The purpose of this research was to identify and evaluate the major dietary components linked with blood sugar levels in diabetic patients at UPT Puskesmas Narumonda in Toba Regency. This sort of study employs a cross-sectional descriptive analytic survey. The population in this research was 118 individuals, whereas the sample size was 54. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were used to analyze the data. The chi-square test results indicate that the sugar level of people with diabetes mellitus is related to the number of calories p = 0.000, the type of food p = 0.000, and the eating schedule p = 0.003, indicating that there is a relationship between obesity, the number of calories, the type of food, and the eating schedule and blood sugar levels in people with diabetes mellitus. The findings of multivariate analysis indicate that the most relevant variable in this research, with an OR value of 53, is the quantity of calories. The research concluded that the quantity of calories consumed is the most important factor influencing blood sugar levels in persons with diabetes mellitus at UPT Puskesmas Narumonda, Toba Regency. To help lower the occurrence of diabetes mellitus, it is intended that the Health Service, puskesmas, and health professionals would collaborate to give frequent counseling about diabetes mellitus and a healthy and balanced diet.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze whether deleterious oral habits can influence the number of attempts of forced spirometry maneuvers performed by healthy children. Methods: this observational and cross-sectional analytical study included 149 healthy children aged 6-12 years attending public and private schools in Florianópolis, SC, Brazil. A validated protocol was applied for the analysis of deleterious oral habits. The children were grouped according to the number of spirometry maneuvers needed to achieve successful spirometry results, as follows: G1) children who needed 3 maneuvers; G2) 4 maneuvers; G3) 5-8 maneuvers. Data were analyzed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the Kruskal-Wallis test was applied to compare quantitative variables between the groups. The Chi-square test was used to assess the association between the groups and qualitative variables. Results: there was no association between the number of attempts and the qualitative variables evaluated by the protocol. There was also no difference between the groups regarding quantitative variables for breastfeeding time, breastfeeding occurrence, use of pacifiers, and thumb sucking. Conclusion: the presence of DOH did not influence the number of forced spirometry maneuvers, performed by the healthy children in this study.

Background: Uterine synechiae refers to a total or partial union of the inner walls of the uterus resulting from endometrial trauma. It is a cause of reproductive failure. Until now, synechia was not optimally treated and has remained understudied in Cameroon. Objective of present study was to Evaluate the diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic aspects of uterine synechiae treated by hysteroscopy.Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study with an analytical component from January 1st 2015 to July 31st 2017 at Yaounde. All patients diagnosed with uterine synechiae and treated with hysteroscopy were our sample. Sampling was consecutive. The chi-square test was used for the comparison of qualitative variables and Fisher's test for ANOVA variance analysis. The comparison of the averages was made by the Student's test. P-value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: Hysteroscopies were indicated for uterine synechiae in 14.50%. Nulliparous were 56.67%. A history of curettage/aspiration was present in 66.66%. All of the patients had a form of infertility and 83.33% had menstrual disorders. Hysterosalpingography showed a better sensitivity (88%). After hysteroscopic treatment, 63.30% had a complete anatomical restitution. There is a significant correlation between the stage of severity of synechia and anatomical restitution (p=0.008; Spearman correlation coefficient=-0.477).Conclusions: Uterine synechiae represent one-sixth of all indications for hysteroscopy and present clinically as menstrual disorder associated with infertility. A past history of uterine curettage is common. Hysterosalpingography has a better preoperative diagnostic sensitivity. Hysteroscopy allows optimal treatment.

Objective: The goal of the study is to check the degree to which the physicians and pediatricians can apply ESPGHAN and WGO criteria of celiac disease (CD) on their patients in Karbala city. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted in Karbala city hospitals (Al-Hussein-medical city hospital, the pediatric teaching hospital) for the period from August 2017 to February 2018. A random selection of one hundred eight CD patients was carried out and the clinical data including the biopsy results were collected directly from patients or their family members via a questionnaire sheets. Statistically, the quantitative variables were analyzed using non-parametric t-test and the qualitative variables were analyzed using Chi-square test. Results: The study shows that of the total 108 patients, only n=43 (39.8%) of candidates who did biopsy even with tTG IgA>10 fold ULN (200 RU/ml and more) due to the shortage in EMA/HLA tests recommended by ASPGHAN to omit duodenal biopsy., while n=51 (47.2%) accomplished only one of the triple tests (only tTG IgA>10 fold ULN) suggested by ASPGHAN and then applied challenge test and n=14 (12.9) achieved non of the triple tests (tTG IgA antibody titer>5 fold ULN, but <10 fold ULN). On the other hand, the WGO guideline is more suitable if properly applied as it considers tTG (IgA) a convenient substituent of EMA test where high tTG (IgA) serum level being diagnostic and to be confirmed by the available DGP (IgA and IgG) antibodies. Conclusion: The WGO guideline for symptomatic and asymptomatic patients is more applicable for the areas with limited facilities, while ESPGHAN guideline for pediatrics can be applied to a less degree. Generally in Iraq there is a delay in disease diagnosis due to many reasons to be evaluated.

