Overview of COVID-19 Response in Kaduna State, Nigeria, March-July 2020
Authors: Umeh Gregory , Madubu Dauda Milgwe
Published: October 2020

The last six months have seen concerted efforts by government, development partners, communities, and individuals to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 has wreaked havoc in all the continents, from Asia, Europe, Africa, America to Australia. Nigeria recorded its first case of COVID-19 on 27 February 2020. Kaduna State, the former headquarters of the defunct northern region, with a total population of 10 million citizens, has recorded 1,457 confirmed cases and 21 deaths of COVID-19 as of 31 July 2020.In line with the national guidance, Kaduna State activated the COVID-19 Emergency Operating Centre (EOC) with the confirmation of a case to coordinate the response. The EOC developed an Incident Action Plan (IAP) with nine strategic pillars, including coordination, surveillance, and epidemiology, Infection Prevention and Control (IPC), case management, risk communication, logistics and supplies, laboratory, the point of entry, and research. COVID-19 is real, has maimed citizens, and claimed many lives. The economic, social, and human losses are enormous, and recession stares us in the face. We have no cure or vaccines to deal with the pandemic yet, so prevention and adherence to proven measures by citizens, corporate organizations, and the government to stem the incidence of the virus must be accepted as the new way of living. The challenges are daunting, but consultation, cooperation, and communication among citizens, corporate organizations, and government remain essential to finding the strength, resolve, and shared purpose to cultivate useful guidelines and measures to keep individuals, organizations and government running.
Misi Pelayanan Sosial di Masa Pandemi bagi Pembinaan Warga Gereja Jemaat Baru
Authors: Yanti Yuli
Published: October 2020

Misi pelayanan sosial merupakan dua aktifitas yang saling berhubungan satu dengan yang lain. Misi Pelayanan Sosial mencakup seluruh makna kehadiran gereja ditengah-tengah dunia yaitu: untuk melaksanakan mandat Allah (Misio Dei) sebagai pembawa pesan yang diperlengkapi dengan otoritas atau diutus dengan diberi kuasa atau kepercayaan penuh dari Allah. Melalui tindakan nyata Allah dalam turut serta memelihara, melindungi untuk menyelamatkan umat manusi dengan cara memenangkan jiwa bagi Kristus dan memperluaskan kerajaan Allah yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan berbagai strategi atau metode berlandasan Alkitabiah. Tujuannya untuk mewujutkan kasih yang berbentuk pelayanan sosial yang missioner, yaitu tindakan nayat orang Kristen yang peduli terhadapt persoalan dunia dan masyarakat sehingga menjadi garam dan terang bagi orang-orang yang belum percaya kepada Kristus maupun bagi warga gereja jemaat baru (petobat baru) yang saat ini sedang diperhadapkan dengan kasus pandemi yang mengakibatkan mereka mengalami krisis dalam ekonomi, kesehatan, pendidikan, dan kehidupan sosial. Pelayanan sosial yang disentuh dan digerakan oleh karena mengasihi Allah dan mengasihi sesama, akan menjadi refleksi aktifitas misiologi. Hal ini terjadi karena setiap pelayanan sosial yang dilakukan juga untuk kemulian Tuhan. Misi keselamatan dan kesejahteraan umat manusia dapat dinyatakan lewat pelayanan sosial dengan tujuan manusia mengalami keselamatan dan terpelihara menyeluruh atas; tubuh, jiwa, dan rohnya di bumi ini.

We mined published and public microarray datasets (2, 3) to discover differentially expressed genes in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding the regulator of G-protein signaling 7 binding protein, RGS7BP, in neurons of the dorsolateral pre-frontal cortex from patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.
Exaptative Thinking as What Makes Us Human
Authors: Gabora Liane , Ganesh Kirthana
Published: October 2020

