Medicinal Properties of Njavara Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) cv.IJAEMSJORNAL
A study was conducted to find out the therapeutic value of medicinal rice (Oryza sativa L.) cv. Njavara. Njavara rice for the study was procured from Rice Research Station, Moncompu. For assessing the efficacy of Njavara on the blood sugar levels, a feeding trial for 3 months was conducted among five subjects who were diabetic and willing to participate but not on medication. Blood sugar levels were monitored during 0, 45 and 90th day of supplementation. The results revealed that for all subjects’ blood sugar levels decreased after supplementation study. Diphenyl picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, superoxide anion radical scavenging activity and Vitamin E level were also ascertained. The findings revealed that after the supplementation of Njavara, the DPPH scavenging activity, hydroxyl radical activity, superoxide anion-radical scavenging activity and vitamin E level of the blood samples of all the five subjects under study have increased.

Risk of Hypoglycemia Associated with Different Insulin Delivery Systems in Ty...dylanturner22
Closed-loop insulin delivery systems have the potential to improve glycemic control for type 1 diabetes patients by reducing hypoglycemia risk compared to open-loop systems. However, this meta-analysis found no significant difference in hypoglycemia risk between closed-loop and open-loop systems based on current studies. Dual-hormone closed-loop systems may reduce risk according to one study. Closed-loop was associated with more daytime hypoglycemia and risk decreased with longer diabetes duration. Larger and longer studies are still needed to fully evaluate hypoglycemia risk with closed-loop systems.

There are over 25 million people in the United States suffering from diabetes. For those with type 1 diabetes, extreme fluctuations in blood glucose levels can cause health issues. The researchers aimed to create a closed-loop system to automatically administer the correct insulin dose by accurately modeling blood glucose concentration (BGC) based on food intake, activity, and stress levels. The researchers modeled type 1 diabetes cases using carbohydrate intake, bolus insulin, and basal insulin as inputs. They tested modified Wiener block modeling on data collected over 3-5 days from several subjects. While some cases produced good results, the researchers concluded that more than three days of data is generally needed to develop an accurate glucose model.

1) The study examined the prevalence of overweight/obesity and its association with hyperglycemia in 84 type 2 diabetes patients at a hospital in Saudi Arabia.
2) The results found a high prevalence of obesity, with two-thirds of patients being obese and nearly 87% being either overweight or obese. Higher BMI was associated with poorer glycemic control.
3) A lack of physical activity contributed to higher BMI and poorer glycemic control. The study concludes that nutrition status, obesity prevalence, and lifestyle factors like physical activity are strongly associated with diabetes treatment outcomes.
Under nutrition is often an invisible and silent
emergency.2 It recognizes that hunger and malnutrition are rooted
in poverty, deprivation, and under development, and that they are
the result of inadequate access to the basic requirements for
nutritional well-being, including safe and adequate food, care,
health, education and a clean environment.1 Present study was
designed to find the efficacy of the nutritional intervention for the
recovery of impaired carbohydrate metabolism and correlation of
weight and height with PP-Sugar and BMI after nutritional
rehabilitation.105 test and 100 control SAM children without
infection, of 1 to 5 years of age and either sex were enrolled. Test
group was given treatment of nutritional intervention therapy,
providing 2.5 to 3gm Protein and 90-100 kcal / kg body
Weight/day, for the three months.
Their blood sugar, BMI, weight and height were measured before
and after the nutritional therapy. Before the nutritional
intervention treatment P values for F and PP blood glucose, BMI,
Weight and height were insignificant suggestive of similar baseline
characteristics at enrollment. After nutritional intervention
treatment P values for F and PP blood glucose, BMI, Weight and
height were significant suggestive.
The r value of Pearson correlation coefficient for Sugar PP in the
study group was, showing poor positive correlation with height and
r value for BMI in the study group was showing poor negative
correlation with height.
The r value of Pearson correlation coefficient for Sugar PP in the
study group was, showing poor negative correlation with weight
and r value for BMI in the study group was showing poor positive
correlation with weight.
Depending on results the investigators conclude that for the speedy
recovery of the impaired carbohydrate metabolism in SAM
children it is the most effective food supplement.

