Epidemiologische Studien

ZusammenfassungZahlreiche epidemiologische Studien zeigen, dass sich das Geschlechterverhältnis der Prävalenz depressiver Erkrankungen ab der 6. Lebensdekade – also nach der weiblichen Menopause – wieder annähert. Wir haben untersucht, ob sich dieser epidemiologische Effekt auch in der stationären Versorgung abbildet. Unter Verwendung der AGATE-Stichtagsdaten der Jahre 2000 bis 2004, wurde der Zusammenhang zwischen Geschlecht und Alter bei stationär behandelten depressiven Patienten analysiert. Der Zusammenhang zwischen Geschlechterverhältnis und dem Alter wurde mithilfe des Korrelationskoeffizienten nach Spearman sowie mit χ2-Test untersucht. In der 5. und 6. Lebensdekade lag die Sex-Ratio F/M bei 1,7:1, sie stieg in der 7. Dekade auf 2,2:1 und in der 8. Dekade auf 2,6:1 an. Anders als aufgrund epidemiologischer Studien zu erwarten wäre, nähert sich in der stationär psychiatrischen Versorgung das Verhältnis depressiver Patienten im Alter nicht an. Depressive ältere Männer sind also im stationären Versorgungssystem unterrepräsentiert.

Somatic Index

Gonado-somatic index and fecundity are tools for measuring the sexual maturity and ability of animals to reproduce.  This study investigates the reproduction of Trichiurus lepturus. Specifically, this aimed to determine the sex ratio, the GSI, the relationship between fecundity and total length, fecundity and total weight, fecundity and ovary weight. The Descriptive Method of research was used.  Percentage and chi-square was utilized in determining the percentage of occurrence and sex ratio respectively.   Pearson r Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation was used to determine the relationships of the parameters. The study revealed that females outnumbered males and the sex ratio for different month showed significant difference.  Spawning season was observed to occur in November and December as revealed in its GSI values and it synchronized with the full and new moon phases.  Fecundity is positively correlated with body weight, body size, and ovary weight where ovary weight is observed to be the best index for fecundity.  The results of this study could be used further for formal stock assessment of cutlassfish fishery.

AbstractObjective: This study aims to determine the correlation between risk factors and erosive esophagitis development.Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study on a consecutive series of 19.672 patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy between 01.01.2011-31.12.2017. A total of 3005 patients, diagnosed with erosive esophagitis, were included in the present study and stratified according to Los Angeles classification.Results: During the studied period we found 3005 patients with erosive esophagitis, sex ratio male to female was 1.3/1, the most common forms of esophagitis being grade A and B: 74.54% patients with esophagitis grade A, 14.80% patients with grade B; 5.29% patients were with grade C and 5.35% patients with esophagitis grade D. In severe esophagitis the male predominance was more prevalent (249 males, 71 female), with a sex ratio 3.50/1. The correlation of male gender with severe esophagitis was highly statistically significant (p < 0.0001, OR 2.97; 95% CI 2.25-3.91). Hiatal hernia was diagnosed in 1171 patients, the presence of large hiatal hernias, being an important predictor, with statistical significance (p < 0.0001, OR 3.41; 95% CI 2.22-5.21), for severe esophagitis development. Incidence of Helicobacter pylori infection was 11.51%, in the entire study group, with no statistical significant difference between patients with mild or severe esophagitis (12.02% vs 7.18%).Conclusion: Erosive esophagitis is a frequent disease, the most common forms being grade A and B. Male gender and the presence of hiatal hernia are the most important risk factors for erosive esophagitis development, in our study group.
