Risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases [STDs] were assessed among 54 male and 36 female patients attending a venereal disease clinic. Sociodemographic data and information on sexual behaviour/STD history were collected. Patients were examined and specimens taken for laboratory diagnosis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the significant predictors of genital infections among the male patients were: being unmarried, having multiple sexual partners, exposure to a symptomatic sexual partner, high frequency of intercourse per week, having repeated episode[s]of STDs and practising coitus interfemoris. In the female patients, exposure to a symptomatic sexual partner and high frequency of intercourse per week were the only significant predictors

ISSN 0804–4643 Autoimmune diseases and sarcoidosis may be related and, especially, the association between sarcoidosis and autoimmune thyroid disease has long been recognized. The frequency and type of endocrine autoimmunity was examined in a series of Swedish patients with sarcoidosis. Of all patients (N = 89) with documented sarcoidosis attending the Department of Pulmonary Medicine between January 1980 and December 1991, 78 patients (44 males and 34 females; median age at the time of the study 48 years, range 22–81 years) were examined at the Department of Endocrinology, Malmö University Hospital, in the present study. Fifteen patients (19.2%) had clinical or serological evidence of endocrine autoimmunity. Two patients had Addison's disease, both with polyglandular autoimmune (PGA) syndrome type II; evidence of thyroid autoimmunity was found in 13 patients, eight with clinical autoimmune thyroid disease (ATD) (two with Graves' disease and six with autoimmune thyroiditis), of whom two had PGA syndrome type III, and five with isolated positive thyroid serology: two patients had insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and one had premature ovarian failure. The frequencies of Addison's disease, clinical ATD and PGA syndrome type II were significantly higher compared with the frequencies found in the general population. In conclusion, a high frequency of endocrine autoimmunity in patients with sarcoidosis, occurring in about 20% of the cases, was demonstrated. Thyroid autoimmunity and polyglandular autoimmune syndromes occurred most frequently. Complex immunological and genetic mechanisms might explain the association of sarcoidosis and endocrine autoimmune diseases.

Objective: To clarify variations in the relationship between high-frequency activities (HFAs) and low frequency bands from the tonic to the clonic phase in focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (FBTCS), using phase-amplitude coupling. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled six patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy who underwent intracranial electrode placement for presurgical invasive electroencephalography at Osaka University Hospital (July 2018–July 2019). We used intracranial electrodes to record seizures in focal epilepsy (11 FBTCS). The magnitude of synchronization index (SIm) and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were used to analyze the coupling between HFA amplitude (80–250 Hz) and lower frequencies phase. Results: The θ (4–8 Hz)-HFA SIm peaked in the tonic phase, whereas the δ (2–4 Hz)-HFA SIm peaked in the clonic phase. ROC analysis indicated that the δ-HFA SIm discriminated well the clonic from the tonic phase. Conclusions: The main low–frequency band modulating the HFA shifted from the θ band in the tonic phase to the δ band in the clonic phase. Significance: In FBTCS, low-frequency band coupling with HFA amplitude varies temporally. Especially, the δ band is specific to the clonic phase. These results suggest dynamically neurophysiological changes in the thalamus or basal ganglia throughout FBTCS.

Background: Insulin resistance, a major pathogenic factor in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), has an inverse correlation with adiponectin; therefore, the role of adiponectin in the pathogenesis of GDM has been suggested. The study aimed to determine mean adiponectin levels and the frequency of hypoadiponectinemia in patients with GDM. Methods: The study was carried out at Dr. Ziauddin University Hospital, Karachi from June 2016 to December 2017. A total of 99 women of age group 15-45 years diagnosed with GDM on Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) at 24-28 weeks of gestations were included in the study. Patient’s data was recorded on proposed proforma, regarding age, gestational age, parity, ethnicity, Body Mass Index (BMI). Serum samples for quantitative estimation of Adiponectin were collected while performing OGTT and were analyzed on Immunoassay in conjunction with control materials. Mean±Std. was calculated for quantitative variables. Percentages and frequencies were calculated for categorical variables. For significant differences between categories, an independent t-test and Chi-square test were used. Results: High frequency of hypoadiponectinemia was observed in GDM women with mean adiponectin levels of 6.90±2.86 µg/ml (95%CI: 6.33 to 7.47). Out of 99 GDM women, 91(91.92%) had hypoadiponectinemia while 8(8.08%) had normal Adiponectin levels. A significant (p=0.05) association was found between BMI and hypoadiponectinemia. Conclusion: In the majority of GDM females, hypoadiponectinemia was observed. The high frequency of hypoadiponectinemia suggests further large-scale studies, are warranted to ascertain the diagnostic accuracy of adiponectin as a potential biomarker for GDM.

Introduction: The transplanted patient has a complex pharmacotherapy, with the pharmacist having an important role in the multidisciplinary team. Objective: To analyze the pharmaceutical recommendations made during the hospitalization of the patients in kidney and liver transplant units. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in which pharmaceutical recommendations from May 2017 to April 2018 were collected from the records contained in the database of the Clinical Pharmacy Unit of a University Hospital in Fortaleza, Brazil. The recommendations were categorized and analyzed based on the classification used in the institution. Results: There were 1241 pharmaceutical recommendations involving 325 patients and 1466 medications. The recommendations were more frequent during liver transplantation (54.2%, n = 672), with dose adjustments (18.2%, n = 122) and dilution / reconstitution (9.8%, n = 66) being the most predominant types. In kidney transplantation, recommendations for education about medication use (17.6%, n = 100) and treatment adherence strategies (17.6%, n = 100) were the most predominant. The most frequent therapeutic classes were systemic antibacterials (31.2%, n = 458) and immunosuppressants (25.1%, n = 368). The acceptance rate of recommendations for kidney and liver transplantation were 95.1% (n = 541) and 95.4% (n = 641), respectively. Conclusions: The present study showed a high frequency of pharmaceutical recommendations and these results demonstrate that the detection of drug-related problems generates pharmaceutical recommendations that can contribute to the reduction of negative drug-associated results and increase patient safety.
