Olimpiyat Oyunları adaylığı, son dönemde birçok ülkede spor kamuoyunu ve de oyunlara aday olmayı düşünen şehirlerdeki yerel halkı meşgul eden önemli konulardan biridir. İstanbul da 1990’lı yıllardan bu yana düzenli olarak oyunlara ev sahipliği yapmak için aday olan şehirlerarasında yer almıştır. Bu araştırmanın amacı İstanbul’un 1993-2013 yılları arasında gerçekleşen Olimpiyat Oyunları adaylıkları neticesinde ortaya çıkan olumlu ve olumsuz çıktıların incelenmesi ve tanımlanmasıdır. Literatürde yer alan güncel bilimsel araştırmalar, ağırlıklı olarak, spor etkinliklerine ev sahipliği yapılması neticesinde ortaya çıkan mirasa odaklanırken, bu araştırmada adaylık neticesinde ortaya çıkan etkilere odaklanılmıştır. Son dönemde Olimpiyat Oyunları adaylığı süreci devam ederken adaylıktan çekilen şehirlerin sayısının artması ve aday olan ülke sayısının düşmesi bu araştırmayı önemli kılmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında İstanbul’un Olimpiyat Oyunları adaylıkları sürecinde görev almış dokuz üst düzey yetkili ile yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlar gerçekleştirilmiş, bu konuda hazırlanmış yazılı raporlar ve başvuru dokümanları incelenmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular, İstanbul’un Olimpiyat Oyunları adaylıkları neticesinde birçok somut ve soyut çıktının varlığına işaret etmektedir. Ancak bu çıktıların birçoğu “etki” olarak kalmış, yalnızca kısıtlı bir kısmı ise mirasa dönüşebilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda şehrin ve ülkenin tanıtımına katkı sağlanması, ulaşım ve altyapı gelişiminin ivme kazanması, spor etkinliklerine ev sahipliği yapma kapasitesinin artması, örgütler arası iş birliklerinin oluşması, spor şebekelerinin gelişmesi gibi birtakım çıktılar tespit edilmiştir. Öte yandan, toplumda yaşanan hayal kırıklığı, halkın değerlendirme sürecine olan inancının azalması gibi olumsuz çıktılar da mevcuttur. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulguların İstanbul’un gelecekte gerçekleşmesi muhtemel yeni bir adaylık sürecine ve büyük boyutlu spor etkinliklerine aday olmayı planlayan Türk spor örgütlerinin miras planlama sürecine katkısı olacağı öngörülmektedir.

Currently, the increase in the number of motorized vehicles is increasingly out of control, for all ages of riders. More and more riders of motorized vehicles among men and women even at this age, teenagers are already using motorized vehicles. This causes problems for motorized road users, namely the increase in traffic accidents, congestion for which it is not clear what causes, and even violations of traffic signs by motorized road users. This is because road users do not pay attention to and ignore traffic rules. In particular, this is most often done by motorized vehicle road users under the age of or teenagers who do not yet have a driving license. Based on these conditions, there is a need for community service regarding the Motorized Vehicle User Guide for driving safety for the Sahabat Cendikia Foundation Students. Sahabat Cendikia Foundation is one of the non-formal educational institutions to help the community obtain formal education certificates (Package B and Package C). Therefore, it is necessary to do dedication so that guidance can be given to Sahabat Cendikia Foundation students to pay attention to driving safety for other road users. Friends of the Cendikia Foundation students participated in this service activity because some of the students there were also minors. It is hoped that with this coaching activity, the Sahabat Cendikia Foundation students understand driving safety. In addition, it is hoped that this training will reduce traffic accidents. This service activity is carried out by providing material on motorised vehicle user manuals for traffic safety and traffic sign regulations.

