: January 2018

Background: Total knee replacement (TKR) is the most widely practised elective surgical procedure for advanced osteoarthritic patients globally. There is paucity of data on TKR’s in south Indian population. This study was aimed at analysing the peri-operative data of primary TKR’s to ease in customising the imported implants for our population.

Methods: Data on 261 TKR’s performed in our institute over 40 months was collected. Categorical variables like age, gender, size of components used, co-morbidities and type of implants used were analysed.

Results: Out of 220 patients with 261 knees, 141 were females (173 knees) and 79 were males (88 knees). The age group of the cohort was 60±11.2 years (Mean±SD). Diabetes and Hypertension (n=152) were the commonest co morbidities. The Cruciate Retaining (CR) type of prosthesis was used to the maximum extent (n=218). Size 3 femoral and tibial component was the commonly used in males and size 2 in females. 143(54.8%) knees had tibio-femoral component mismatch.  

Conclusions: This study gives a reasonable insight into various aspects of the total knee replacements in a South Indian Institute. This data would be useful for manufacturing suitable implants customised for our population in the context of imported implants being in vogue. It also helps the operating surgeon to appropriately order for the desirable implants well in advance lest he should struggle intra operatively for want of better clinical outcome.

Published: January 2018

The objective of this study is to investigate the sorption of methyl parathion (MP) pesticide from aqueous solution using Typha australis leaf powder as an alternative low cost biosorbent. The effects of various parameters such as adsorbent dosage and contact time are studied using the batch technique. Kinetics models (pseudo-first and pseudo-second orders) and isotherms models (Langmuir and Freundlich) are used to fit the experimental data by linear and non-linear methods. The results show that the pseudo-second order kinetics model is the best for describing the adsorption of MP by Typha australis for all initial MP concentrations. The equilibrium data fit well with the Langmuir model, suggesting the existence of monolayer adsorption of MP. Typha australis leaf powder can be considered as a new useful low cost natural biosorbent for pesticide clean up operations in aquatic systems.

Processing is one solution in handling perishable and durable agricultural products. This study aims to determine: (1) production-based region of soursop commodities in Kediri, (2) analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in soursop-based small entreprise, and (3) strategy of institutional strengthening implemented within the business. Primary data was taken through interview and secondary data was derived from the Central Statistics Agency of Kediri from 2010 to 2015. Research location was determined by judgment sampling which is located in the small business of Wonojoyo Trisulo in Plosoklaten. Research shows that Beside Plosoklaten, LQ analysis described other 12 production-based area of soursop in Kediri, such as Gurah, Kandat, Tarokan, Wates, Kepung, Ngancar, Mojo, Ngasem, Pagu, Gampengrejo, Semen, and Ngadiluwih. Those area will contribute as opponent for Plosoklaten to produce good quality product of soursop. SWOT analysis shows that the business’s position is in quadrant IV (negative, negative) that indicates the condition of weak, because it has some weaknesses and threats from the outside environment more than the strength and opportunity. Damage Control considers as an appropriate strategy that can be done by conducting more market-oriented management. Human resources and technology are also needed to be improved in the future.

This study aims to determine: (i) the contribution of agriculture sector to GDP growth in the region before and after the Papua special autonomy, (ii) the level of income inequality per capita in the region before and after the Papua special autonomy, (iii) the role of agriculture in reducing income inequality in the community before and after the region Papua special autonomy, and (iv) the effect of investment, labor force, the allocation of funds for regional development, agglomeration in the region Papua, and policy implementation of special autonomy to Papua region against income inequality.Data used in this research is secondary data from the years 1993-2013 and analyzed using analysis of contribution, growth, income inequality (Williamson index, and multiple linear regression with OLS method. The analysis showed that the agricultural sectors contribution to GDP growth before special autonomy greater than after the special autonomy. Furthermore, per capita income inequality between regions in Papua special autonomy after the bigger (more unequal). The agricultural sector play a greater role in reducing income inequality communities in Papua after special autonomy than before the special autonomy. Investment in Papua per capita, regional development aid funds allocated per capita, and agglomeration in Papua positive effect on income inequality between regions in Papua. Index of income inequality between regions in Papua after special autonomy (the period 2002-2013) is greater than before the special autonomy (the period 1993-2001)

