Objectives: To determine the effect of Age, Gender and its correlation on pulmonary functions of Forced Vital Capacity and Slow Vital Capacity in Group I (18-24 years) and Group II (25-30 years) with respect to Body Mass Index.  Methodology: Sixty healthy adults between 18-30 years were included in the study. Participants were subdivided into Group I (18 to 24 years) and Group II (25 to 30 years) each group having 15 males and 15 females. The parameters considered were expiratory reserve volume, tidal volume, inspiratory capacity, forced vital capacity and slow vital capacity. Spirometer RMS HELIOS 401 was used. Procedures were explained to each participant; best values from 3 maneuvers were documented and were subjected to analysis.  Results: It is noticed a significant difference in various parameters of pulmonary function. As age increases there was an increase in body mass index and the lung volume also increased. Overall males had higher pulmonary function compared to females, males in Group II (25-30 years) was better compared to males in Group I (18-24 years). With an increase in body mass index, pulmonary function was increased in males compared to females. Age, gender, age, and gender interaction effect with respect to Body Mass Index was seen.  Conclusion: Values obtained can be used as reference standard for estimation of lung volume for age group 18-30 years. In future, Spirometry can be used as a clinical assessment and management tool in the field of speech language pathology, by modifying respiratory patterns to control lung volumes, phonations and the flow of speech.

Introduction. An important reserve that provides adaptation processes in the immunoregulation system is the possibility of its various subsystems to redistribute structural and functional relationships between them. The approach from the perspective of systemic multivariate analysis will allow us to determine the main functional relationships that arise or are violated at different periods of traumatic disease in patients with an increased body mass index (IBMI) during polytrauma in the immune response as a whole. Aim. The aim of this study was to analyze the functional state of the immunological protection system for traumatic disease in patients with IBMI. Materials and methods The integral indicators of immunogenesis were determined using a systematic multivariate analysis on the basis of a dynamic study of 1344 complex immunograms in 224 patients with IBMI with polytrauma and a different initial value of BMI. Patients were divided into 3 groups: group I - 88 patients with BMI of up to 29.9 (26.1 ± 3.1); group II - 84 patients with BMI of up to 30.0 - 39.9 (35.2 ± 3.8 ), group III - 52 patients with BMI > 40.0 (46.2 ± 5.8). The study was conducted on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 30th and 360th days from the moment of receiving a polytrauma. Results. In the functional state of the immune system as a whole, certain regularities were identified in patients with IBMI with polytrauma: impairment of immunoreactive processes was prolonged for 1 year or more from the time of polytrauma, regardless of BMI, their nature is regular and unidirectional, have periods of decline and increase in activity; the degree of damage, the ability of compensatory possibilities and the ability to restore them depending on BMI, since the initial deviations of the integral indicator are almost identical in all groups of patients; the immune mechanisms at all times are most determined by the state of the cell link and complement system for patients of I and III groups. Moreover, the development mechanism of secondary post-traumatic immunodeficiency, which is associated with the inclusion of extended T-suppression and a decrease in IgA concentration for more than 14 days, depends on BMI; a clear cooperation of cellular and humoral relationships, which is aimed at compensating for its consequences, was determined in patients of group II as well as active participation in the immune reactions of HLA-DR + lymphocytes as a delicate adaptation mechanism. The development of functional instability of the system occurred mainly due to the T-cell link a year after the case of polytrauma. Conclusion. Our analysis made it possible to prove objectively on mathematical models that traumatic disease is a long process. Clinical and pathogenetic aspects of immune disorders are beyond question and provide the basis for the application of the proposed treatment algorithms and changes in stereotypes regarding the treatment approach as a whole.

Obesity is a major health problem of excessive adipose tissue accumulation in body which leads to problem in Asian countries like India as a result of rapidly changing life style which involves consumption of calorie rich food with lack of physical activities. While the complication of obesity such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and osteoarthritis are well known, but less emphasis is traditionally placed on the effects of obesity on the respiratory system. Obesity is responsible for lessening the lung volume and capacities by reducing both lung and chest wall acquiescence and also there is an increase in resistance to outflow of air through the airways. Purpose of present study is to establish a relationship between Forced Vital Capacity and Body Mass Index (BMI). The present study was undertaken in department of Physiology in Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College, Jabalpur MP in year 2018. The subjects comprised of both male and female 50 individuals came to Physiology department for Pulmonary function test from other departments of the college. After explaining and training the subjects Spirometry of all individuals was done by Computerised Spirometer in well ventilated room, after written consent in Department of Physiology. Tools used in present study were chi square, t-test etc.

Objectives. The objective of this study is to assess the state of oral health, from the perspective of the number of teeth present, according to the body mass index as a representative element of health. Materials and methods. This study consists of 180 patients from a private dental practice. All 180 patient records were reviewed for an assessment of the number of teeth present and the body mass index at menopausal age. The cohort of patients was divided into two groups, a group of women aged 40 to 54.9 years and the second group, which included women aged 55 and over. The 2 groups were divided based on premenopausal (group I) and postmenopausal (group II) age. Results. The average number of present teeth (based on radiographs) for the entire population of 180 patients is 22.02 teeth. In group I, for the 109 women in the premenopausal group, the average number of teeth is 23.94. The total number of teeth for the 71 women in the postmenopausal group is 19.07. The average BMI for the entire group of patients is 27.24 kg/m2, with a lower value in group I, 26.25 kg/m2, compared to group II, 28.78 kg/m2. Discussions. The average number of teeth in the premenopausal group is higher than in the postmenopausal group. The average body mass index places the whole series of patients in the overweight category. Conclusions. This study shows that the relationship between BMI and the number of lost teeth is positive and proportional, BMI increases with increasing number of teeth lost at premenopausal age.

