Aim: To compare serum electrolytes levels between Sickle cell and control group. Materials and Methods: Meta-analysis was carried out on the findings of ten published studies that were related to serum electrolytes levels of sickle cell anaemia patients. The pooled mean for serum electrolytes was estimated by using a random-effects model. Results: Pooled mean for serum sodium was lower in sickle cell anaemia with p value 0.04. However, potassium levels were higher in patients than controls with p value 0.01. Conclusion: Pooled mean reported in this study can be useful in working out the management of sickle cell anaemia.","PeriodicalId":8195,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Clinical and Laboratory Research","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83301357","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}

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 120 participants with PCOS and 120 healthy controls. After assessing the socio-demographic characteristics of the patients and their control, blood samples were drawn to carry out routine biochemical investigations and serum vitamin D. Results: Mean serum vitamin D levels in study group were lower as compared to controls. Vitamin D deficiency was present in 95.8% of women in study group and 85% of women in control group. Conclusion: Finding of lower vitamin D levels in PCOS women lends support to possible role of vitamin D in pathogenesis of PCOS. Screening for vitamin D deficiency in women with PCOS may provide better insight of its role in PCOS.","PeriodicalId":8195,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Clinical and Laboratory Research","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87517839","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}

Current evidence suggests that are coline in the areca nut is the key factor in initiating the disease process. Objective: The purpose of this study is to conduct the morphometric analysis of the epithelial and selected connective tissue changes related to capillaries and to determine mast cell density in different grades of OSF. Method: The study comprises 25 cases of OSF in varying grades (according to Pindborg and Sirsat classification) retrieved from the archives of department of oral pathology. The slides were prepared and stained in Hematoxylin and Eosin stain and 1% toluidine blue. All the slides are being studied under Trinocular research microscope Olympus BX-53 and further quantified in image capture software for morphometric analysis. Result: Morphometrical analysis of epithelial thickness and connective tissue changes highlightening the parameters of capillary density, luminal diameter and circumferences of the capillaries have shown that varying degree of alterations in different grades of OSF when the severity of the disease increases. This study also included the mast cell density analysis which have proven to undergo changes as the severity of the disease progress.","PeriodicalId":8195,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Clinical and Laboratory Research","volume":"112 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85859877","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}