Prevalence of Iron Deficiency Anaemia among Pregnant Women in Calabar, Cross ...IOSR Journals
Iron is a component of a number of proteins including haemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochromes and enzymes involved in redox reactions. Inadequate iron intake can lead to varying degrees of deficiency, from low iron stores to early iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anaemia and this is dangerous to both baby and mother. The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia among pregnant women in Calabar, Cross River State Nigeria. Seventy pregnant women within the age range of 15-45 years from University of Calabar Teaching Hospital were recruited as subjects in this study. The control consisted of fifty age-matched apparently healthy non-pregnant women . The tests that were carried out using standard method include include full blood count (packed cell volume, haemoglobin, mean cell haemoglobin, mean cell haemoglobin concentration and red cell count), serum iron, total iron binding capacity, transferrin saturation,serum ferritin and soluble transferrin recptor. The prevalence of anaemia and iron deficiency anaemia were found to be significantly higher (p<0.05)><0.01)><0.01) increased in pregnant than non-pregnant. It was also shown that pregnant women in their third trimesters and multigravidae had the highest prevalence of iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia while pregnant women in their second trimester had the highest prevalence of anaemia. In conclusion the study has shown that the prevalence of anaemia, iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia among pregnant women in the studied area were still high and can be considered public health problem.
Thyroid hormones play an important role in pregnancy and fetal development. The study assessed the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in 40 pregnant women in Una District, Himachal Pradesh. Results showed 10% of pregnant women had thyroid dysfunction based on elevated TSH levels. Most pregnant women (over 60%) had normal hemoglobin levels, though some had mild or moderate anemia. The study concludes there is a high prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy even in rural populations, so universal screening is needed to identify issues and start timely treatment given the impacts on mothers and fetuses.
Reduced levels of some iron parameters of protein energyAlexander Decker
This document summarizes a study that assessed iron-related parameters in protein energy malnourished children in Calabar, Nigeria compared to healthy controls. The study found significantly lower levels of hemoglobin, packed cell volume, and serum ferritin in malnourished children, but higher serum iron and transferrin saturation. Serum ferritin levels decreased with age in malnourished children. There were no differences in iron parameters based on type of protein energy malnutrition. The results indicate reduced iron stores in malnourished children compared to controls.

This study examined the relationship between progesterone levels, biochemical components of amniotic fluid (AF), and placental traits in Iranian crossbred ewes. Sixty ewes were given progesterone treatments and bred. At birth, amniotic fluid was collected and analyzed for progesterone and biochemical levels. Placental characteristics were also measured. Results showed significant positive correlations between placental efficiency and cotyledon density, and a negative correlation between placental weight and total amniotic fluid volume. Progesterone levels correlated positively with placental weight but not other placental traits. The study suggests metabolic changes in amniotic fluid levels reflect fetal conditions.
This study examined the efficacy of Moringa oleifera in treating iron deficiency anemia in women of reproductive age. Sixty anemic women were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group consumed 100g per day of a mixture of Moringa oleifera and jaggery for 30 days, while the control group continued their normal diet. Hemoglobin levels increased significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group. The study demonstrates that Moringa oleifera with jaggery can effectively improve hemoglobin levels in anemic women.

Calcium intake is weakly negatively associated with iron status j nutr 1999Michel Rotily
Calcium intake is weakly but consistently negatively associated with iron status in girls and women from six European countries. A cross-sectional study of over 1,000 girls and 500 women found that higher calcium intake was associated with lower levels of serum ferritin, a marker of iron stores, after adjusting for potential confounding factors. A consistent inverse association was seen between calcium intake and serum ferritin in both girls and women, regardless of whether calcium was consumed simultaneously with iron. The study suggests that higher dietary calcium intake is weakly negatively associated with blood iron status in girls and women.
Dietary iron intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire in a cohort of 58,615 Japanese adults with no history of cardiovascular disease or cancer. During follow up, 2,690 deaths from cardiovascular disease occurred. In men, higher dietary iron intake was associated with increased risk of death from total stroke, ischemic stroke, and total cardiovascular disease. Each of these associations showed a dose-response relationship with increasing quintiles of iron intake. Dietary iron intake was not associated with cardiovascular mortality in women. The results provide some support for the hypothesis that iron intake increases cardiovascular risk, at least in Japanese men.

