Insulin Resistance (IR)  enhances the liberation of unbound fatty acids from adipocytes, resulting in elevated levels of circulating unbound fatty acids. The aim of this study is to evaluate some biochemical parameters in the sera of T2DM and compared between T2DM patients with and without hypertension. Material and method: 60 T2DM patients participated in the current study; these patients were split into two groups, 30 T2DM with HP and 30 T2DM without HP. Patient samples were obtained at the Diabetes Research Centre Al-Mustansiriyah University in Baghdad, Iraq, between January and April of 2021. the two study groups in comparison with thirty healthy control subjects. Results: results obtained from this study showed that there is a significant difference in ( Age, BMI, WHR, FBS, HbA1c, TC, TG, HDL, LDL, VLDL, C-peptide, HOMA-IR, Cortisol), while there is non-significant difference in urea and creatinine between patients without HP and control, in the other hand,  there is a significant difference in all parameters determined in this study between T2DM with HP and control. Last but not least, there is a significant difference in WHR, FBS, urea, creatinine , C-Peptide, HOMA-IR and cortisol and there is non-significant difference in the other parameters determined in the study. Conclusion: From the results obtained in this work, it is concluded that the relationship between T2DM and HP is proportional, patients with PH shows higher WHR and FBS and that’s back to the higher body fats, urea and creatinine is significantly increased in patients with HP because of the impair damage in the kidney do to the high pressure, there is direct relationship between age and T2DM infection, the BMI and WHR is one of the most effected risk factors for the injury of T2DM. lipid profile parameters is associated with T2DM because the elevation in the body fat will raise the BMI and WHR and cause insulin resistance that leads to T2DM, renal function parameters will be raise as a response for the damage that effect the nephrons of the kidney, level of C-peptide increased due to the body’s try to keep the level of glucose in the normal range and HOMA-IR is increased because of the insulin resistance occurs in the body . last conclusion is that the level of cortisol is effected by some of inhibitory drugs so it is drop down to a low levels. More studies should be done in this subject to improve the outcomes and find new ways to control and have a good way to diagnose T2DM .","PeriodicalId":517007,"journal":{"name":"Al-Salam Journal for Medical Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141337362","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}

This study describes the roles of microflora in digestion and absorption of nutrients, modulation of the immune system, and reproduction components and newborn development. Alongside this, it reports the interplay between the bacteria and the central nervous system, which underpins the behavior and mental health.

The research also aimed to determine the level of these indicators in patients who suffered from recurrence of the infection. Methods: ELISA technology was used to determine the level of immune indicators, Results the percentage of patients infected with OLP was 48.9%, while those infected with OLP+HCV, OLP+HBsV, and OLP+HSV-1 were 9.4%, 6.2%, and 5.2%, respectively. Some immune indicators are in higher concentrations in females than in males. While there was variation in the levels of some other measured indicators, as they appeared in higher concentrations in patients infected with OLP+HBsV than in other groups, followed by the group of patients infected with OLP+HCV. In the group of patients with OLP, the infection was recurrent at a rate of 93.6%, while the non-recurrence rate was 6.4%.

Typically, antibiotics are mostly employed in animals for the purpose of treating and preventing infections, as well as promoting growth. The utilization of antibiotics in animals can lead to the presence of antibiotic residues in food products, including milk, eggs, and meat. It is possible for these residues to cause a lot of bad things, like the spread of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics to humans, immune system problems, allergies, and even cancer (with sulphamethazine, and other drugs). The most harmful consequence of residual drugs is the transfer of resistant antibiotic germs to individuals, aided by the mobility traits of resistance. Controlling the consumption of antibiotics in cattle is imperative in order to mitigate these detrimental effects. The issue should be communicated to individuals and local protocols through formal education.

The results showed that the antibiotic Imipenem had the most effect on the bacterial isolates under study, while the bacterial isolates showed high resistance to the rest of the antibiotics. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for 3 antibiotics, namely, Gentamycin, Amikacin and Amoxicillin.

Bacterial isolates were selected on the basis of their most frequent urinary tract infections and their resistance to the effect of antibiotics (K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus). The amount of the mixed effect was determined by mixing Eucalyptus with three antibiotics, namely Amikacin and Gentamycin Amoxicillin. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the isolates under study was compared before and after mixing the antibiotics. The effect of mixing was a synergistic effect for all bacterial isolates.

This study aimed to investigate the association between Trichomonas vaginalis infection and hormonal and immune parameters (Vitamin D and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels). A cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2022 and October 2023. A total of 92 women participated, including 67 patients with recurrent vaginitis (characterized by burning, itching, and discharge) and 25 healthy controls. High vaginal swabs and 5 ml of venous blood were collected from each participant. Serum levels of Vitamin D, TSH, and inflammatory cytokines were measured using immunofluorescence techniques. Women infected with Trichomonas vaginalis had significantly elevated serum Vitamin D levels (P=0.0144), while the differences in TSH levels between the two groups were not statistically significant. Although associations between TSH, Vitamin D, and Trichomonas vaginalis infection were observed, these correlations did not reach statistical significance. This study suggested that Trichomonas vaginalis infection may be associated with increased serum Vitamin D levels in affected women. The lack of a significant change in TSH levels and its weak association with the infection indicate a complex interplay between hormonal balance and vaginal infections. Further research is needed to explore the implications of these findings, particularly in the context of infertility and immune modulation during vaginal infection.","PeriodicalId":517007,"journal":{"name":"Al-Salam Journal for Medical Science","volume":"13 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140492078","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}
