The protective effect ofand the association between breastfeeding andasthma has raised substantial interest and is a subject of debate.to study the relationship between asthma andfeeding patterns in children up to the age of 12 years in Diwaniah, Iraq with a focus on breast feeding. This is a prospective study accomplishedin the maternity and children teaching hospital in Diwaniah, Iraq during the period from January 2015 to March 2016. The study involves 1242 patients with the diagnosis of asthma and control group of 1350 healthy infants and children were chosen for comparison. The pattern of feeding and the period of breast feeding in both groups wererecorded together with other variables. sixty six percent (688 out of 1041) of patients with asthma ≤ 5 years were artificially fed and only 13.5% of them were breast fed.the rate of asthma is significantly less in children with breast feeding especially when the age interval under five years is taken into consideration. early,exclusive andprolonged breastfeedingprotects against asthma in children particularly in those less than 5 years of age.

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the antiproliferative pleiotropic effects of statins on thyroid function, volume, and nodularity. Subjects and Methods: One hundred and six hyperlipidemic patients were included in this prospective study. The 69 patients in the statin groups received atorvastatin (16 received 10 mg and 18 received 20 mg) or rosuvastatin (20 received 10 mg and 15 received 20 mg). The 37 patients in the control group, assessed as not requiring drugs, made only lifestyle changes. Upon admission and after 6 months, all patients were evaluated by ultrasonography as well as for lipid variables (total cholesterol, high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides) and thyroid function and structure. Results: After 6 months, no differences in thyroid function, thyroid volume, the number of thyroid nodules, or nodule size were observed in the statin and control groups. In a subgroup analysis, total thyroid volume had decreased more in patients receiving 20 mg of rosuvastatin than that in the control group (p < 0.05). Maximum nodule size had decreased more in those receiving 10 mg of rosuvastatin (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Our results suggest an association between rosuvastatin treatment and smaller thyroid volume and maximum nodule diameter; this could be attributable to the antiproliferative effects of statin therapy on the thyroid.

The Relationship

SummaryThe relationship between subsequent lengths of lactational amenorrhoea for individual women in a prospective study of breast-feeding women in Bangladesh was studied. The data indicate that previous length of amenorrhoea has significant predictive value for the subsequent length of amenorrhoea. Information on previous experience with lactational amenorrhoea should be therefore incorporated into guidelines for the introduction of family planning during lactation.

Background: Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective α-2 adrenergic receptor agonist with several diverse actions like sedation, anxiolysis, sympatholysis, analgesia, and decreased intraoperative anesthetic requirements (narcotic, inhalational). Intravenous (IV) dexmedetomidine can be used as an adjuvant in labour analgesia in preeclampsia patients as onset is faster and duration of analgesia is longer. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to determine the role of intravenous Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant in Labour analgesia in PIH.Subjects and Methods:This was a prospective study and was done in the department of Anaesthesia at Maheshwara Medical College. Our study included 60 full term pregnant women with preeclampsia, within 25 to 45 years age range. They were divided into two groups, as Test group and Control group of 30 patients each. Test group received IV Dexmedetomidine and Control group received IV Fentanyl.Results:Maximum number of cases 15/30 (50%) were in the age group 31-35 years, Majority were primigravida ie, 60% ( 36/60). Onset of analgesia was faster, duration of analgesia was longer and uterine contraction was greater with IV Dexmedetomidine as compared to IV fentanyl.Conclusion:From the present study we conclude that IV Dexmedetomidine can be used for labour analgesia in pregnant women with preecampsia and observed that onset and duration of analgesia are better and also it gives stable maternal parameters of maternal heart rate and mean blood pressure.

Background: Ordinary pressure dressing for hemostasis after cardiac catheterization is time consuming and might cause some problems, such as pain or loss of blood, which has to be controlled, particularly in pediatric patient. Using Celox® (chitosan) powder dressing might cause quicker initial hemostasis. Methods: In this prospective study, we assessed Celox® powder among patients in hospitals affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, from November 2017 to February 2018. The patients were stratified in two groups. The case group included patients for whom Celox® powder was used along with sterile gauze pressure at the puncture site to achieve hemostasis, and the control group those in whom hemostasis was achieved by standard sterile gauze pressure method. Results: Sixty patients under 16 years of age with congenital heart diseases were evaluated and underwent cardiac catheterization. We stratified the patients in two groups called case (30 patients) and control group (30 patients). Considering both arterial and venous initial hemostasis, in the case group, the minimum and maximum, median and mean coagulation time were less than those in the control group; however, the initial hemostasis was statistically significant only in venipuncture site. Also, the venous coagulation time was shorter among the patients weighing less than 10 kilograms in comparison to those with higher weight. In the case group, using Celox® stirred hemostasis toward the lower percentiles, but based on 50th percentile, the distribution in each group was identical. Conclusions: Celox® powder dressing in children led to reduced coagulation time in venipuncture site, and we might recommend utilizing this type of dressing for venous hemostasis in children after venipuncture.

AbstractIt has been suggested that children undergoing tonsillectomy would benefit from an intravenous infusion, to counteract the period of pre-operativefasting combined with the blood loss at operation.A prospective study of 50 children undergoing tonsillectomy was undertaken. The children were randomly allocated into two groups, one to receive an infusion and a control group.There were no significant differences between the two groups, although the children with an infusion had a longer mean post-operative stay.There would seem to be no role for routine intravenous fluid replacement in children undergoing uncomplicated tonsillectomy.

The Relationship

The aim of this study was evaluation whether there is an association between BMI, leptin and its soluble receptor, the expression of FoxP3 in CD4+ pTreg in women with severe asthma. Materials and methods. The study included thirty women with asthma: 17 patients with severe and 13 with mild-moderate disease. The control group comprised of 25 healthy women. Asthma was diagnosed in accordance with the Global Initiative For Asthma guidelines (GINA 2014). The phenotype of CD4+CD25highCD127lowFoxp3+CD152+ cells was evaluated by multicolor flow cytometry. The concentration of leptin and its soluble receptor were determined using an immunoenzymatic method (ELISA). Results. It has been shown significantly increased leptin concentration in the group of women with severe asthma compared with mild-moderate asthma and control group (p <0.05). The concentration of the leptin receptor significantly increased (p <0.05) in women with severe asthma compared with control group. There were no differences in percentage of CD4+FoxP3+ and CD4+CD25highCD127low- FoxP3+CD152+ subsets after leptin stimulation in all tested groups. Conclusions. Our results don’t confirm the direct effect of leptin on the CD4+ pTreg cells and the expression of FoxP3 in these cells, in tested groups.