This study examined the relationship between serum thyroid hormone levels and the risk of breast cancer. The study analyzed thyroid hormone and antibody levels in 100 breast cancer patients and 75 control individuals without breast or thyroid disease. The mean values for thyroid hormones (T3, T4) and anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies were significantly higher in breast cancer patients compared to controls. The results indicate an increased prevalence of autoimmune and non-autoimmune thyroid diseases in breast cancer patients, suggesting that abnormal thyroid gland characteristics may influence breast cancer progression.

Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase And Risk Of Recurrent Spontaneous AbortionCourtney Esco
This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies and recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). The study tested sera from 58 women with a history of RSA and 58 healthy control subjects for anti-TPO antibodies. The study found no significant association between the presence of anti-TPO antibodies and a history of RSA, as 12 of the RSA patients (20.7%) tested positive compared to 8 of the controls (13.8%). Based on these results, the study concluded that testing for anti-TPO does not appear to be useful in evaluating patients with a history of RSA.
Thyroid Abnormalities in Correlation with Stage of CKD in Tribal Population o...ijtsrd
Chronic Kidney Disease is a worldwide health problem with an increasing incidence and prevalence. Abnormalities in the structure and function of the thyroid gland and in the metabolism and plasma concentration of thyroid hormones are common in patients with CKD. In view of variability of thyroid profile in CKD patients in previous studies, a prospective study of various thyroid function has been undertaken to establish a correlation if any between thyroid dysfunction and severity of renal diseases . Total number of 50 patients with Chronic Kidney Disease on conservative management fulfilling the criteria for CKD who were admitted in Department of Medicine under nephrology unit, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar Hospital Raipur C.G. , during the period of February 2018-March 2018 were selected in this prospective study. The result showed that out of the 50 patients with CKD 29 patients had low T3 syndrome 0.2-2.0ng ml, mean 0.67 which accounts for 58 of the patients, 12 patients had low T4 syndrome 0.5-8.5µg ml, mean 5.65 which accounts for 24 of the patients and 4 patients had primary hypothyroidism TSH 20µIU ml. Excluding Primary Hypothyroidism, analysis of serum T3, T4 and TSH in the study subjects shows very high significance, p 0.001. Thyroid Dysfunction occurred in 66 of the patients with chronic kidney disease in our study, it does not indicate a state of hypothyroidism, but a reflection of the state of chronic illness malnutrition. The low T3 state of CKD can be viewed as being protective, promoting conservation of protein. The number of patients with low T3 syndrome progressively increases with the severity of renal failure.

Research Article Summary
Article’s Title: Higher TSH Levels Within the Normal Range Are Associated With Unexplained Infertility
Studies showed that ~10%-30% of couples that have unprotected intercourse over one year and do not succeed to conceive have unexplained or idiopathic interfertility. Hyperprolactinemia and thyroid dysfunction or thyrotropin are the known causes of infertility. Both of them are associated with irregular menstrual in women, but sometimes the normal levels of them associated with unexplained infertility, which the reasons are unknown. The main aim of this study is to compare the level of prolactin and TSH in women with normal fertility and women with unexplained infertility and with the exception of those women who have an oligospermic male partner. The treatment infertility is so expensive for couples.
The researchers hypothesized that unexplained infertility in women caused by a higher level of prolactin and TSH compare to a controlled group of women who have normal fertility, but their partners are severely oligospermic. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie unexplained infertility will help couples to have less costly treatment.
The cross-sectional studies were used to obtain the data. Researchers studied a total of 239 female patients. The female patients were between the age of eighteen and thirty-nine that were diagnosed with infertility and without any irregular menstruation. They included 187 women in this study who did not conceive over one year of unprotected intercourse (unexplained infertility group), and 52 women that their husband had oligospermia. They exclude women who had hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
Even though the researchers supported their findings from previous studies, but their research was different from those earlier studies. The other studies included various factors that cause the level of TSH to be high or elevate and leads to infertility. These researchers used a strict method to ensure their findings, and the purpose of their method was to show that even a mild difference in thyroid function can cause infertility or unexplained infertility.
Thus, about 75% of the patients’ prolactin and TSH levels were measured in the laboratory of Partners HealthCare, and the rest were measured in an outside laboratory. They included only the patients that had TSH ≤5 mIU/L. These two groups of women were studied within the 13-year study period, and their characteristics were compared. The unexplained infertility group was older than the other group that their husbands had male factor problems.
The results show that the unexplained infertility group had a higher TSH level than the severe male factor even the researchers excluded the UI (unexplained infertility) group that their partners had low morphology still the results were the same. About 27% of UI group women had ≥2.5 mIU/L TSH, which twice the percentage of the severe male factor group (13% mIU/L). The data showed that the pro ...