Published: January 2023

Growing concerns over the use of limited fossil fuels and their negative impacts on the ecological niches have facilitated the exploration of alternative routes. The use of conventional plastic material also negatively impacts the environment. One such green alternative is polyhydroxyalkanoates, which are biodegradable, biocompatible, and environmentally friendly. Recently, researchers have focused on the utilization of waste gases particularly those belonging to C1 sources derived directly from industries and anthropogenic activities, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and methanol as the substrate for polyhydroxyalkanoates production. Consequently, several microorganisms have been exploited to utilize waste gases for their growth and biopolymer accumulation. Methylotrophs such as Methylobacterium organophilum produced highest amount of PHA up to 88% using CH4 as the sole carbon source and 52–56% with CH3OH. On the other hand Cupriavidus necator, produced 71–81% of PHA by utilizing CO and CO2 as a substrate. The present review shows the potential of waste gas valorization as a promising solution for the sustainable production of polyhydroxyalkanoates. Key bottlenecks towards the usage of gaseous substrates obstructing their realization on a large scale and the possible technological solutions were also highlighted. Several strategies for PHA production using C1 gases through fermentation and metabolic engineering approaches are discussed. Microbes such as autotrophs, acetogens, and methanotrophs can produce PHA from CO2, CO, and CH4. Therefore, this article presents a vision of C1 gas into bioplastics are prospective strategies with promising potential application, and aspects related to the sustainability of the system.

TRALI o Lesión Pulmonar aguda producida por transfusión sanguínea es un síndrome clínico caracterizado por cursar con hipoxemia aguda y edema pulmonar (no cardiogénico) que ocurre durante o después de la transfusión de algún hemoderivado. Es una de las principales causantes de muerte relacionadas con una transfusión sanguínea. Adicionalmente ha sido clasificada en tipo I y II, donde la principal diferencia radica en que en el tipo II se incluyen pacientes con factores de riesgo para la aparición de SDRA.

La investigación del cuadro permite manifestar que cualquier estado inflamatorio, sea cual sea la causa, cursa como el primer evento necesario para que se desarrolle el síndrome en estudio, y que el segundo evento involucrado, es la transfusión sanguínea.
Matrix Metalloproteinases in the Genesis of External Genital Endometriosis
Authors: М.А. Павловская,
Published: January 2023

В Республике Беларусь эндометриоз встречается приблизительно у трети женщин репродуктивного возраста и является одной из основных причин бесплодия. Патогенез эндометриоза до сих пор является предметом дискуссий, что существенным образом затрудняет подходы к лечению. Согласно одному из предположений молекулами, которые вовлечены в развитие эндометриоза, являются матриксные металлопротеиназы (ММР). Цель исследования – установить роль ММР-2 и ММР-9 в генезе наружного генитального эндометриоза (НГЭ). Методом иммуногистохимии в железах эндометрия женщин с НГЭ выявлено увеличение экспрессии ММР-2 на 13–47% и ММР-9 – в 63–188 раз по сравнению с нормальным эндометрием. В строме эндометрия у пациенток с НГЭ экспрессия ММР-2 повышалась в среднем на 30%, а ММР-9 – в 67–114 раз. В эндометриоидных гетеротопиях женщин с НГЭ экспрессия ММР-2 возрастала на 36–42%, а экспрессия ММР-9 – в 3,4–3,7 раза по сравнению с контролем. При прогрессировании НГЭ экспрессия ММР-2 и ММР-9 в железистом компоненте эндометрия достоверно повышалась в соответствии со стадией НГЭ. Таким образом, расщепление межклеточного матрикса и базальных мембран эндотелиоцитов с участием ММР-2 и ММР-9 лежит в основе имплантации эндометриальных гетеротопий и неоангиогенеза, которые являются ключевыми звеньями НГЭ.

