The relationship of anti-Mullerian hormone levels and urine cortisol in women with chronic abdominal pain

Pregnancy anxiety is a common problem with a prevalence of 14-54% and is the highest in the third trimester. Pregnancy anxiety is associated with neurotransmitter dysregulation and endocrine changes in the Hypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal (HPA) axis pathway through the increase of synthesis and the release of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) and cortisol to suppress endorphin hormone production. This study aims to determine the relationship of endorphin hormone levels to pregnancy anxiety. This study was an observational study using a cross-sectional approach to 57 pregnant women. The anxiety level was measured by using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) and the ELISA kit with plasma specimens was employed to examine the endorphin hormone levels. The results showed that endorphin hormone levels acted as predictors of pregnancy anxiety (p = 0,000). Keywords: Anxiety, Pregnancy, Endorphin

Candida albicans is a normal flora in several areas of the human body and has opportunistic properties, so that if conditions support, it will be able to transform into pathogens (Ramali and Werdani, 2001). Candida can become pathogenic if there are predisposing factors, one of which is diabetes mellitus (DM), the frequency of underwear replacement (Anindita, 2006) and the use of contraceptives that affect the balance of estrogen hormones (Amelia, 2009). Researchers are interested in discussing the relationship of vaginal hygiene, blood sugar levels and estrogen hormone levels with vaginalis candidiasis.The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship of vaginal hygiene, blood sugar levels and estrogen hormone levels with vaginalis candidiasis.This research is a quantitative research with a type of analytical research studies. The research design used was a cross sectional comparative study. It was carried out at the Bhayangkara Hospital Polyclinic and Padang Pasir Health Center as well as Nanggalo. The population in this research were all women of fertile age who came to the obstetric polyclinic who conducted Visual Acetate Acid (IVA) Inspection. The sample in this research is the population that meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The hypothesis of this research is the relationship between vaginal hygiene, blood sugar levels and estrogen hormone with vaginalis candidiasis.There is a relationship between vaginal hygiene, blood sugar levels and estrogen hormone with vaginalis candidiasis.The conclusion of this research is that the dominant factor with vaginalis candidiasis is vaginal hygiene with an OR value of 11.37.

Abstract Background/Purpose Most studies examining the components of the fear-avoidance model have examined processes at the group level. The current study used ecological momentary assessments to: (a) investigate the group and intraindividual relationships between pain fear, avoidance, and pain severity, (b) identify any heterogeneity between these relationships, and (c) explore the role of moderators to explain such heterogeneity. Methods Seventy-one pediatric patients with chronic abdominal pain (M = 13.34 years, standard deviation = 2.67 years) reported pain fear, avoidance, and pain severity four times per day over 14 days. Results Results indicated significant individual differences in the relationship between pain fear and pain avoidance predicting pain severity. Child age helped explain the heterogeneity in the relationships between pain avoidance and pain severity such that older children had a stronger and more positive relationship between these variables. The random effect between pain fear and pain severity also indicated a moderator trend of child age such that older children were likely to have a stronger and more positive relationship. Conclusions The present study extends the fear-avoidance model by highlighting the importance of identifying potential individual differences when examining pain fear, avoidance, and pain severity. Furthermore, the current study suggests that child development should be considered in the model. However, future randomized control designs are necessary to explore the causal relationships between pain fear and avoidance on pain severity and potential developmental differences.

Aim. To work up a mathematical model for calculation of the levels of pituitary-thyroid hormones system by least squares method in rats with experimental hypothyroidism. Methods. To study the relationship of hormones levels regression analysis was used. The search of coefficients was performed using the least squares method. Investigations were carried out on rats, which were divided into six groups of 12 rats each: the first group was control, in the animals of second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth groups hypothyroidism was induced by daily intragastric administration of tiamazol in following doses: 2.5; 20.0; 10.0; 5.0 and 1.0 mg per 100 g of rat body weight for 3 weeks. Results. Regression analysis was carried out, the type of regression as well as parameters were chosen; statistical analysis of the relationship of hormones was conducted based on the obtained results. By comparing the calculation results of the laboratory analysis sufficiently high reliability of the developed model was set up. The deviation of the arithmetic mean value of the level of thyroid stimulating hormone, produced on the basis of experimental and calculated data, is 2.7%. The accuracy of thyroid stimulating hormone levels calculations increased with the decrease of thyrostatic medication dose. The relative error while calculating the free thyroxine levels in the same groups of rats did not exceed 2.15%, accounting for 1.64; 1.34; 0.36 and 2.15%, respectively, when administered daily 20.0; 10.0; 5.0 and 1.0 mg of antithyroid drug per 100 g body weight. One can argue about the reliability of the constructed model to reproduce the performance levels of the hormones of the pituitary-thyroid system. Conclusion. In the absence of modern high sensitive immunochemiluminescent diagnostic methods the results can be used for thyroid-stimulating hormone levels calculation as one of the major markers of the thyroid gland functional state.

The Relationship

The relationship between migraine and a large number of other diseases has been studied to varying degrees. Both clinical and population-based studies, cross-sectional and longitudinal, have been performed, indicating a relationship of migraine with ischaemic stroke, epilepsy, vertigo, psychiatric disorders, sleep disorders, pain disorders, and others. The association of migraine with depression is one of the most extensively studied comorbidities. The bidirectional nature of this comorbidity indicates possible shared genetic factors. Furthermore, the risk of migraine chronification is increased in migraine patients with a depression. Also, anxiety and bipolar disorder show clear associations with migraine. Sleep disorders have been reported to occur more often in migraineurs than in persons without migraine. A clear association was found for restless legs syndrome and familial advanced sleep phase syndrome. Furthermore, associations have been described with insomnia, daytime sleepiness, sleep apnoea, and narcolepsy. Among pain disorders associated with migraine are low back pain, fibromyalgia, and abdominal pain. The magnitude and the background of these comorbidities remain unclear, and should be further investigated. Other described comorbidities of migraine include syncope, movement disorders, asthma and allergies, gynaecological disturbances, obesity, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and cancer.