This chapter develops the theory that there are two kinds of self-organizing, self-mending, self-reproducing structures in the world. The first is living organisms. The second is complex minds, or more precisely, worldviews: ways of seeing the world and being in the world, i.e., networks of memory and knowledge that constitute the content of complex minds. The chapter explores the role played by two forms of exaptation—biological and psychological—in the perpetuation of these self-organizing structures. Biological exaptation occurs when selective environmental pressures cause the exploitation of potentiality, while psychological exaptation involves the ability to modify/change a pattern of cognition to incorporate different perspectives, thereby increasing cultural variation. While the former is associated with survival, the latter has far-reaching consequences in terms of how humans view not only the world around them, but also their own place within it. Within psychological exaptation, the difference between generic and strategic exaptation has been drawn to illustrate the unique attributes of the exaptation process in humans. Strategic exaptation operates through a process of representational redescription, reflexivity, and autocatalysis, that allows for humans to use psychological exaptation for processes that are adaptive, open-ended, and cumulative. Towards the end of the chapter, a brief overview of a quantum model for exaptation has been provided.
Estimating the between-issue variation in party elite cue effects
Authors: Tappin Ben M
Published: October 2020

Party elite cues are among the most well-established influences on citizens’ political opinions. Yet, there is substantial variation in effect sizes across studies, constraining the generalizability and theoretical development of party elite cues research. Understanding the causes of variation in party elite cue effects is thus a priority for advancing the field. In this paper, I estimate the variation in party elite cue effects that is caused simply by heterogeneity in the policy issues being examined, through a reanalysis of data from existing research combined with an original survey experiment comprising 34 contemporary American policy issues. My estimate of the between-issue variation in effects is substantively large, plausibly equal to somewhere between one-third and two-thirds the size of the between-study variation observed in the existing literature. This result has important implications for our understanding of party elite influence on public opinion and for the methodological practices of party elite cues research.
Risk perception, Unhealthy Behavior, and Anxiety due to Viral Epidemic among Healthcare Workers: The Relationships with Depressive and Insomnia symptoms during COVID-19
Authors: Lee Ju Kab , Lee Hyuk Joo , Hong Yujin , Shin Yong Wook , Chung Seockhoon , Park Jangho
Published: October 2020

We aimed to investigate the relationship between mental health problems and unhealthy behaviors among healthcare workers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Using an online survey, we collected data on healthcare workers’ perception regarding COVID-19 exposure in a work unit. Workers’ depression, insomnia, and anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Insomnia Severity Index, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale, respectively. Work-related stress and anxiety in response to the viral epidemic were measured using the Stress and Anxiety to Viral Epidemic-9 (SAVE-9) scale. We found that work-related stress and anxiety in response to the viral epidemic was associated with female sex, perception of the workplace as being dangerous, and depressive symptoms. Unhealthy behaviors, such as smoking and drinking as coping behaviors during the pandemic, were associated with male sex, young age, depression, and insomnia. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to closely observe the patterns of work-related stress and anxiety reactions among healthcare workers to reduce their burnout.
Extending Social Resource Exchange to Events of Abunance and Sufficiency
Authors: Bååth Jonas , Daoud Adel
Published: October 2020

This chapter synthesizes SRT and SAS-theory, enabling SRT to analyze abundance and sufficiency in tandem with scarcity for analyzing resource exchange. First, we outline how SRT rests on an assumption of scarcity as the primary resource state causing exchange motivations and the problems caused by that assumption. Second, we used SAS-theory to formalize Scarcity, Abundance and Sufficiency (SAS) in an agnostic manner, tying them to different behavioral strategies that individuals use when engaging with a specific resource state. Third, we formalize the relation between individual and systemic level SAS. This relation is influenced by entitlement functions, allowing the distinction between an individual’s experience of absolute and quasi-SAS. This difference is essential, as quasi-SAS implies different exchange motivations and strategies than absolute SAS. Lastly, we demonstrate the formalized relations through two examples of abundance-based motivations, and how quasi-scarcity requires different explanations than absolute scarcity.
Does Tokyo Stock Exchange Appreciate Corporate Innovations? Role of Patents’ Quality and Research Productivity.
Authors: Ovsiannikov Kostiantyn
Published: October 2020