In the Republic of Belarus, endometriosis occurs in about a third of women of reproductive age and is one of the main causes of infertility. The pathogenesis of this pathology is still the subject of various discussions, which significantly complicates approaches to treatment. According to one of the assumptions, the molecules that are involved in the development of endometriosis are matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The purpose of the study is to establish the role of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the genesis of external genital endometriosis (EGE). Immunohistochemistry in the endometrial glands of women with EGE revealed an increase in the expression of MMP-2 by 13–47% and MMP-9 – by 63–188 times, compared with normal endometrium. In the stroma of the endometrium in patients with EGE, the expression of MMP-2 increased by an average of 30%, and MMP-9 – by 67–114 times. In endometrioid heterotopias of women with EGE, MMP-2 expression increased by 36–42%, and MMP-9 expression increased by 3.4–3.7 times compared with the control. With the progression of EGE, the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the glandular component of the endometrium significantly increases in accordance with the stage of EGE. Thus, the cleavage of the intercellular matrix and basement membranes of endotheliocytes with the participation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 underlies the implantation of endometrial heterotopias and neoangiogenesis, which are the key links in EGE.

Spoofing’s Selection and Compensation in the Global Navigation Satellite System Consumer Navigation Equipment with Multi-Channel Antenna System
Authors: Saad H. Kh. , Loban M. A.
Published: January 2023

A method for selecting spoofing signals in consumer equipment with a multichannel antenna system is proposed. The method provides for consistent filtering of the received signals at the outputs of all antenna system elements and by ranging codes of all navigation satellites, detection and measurement of the time delay of the true and false navigation signals in each code channel by the output signal of one of the antenna system elements, measurement of the phase difference of the signals at the outputs of the antenna system elements and the selected reference element for the estimated time delay in each channel by code. Compensation of spoofing signals is carried out in the spatial domain by estimating the correlation matrix of processes at the outputs of the antenna system channels by the corresponding countdown of code channel signals after matched filtering and forming of a weight vector while minimizing the output power of spoofing signals by directly inverting the estimate of the correlation matrix and carrying out weight processing of the adopted implementation. The simulation results are presented, confirming the efficiency of the method.

Published: January 2023

The solid-state reaction method was used to synthesize 0.025Eu2+-doped CaMgSi2O6 (Eu-CaMgSi2O6) powder in the reduction atmosphere of 5% H2 + 95% N2 at 1300oC with a duration of 4 h. The reduction atmosphere was removed when the temperature was down to 800oC. The XRD pattern showed that only the CaMgSi2O6 phase was observed in synthesized 0.025Eu2+-doped CaMgSi2O6 powder. Room-temperature photoluminescence excitation (PLE) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of Eu-CaMgSi2O6 phosphors were recorded by using the Hitachi F-4500 fluorescence spectrophotometer at wavelength ranges of 200–430 and 350–600 nm, respectively. A new important finding is that the synthesized Eu-CaMgSi2O6 phosphor has three important PLE wavelengths. Therefore, Eu-CaMgSi2O6 phosphors are measured from 25oC (room temperature) to 200oC under three different PLE wavelengths to find the effect of temperature on the variations of maximum photoluminescence intensities (PLmax). All the PL spectra show that only one emission band with a central wavelength of 449 nm is found, which is independent of the PLE wavelengths and is caused by the transition of 4f7 → 4f65d1. Another important finding is that the different PLE wavelengths have an apparent effect on the PLmax value of the Eu-CaMgSi2O6 phosphor. Finally, the decay-time curves of Eu-CaMgSi2O6 phosphor under three PLE wavelengths are also investigated.

Titanium-Niobium (Ti-Nb) based alloys are predominantly used as an implant material within the Bio-medical field due to their unique characteristics such as non-toxicity, better Osseo-integration, high resistance to corrosion, high strength to weight quantitative relation and biocompatibility. This paper proposes to optimize the control parameters for multi-response optimization of Ti-6Al-7Nb bio-medical alloy based Grey Relational Analysis combined with the Taguchi approach. Wear rate (WR), coefficient of friction (COF), and frictional force were the response characteristics studied (FF). The Taguchi methodology is used in conjunction with the grey interpersonal evaluation as a performance index to determine the best set of control parameters. Applied Load, Rotational Speed, and Time were the control parameters evaluated. Experimentations are designed using L9 Taguchi's orthogonal array and carried out on a pin-on-disc setup in agreement by ASTM G99. The experimental outcomes display that the applied load has the greatest impact on the Ti-6Al-7Nb bio-medical alloy's various wear characteristics. This approach has been successfully rummage-sale to recover the wear response of Ti-6Al-7Nb bio-medical alloy.

