Ovarian Syndrome

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome is a common endocrine disorder of women during reproductive age, associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Objective: To assess the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with the polycystic ovarian syndrome in comparison to age-matched control. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional studyis conducted in Erbil city fromSeptember 2020 to January 2021. It included 40 cases of polycystic ovarian syndrome and 40 cases of healthy controls. Participants underwent detailed history, physical examination. Laboratory investigations (blood sugar, lipid profile, serum testosterone and serum prolactin) and pelvic ultrasound were done for them. Data analysis was performed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. Results: Women with the polycystic ovarian syndrome have a higher proportion to obesity, abnormal blood sugar, and dyslipidemia, they have higher rate of menstrual irregularity, hyperandrogenic state and hirsutism, than age-matched control. The risk for hypertension remains the same for both PCOS and the control group. Conclusion: The proportion of obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia is higher in Polycystic ovarian syndrome than the control group. Keywords: Polycystic ovarian syndrome, obesity, diabetes mellitus, heart disease

Myocardial Rupture

AIM: Myocardial rupture currently remains in most cases a fatal complication of myocardial infarction. OBJECTIVE: To study the features of the structure of cardiovascular risk factors in men under 60 years old with complicated myocardial infarction to improve prevention. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included men 1960 years old with type I myocardial infarction. The patients were divided into two groups age-comparable: I studied, with myocardial rupture seven patients; II control, without breaks 558 patients. A comparative analysis of the frequency of observation of the main and additional factors of cardiovascular risk in the selected groups was performed. RESULTS OF THE STUDY: In the patients of the study group, frequent (four or more times a year) colds were observed more often than in the control group (42.9 and 14.8%, respectively; p = 0.04), the internal organs foci of infections (85.7 and 40.3%; p = 0.049), bypass surgery (57.1 and 10.2%; p 0.0001) and continuous cardiac pacing (28.6 and 0.5%; p 0.0001) in medical history. The presence of arterial hypertension (28.5 and 67.6%; p = 0.03) and foci of oral cavity infections (0 and 20.3%; p = 0.049) reduced the risk of myocardial rupture. In the study group, the levels of total cholesterol (4.3 0.3 and 5.8 1.2 mmol/l); p = 0.02), low-density lipoproteins (2.7 0.1 and 4.2 1.2 mmol/l); p = 0.04) and triglycerides (0.7 0.1 and 2.6 1.8 mmol/l); p = 0.008) were lower than in the control. CONCLUSION: Combinations of these cardiovascular risk factors indicate an increased risk of myocardial rupture. It is advisable to use them for predictive modeling of this event and the formation of risk groups for the purpose of timely prevention, (bibliography: 18 refs.).

Dietary Education

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary education on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Method: In this randomized clinical trial, 112 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were randomly assigned into two groups, intervention and control. Dietary education was provided for the intervention group in 4 sessions; anthropometric measurements, serum levels of RF, triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and fasting blood sugar were measured before and three months after intervention. Data was analyzed using SPSS software and appropriate statistical tests. Results: The mean of total cholesterol (p <0.001), triglycerides (p = 0.004), LDL (p <0.001), systolic blood pressure (p = 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.003), FBS and BMI (p <0.001) were decreased significantly in the intervention group after education compared the control group. Conclusion: Traditional care for rheumatoid arthritis patients is not enough. Patients need more education in order to improve their situation.

Increased Risk

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (amnestic or non-amnestic) has different clinical and neuropsychological characteristics, and its evolution is heterogeneous. Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF), such as hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia, and the presence of the Apolipoprotein E ε4 (ApoE ε4) polymorphism have been associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias but the relationship is inconsistent worldwide. We aimed to establish the association between the ApoE ε4 carrier status and CVRF on MCI subtypes (amnestic and non-amnestic) in Mexican older adults. Cross-sectional study including 137 older adults (n = 63 with normal cognition (NC), n = 24 with amnesic, and n = 50 with non-amnesic MCI). Multinomial logistic regression models were performed in order to determine the association between ApoE ε4 polymorphism carrier and CVRF on amnestic and non-amnestic-MCI. ApoE ε4 carrier status was present in 28.8% participants. The models showed that ApoE ε4 carrier status was not associated neither aMCI nor naMCI condition. The interaction term ApoE ε4 × CVRF was not statistically significant for both types of MCI. However, CVRF were associated with both types of MCI and the association remained statistically significant after adjustment by sex, age, and education level. The carrier status of the ApoE genotype does not contribute to this risk.