This paper examines the market perception of corporate innovations in Japan. It follows the research question formulated by Hall, Jaffe, and Trajtenberg (2005): "how does innovative activity translate into market value, and what aspects of the underlying process are captured by the empirical measures available?". The novelty of my study is twofold. First, it embraces the longitudinal innovation- and finance-related corporate records to come up with the largest ever combined data-set for Japan that encompasses 632 companies listed at the Tokyo Stock Exchange over the period of 19 years. Second, in addition to linear regressions, it applies the generalized additive models (GAMs). The latter technique allows for realistically capturing nonlinear patterns present in the data while at the same time retaining predictive features of a model. The main finding of the article is following. Amid the dominant role of research and development (R&D), especially for the Pharmaceutical and Chemical industries, market consistently rewards influential patents in the manufacturing sector.
A “Win-Win Exercise”? The Effect of Westward Migration on Educational Outcomes of Eastern European Children
Authors: Hoffmann Nathan Isaac
Published: October 2020

Since the end of the Cold War, millions of migrants from Eastern Europe have sought better opportunities in Western European countries, yet few studies have assessed the impact of such moves on these migrants' children. In the aim of isolating a "treatment effect" of migration on educational outcomes, this study analyzes Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) scores from 2012, 2015, and 2018 for adolescents born in twelve Eastern European countries and living in eight Western European countries. It employs propensity-score matching within a homeland dissimilation framework, comparing immigrants' outcomes on reading, math, and science assessments to similar stay-at-homes in their countries of origin. In unadjusted comparisons to their counterparts who remained behind, migrant children attain lower scores across all three subjects. Once immigrant children are matched to non-immigrants with similar propensities to migrate, the disparity for math scores disappears, while those for reading and science remain. Disparities are wider for adolescents who come from within the EU, migrate at older ages, or speak a foreign language at home. This paper indicates the need for policymakers and educational administrators to better handle the negative academic effects that migration can have on children from within Europe.
An Integrated Approach for the Characterization of the Solidification Structure of Free Graphite Cast Irons
Authors: López M. G. , Massone J. M. , Boeri R. E.
Published: October 2020

Over the years, the majority of the studies that addressed the study of the solidification of free graphite cast irons have focused primarily on explaining the influence of graphite morphology on the solidification mechanism, but instead, have dedicated much less attention to the influence of the metallic phase that grows together with graphite, which is the austenite. However, the combined use of the direct autempering after solidification technique and color etching makes it possible today to extend the study of the solidification of these materials by considering the growth of the austenite. The objective of the present study is to demonstrate how these two techniques can be exploited to understand the solidification macro and microstructure and the microshrinkage cavities formation in free graphite cast irons.

The results show that these techniques find potential application in studies aimed at developing procedures to refine both the macroscopic and microscopic solidification structures, such as those investigating the use of inoculants to refine the austenitic grain structure, and its consequences on the microsegregation pattern, the eutectic solidification and the tendency to form microshrinkage.
PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING OF PERSONS WITH A HOMOSEXUAL ORIENTATION
Authors: Kamsheko Katerina
Published: October 2020

The article analyzes the social and psychological factors of psychological well-being of the individual. The results of psychological well-being between homosexuals and heterosexuals were examined and compared. The complexity of studying the phenomenon of psychological well-being is due to the fact that the mechanism of its formation is in the social environment and in the inner world of man. An attempt is made to reveal their essence on the basis of researches in world and national science. The components that provide positive personality functioning are analyzed and investigated: autonomy, environmental management, personal growth, positive relationships with others, presence of life goals and self-acceptance. Psychological well-being of the individual is considered as an integral indicator of the degree of realization of the personality of one's own orientation, which is subjectively manifested in feelings of happiness, satisfaction with life and oneself. It is concluded that this phenomenon touches on all aspects of people's lives, both homo- and hetero-orientations, and therefore, a person with any sexual orientation is capable of self-actualization, self-development, life satisfaction and the exercise of one's choice.

A Note to Review Information for the Risk Management of Salmonella on Raw Peanuts
Authors: Calhoun  , Stephen Ronald
Published: October 2020

A Salmonella outbreak in 2007 affected at least 625 people in 47 states. As a result of this outbreak a number of initiatives were undertaken by the peanut industry. Review of scientific literature found very little data on the prevalence or thermal inactivation of Salmonella. Additional outbreaks reinforced the need for more data. Research was commissioned by the American Peanut Council (APC) to provide processors information needed in mitigating the risk of Salmonella in raw peanuts. Studies were completed to provide prevalence, concentration, and time/temperature conditions to thermally inactivate Salmonella present. Subsequently, a quantitative microbiological risk assessment (QMRA) was performed and published. These studies and QMRA were reviewed with their results used to suggest potential risk management practices.