This paper presents an intelligent technique particularly for MRI brain images. This introduces a clever method designed specifically for MRI brain pictures. To determine the abnormality in the brain images is processed using intelligent hybrid method of convolution neural networks and curvelet transform. Feature extraction, the logistic regression method (LRM), and learning algorithms are all used in the proposed model. Additionally, the categorization system identifies cancerous or non-cancerous tumours in the images of the brain. Results from experiments demonstrate how well model- and parameter-based analysis performs. The topic of minimum batch accuracy and validation accuracy, which are then contrasted with the current method, comes to a conclusion in the paper. This concept is suited to ongoing MRI image analysis activities. In this paper, previous paper has also be reviewed and their method is investigated.

The microgrid has been defined to cope with the large penetration of distributed generations (DGs). The microgrid is capable of operating in grid-connected mode (GC) and islanded mode (IS). In microgrid, distributed generations (DGs) are always connected to power network via power inverters. In the Grid Connected mode, DGs commonly acts as current controlled sources to retain a high grid-current quality and a fast dynamic response in the photovoltaic and wind generation systems. However, this current controlled DGs cannot work alone without the voltage/frequency support from utility-grid. Islanding occurs when a portion of a micro-grid becomes electrically isolated, yet continues to be energized by DGs connected to the isolated subsystem. In islanding mode, the inverter-interfaced DGs work as voltage-controlled sources. As system voltage and frequency are not determined by utility-grid, DGs should take care of the voltage/frequency stability. Moreover, the power sharing should be guaranteed according to their individual ratings to avoid circulating currents among DGs. The operation and control of existing utility networks are becoming more and more complex due to the increased interconnection of a DG systems with diverse characteristics. So this paper intends to address the above problems and come out with a proper control strategy using ANFIS controller that could be implemented for the successful operation of a microgrid.
Allocation of resources for risk management activities by business organisations in developing countries: Evidence from Zambia
Authors: Silwimba Peter , Fadun Olajide Solomon
Published: January 2023

This study evaluates resources allocated for risk management by business organisations (financial and non-financial firms) in developing countries, using Zambia as a case study. Primary data collected from 158 organisations were analysed using MegaStat. The findings revealed that the majority (54.5%) of organisations, especially non-financial institutions, only commit resources to risk mitigation on an Adhoc or post-event basis, while 45.5% showed a budgeted approach. A significant part of the budgeted 45.5% was used for risk management activities, and 54.5% was used for regular daily operations. Despite this variation, all organisations engaged reported a significant expenditure on risk management, at least on Adhoc. At 4 degrees of freedom (df), which was one less than the total number of possible outcomes, a non-parametric test for significance yielded a scientific P-value of 1.57e-0.7, (a numerical magnitude of 0.0014, P< 0.05). This suggests that the correlation and pattern of the findings were not random or by chance, but they carried a statistical significance. The study's main findings demonstrate that some business organisations in Zambia and other developing countries incur significant expenditure with a higher portion of their budgets to respond to risk management needs. Business organisations which do not have formal risk structures do so informally due to pressure from emerging business risks. The findings also indicated that financial institutions in developing countries allocate more resources towards risk management than non-financial institutions. The Phi coefficient (degree of association) was 0.486, showing a moderately significant relationship between the variables (risk management and resource allocation). Business organisations in Zambia and other developing nations must develop sound risk mitigation plans and allocate resources for risk management.

20.46% and 17.64% for Leptospira and Scrub typhus respectively. Among the age groups the age of 21-40 years was most prone
to infections with 44.26% positivity. Similarly, gender specic statics showed that the male populations have more chances of
infections than female. Conclusion: The summary of one year of testing have provided the disease load of common diseases
and further analysis for two or more years may provide a clear picture of disease burden in and around of this teriarty care
hospital.

