Due to increased unhealthy eating disorders in people, they have developed an unhealthy weight which is causing them to be weakened and causing pain especially at joints. For the diagnosis conventional radiography was never helpful because it is not for soft tissues whereas MRI is been using in muscoskeletal as modality of choice. \u0000Methods: total 600 patients were included in this prospective study with acute knee pain held at Lahore. 1.5 T MRI is used to rule out meniscal tears. Duration was of one year. Scans were reported by 2 expert radiologists and spss version 25.0 is used for frequency analysis. Asymptomatic patients were excluded from this study. \u0000Results: Knee meniscal tear frequency was ruled out in symptomatic patients including acute knee pain. Frequency was determined from 600 patients by determining male and female in them. Positive meniscal tear findings were discriminated by negative meniscal tear findings. Men has high ratio of meniscal tears because of many factors as compared to women. \u0000Conclusion: Jumping, supports, running and high intensity physical activities can be the cause of meniscal tear. Early evaluation of tear is necessary for the treatment of symptoms such as acute knee pain etc. Magnetic resonance imaging is non- invasive useful muscoskeletal imaging modality which can detect the tear even at very small grade such as grade 1. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":245917,"journal":{"name":"Medical Science Journal for Advance Research","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117205165","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}

You often see the color on the skin or the white parts of the eyes. The yellow color is caused by the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a pigment that leaks into the blood when red blood cells break down. This study aimed to identify jaundice and its relationship to the occurrence of jaundice in newborns with blood groups and its relationship to anemia, to study jaundice, to reveal its causes and what are the methods of diagnosis and treatment methods in all respects, and to clarify the extent of its spread. To the effect of jaundice on the health of the newborn and to know whether the effect of jaundice persists for advanced periods of the patient’s life, the study reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which are: Anemia, yellowing of the skin and eyes, and an enlarged spleen are the symptoms of jaundice, a hereditary condition brought on by a genetic defect in the membrane of red blood cells. The red cells in hemolytic jaundice are less elastic, rounder, and more fragile than normal red cells. Red blood cells frequently become caught in constrictive blood vessels, such as the spleen, which causes them to degrade and result in anemia. An enlarged spleen results from red cell blockage of the spleen. This occurs when red blood cells release their hemoglobin. The heme fraction then produces bilirubin, and too much bilirubin causes gallstones to develop even in young children. Iron-rich red blood cells are also destroyed by excess iron.","PeriodicalId":245917,"journal":{"name":"Medical Science Journal for Advance Research","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123569517","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}

The most common symptom is chronic, recurrent joint inflammation. When patients are advanced, joint deformities and impairments may cause major impediments in the cardiac, skin, as well as other tissues and organs. A protein called cellular CCN3 is implicated in many biological processes such as cell adhesion, migration, as well as proliferation. Additionally, CCN3 has a role in a number of pathological processes, such as fibrosis, angiogenesis, and wound healing. CCN3 can be released from the cytoplasm. CCN3 may also be an inflammatory component in the course of RA. Future therapy approaches that focus on the activities and mechanisms of action of these proteins may result from better knowledge of how CCN proteins alter the pathophysiological processes underlying these types of arthritis and successfully reduce patients' pain (Wei et al., 2020). It was discovered that RA sera and tissues had increased levels of all CCN family members. IL6 production and CCN3 expression are correlated with disease activity (Giusti & Scotlandi, 2021). \u0000Methods: Between November 2021 and April 2022, a study including 70 patients with RA who met four or more 2010 American College of Rheumatology and European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) classification criteria for the condition and 70 healthy persons serving as control groups was conducted. All subjects had their disease activity score (DAS28-ESR), clinical activity index (CDAI), and rheumatoid factors (RF) detected by latex agglutination. By using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the levels of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (ACCP) and CCN3 in human serum samples were determined (ELISA).The age group of both the patients and the controls included in this study was 20-70. RA was found to be high in individuals of the age group >40 years, at a percentage of 71.4%. The mean age was 46.2±10.3 years for patients and 1.7±0.5 for controls.Results: The results clearly showed high serum CCN3 levels in patient groups with RA compared to control (P = 0.0001). CCN3 and ACCP have a significantly positive association at control (P = 0.0001). According to DAS28-ESR, there were significantly increased concentrations of CCN3 in severe patients at P values of 0.0001 in comparison to mild patients. \u0000Conclusions: The biomarker CCN3 is a good prognostic marker for the severity of RA. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":245917,"journal":{"name":"Medical Science Journal for Advance Research","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133154346","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}

A genetic history that is high in risk, when paired with genomic markers and environmental exposures, triggers a series of actions that not only results in synovitis and arthritis, but also affects a great number of organs that are not related to the joints. The identification of novel autoantibodies playing key roles in different stages of disease remains an issue of interest for RA. Therefore, autoantibodies are necessary to assist in making a diagnosis and prediction more quickly in RA. Anti-Carbamylated Protein antibodies are a different class of anti- transformed protein antibody that is often found in the blood of RA patients. Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis has a recently discovered biomarker, which is an antibody called anti-carbamylated protein (CarP). Our aim is to evaluate the usefulness of anti-CarP as a diagnostic tool for RA. Participants and methods: The study conducted on 60 people diagnosed with RA as well as 60 people who served as healthy controls. Both the disease activity score (DAS28) and the health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) were evaluated. Estimates were made based on laboratory examinations such as ESR and rheumatoid factor (RF). Anti-CarP and Anti-CCP antibodies were measured by enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay. Results:Anti-CarP levels were considerably higher in the patients with RA compared to the group that provided as a control (p > 0.000). Therefore, the sensitivity and specificity for anti-CarP antibodies were 39% and 98% respectively, while the sensitivity and specificity for anti-CCP antibodies were 83% and 95% respectively, and for RF were 68% and 83% respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) for anti-CarP antibodies was 0.67. \u0000Conclusions: \u0000Anti-CarP antibodies had comparatively lower sensitivity and slightly higher specificity than Anti-CCP.These findings suggest that anti-CarP antibodies works as an additional role in the diagnosis of RA.","PeriodicalId":245917,"journal":{"name":"Medical Science Journal for Advance Research","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129879302","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}
