Proximal humeral fractures are a regular presence in clinics. In the past, the standard treatment method was conservative. The results and functional outcomes, on the other hand, were not favorable. The functional outcomes have been known to improve after the development of locking compression plates. The purpose of this study was to see how functional proximal humerus fractures were treated with locking compression plates fared.\u0000 \u0000 Methods: This cross-sectional interventional prospective study was carried out in the Department of Orthopedics, Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences. The study included all adult patients with closed two-part and three-part proximal humerus fractures who were reported within a week after the incident. Based on the sample size calculations and inclusion and exclusion criteria a total of n=35 patients were included in the study. Patients were followed up for 12months after surgery using a typical surgical method with a locking compression plate.\u0000 \u0000 Results: n=35 patients out of which n=19(54.2%) were males and n=16 (45.7%) were females. The distribution based on age involved in patients with fractures showed equal preponderance among 31-35 years and 20-25 years with n=9(25.71%).Neer's classification of fractures of proximal humerus was followed in this study. Most of the patients in n=25 (71.42%) cases were having Neer's Two-part fractures and three-part fractures were found in n=8(22.8%) and four-part in n=2(5.7%). The overall results in the study were 65.71% of patients had excellent results,20% had good results,8.5% had satisfactory results and 5.7% had poor results. \u0000 \u0000 Conclusion: Locking plates are a preferable therapeutic choice for proximal humerus fractures, particularly when the bone quality is poor and the fracture is comminuted. Complication rates can be reduced by using good surgical techniques and selecting the right situations. Proximal humeral internal locking plates continue to provide strong overall functionality.","PeriodicalId":30624,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives In Medical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47647133","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}

Iron, a transitional metal, has been demonstrated to play a key role in the pathophysiology of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, with a bidirectional link in which iron influences glucose metabolism, which in turn influences the iron metabolic pathways. The current study aimed to estimate the iron profile in Type 2 diabetes mellitus cases.\u0000 \u0000 Methods: This cross-sectional study was done in the Department of Biochemistry, Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Naganoor, Karimnagar. A total of n=100 cases of type II diabetes mellitus were included in the study and age and sex-matched healthy controls were also included in the study. Laboratory investigations included Fasting Blood glucose, Serum ferritin, Total iron-binding capacity, serum iron, and serum transferrin saturation. \u0000 \u0000 Results: The fasting blood glucose was found to be significantly higher in the diabetes mellitus cases. The serum ferritin mean values were 105.32 µgm/dl. In the controls, the range of ferritin levels was 145 µgm/dl. The serum ferritin levels were found to be significantly reduced in the study cases as compared to the controls. Similarly, the total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) of the cases was found to be significantly increased as compared to the controls. The serum transferrin levels were also found to be elevated in the study cases as compared to the controls.\u0000 \u0000 Conclusion: Iron is closely related to the development of diabetes mellitus. Elevated iron and ferritin levels are risk factors for diabetes and can lead to a variety of problems. Conversely in chronic diabetics, there is a tendency to develop iron deficiency anemia and other nutritional deficiency anemias as observed by the results of the current study. As a result, iron profile evaluation can be a valuable output of the expected investigations on diabetes and related problems.","PeriodicalId":30624,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives In Medical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49477834","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}

All patients who were admitted with severe acute pancreatitis and consented to take part in the study were enrolled. All patients were evaluated clinically, radiologically, biochemically and by the prognostic indices – APACHE II, Ranson criteria and intra-abdominal pressure measurement. A total of 55 patients were enrolled in this study. Intra-abdominal pressure was measured by intravesical technique using a Foley catheter.Intra-abdominal pressure was measured every 12 hours. Within 24 hours of admission, APACHE II score was obtained. Multivariate analysis was utilised for statistics.\u0000 \u0000 Results:Males comprised 73% of study population. Mean age was 41.23± 13.74 years (17- 83 years). Ten patients (18.81%) died. Among the non-survivors, the intra-abdominal pressure (20.1± 3.1073 Vs 8.97± 4.39) and the APACHE II (17.5 ±4.09 Vs3.93 ±4.345),were significantly greater, P value <0.0001.

This salt effect almost all the organs of the body but the evidences regarding its ill effects are very limited. Thus, no guidelines are there for the safe limits of Aji-No-Moto use. In current study we planned to analyses the histopathological effects of Aji-No-Moto on kidney.\u0000 \u0000 Methods: The study was conducted on 18 inbred adult albino rats of either sex. The rats of control group (C) received only standard diet with distilled water, low dose test group (T₁) rats received 0.5mg/kg of MSG dissolved in distilled water and high dose test group (T₂) rats received 1.5mg/kg of MSG dissolved in distilled water per orally for 28 days. After the experimental period, the rats were sacrificed to dissect out the renal tissue which was later subjected to histological processing and tissue sectioning.\u0000 \u0000 Observations: The kidney tissue sections of the control group (C) revealed normal renal architecture consisting of cortical labyrinth and medulla. The cortical labyrinth consisted of glomeruli, PCT and DCT whereas the medulla consisted of the ascending and descending limbs of loop of henle and collecting ducts. On the other hand, renal sections of low dose group (T₁) showed focal shrinkage of renal glomerulus and widening of the Bowman’s space. Furthermore, these changes were more pronounced in high dose group (T₂) along with hypercellularity of glomeruli, dilatation, hyperaemia and congestion in the intertubular cortical blood vessels and mononuclear cell infiltrate.\u0000 \u0000 Conclusion: Aji-No-Moto is the most widely used flavoring agent whose minimal dose for use has to be evaluated.