Trichilemmal carcinoma is rare cutaneous tumor affecting scalp, eyelids, neck and face. Generally seen in elderly women, it is large, often cystic and characterized by trichilemmal keratinization. However, it can have an aggressive clinical course propensity for distal metastasis. I report a case of 40 years old female who presented with scalp swelling in July 2019.She underwent wide local excision and histology revealed trichilemmal carcinoma. Patient lost to follow up and presented in 2022 with CT thorax showed lung metastasis and CT brain shows brain metastasis and she advised for palliative radiotherapy. Trichilemmal carcinoma with brain and lung metastasis is rare condition. The patient underwent palliative radiotherapy and expired 2 months after palliation.

Published: January 2023

Background: Approximately 10-15% of acute chest pain is secondary to ACS which occur due to sudden
blockage in a coronary artery the blood supply to the heart muscles get reduced signicantly or cuts off
completely. ACS is a life-threatening condition that requires urgent intervention where saving time in diagnosis means saving
cardiac muscles. Aims and Objectives: To study platelet indices in acute coronary syndrome and non acute coronary
syndrome and to explore the role of mean platelet volume as an additional marker in diagnostic workup of acute coronary
syndrome. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional, comparative & observational study was conducted in Department of
Medicine, MGM Medical College and Hospital, Navi Mumbai from December 2018 – October 2020. A total of 102 patients
presented with chest pain in the Emergency Department and diagnosed as having either ACS or NON-ACS were included.
Results: ACS predominantly affects the male population i.e. 73.53% in the present study. STEMI was present in 78.43% than
NSTEMI 19.61%. Diabetes was present in 20.59% and hypertension in 27.45% patients. Mean Hb was higher in the ACS group
than in the NON-ACS group (p value: 0.001). Similarly, mean TLC, MPV, PDW, P-LCR and Mean Trop T was higher in the ACS
group than in the NON-ACS group (p value: 0.001). Mean EF was lower in the ACS group than in the NON-ACS group (p
<0.0001). The area under the ROC curve for classifying ACS and Non-ACS using Platelets as marker was 57.3% (p value:
0.206). A threshold value of Platelets ≥ 2.59 for ACS patients yields a sensitivity of 54.90%, Specicity of 50.98%, PPV of 52.83%,
NPV of 53.06% and Accuracy of 52.94%. The area under the ROC curve for classifying ACS and Non-ACS using MPV as marker
was 74.7% (P value: < 0.001). A threshold value of MPV ≥ 10.1 for ACS patients yields a sensitivity of 76.47%, Specicity of
64.71%, PPV of 68.42%, NPV of 73.33% and Accuracy of 70.59%. For MPV ≥ 10.1, the odds in favour of ACS was 5.958 i.e., the
chances of ACS is 5.95 times that of Non-ACS. Conclusion: It can be concluded from the present study that the platelet indices,
viz, MPV, PDW and P-LCR, are higher in ACS than in NON-ACS. Thus, they may be used to differentiate the ACS cases. More
research needs to be done in this regard, to develop the platelet indices as an early diagnostic tool for the ACS cases, especially
in a limited resource country, like India.