Diabetes Melitus (DM) ditandai dengan meningkatnya kadar gula darah akibat gangguan sekresi maupun hilangnya sensitivitas sel terhadap insulin pada diabetes tipe 2. Salah satu komplikasi diabetes adalah penyakit kardiovaskuler. Sedikitnya 65% penderita DM meninggal akibat penyakit kardiovaskular. Faktor risiko terjadinya komplikasi kardiovaskuler pada penderita DM adalah tingginya kadar lipid dalam darah. Penderita DM usia 40-75 tahun dan K-LDL >70 mg/dL sebaiknya sudah mendapatkan terapi anti-hiperlipid. Obat yang paling banyak digunakan adalah simvastatin, tetapi statin dapat meningkatkan kadar gula darah. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai hubungan penggunaan simvastatin dengan kadar gula darah penderita DM. Penilaian juga dilakukan terhadap pola makan dan aktifitas fisik. Besar sampel 62 orang mendapat terapi DM, tidak sedang hamil, usia 35-85 tahun. Jenis penelitian ini adalah observasional-analitik, dengan rancangan cross sectional, dilakukan di Rumah Sakit Bhayangkara Palembang. Data dianalisis dengan uji Chi-Square dilanjutkan dengan regresi logisik. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan simvastatin mempunyai hubungan yang bermakna terhadap kadar gula darah dengan p value < 0,05 dan nilai OR 3,3, demikian juga pola makan dan aktifitas fisik, masing masing dengan nilai OR 4,9 dan 15,1. Namun belum terbukti sebagai faktor yang dominan dalam meningkatkan kadar gula darah (siq 0,150). Penyebab ketidak-normalan kadar gula darah, adalah pola makan dan aktifitas fisik. Perlu dilakukan penelitian lanjutan dengan metode riset kuasi eksperimen dan dengan jumlah sampel yang lebih besar, sehingga dapat meyakinkan semua pihak dalam menggunakan simvastatin. Rumah sakit diharapkan tetap melakukan pemantauan terapi obat simvastatin pada pasien DM.   Increase blood sugar levels characterized due to secretion disorders and loss of sensitivity of cells to insulin in type 2 diabetes. One of the complications of diabetes is cardiovascular disease. At least 65% of people with diabetes die from cardiovascular disease. The risk factor for cardiovascular complications in diabetes sufferers is high levels of lipids in the blood. Diabetes patients aged 40-75 years and K-LDL> 70 mg/dL should have received anti-hyperlipid therapy. The most widely used drug is simvastatin, but statins can increase blood sugar levels. The purpose was to assess the relationship between the use of simvastatin and the blood sugar levels of diabetes  patients. Assessments also carry out a diet and physical activity. The sample size is 62 people receiving diabetes  therapy, not pregnant, aged 35 to 85 years. This type of research is observational-analytic, with a cross-sectional design, conducted at the Bhayangkara Hospital, Palembang. Data analyzed by using the Chi-square test followed by logical regression. The results showed that the use of simvastatin had a significant relationship with blood sugar levels with p-value <0.05 and an OR value of 3.3, diet and physical activity, with OR values ​​of 4.9 and 15,1 respectively. However, it has not proven to be a dominant faktor in increasing blood sugar levels (sig 0.150). Causes of abnormal blood sugar levels are diet and physical activity. It is necessary to carry out further research with a quasi-experimental research method and a larger sample size, to convince all parties to use simvastatin. It is necessary to continue to monitor simvastatin therapy in diabetes patients by the hospital

Introduction. To evaluate whether waist circumference (WC) or hyperglycemia is more closely associated with hypogonadism in middle-aged men. Research Design and Methods. This cross-sectional study analyzed male participants under 65 years old from the MJ Health Screening Center in Taiwan from 2007 to 2016. Basic patient characteristics with relevant parameters were obtained. We used the chi-square test to perform a correlation analysis for HbA1c and WC between participants with and without hypogonadism. A one-way ANOVA with post hoc Scheffe’s method was applied to compare the mean testosterone (T) among the HbAlc and WC groups (normal blood sugar with normal WC (NBSNW), abnormal blood sugar with normal WC (ABSNW), normal blood sugar with abnormal WC (NBSAW), and abnormal blood sugar with abnormal waist circumference (ABSAW)). Results. The 5,680 participants were divided into two groups based on the presence ( n = 599 ) or absence of hypogonadism ( n = 5,081 ), which was defined as total   testosterone   TT < 300   ng / dL . The mean TT of group NBSAW ( 443.71 ± 220.59   ng / dl ) was significantly lower than that of group ABSNW ( 506.64 ± 191.08   ng / dl , p < 0.001 ). Moreover, the mean TT of group ABSAW ( 398.89 ± 146.24   ng / dl ) was significantly lower than that of group ABSNW ( 506.64 ± 191.08   ng / dl , p < 0.001 ). The ORs after adjusting for BMI, TG, HDL, SBP, and DBP were statistically significant when comparing NBSAW vs. NBSNW ( OR = 2.846 ; 95 % CI = 2.266 – 3.575 ; p < 0.001 ), ABSNW vs. NDNW ( OR = 1.693 ; 95 % CI = 1.309 – 2.189 ; p < 0.001 ), and ABSAW vs. NBSNW ( OR = 4.613 ; 95 % CI = 3.634 – 5.856 ; p < 0.001 ). Conclusion. The current study showed that WC should be the risk factor that is more closely associated with hypogonadism than hyperglycemia in middle-aged men.
