Objective: To determine the frequency of raised C-reactive protein in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection. Design:Cross sectional descriptive study. Setting: Department of Medicine at Liaquat University Hospital (tertiary care teaching hospitals).Period: April 2012 to September 2012. Patients and methods: All patients above 12 years of age, of either gender with history of nausea,vomiting, recurrent abdominal pain, dyspepsia or abdominal discomfort, heartburn, bloating and halitosis through casualty outdoordepartment (COD) or admitted in medical unit were evaluated and enrolled in the study. For the detection of Helicobacter pylori the 3 ccvenous blood sample of relevant patients was taken in a disposable syringe. After detecting the H. pylori infection, the H. pylori individualswere further evaluated for serum C-reactive protein by taking 3cc venous blood sample in a disposable syringe and sent to laboratory foranalysis. The patients with raised CRP were also evaluated for their lipid profile to detect dyslipidemia. The data was collected onpredesigned proforma and then entered, saved and analyzed in SPSS version 10.00. Results: During six month study period total 92patients with Helicobacter pylori infection were recruited and studied for serum C-reactive protein. The mean age ± SD for overallpopulation was 43.22±8.31, whereas the mean age ±SD for male and female population was 41.24±7.94 and 44.76±9.42respectively. The raised CRP was detected in 61(66%) patients (p=0.02). The mean value ± SD of raised CRP in male and femalepopulation was 6.30±2.86 and 7.82±3.21 respectively. Of 61(66%) patients with raised CRP the dyslipidemia was identified in 45(74%)patients (p=0.03). Out of 45, the raised triglycerides was observed in 08(18%) patients, low HDL in 10(22%) patients, raised LDL in13(29%), raised cholesterol in 07(16%) whereas 07(16%) patients had mix dyslipidemia. Conclusions: The raised CRP was identified inpatients with Helicobacter pylori infection, the dyslipidemia was observed in raised CRP population.

Abstract:: Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) is currently the most frequently reported neurological complication of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This article will elaborate on the clinical features of inpatients with COVID-19 and AIS and the pathophysiological mechanism of AIS under the background of COVID-19. Through a detailed search of relevant studies, we found that the incidence of AIS among COVID-19 patients varied from 0.9% to 4.6%, and AIS has been observed in many people without underlying diseases and cardiovascular risk factors as well as young people. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of COVID-19 patients with AIS was higher than historical AIS patients, and the proportion of large vessel occlusion (LVO) was about 64.2%. COVID-19 patients with AIS have commonly high levels of D-D dimer, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein (CRP), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), suggesting systemic hyperinflammatory and hypercoagulable state. The pooled mortality of COVID-19 patients with AIS was 38% and the mortality of LVO patients is higher (45.9%). Compared with COVID-19-negative AIS patients in the same period in 2020 and 2019, COVID- 19 patients with AIS had a worse prognosis.