Published: January 2023

Introduction: Fever in pregnancy is a common clinical problem globally. The risk to the mother and fetus
is signicantly increased in pregnancy complicated by infection and fever. Fever is one of the most
frequent reasons for emergency consultation during pregnancy and may be associated with signicant adverse outcomes,
these being maternal (sepsis, organ damages) obstetrical (miscarriage, preterm birth, chorioamnionitis) or fetal
(malformations, fetal demise). However, only one study including mainly second and third trimester pregnant women,
evaluated causes of acute undifferentiated fever and 25 % of women had no identied cause. A hospit Methodology: al based
analytical cross sectional study was analysed the maternofetal outcome of 50 cases of fever during term pregnancy and the
outcome of 50 cases without fever in term pregnancy and it was studied between 2020-2021 at Govt. Mohan Kumaramangalam
medical college, Salem. During the study cases were selected with pregnant women at term gestation with or without fever
admitted in Labour ward and Antenatal ward of Govt. Mohan Kumaramangalam medical college hospital. The patients
recruited for the study underwent Clinical history, General examination, Obstretic examination, CTG and USG Obstretics,
fever ivestigations. In the group 1, Patients of 37weeks completed mothers with fever for more than one day and in the group 2
healthy AN mothers of 37weeks completed gestation were included. Fetal outcome will be studied by t Results: aking variableslow birth weight, intrauterine growth retardation, preterm delivery, neonatal sepsis and perinatal death.Maternal
complications –post operative wound infection, post-partum haemorrhage, pneumonia, septicemia, jaundice, hypoglycemia
and other complications of specic fever will be studied. Most common cause of fever in pregnancy was respiratory tract
infections. Urinary tract infection was the second common cause. Pregnant women with fever 24% had Hypotension and 56%
had Tachycardia. Pregnant women with fever had almost half the delivery with meconium stained signicantly. Among 50
delivered fever mothers, 24% cases were Previous LSCS cases, 44% cases went into spontaneous labour, only 32% cases
induced. Out of 32% cases induced, 50% cases were delivered vaginally and 50% Cases underwent caeserean sections. So,
Fever did not signicantly affect labour onset and the mode of delivery. Signicantly NICU admission was required among the
fever cohorts Fever during pregnancy is a common occurrence that can lead to a wide range of issues Conclusion: for both the
mother and the foetus and newborn. Because the most prevalent causes of fever are preventable, there has to be a greater
emphasis on the importance of being aware of how to avoid such illnesses in order to avoid life-threatening foetomaternal
consequences.

Published: January 2023

Emotional intelligence helps to know emotions which are helping to spend life more easily and happily
and such type of people are more satised than other people. This study was quantitative in nature and
theoretical research method was used. Perceptions of teachers how they teaching methods in classrooms and to what degree
they were emotionally attached with students were identied. Teachers were asked about emotional engagement with school
environment, colleagues, students, emotional level in student teacher interaction and impact of the teacher engagement on
student achievement. It was concluded that teachers had moderate attachment with school climate, colleagues and students. It is
recommended that government should recruit teachers of high emotional intelligence as a result teachers' classroom
management can be improved.
A STUDY ON THE PROGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF HYPONATREMIA IN ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION- A PROSPECTIVE LONGITUDINAL STUDY
Authors: Sinha Shruti , Farooqui Awais , Rai Sandeep
Published: January 2023