Objective: The current study investigates the nephroprotective effect of Amorphophallus campanulatus against chronic alcohol-induced oxidative stress and tissue damage.Methods: The rats were simultaneously supplemented with ethanolic extract of A. campanulatus along with ethanol (40% w/v)2 g/kg body weight/day for 30 days to evaluate the nephroprotective effect against alcohol toxicity. Renal antioxidant enzymes, serum urea, creatinine, and pro-inflammatory cytokines were assayed biochemically. Histomorphological and histochemical alterations were detected by Hematoxylin and Eosin, periodic acid Schiff, and Feulgen and Picrosirius stain, respectively. The degree of apoptotic cell death was examined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay technique.Results: Serum urea, creatinine, pro-inflammatory cytokines, tissue TBARS, and activity of glutathione metabolizing enzymes were significantly (p<0.01) elevated, whereas cytosolic and mitochondrial superoxide dismutase, catalase, and levels of reduced glutathione were significantly (p<0.001) decreased in the EtOH group compared to control. However, ethanolic extract of A. campanulatus (ACE) supplementation to the EtOH rats reversed these effects to normal levels. Furthermore, degenerative changes in renal cells with alcohol treatment were minimized to nearness in architecture by ACE supplementation. Glycogen and deoxyribonucleic acid depletion, excess fibrosis due to collagen deposition, and increased apoptotic cell number were also restricted by ACE supplementation, with the higher dose being more promising.Conclusion: Thus ethanol-induced nephrotoxicity was attenuated by ACE treatment by the antioxidative and antiapoptotic property of the extract. Such effects of the extract may be due to the probable presence of different bioactive components in the tuber. Hence, it can be used as a regular nutrient or therapeutic agent to protect the renal cells.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of coconut oil (virgin coconut oil; VCO), corn oil, palm oil, and hydrolyzed VCO (HVCO) on minerals (calcium and magnesium) absorption in rats.Methods: The oils used were corn oil, palm oil, VCO, and HVCO. VCO hydrolysis was done using lipase from Rhizomucor miehei (active on sn-1,3 position). The effect of oils and HVCO on minerals absorption was carried out on 25 male rats, weighing approximately 150–200 g. Rats were housed in air-conditioned room at 22–25°C, under 12-light/dark cycle, fed on basal diet and tap water ad libitum. After 1-week acclimatization, rats were given oils and HVCO for 21 days. The effect of oils on the minerals absorption were determined over the 4-day metabolic balance study. Mineral concentrations in diet, feces, urine, and serum were measured using atomic absorption spectrometry. Minerals absorption are expressed as apparent minerals absorption, apparent minerals absorption rate, and apparent minerals balance.Results: Calcium absorption in rats given with VCO, corn oil, palm oil, and HVCO is 47.09%, 45.46%, 44.48%, and 49.33%, respectively, whereas, magnesium absorption in rats given with VCO, corn oil, palm oil, and HVCO is 34.87%, 32.08%, 29.39%, and 37.11%, respectively. The results of this study show that minerals absorption in rats given with dietary oils is significantly lower than the control group (51.79% for calcium and 42.34% for magnesium). Mineral absorption in rats given with HVCO results in the highest rate of all rats given with the other oils tested.Conclusion: Corn oil and palm oil, which belong to the long chain triglycerides oil, lower calcium, and magnesium absorption more significantly than VCO as a medium chain triglyceride oil does. HVCO results in significantly higher calcium and magnesium absorption compared to non-HVCO.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the level of thyroid hormones, namely, triidothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and prolactin in blood serum of infertile women with normal healthy subjects in Amritsar region of Punjab, India. A number of complications arise from the dysfunction of hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which leads to the hormonal disturbances in female reproductive system. Certain disorders such as obesity and thyroid hormone imbalance are highly prevalent and lead to various complications in pregnancy such as polycystic ovary syndrome. These disorders lead to the infertility and ultimately constitute a major physiological stress. A multidimensional diagnostic approach is imperative in evaluating these disorders. In the present study, the association between thyroid hormones and prolactin has been reviewed in infertile women which is a prerequisite to work up for infertility in Punjab.Methods: Hemoglobin levels were estimated in the blood serum of healthy controls and infertile women by the method of Sahli. The levels of serum T3, T4, TSH, and prolactin were determined by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay using Cobas e 411 analyzer according to the instruction manual.Results: Majority of infertile women were found to have hypothyroidism and hyperprolactinemia which can be correlated with infertility. This condition might respond to the treatment for their hormonal and prolactin levels, and fertility can be restored.Conclusion: The measurement of TSH and prolactin should be done at an early stage of infertility rather than more invasive procedures involved in the treatment of infertility in women.