1) The paper presents a probability analysis of slope stability using the Monte Carlo simulation method to account for uncertainty in parameters like pore water pressure, cohesion, and internal angle of friction.
2) The results of the Monte Carlo simulation method are compared to other recognized methods of slope stability analysis like Bishop simplified, Fellenuis, Janbu simplified and corrected, Spencer and Lowe-Karafiath which use limit equilibrium.
3) The probability analysis finds that the failure probability is most affected by the standard deviation of pore water pressure, cohesion, internal angle of friction, and correlation coefficient between parameters, though individual limit equilibrium methods only account for one of these parameters in each analysis.
This document summarizes an abstract from the 9th International Scientific Conference on Applied Sciences and Engineering. The abstract discusses some biochemical markers that can predict pre-eclampsia. It states that tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) directly damages vascular endothelial cells and increases endothelial permeability, which may result in secretion of vasoactive substances and increased vascular permeability and coagulation. This involvement of TNF-α in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia means it may identify patients at high risk for the condition and serve as a marker of severity. Preeclamptic women also have abnormal lipid metabolism and profiles due to pre-eclampsia, and this alteration in lipid metabolism may play a key role in developing symptoms.

Abstract
Background: Studies on association between iron status and thyroid function of
pregnant women was never conducted in Jaffna District of Sri Lanka. Therefore, this
study was carried out to find the relation between maternal iron status and thyroid
function at third trimester. Materials and Methods: Four hundred and seventy seven
pregnant mothers were randomly selected among six Medical Officers of Health (MOH)
divisions from twelve in Jaffna District, Sri Lanka. Maternal serum thyroid stimulating
hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (fT4), thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) and ferritin
levels were assessed. Results: Among the 477 pregnant women mean age, weight,
height and gestational period were 28.95(±5.46) years, 63.02 (±11.56) kg, 154.39
(±6.00) cm and 39.33(±1.37) weeks respectively. In this study, maternal median serum
ferritin level was 23.4 µg/L and it ranged from 1.2 to 197.0 µg/L and the 21.0 %
(n=100) were iron deficient. Inter quartile range (IQR) of serum ferritin was (Q1=14.3
and Q3=36.6) 22.3 µg/L. Further IQR of deficient and sufficient groups of mothers on
iron status were 4.80 and 20.17 µg/L respectively. Median values of the serum TSH,
free T4 and TBG levels were 1.9 mIU/L, 12.6 pmol/L and 21.4 IU/mL respectively. The
serum TSH level ranged from 0.20 to 16.40 mIU/L while serum fT4 and TBG levels
ranged from 10.1 to 28.2 pmol/L and 0.8- 86.9 IU/mL respectively. Among the total
subjects, only 3.4 % (n=16) were biochemically hypothyroid. Maternal serum ferritin
level was positively significantly correlated with serum TSH level (r=0.110, p=0.022)
and positively correlated with free T4 level (r=0.003, p=0.945) and TBG level (r=0.059,
p=0.220). Conclusion: Among the study subjects in Jaffna district, iron deficiency
(Serum ferritin <12 µg/L) was 21.0 % while only 3.4 % were biochemically hypothyroid
(TSH> 5.2 mIU/L). Maternal serum ferritin level was positively significantly correlated
with maternal serum TSH level (r=0.110, p=0.022) and positively correlated with free
T4 level (r=0.003, p=0.945) and TBG level (r=0.059, p=0.220).
