Despite significant numbers of cases, biomarkers related to iron status and development of anaemia in these patients has not been looked upon extensively. Few biomarkers have been studied, one of which is serum hepcidin levels. We aimed to estimate the serum hepcidin levels in patients with CKD and its correlation with its successive stages. Materials and Methods: The study design was cross-sectional observational study. 51 patients of CKD KDIGO stage II to V were included and patients of obstructive uropathy or malignancy or transplant recipient were excluded from the study. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between serum hepcidin levels and Stages of CKD in terms of eGFR. Results: The mean serum hepcidin levels which were found in Stage II, III, IV and V of CKD patients was 65.48, 116.03, 136.61 and 160.37 ng/ml respectively. There was a strong negative correlation between eGFR and serum hepcidin level, and this correlation was statistically significant (r = -1.0, p = <0.001). The Krushkal-Wallis Test also provided p value of <0.001 when stages of CKD and serum hepcidin levels were correlated. Conclusion: There was significant positive correlation of serum hepcidin with the stages of CKD (P < 0.001) and the levels of serum hepcidin were found to be significantly higher as the stage increased. Thus, serum hepcidin may be used as a marker of iron metabolism, prognosis and progress of disease in the CKD patients.","PeriodicalId":19492,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89389697","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}

After 3–4 weeks of development, the adult fly emerges to locate and colonize a host. The aim of this article was to investigate the morphological, bioecological, and systematic characteristics of the family Nycteribidae (Insecta: Diptera).

Methods: In this retrospective study, stroke patients hospitalized in our rehabilitation clinic were screened. Patients' age, gender, type of stroke, affected hemisphere, spasticity, functional ambulation category (FAC), mini-mental status, length of pre-rehabilitation and rehabilitation period, Brunsstrom staging, and Barthel index were investigated. Results: One hundred eight patients were included in the study. The mean age was 64.9±14.8. The mean length of pre-rehabilitation was 16.2±12.8 and rehabilitation was 20.7±9.1 days. A significant negative correlation was observed between the length of the rehabilitation period and all Brunnstrom sub-assessments after rehabilitation. A significant positive correlation was observed between the length of the rehabilitation period and the change in Brunnstrom stage for upper and lower extremity values, the stroke effect scale after rehabilitation, and the change in stroke impact scale value. A significant negative correlation was observed between pre-rehabilitation time and the Barthel index before and after rehabilitation. Conclusion: The prolongation of the pre-rehabilitation period is not a negative factor for functional gain in rehabilitation. The rehabilitation period of the patient should be decided by considering the functional status of the patient.","PeriodicalId":19492,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Research Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84736266","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}

Clinical examinations done for all patients prior to surgery include examination of oral and para oral tissues and evaluation the intermaxillary space and the type of occlusion. In order to measure the density of the formed bone between living bone and the implant surface, radio- graphic evaluations using CBCT were performed at intervals of 15, 90, 180, and 270 days after surgery. Result: None of the patients displayed any indications or symptoms of soft tissue pain, tenderness, redness, or inflammation around the implant site. The soft tissue and bone around the implant should heal normally. The follow-up period was continued by all patients. Radiographic evaluation showed significant higher bone density in study group than control group after 15, 90, 180 and 270 days.

A tomato crop was grown on these different substrates for three months. The tomato fruits of each substrate were analysed morphologically and physicochemically. The main results of the physico-chemical properties show that the shape coefficient and density gave good results with a round shape and a density lower than 1.

At JOSCO, the Science/Mathematics, Agriculture/ICT and the Social Studies classes were randomly selected from the five level 300 classes and all the students in the three classes served as the experimental units. In effect, a ten-week period experimental tuition and evaluation on Educational Statistics was conducted and the data on the percentage of statistical concepts mastered by the teacher trainees were collected for the study. Tabular and graphical analyses on the data were carried out for the verification of the learning curve theory. Ordinary differential equations were used to derive the model for the prediction of the percentage of statistical concepts mastered by the teacher trainees. Graphical and numerical residual analyses were also conducted for the model adequacy checking. In all, the learning curve was successfully verified and the derived model was also found to be adequate for the prediction of the percentage of statistical concepts mastered by the teacher trainees at any point in time.
