Background- Psoriasis is a chronic inammatory relapsing skin disorder. Environmental and genetic factors play an important role in the development of disease. HLA-Cw6 most strongly associated with disease. There is also a difference in HLA-Cw6 positivity in respect to gender, which affect occurrence of disease in males and females. Aims & Objectives- This study was aimed to determine the association of HLA-Cw6 positive and negative psoriasis individuals had any signicant differences in respect to disease onset among male and female Materials & Methods- An Institute based Cross sectional study was done in a tertiary care center in eastern India. All patients attending skin OPD were included in the study. Detailed history and blood samples were collected from patients. HLA-Cw6 typing has done by sequence-specic PCR method. Results- HLA-Cw6 positive female patients had a signicantly early age of onset than male patients (p value-0.009334) (20.88 vs. 27.91yr), while HLA-Cw6 negative patients did not show any signicant difference of age of onset between male and female ( p value- 0.406905) Conclusion- Although men are more commonly affected than female, HLA-Cw6 positive psoriasis female patients show earlier disease onset. This results show that genetic variations in terms of HLA-Cw6 are reected in the age of onset among males and females.

Objective: determine serum lipid profile in diabetic and obese non-diabetic patients. Materials: 300 subjects comprising three groups, the first group included 100 diabetic patients (non-obese) with duration of diabetes over 5 years, the second group (obese) included 100 obese subjects (non-diabetic) with duration of obesity over 5 years, and the third group (control) included 100 healthy subjects. Methods: Lipid profile on the serum was performed with an auto analyzer using standard methods. Study design and period: Prospective Analytical Cross Sectional Study conducted in period from September 2006 to January 2008. Results: A significant (p value<0.05) increase in lipid profile results of diabetic and obese patients comparing to control while HDL-C showed significant decreasing. The cholesterol is significantly increased in females than males in diabetic patients, while the triglycerides are significantly decreased in diabetic females. The parameters showed insignificant variations between males and females in obese patients. Conclusions: In comparison to control group, DM & obese groups showed significantly increase in TG, TC, and LDL-C, but significantly decrease in HDL-C. Females showed significant increasing in TC and significant decreasing in DM group, while in obese group females showed insignificant decreasing in TG and TC.

Abstract Background The risky behaviors of youngsters or youths may further be worsened by the logic that university students are too many in number, lack facilities for sexual and reproductive health services and live away from their parents and free from parental control. To tackle the issue, evidence based intervention like improved access for youth’s friendly reproductive health services is crucial. In Ethiopia, despite the fact that much has been said about sexual and related issues of higher institution students, the assessment of the problem is not widely covered and search for solutions is mostly after the problem become deep-rooted. So, the purpose of this study was to assess the level of risky sexual behaviors among Wolkite University (one of the public higher institute) students. Methods A facility based cross-sectional study was employed using Cluster sampling to identify 1,123 students’ from each college, departments & sections of the colleges in the University, list of clusters (groups) was established with area of study and year of study. To select these clusters, list of cumulative frequencies of number of students was calculated. The total sample size was divided proportionately to the selected clusters and to both sexes (male and female). Accordingly, males and females were selected based on percentages calculated. Finally, a systematic sampling method was applied to select males and females from the cluster selected for the study after dividing the cluster in to male and female groups. Result In this emerging university ever use of substance reportedly was somewhat higher than a quarter, 28.7% (322) from a total of 1123 students. Among students reported ever use of substances, alcohol consumption was the predominant one, 157(14.0%), followed by khat, 57 (5.1%). Conclusion and recommendation The institute needs substantial progress in availing youth friendly reproductive health services as huge number of the youngsters, 225(20%) had risky sexual behavior and currently 7(1.5%) were HIV positive. Moreover, services for youths should be friendly and available with skillful professionals. This can be realized through the effort of tremendous stakeholders in the compound and elsewhere in the country like ministry of education/health or non-governmental organizations.

Background: NAFLD is an independent risk factor of CKD. CKD prevalences in NAFLD subjects are two times higher than non-NAFLD. The aim of this study is to know the correlation between NAFLD and CKD. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted on patients who held Abdominal USG in Wahidin Sudirohusodo & UNHAS hospital from January to December 2017. NAFLD subjects are male and female (18-60 years) who met NAFLD criteria and wanted to participate, non-NAFLD as control subjects. NAFLD is fat accumulation in hepatocyte without a history of alcohol consumption or other etiology of chronic liver disease. CKD definition and classification were based on KDIGO 2012. P value <0.05 was considered to be significant. Results: From the study period, we found 134 subjects (67 NAFLD subjects and 67 non-NAFLD subjects). Correlation analysis between NAFLD and eGFR showed that NAFLD subjects had more proportion of eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m2 than non-NAFLD subjects (40.3% vs 16.4%, p=0.002). NAFLD subjects significantly had more proportion of CKD Grade 3 than non-NAFLD subjects (37.3% vs 9%) while non-NAFLD subjects had more proportion of CKD Grade 1 and 2 than NAFLD subjects (56.7% vs 38.8% dan 26.9% vs 20.9%)(p=0.001). Correlation analysis between NAFLD and proteinuria did not show significant results (p=0.051). Conclusion: NAFLD subjects correlated with CKD events compared with non-NAFLD subjects.
