Cardiovascular and cerebrovacular complications form a major challenge in the management of the The Metabolic Syndrome. The risks of development are compounded by simultaneous occurrence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), dyslipid emias, hypertension and other medical conditions. The significant increase in morbidity, mortality along with premature death and disabilities resulting from these conditions in both developed and developing is a matter of great concern. The article makes a microanalysis of Biochemical alterations associated with dyslipidemias in cases of metabolic syndrome.
Objective: To evaluate the effects of chloroquine phosphate on cochlear function using clinical and audiometric studies when administered in regular doses and in the recommended regimens, for the treatment of malaria. Study design and setting: Prospective, cohort, observational study, with convenience sampling, in a tertiary care hospital. Methodology: All subjects proved or presumed to be suffering from malaria and who received chloroquine phosphate treatment were inducted into the study. Base line clinical examination with detailed ear examination was carried out. Audiometric evaluation was carried out prior to treatment. All patients were treated with chloroquine phosphate tablets (1200mg) stat followed by 600 mg every 12 hours for 4 doses and paracetamol on a qrn basis. The study endpoints were development of ototoxic symptoms/signs or completion of the course as prescribed by the treating physician. Upon achieving any of the endpoints, the clinical examination and audiometric test battery was repeated.
The Metabolic syndrome is a modern epidemic and is considrred to be one of the major public health issues of this century. It is constellation of physical conditions and metabolic abnormalities commonly found in association with increased risk for development of Type II diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease and other medical conditions. Thyroid hormones play an important role in regulating energy homeostasis. In addition, thyroid hormones can regulate lipoprotein, glucose metabolism and blood pressure. Thus there is possibility of thyroid dysfunction (may be cause or effect) having an association with metabolic syndrome and its component. The study was aimed to find out occurrence of metabolic syndrome in hypothyroid patients and to determine the association between the components of metabolic syndrome and thyroid hypofunction.
The world population is noting an increasing trend towards development of particular diseases like Obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus. Some of them are turning into modern epidemics. These diseases can occur in isolation. Recent trends suggest the interlink age of the disease patterns leading to development of syndromes. One such syndrome is the Metabolic Syndrome. The Metabo1ic Syndrome is one of the major public health issues of this century. It is constellation of physical conditions and metabolic abnormalities commonly found in association with increased risk for development of Type 2 diabetes mellitus , Cardiovascular disease and other medical conditions. The article Deals with the Medical and Biochemical events occurring as a result of this developing medical Illness.
The Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and associated risk factors for shocker manufacturing industries in Haryana were carried out. A comparison of CTS and other upper hand extremities amongst traditional and semi-ergonomic shocker manufacturing workers in actual industrial environment has been analysed through questionnaire and physical tests. Fisher’s exact test and ‘t’ test are used for statistical data analysis. From Fisher’s exact test, it is observed that due to wrist/hand problems 80 % of traditional and 20 % of semi-ergonomic shocker manufacturing workers (p < 0.05), have been unable to perform the usual activities. The results reflect that the traditional shocker manufacturing workers are more CTS symptoms occurrence than the semi-ergonomic shocker manufacturing workers.
A container terminal layout is usually based on various requirements for container storage and transfer. One of the most important factors that affect the performance and the output of a containers terminal is the available area of the terminal. Consequently we will discuss the potentials that Durres Port has in facing up the traffic increase in container handling as well as the limitations that exist in the land area that is available for the expansion of the terminal. There are a number of factors to be considered like port congestion, traffic management and safety aspects in the terminal. This paper after analyzing the increment of the containers traffic, gives an overall picture of various operations in Durres port containers terminal.
This is a study of Transformational Leadership and its relationship with job satisfaction & organizational commitment among the employees of banking sector. This study was carried out in Jeddah, a commercial city of Kingdome of Saudi Arabia. The research concentrated on four commercial banks that are Al Bilad Bank, AL Rajhi Bank, Riyad Bank and SABB. 300 questionnaires were circulated to employees of banks operating in Jeddah. Full-time bank employees mostly working as trainee officers were our targeted population. The questionnaire consisted of 38 items, divided into four categories; transformational leadership, overall job satisfaction, organizational commitment and turnover intentions. Primary resources were used for collecting data in order to carry out research work. Multifactor leadership questionnaire developed by Bruce &Avolio (2009) was used to measure the respondents’ perception about the transformational leadership.
The consequences of the drug-triggered cues from nucleus to cytosol in the restoration of intracellular organelles, cell structure, and function were investigated. The synthesis of the ER-assembled transporters in the cytosol, primed by incubation with nuclei in the presence of ethanol, was manifested by a 26% decrease in the assembly of cell organelle-restoring vesicles, 30% decline in the transport of basolateral cargo, and a 34% amplification in production of the vesicles retained by endosomes. The disparity in the assembly of the Golgi organelle-, cell membrane-, and endosome-directed transporters was in the concurrence with the weakened potential of Golgi-membrane glycosyltransferases and sphingomyelin synthase, amplified acidic sphingomyelinase, and the increased apoptosis. Inadvertently, the composition of the vesicular cohort arriving to Golgi was dictated by ethanol-induced cues released from nuclei to the cytosol that from the outset produced in ER the core assemblies unlike controls.
The present research work was carried out to investigate the effect of storage and treatment on overall quality of the apple olive blended jam, and to develop a suitable combination of olive and apple fruits pulps for jam preparation. Jam prepared from various blends of apple and olive were studied for physico chemical properties such as,% acidity, pH, (TSS), % non-reducing and % reducing sugar and for sensory attributes namely, taste, texture, color and overall acceptability during three months of storage with an interval of fifteen days. Results indicated that titratable acidity was increased from 0.64 to 0.77%, with reduction in pH from 3.57 to 3.40. Non reducing sugar was decreased from 44.57 to 27.52%. On the other hand reducing sugar of all jam samples increased from 16.62 to 30.52%. TSS of jam samples was increased during storage from 69.37 to 70.43 0Brix.
In general relativity, the existence of space-time singularities plays a central role on the notion of black holes and the expanding universe. However, these two speculations have not been firmly verified in spite of the efforts of generations of physicists. The existence of space-time singularities is due to the spacetime singularity theorems of Hawking and Penrose, whose implicit physical assumption is the general validity of E = mc2 that leads to the unique sign for all the couplings. However, recently it is found that such an assumption is not supported by various experiments. In particular, the electromagnetic energy is not equivalent to mass. In fact, the Einstein equation with massive sources has no dynamic solution unless the gravitational energystress tensor with an anti-gravity coupling is added to the source.