Background: Hyponatremia, dened as a serum sodium concentration <135 mEq/L, is the most common
electrolyte disorder in hospitalized patients. Hyponatremia also increases the morbidity and mortality
following myocardial infarction. MI is a major cause of death and is a global health problem reaching epidemic in both
developed as well as in developing countries. Aims and Objectives: To study hyponatremia as a prognostic marker in patients
with acute myocardial infarction-STEMI and NSTEMI. Material and Methods: This prospective, longitudinal observational
study was conducted during December 2018 – October 2020 in 152 cases of acute MI. Results: Male preponderance in the
patients hospitalised due to acute MI was 73.03%. The mean age of females was 59.46±9.42 years affected by acute MI was
more than males i.e. 53.23±9.92 years. Hyponatremia was present in 39.47% of the cases with acute MI. Mild hyponatremia was
the most prevalent 71.67% and severe hyponatremia was the least prevalent 3.33%. Diabetes mellitus was more prevalent in
cases of MI with hyponatremia 53.33% vs 25%. The GRACE scores were higher in the cases having hyponatremia and increases
with the increase in severity of hyponatremia. The TIMI scores were higher in the cases having hyponatremia and increases
with the increase in severity of hyponatremia. The mean duration of hospital stay was 9.99 ± 8.69 days. STEMI was more
prevalent 75.66% than NSTEMI. AWMI cases were more in the population with hyponatremia 78% than in the population with
normal serum sodium 53.85%. Acute MI cases with hyponatremia had lower mean LVEF than those with normal serum sodium
levels. Primary reperfusion therapy (thrombolysis/primary PCI) was done in 44.08% of the cases and no signicant association
was found between it and outcomes in the hyponatremia group. Complications were present in 23.03% of the cases in
hyponatremia group (p <0.05). Mortality was present in 2.64% of the cases and more common in the cases with hyponatremia
(p>0.05). The odds of complications (including death) was 2.91 times in the cases with hyponatremia as compared to cases
with normal serum sodium levels, 2.47 times in the cases with mild hyponatremia as compared to cases with normal serum
sodium levels, 3.42 times in the cases with moderate hyponatremia as compared to cases with normal serum sodium levels and
25 times in the cases severe hyponatremia as compared to cases with normal serum sodium levels. Conclusion: It can be
concluded that the severity of MI is more in cases with hyponatremia and hyponatremia is associated with poorer outcomes in
terms of complications post MI and mortality.
A CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY OF ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SERUM URIC ACID AND LIPID PROFILE
Authors: Nazneen Khan Saba , Abdul Baseer Mohammed , Mohsin Ahmed Mohammed
Published: January 2023

Background: The association of Serum Uric Acid (SUA) with Lipid Prole is not well studied or little is known so far, although the link between elevated uric acid and metabolic syndrome has been reported in some studies. This study was conducted to establish the relationship between SUA and Lipid Prole among the general adults. Methods: 560 blood samples were collected from general adult participants (male, n = 300 & female, n = 260) were analysed for serum lipid prole (TC, TG, HDL and LDL) and SUA levels. The study subjects were divided by quartiles based on SUA levels (Q1: ≤225 μmol/L, Q2: 226–285 μmol/L, Q3: 286–340 μmol/L and Q4: > 340 μmol/L). Linear regression modelling was used to evaluate the relationship between SUA and Lipid levels. Results: The prevalence of hyperuricemia was 9.2% in males and 10.4% in females. The mean level of SUA was signicantly higher in male (317 ± 90 μmol/L) than in the female (255 ± 65 μmol/L) subjects (p < 0.001). An increasing trend for elevated lipid prole was observed in both genders with increasing levels of SUA in the quartiles (p < 0.05). In regression analysis, a signicant positive correlation was found between SUA and TG, TC and LDL (p < 0.01) while an inverse correlation was observed between SUA and HDL (p < 0.01). After adjusting for potential confounders, lipid prole was linearly associated with SUA levels (p < 0.01 for trend). Conclusions: Lipid parameters (TG, TC, and LDL levels) increases with increase in SUA, whereas HDL decreases with rise in SUA. Cardiovascular risks may be reduced by early prevention of hyperuricemia and dyslipidaemias.

Published: January 2023

Objective: To determine the clinical presentation of children admitted with type1 diabetes mellitus in a
tertiary care hospital. Methods: Retrospective study was done in the department of pediatrics,
Government general hospital, Guntur, for a time period of 2 years from August 2020 to August 2022 with a sample size of 32
children. Results: A total of 32 children below twelve years of age with diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus presented to ESR
and OPD were included in the study. The results were discussed based on clinical presentation, age, gender, random blood
sugar and HbA1c values. Our study showed that most common clinical presentation for admission was Diabetic keto acidosis.
The age of presentation was highest among 10-12years age group of children with female preponderance. Majority 78% of
sample size were hailing from rural areas. 90% of the children had deranged HbA1c values. Conclusion: To create awareness
through our study regarding early symptoms, prompt diagnosis by screening random blood sugars in children presenting with
weight loss, polyuria, polydipsia, pain abdomen and respiratory distress. The necessity of regular treatment to prevent further
complications as incidence of Type-I Diabetes Mellitus is increasing worldwide.
