Comparison of appropriate piperacillin/tazobactam doses in Korean obese patients with cancer based on different body size descriptor equations in a tertiary care hospital

Background: Obesity and dyslipidemia, especially in children and adolescents coupled with impaired blood glucose metabolism and elevated blood pressure may result in atherosclerosis in the older ages. This study was conducted to assess the association between high levels of CRP with obesity.Methods: Details including height and weight for BMI and serum for C reactive protein estimation was collected for all 134 patients.Results: 60.4% were females and 49.6% were males. Among the obese patients, clinically raised CRP levels was observed in 29.2% and elevated CRP levels in 45.8% levels, while in overweight patients, 21.4% had clinically raised CRP and 46.4% has elevated CRP levels. In normal BMI patients, elevated CRP was seen in 22% and clinically raised in 1.9%.Conclusion: Detection of CRP levels in overweight and obese patients is imperative in the early stages itself to prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Introduction: Chronic periodontitis is the inflammation of the gingiva extending into the supporting structure of teeth. Periodontal disease is characterized by loss of clinical attachment due to destruction of the periodontal ligament and loss of the adjacent supporting bone eventually leading to tooth loss. Obesity is unusual or unnecessary fat deposition that may harm health. A number of hypotheses for biological reactions among obesity and periodontal disease have been anticipated. Objectives: To determine the frequency of ideal weight, overweight and obese patients in dental outdoor of FMH Pakistan. Study Design: Cross-Sectional Study. Setting: Medical Outdoor at Tertiary Care Hospital in Pakistan. Period: 15th January to 14th July 2017. Material & Methods: A total 100 patients came to the medical outpatients department between 25 to 45 years of age were included. Patients satisfying the inclusion criteria, subjects BMI score were checked by classifying him/her obese, overweight or normal weight. Periodontal pocket depth was observed by WHO probe of one tooth from each male and female patient. Frequency of periodontal disease was seen in subjects. Results: Age range in his study was from 25 to 45 years with mean age of 36.9 ±7.51 years. In 100 patients 66 (66%) were females & 34 (34%) were males and with male to female ratio 1.9:1. Periodontal disease was seen in 47 female patients (71%) and in 24 male patients (70%). Pocket depth was present in over weight and obese patients more than normal weight. Conclusion: current study accomplished that there is positive association of periodontal disease in overweight and obese patients. The incidence of periodontal disease was highest in female obese patients.
