The seasonal dynamics of mortality caused by the diseases of the circulatory system among population of gusar and khachmaz regions
The aim of the study was to evaluate the population mortality seasonal dynamics in the settings of emergency medical care availability. The study was conducted in Sumgait based on the medical certificates of death data analysis for 2013. The average daily number of deaths from all causes and from circulatory system diseases, the monthly number of death cases proportion in the structure of annual death cases, the proportion of deaths from circulatory system diseases among the total number of deaths were calculated. The average daily number of deaths from all causes was 4.42, including 2.72 cases - from circulatory system diseases. The average daily number of death cases from all causes below the annual average rate was observed in June, July, August and September, and when performing the seasonal analysis - in summer and autumn from circulatory system diseases - in January, June, September and December. The winter and spring increase in all-cause mortality rate was registered, whereas the mortality rate peak was characteristic for February and March. In the seasonality analysis the largest proportion of death cases number from circulatory system diseases in the structure of total annual mortality rate was in the spring. The proportion of deaths from circulatory diseases among the death causes of Sumgait population was 61.5±1.2%. In winter, the proportion of deaths from circulatory system diseases in the structure of causes of death from all causes was minimal (53.3±2.3%), and in the summer - the maximum (68.9±2.4%). The regularity of mortality seasonal dynamics in Sumgait is the winter-spring increase and summer decrease in all-cause mortality rate; distinctive feature of the mortality seasonal dynamics in Sumgait is associated with mortality risk increase in spring due to circulatory system diseases.
Range of intestinal microflora in patients with allergic rhinitis, atopic bronchial asthma and urticaria
Unique gut microbial colonisation patterns are associated with the onset of allergic disease in infants; however, there is insufficient evidence to determine if aberrant microbial composition patterns persist in adult allergic rhinitis (AR) sufferers. To compare the gut microbiome composition between adult AR sufferers and controls. Gut microbial composition in stool samples was compared between 57 adult AR sufferers (39.06 ± 13.29 years) and 23 controls (CG; 36.55 ± 10.51 years) via next-generation sequencing of the V3–V4 hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene. Taxonomic classification and identity assignment was performed using a reference-based approach with the NCBI database of 16S rRNA gene sequences. Species richness determined via the Shannon index was significantly reduced in the AR cohort compared to the CG (4.35 ± 0.59 in AR vs. 4.65 ± 0.55 in CG, p = 0.037); trends for reductions in operational taxonomic unit (OTU) counts, inverse Simpson, and CHAO1 diversity indices were also noted. Bacteroidetes (p = 0.014) was significantly more abundant in the AR group than in the CG. In contrast, the Firmicutes phylum was significantly less abundant in the AR group than in the CG (p = 0.006). An increased abundance of Parabacteroides (p = 0.008) and a reduced abundance of Oxalobacter (p = 0.001) and Clostridiales (p = 0.005) were also observed in the AR cohort compared to the CG. Adult AR sufferers have a distinct gut microbiome profile, marked by a reduced microbial diversity and altered abundance of certain microbes compared to controls. The results of this study provide evidence that unique gut microbial patterns occur in AR sufferers in adulthood and warrant further examination in the form of mechanistic studies.
Predictive factors in selecting patients with knee osteoarthritis for knee replacement: a single center experience
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is gaining acceptance among patients worldwide, knowing who benefits from surgery and who does not is detrimental. Comorbid conditions are detrimental for joint replacement surgery, and patient medical optimization is critical and sometimes challenging. TKA surgery was first performed in 1968. Since then, improvement in many aspects of the procedure is reported. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the predictive factors for outcome in TKA done at Aseer central hospital. Retrospective study of TKA cases done at a tertiary care hospital in the Abha region, Saudi Arabia from January 2006 to January 2012 was included in the study. We evaluated Knee function using Knee Society scoring system, and the percentage of each comorbidity in our patient study group was recorded. Female were more than males (83.33% vs. 16.67% males). comorbidities in the study group and their frequencies were: psychosocial factors (28.4%); severe joint disease (67%); additional joint disease (other knee, 59.4%; hips, 35.4%; spine, 34.2%); depression and anxiety (49.8%); hypertension (25%); asthma (14%); sleep apnea (8.4%); diabetes: HbA1c < 7 (82%); HbA1c > 7 (18%); obesity BMI < 30 (96.6%); BMI > 30 (3.4%); peripheral vascular disease (0.20%); and comparative pre- and postoperative knee scores with observed correlation showed significant improvement. Isolating the predictive factors of unfavored outcome may help total knee results.
IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF HORMONAL RECEPTORS IN ENDOMETRIUM OF LADIES WITH USELESS UTERINE DYING: A PLANNED CROSS-SECTIONAL EXAMINATION AT A TERTIARY CENTER
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is a major gynecologic hassle, with numerous remedy options. A good sized percentage of these sufferers go through hysterectomy. to analyze the hormonal milieu at the tissue degree, we semi-quantitatively assessed the estrogen and progesterone receptors in the endometrial samples of fifty DUB sufferers, by way of Immunohistochemistry. We observed a big boom (p < 0.001) within the concentration of both estrogen and progesterone receptors in patients with dysfunctional uterine bleeding, in comparison to the regular populace. We also mentioned a substantial growth inside the endometrial thickness (p < 0.001) of sufferers with easy endometrial hyperplasia. Our look at demonstrates the position of estrogen and progesterone receptors in the etiopathogenesis of dysfunctional uterine bleeding and within the alteration within the morphology of endometrium, consisting of easy endometrial hyperplasia. We suggest the usage of progesterone antagonists and selective progesterone receptor modulators within the remedy of patients with dysfunctional uterine bleeding, especially in people with endometrial hyperplasia, who convey the longtime danger of endometrial carcinoma with sustained endometrial estrogenic stimulation
