The use of methods of radiation diagnostics, which, being currently non-invasive and highly effective methods in the diagnosis of secondary liver neoplasms, are of great practical importance in the absence of the specificity of data from both clinical and laboratory methods in the examination of metastatic lesions of the hepatobiliary system organs. Purpose of the study: comparative assessment of the capabilities of radiation methods in the differential diagnosis of liver hemangiomas in patients with overweight and obesity. Materials and research methods. To do this, we conducted a two-step study. The study included 22 patients with primary hepatic hemangioma without liver dystrophy and 18 patients with hemangioma and obesity. At the next stage of the study, the location and number of hemangiomas were studied in 25 patients with hemangioma, but without obesity in the liver, and in 15 people with hemangioma and obesity. The exogenousness of the liver was studied according to the results of ultrasound in patients without (34) and with fatty degeneration of the liver (27). Patients underwent the following examinations: magnetic resonance imaging (MRT), computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (USI). Study results and discussion: The study showed that localization and hemangiomas in the liver with and without obstruction in 11 of 22 patients identified by MRI had only 1 hemangioma in the liver, which is 50% of the corresponding study group. Numerous hemangiomas were found in the liver in 3 out of 15 patients or in 20% of patients with grade II obesity. Results from MRT and KT studies indicate that patients with or without obesity in the liver are more likely to have single hemangiomas. With the help of ultrasound, it was revealed that in 31 out of 34 patients without steatosis, hyperechogenicity of the liver was observed.

Background: Trisomy 21 or Down's Syndrome is the most frequent chromosomal aberration affecting live birth infants with an incidence of 1 in 660 live births. This syndrome is often associated with congenital cardiac lesions, Incidence of which is 40-60 percent. This study was conducted to see the frequency of Down’s syndrome cases and pattern of heart diseases they have in one of the busy non-invasive pediatric cardiac laboratory of the country. Methods: It was a retrospective study conducted in the non-invasive pediatric cardiac laboratory and pediatric cardiac outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital over a period of two years (November 2007 to October 2009). The entire patients who had Down's Syndrome and had Doppler echocardiography were included in the study. Results: Out of total six thousand and fifty echocardiography, Down's Syndrome case was 205 (3.38%). Out of 205 cases, 185 cases were followed up in pediatric cardiac out patient clinic. Twenty cases had not reported in the out patient clinic. Seventeen of those patients had normal cardiac anatomy in Doppler echocardiography. Male were 43.90% and female were 56.09% amongst study group. Most of the patients are young infant (47.32%). Only 2.44% are in more than 10 years age group. Murmur was audible in 86.49% cases in study group and developmental delay was present in 100% of the cases. Doppler Echocardiography was found as most sensitive and specific investigation for detecting congenital heart disease. A-V canal defect was the commonest association (15.60%). Congenital heart disease was not detected in 8.29% cases. Surgical treatment was advised in 52.19% cases, Device closure was advised in 16.59% cases, medical management was advised in 21.46% cases. Conclusion: Down's syndrome is a very common chromosomal anomaly in our country. Incidence of this syndrome is increasing as number of working women, late marriage and elderly mother increasing. So, multidisciplinary approach for managing this disease should be adopted immediately. Keywords: Down's syndrome; Congenital heart disease.

Study Objective: To analyse risk factors and perinatal mortality structure in patients with various types of diabetes mellitus (DM) over the last 30 years in specialised settings. Study Design: retrospective single-site cohort study. Materials and Methods. We have studied 42 medical records containing cases of perinatal death of foetus or newborn in 1988–2018 in patients with DM1 (n = 20), DM2 (n = 10), gestational DM (n = 12). Study Results. The most common complication in pregnancy was preeclampsia combined with chronic placental insufficiency (47.6%). The most common risk factors of perinatal death were inadequate glycemic control in 1st trimester (69.0%), absence of preconception preparations (66.7%), preconception overweight and obesity (42.8%), and chronic arterial hypertension (28.6%). There were 38.1% antenatal deaths, 16.7% intranatal deaths, and 45.2% cases of postnatal mortality. The major causes of perinatal foetal mortality in 26.2% cases were placental disorders, 16.7% were associated with foetus growth retardation, diabetic fetopathy and respiratory distress syndrome. Conclusion. DM during pregnancy was associated with a higher risk of perinatal death. Timely preconception preparation, BMI normalization and a consolidated approach to term and mode of delivery can reduce the risk of perinatal mortality in women with various types of DM.

Objective. Overweight is one of the health problems that often occur in children and adolescents throughout the world, both in developed and developing countries. Study results in USA showed yearly increase of overweight prevalence in children aged 2–19 years old. In addition, based on the results by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009–2010 in United States, the highest percentage of overweight and obesity by age group was found at 12–19 years old (33.6%). Basic Health Research/Riskesdas’s data in 2013 showed the prevalence of overweight in adolescents aged 16–18 years old in Indonesia reached the highest value of 11.5%. Moreover, most teenagers see their body images as a match between self’s and others’ ideal perception. Teenagers with positive body image tend to be more confident and also easier to get along with other people, especially their peers. In this study, researcher aimed to investigate the relationship between teenagers who have excess body weight with body image, whether it had positive or negative impact.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Data collection was done from December 2017 to January 2018. Data collected were anthropometric measurements (weight and height) and the King College London Body Image Questionnaire's filled by participants. From 400 subjects who filled the questionnaires, a total of 350 participants matched the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Chi square test was done as data analysis.Results: Chi-square analysis for excess body weight status in relation to body image scores showed no relationship (p=1,000).Conclusions: There was no significant relationship between excessive body weight and body image.

Background: Normal growth and development requires vitamin D, and its deficiency compromises long term health and increases the risk of chronic disease. Severe vitamin D deficiency include rickets, osteomalacia, osteoporosis, increased risk of fracture, tooth loss. Studies indicate that vitamin D insufficiency (less severe than deficiency) is associated with a wide range of illnesses and chronic conditions, including type 1 diabetes, hypertension, multiple sclerosis and many types of cancer. Currently world is facing an unrecognized and untreated pandemic of vitamin D deficiency. This study aims at showing the relation between Vitamin D status and obesity in adolescent children and to know the dietary factors, life style factors like physical activity contributing to overweight and obesity in adolescents.Methods: Study design: This is an observational study of 30 overweight and obese adolescents based on BMI were studied and their Vitamin D levels were assessed.Results: A total of 14(46.7%) overweight and 16(53.3%) obese adolescents Vitamin D levels were assessed. 20(66.7%) had vitamin D levels <20ng/ml that is in the deficiency range.4(13.3%) had in the insufficiency range (21-30ng/ml), 6(20%) had in the sufficient range. Results shows vitamin D levels were significantly less in obese and overweight adolescents.Conclusions: Study results confirm that Vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency is common to obese and overweight adolescents, this may help to explain the relationship between obesity and several chronic diseases that are associated with poor Vitamin D status.

One of the biggest problems of modern medicine is the difficulty in early diagnostic and effective treatment of HCV infection due to its wide distribution, latent form and terrible consequences as a formation of liver cirrhosis (CP) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is important to mention, that the rate of progression of liver fibrosis. It is an important medical and social problem that the number of patients with NAFLD, overweight and obesity is constantly increases [9]. Due to the high prevalence of NAFLD and CHC, these two pathologies will progress and contribute to the progression of fibrosis, and depending on the genome of the virus and metabolic syndrome. There is a high risk of developing CP and HCC even after achieving a stable virological response.The main aim of our investigation was to assess the stages of fibrosis by using non-invasive methods for patients with overweight and obesity who being treated for HCV infection (with posthepatic fibrosis).