When considering risk management both actual baseline results and what-if data for factors were explored. Prevalence and concentration of Salmonella is best controlled with established Good Agricultural Practices that can be recommended by processors to suppliers. Storage was shown to significantly reduce Salmonella levels, however there is limited opportunity for control due to quality requirements that are dependent on shelf-life. Blanching was shown to only minimally reduce Salmonella levels. Lower consumption of raw peanuts reduced risk moderately. Higher log reductions through roasting was shown to effectively reduce risk, potentially more so for split peanuts. This article reviews the research studies commissioned by the American Peanut Council and related quantitative microbiological risk assessments and factors for decision making that risk managers at peanut and peanut product processing facilities should consider for hazard control measures.

differentiate into both epithelial tissue and mesenchymal tissue. And it is rare in urinary system with a high
degree of malignancy and prognosis is poor.
Patient Concerns: The present article reports a 63-year-old man presented with recurrent left flank pain for
two years. Radiological tests suggested a space-occupying lesion in left kidney with enlarged paranephric
/retroperitoneal lymph nodes.
Diagnosis: The pathological diagnosis following left nephrectomy indicated renal pelvis and renal calices
sarcomatoid carcinoma; pTNM: T4N0M0.
Interventions: No radiotherapy or chemotherapy were performed after the surgery and underwent rapid
growth.
Outcomes: The patients died six months later.
Conclusion: Renal pelvis and renal calices sarcomatoid carcinomas is a highly malignant tumor and
difficult to diagnose at its early stage. Definite diagnosis relies on the combination of immunohistochemistry
(IHC) and morphological analyses and there currently is no effective treatment.

The association of smoking status with SARS-CoV-2 infection, hospitalisation and mortality from COVID-19: A living rapid evidence review with Bayesian meta-analyses (version 8)
Authors: Simons David , Shahab Lion , Brown Jamie , Perski Olga
Published: October 2020

Aims: To estimate the association of smoking status with rates of i) infection, ii) hospitalisation, iii) disease severity, and iv) mortality from SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 disease.

Design: Living rapid review of observational and experimental studies with random-effects hierarchical Bayesian meta-analyses. Published articles and pre-prints were identified via MEDLINE and medRxiv.

Setting: Community or hospital. No restrictions on location.

Participants: Adults who received a SARS-CoV-2 test or a COVID-19 diagnosis.

Measurements: Outcomes were SARS-CoV-2 infection, hospitalisation, disease severity and mortality stratified by smoking status. Study quality was assessed (i.e. ‘good’, ‘fair’ and ‘poor’).

Findings: Version 8 (searches up to 22 September 2020) included 256 studies with 36 ‘good’ and ‘fair’ quality studies included in meta-analyses. Sixty-seven studies (26.2%) reported current, former and never smoking status with the remainder using broader categories. Recorded smoking prevalence among people with COVID-19 was generally lower than national prevalence. Current compared with never smokers were at reduced risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection (RR=0.72, 95% Credible Interval (CrI) = 0.57-0.89, τ = 0.40). Data for former smokers were inconclusive (RR=1.02, 95% CrI = 0.92-1.13, τ = 0.18) but favoured there being no important association (7% probability of RR ≥1.1). Former compared with never smokers were at somewhat increased risk of hospitalisation (RR=1.19, CrI = 1.03-1.43, τ = 0.17), greater disease severity (RR=1.52, CrI = 1.12-2.05, τ = 0.29) and mortality (RR=1.35, 95% CrI = 1.09-1.73, τ = 0.26). Data for current smokers on hospitalisation, disease severity and mortality were inconclusive (RR=1.06, CrI = 0.82-1.35, τ = 0.27; RR=1.26, CrI = 0.85-1.96, τ = 0.34; RR=1.10, 95% CrI = 0.69-1.67, τ = 0.50, respectively) but favoured there being no important associations with hospitalisation and mortality (35% and 51% probability of RR ≥1.1, respectively) and a small but important association with disease severity (79% probability of RR ≥1.1).

