Women are more prone to thyroid disorder and cause abnormal sexual development, menstrual irregularity, infertility and premature menopauseMy objective of studyis to evaluate the thyroid function tests in women with abnormal uterine bleeding in north Indian population. Methods: After selecting the women, informed consent was obtained. The case history and clinical examination of them were done, requested to do thyroid functioning test in fasting status in early morning and the results were evaluated. Thyroid function tests were estimated by Chemiluminescence Immuno Assay (C.L.I.A) method using reagent Monobind I N C with the help of fully automatic Elecsys 2010 machine made by ROCHE. Results: There were 150 women who were included in the study. Out of all the types of commonest symptoms were menorrhagia. around 47%. Patients with oligomennorrhoea had hyperthyroidism in 16.7% of patients, hypothyroidism in 8.3% of patients and subclinical hypothyroidism in 8.3%. In polymenorrhoea patients 42.9% of cases had subclinical hypothyroidism. Conclusions: As there is high incidence of thyroid diseases in a north Indian population, women with abnormal uterine bleeding. This would also avoid unnecessary hormonal treatment and surgical intervention in these patients.","PeriodicalId":13848,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biomedical and Advance Research","volume":"387 1","pages":"288-291"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80793163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A randomized control trial, in which 120 patients were selected using block randomisation method, was carried out. They were divided into 3 groups of 40 each, Group A- subcranial myofascial distraction, Group B- combination of subcranial myofascial distraction and condylar remodeling exercises, Group C- condylar remodeling exercises alone. These patients were assessed for outcome measure i.e. temporomandibular disability index score. The frequency of therapeutic protocol for subcranial myofascial distraction was 3 repetitions of 90 seconds hold period each, rest period of 60 seconds between two repetitions. This intervention was given for 6 days/week for 2 weeks. Every exercise in condylar remodeling exercises was performed 6 times in one session under the supervision of physiotherapist and same session was performed at home by the patient preferably in evening for 6 days/week for 2 weeks. Results: The data was analyzed using one way ANOVA, repeated measure ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis Non parametric ANOVA test. Patients receiving a combination of subcranial myofascial distraction and condylar remodeling exercises (Group B) showed greater improvement compared to other two groups (Group C and A ).

Primary outcome includes success of the procedure as assessed by the patients. Results: The opinion of the patients immediately after and 24 hrs after the surgery has shown that 97.5% of our patient have accepted the technique. The vital parameters were quite stable in both intra operative and post operative period as compared to its pre operative values. Our technique in the study was well tolerated by most of the patients with only 5.8% patients had minor and non serious side effects.

Material and Method: Hyperlipidemia was induced by a single injection of Triton WR 1339 (400 mg/kg i.p.) in sprauge dawley rats. Aqueous extract of Madhuca longifolia bark (ML) (250, 500 and 750 mg/kg/day) was administered to hyperlipidemic rats for one week. Harvested serum was analyzed for lipid profile such as cholesterol, triglyceride, and lipoproteins. Oxidative stress parameters like Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT), Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and Glutathione reductase (GRh) and activity of lipolytic enzyme such as lecithincholesterol-acyltransferase (LCAT) & post-heparin lipolytic activity (PHLA) were estimated in the liver tissues of hyperlipidemic rats. Results: Result of the study suggested that treatment with ML 750mg/kg/day significantly (p?0.01) lowered the level of serum cholesterol, triglyceride phospholipids and increased in lecithincholesterol-acyltransferase activity & post-heparin lipolytic activity compared to Triton-treated rats. In addition, ML 750mg/kg/day significantly (p?0.01) reduced oxidative stress and normalizes the activities of SOD, CAT, GPx and GRh compared to Triton-treated rats. Conclusion: The current study provides strong evidence that intragastric administration of ML 750mg/kg/day has a beneficial effect in treating dyslipidemia with decrease in oxidative stress.","PeriodicalId":13848,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biomedical and Advance Research","volume":"74 1","pages":"270-274"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80001221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plasma fibrinogen level increases and platelet count decreases. Pregnancy induced Hypertension (PIH) is a syndrome complex of hypertension, oedema and proteinuria. In PIH, the physiological changes that occur in normal pregnancy are further aggravated and the woman is prone to develop Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) which is a chief pathogenic factor in PIH. Objective: 1.To estimate platelet count and serum fibrinogen in normal pregnant women and women with PIH.2.To do bleeding time and clotting time in normal pregnant women & women with PIH& compare both. Material & methods: Two groups of pregnant women were involved. The first group (control) comprises normal pregnant women. The study group consists of pregnant women with PIH. Platelet count was done by direct method. Serum Fibrinogen was estimated by Rapid Turbidimetric method. Bleeding time was measured by Duke Method & Clotting time was measured by Wrights capillary tube method. Statistical analysis was done using appropriate student t test & SD. Results: In PIH group, platelet count is moderately reduced (Mean 1.72, P=< 0.05) and bleeding time is prolonged (mean 117.45, P0.001), Serum fibrinogen level is reduced (mean 237.14, P 0.001) and clotting time is prolonged(mean 16.9,P 0.001). Conclusion: Pregnant women with PIH are more prone to develop coagulation abnormalities which may result in bleeding tendency. Hence, serial estimations of platelet count & bleeding time can be used to assess primary hemostatic function. Plasma fibrinogen level &clotting time measurement may be used to assess secondary hemostatic function.","PeriodicalId":13848,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biomedical and Advance Research","volume":"51 6","pages":"250-254"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91511865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