Background: Obesity, measured on the basis of body mass index (BMI), is an independent cardiovascular risk factor. However, some studies have reported the “obesity paradox” after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The relationship between BMI and clinical outcomes after PCI has not been thoroughly investigated, especially in Bangladesh.Method: This cross sectional observational study was conducted at National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases, on total 100 patients who underwent PCI with two equally divided groups on the basis of BMI of Asian ethnicity: Group I (BMI < 23 kg/m2) and Group II (BMI e” 23.0 kg/m2). In-hospital outcomes were observed and recorded after PCI.Results: The mean BMI of study population was 23.9 ± 1.9 kg/m2. The sum of occurrence of adverse in-hospital outcomes was 14.0%. Complications were significantly (p < 0.01) higher in Group I than Group II. Among all adverse in-hospital outcomes, only acute left ventricular failure was found to be statistically significant between groups (p < 0.01). The difference of mean duration of hospital stay after PCI was higher in Group-I which was statistically significant (p < 0.01). Diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia were found to be the independent predictors for developing adverse in-hospital outcome (OR= 1.68 and 1.46; 95% CI = 1.25 – 2.24 and 1.16 – 1.83; p = 0.018 and 0.040, respectively). BMI was inversely associated with adverse in-hospital outcome after PCI (OR = 0.95; 95% CI = 0.91 – 0.98; p = 0.007).Conclusion: BMI is inversely associated with adverse in-hospital outcomes after PCI. The underweight and normal weight people are at greater risk to experience in-hospital adverse outcomes than overweight and obese people following PCI.Cardiovasc. j. 2017; 10(1): 31-39

Tavares EF, Dalbosco IS, Abucham J, Russo EMK. True insulin and intact proinsulin levels in acromegalic patients. Eur J Endocrinol 1996;134:549–53. ISSN 0804–4643 To determine whether proinsulin (PI) contributes significantly to the immunoreactive insulin (IRI) concentrations in acromegalics, we measure PI, "true insulin" and IRI in a group of acromegalics compared with a control group. Serum PI was determined by the immunofluroimetric assay (IFMA). Insulin was also determined by an IFMA that measures true insulin and by a radioimmunoassay (RIA). We performed an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in a total group of 46 subjects: 10 controls with normal OGTT and body mass index <25 kg/m2 (control group I), 10 controls with normal OGTT and body mass index > 25 kg/m2 (control group II), 15 patients with active acromegaly and normal OGTT and 11 patients with active acromegaly and IGT. Plasma glucose, serum GH, insulin and proinsulin were measured in all OGTT samples. Basal levels of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) were measured in acromegalics. Mean body mass index in acromegalics with normal and impaired glucose tolerance were significantly higher compared with control group I and similar when compared with control group II. Proinsulin increased during OGTT in acromegalics with impaired glucose tolerance compared to control group I, and only fasting proinsulin compared to control group II. In normal OGTT acromegalics, only fasting proinsulin was increased. The RIA insulin during OGTT was significantly higher for both acromegalic groups compared to control group I and only at fasting when compared with control group II. This difference was not evident when insulin was measured by IFMA. These results suggest that in acromegalics, hyperinsulinism measured by RIA was at least in part due to hyperproinsulinism.

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the vitamin D level among vaccinated and non-vaccinated pregnant women with COVID-19. Study Design: Observational/comparative study Place and Duration: The study was conducted at the department of Gynae and Obs Quaid-e-Azam International Hospital, Islamabad and Qazi Hussain Ahmad Medical Complex, Nowshera for Duration of six months from October 2020 to March 2021. Methods: Total 120pregnant women had coronavirus disease were presented. Informed written consent was taken for details demographics age, gestational age, parity and body mass index. 18-45years was the women ages. Patients were categorized into 2-groups. Group I had 60 vaccinated patients and in group II 60 non-vaccinated pregnant women. Blood sample of all the patients were taken for the level of serum 25-hydroxy vitaminD3 [25 (OH) D3]. Vitamin D deficiency was calculated and compared among both groups. Sufficient serum vitamin D level was considered >30ng/ml. SPSS 23.0 version was used to analyze complete data. Results: In group I age was 28.4±8.55 years with mean BMI 24.08±1.18 kg/m2 and in group II age was 27.41±6.37 years with mean body mass index 23.12±4.42 kg/m2. Mean gestation age in group I was 33.12±9.42 weeks and in group II mean gestational age was 34.07±5.63 weeks. Mean parity in group I was 3.88±7.27 and in group II 4.01±4.14 was mean parity. We found 28 (46.7%) primigravida cases in I-group and 30 (50%) primigravida females in II-group. In group I 51(85%) patients had vitamin D deficiency and in group II 54 (90%) had deficiency of vitamin D. Among 51 deficient women of group I, number of severe deficiency (<10ng/ml) women were 8 (13.3%), deficiency (10-20ng/ml) were 13 (21.7%) and not-sufficient (20-30ng/ml) were 30 (50%) and in group II prevalence of severity (<10ng/ml) patients were 10 (16.7%), deficient cases (10-20ng/ml) were 15 (25%) and not-sufficient cases (20-30ng/ml) were 29 (48.3%). Deficient vitamin D serum levels were 15.01±1.22 in group I and 14.34±4.12 in group II. Conclusion: In this study we concluded that prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was highly among pregnant women and most probably in non-vaccinated pregnant patients but did not find any significantly difference among both groups.