Conclusions: Compared with never smokers, current smokers appear to be at reduced risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection while former smokers appear to be at increased risk of hospitalisation, greater disease severity and mortality from COVID-19. However, it is uncertain whether these associations are causal.

Cilj rada bio je utvrditi utjecaj dodavanja prebiotika, manan-oligosaharida (ActigenTM)
krmnim smjesama na proizvodne rezultate pilića u tovu. U istraživanju je korišteno
300 muških jednodnevnih pilića hibrida Ross 308 koji su slučajnim izborom smješteni
u dvije skupine sa šest ponavljanja. Istraživanje je trajalo 38 dana, a podijeljeno je u tri razdoblja. Tijekom istraživanja pilići iz kontrolne skupine hranjeni su 14 dana početnom krmnom smjesom (PPT-1) sa 24,4% SB, 14 dana krmnom smjesom za piliće u porastu (PPT-2) sa 21,0% SB i 10 dana završnom krmnom smjesom ( PPT-3) sa 20,1% SB. Pilići pokusne skupine hranjeni su istim krmnim smjesama, ali s dodatkom ActigenTM-a. U PPT-1 je dodano 800g/t; u PPT-2 400 g/t, a u PPT-3 200 g ActigenTM-a po toni krmne smjese. Prosječne tjelesne mase na kraju istraživanja bile su
2808,86 u kontrolnoj i 2880,42 u pokusnoj skupini, a konverzija krmnih smjesa
1,58 i 1,56 kg za kilogram prirasta. Budući da su tjelesne mase u pokusnoj
skupini bile veće za 2,55%, a konverzija niža, može se preporučiti upotreba
ActigenTM-a u krmnim smjesama za hranidbu pilića.

На основі імітаційної моделі аналізу показників публічного акціонерного товариства «Національна акціонерна компанія «Нафтогаз України» (ПАТ «Національна акціонерна компанія «Нафтогаз України») досліджено необхідність запровадження й активного використання оцінки фінансової стійкості підприємства, що дозволить здійснити прогноз і підвищити ефективність газової та нафтопереробної галузей. Визначено, що одним з найважливіших завдань у галузі прогнозування тенденцій розвитку підприємства є оцінка його фінансової стійкості, здійснювана на основі науково обґрунтованих моделей, оскільки саме цей показник, у першу чергу, є фактором організаційного й економічного розвитку підприємства. Аналіз практичного застосування відповідних імітаційних моделей і методик оцінки створює основу для прийняття грамотних та ефективних управлінських рішень. Доведено, що використання універсальної дискримінантної функції дає можливість істотно спростити аналіз фінансової стійкості, однозначно оцінити фінансовий стан підприємства, тому саме вона береться за основу для побудови комплексного алгоритму оцінки фінансової стійкості, заснованого на імітаційному моделюванні.

Published: October 2020

Background: Combination therapy of Deferiprone (DFP) with Deferasirox (DFX) is an efficacious and safe modality to reduce serum ferritin in multi-transfused children with thalassemia.

Objectives: To compare the efficacy of Deferiprone versus Deferiprone with Deferasirox as iron chelation therapy of transfusion dependent thalassemia children.

Materials and Methods: A non-randomized control clinical trial was done in department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Bangladesh Thalassemia Hospital in Dhaka during the period of October 2016 to September 2017. Thirty children with transfusion dependent thalassemia major between 3 to 12 years of age were included in each group in this study. Children with thalassemia minor, after splenectomy, with comorbidities and on other iron chelation therapy were excluded from this study.

Results: Among total enrolled 60 cases in this study, initial mean serum ferritin level was 3397.48 ± 774.48 ng/ml in DFP-monotherapy group and 3413.70 ± 1114.05ng/ ml in DFP-DFX combination group. Mean serum ferritin level at 6thmonth was found 2730.63 ± 839.91ng/ml in DFP-monotherapy group and 1654.20 ± 934.90 ng/ml in DFP-DFX-combination group which shows rapid reduction of serum ferritin level in DFP-DFX-combination group. 12 (40.0%) patients had arthralgia in DFPmonotherapy group and 5(16.7%) patients had vomiting in DFP-DFX-combination group. No abnormalities seen in liver and renal function tests.

Conclusion: Combination therapy with Deferiprone and Deferasirox is more effective in reduction of iron overload and drug related complications in transfusion dependent thalassemia patients.

Published: October 2020

Background: Tramadol is an analgesic agent utilized in the treatment of different types of pain. Recently it was found that a few cases of tramadol poisoning were observed in hospitalized children. In all cases, it happened due to accidental administration of tramadol suppository.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical manifestations of tramadol suppository poisoning in children and to create public awareness about the prevention of this suppository poisoning.

Materials & Methods: This was an observational, retrospective, single-center caseseries study of hospitalized children in Dhaka Shishu Hospital during the periods of July 2016 to March 2017. Eleven patients with history of accidental intake of tramadol suppositories were enrolled in this study. Data regarding risk factors and clinical features were recorded and analyzed.

Results: In this study, 7/11(64%) cases were male and 4/11(36%) female. Mean age was 7.8 month and mean duration of hospital stay was 46.4 hours. Parecetamol in 2/11 (18%) cases and glycerin suppository in 9/11(82%) cases were main drugs that were supposed to be introduced instead of tramadol. Keeping drugs in same containers (11/11), similarities of suppository’s size, shape and color (11/11) were found as causes of mistakes in this study. Main clinical features were drowsiness in 4/11(36%) cases, tachycardia in 3/11(27%) cases and one case died.

Conclusions: More cautiousness of parents, dissimilarity among different suppository in color size, shape and using of different containers of drugs may be the preventive way of this poisoning.

Published: October 2020

Tyrosinemia Type 1 is a rare inherited metabolic disorder attributable to a deficiency of enzyme fumaryl acetoacetate hydrolase. It has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. It often presents with liver disease or liver failure with predominant bleeding tendencies, Fanconi syndrome and or rickets with neurological crisis. Diagnosis is based on clinical features, increased tyrosine and methionine in plasma and the presence of succinylacetone in urine. Untreated patient develops liver failure, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma and end stage of renal failure. Here we describe a 9 months old infant presented with massive ascites with hepatosplenomegaly, coagulopathy and hypoalbuminemia. The diagnosis of tyrosinemia type 1 was confirmed based on clinical and biochemical findings. We highlight the need for early diagnosis and initiating treatment at the earliest which improves the quality of life in these patients. Here we report a nine month old male infant presented with abdominal distension, hepatomegaly and ascities diagnosed as Tyrosinemia Type 1.

Authors: Alo Kamrunnahar , Begum Mahmuda , Rahman Md Mahfuzar
Published: October 2020

Background: Thyroid dysfunction, a common endocrine disorder that increasing day by day. Hypothyroidism occasionally occurs in diabetic patients especially those with poor glycemic control.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to observe the effect of glycemic control on thyroid hormones level in type 2 diabetic patients & to determine selected socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents.

Methods: This was a case control study carried out in the Department of Physiology, Sir Salimullah Medical College (SSMC), Dhaka from July 2016 to June 2017. Total sixty subjects of both male and female age ranged from 40 to 60 years were included in this study. Among them thirty were type 2 diabetic patients (both uncontrolled and controlled) and another thirty were included for comparison as control and were matched by age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). Both case and control group were selected purposively based on selection criteria. Serum TSH, FT4 and FT3 levels were measured by chemiluminescent micro particle immunoassay (CMIA) method. Fasting blood glucose level was estimated by glucose oxidase (GOD) method and blood HbA1c level was estimated by ion exchange high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The statistical analysis was done by ANOVA test, Bonferroni test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient test. Data quality control was done by using a checklist.

Results: In this study, mean serum TSH level was significantly higher in uncontrolled diabetic patients than that of controlled diabetic patients. Serum FT4 level was significantly lower in uncontrolled diabetic patients in comparison to that of controlled diabetic patients. Besides these, serum TSH level was positively correlated (r = +0.575), serum FT4 and FT3 levels were negatively correlated (r =  ̶ 0.588, r =  ̶ 0.527) with HbA1c level in uncontrolled diabetic patients and all these relationships were statistically significant p≤0.05 respectively.

Conclusion: The present study revealed that hypothyroidism occurs in type 2 diabetic patients which were found only in uncontrolled diabetic patients due to their poor glycemic control.
