The relationship between nutritional status, anthropometric measurements and hemogram parameters in preobese and obese women before and after menopause

Objectives:Elevation of free fatty acids (FFAs) in serum is an importantrisk factor for metabolic changes.Conversely, the relationship between obesity and metabolic abnormalities, and FFAsis not yet completely understood.Thus,we aimed in this study to explore the relationship and the association between insulin resistance (IR), metabolic markers and the variation inplasmaFFAs among the obese women. Methods:This study included fifty obese women aged 25–35 years and has insulin resistance (IR)in addition to fifty age-matched healthy normal weightwomen served as control group.Blood was withdrawn after twelve hours fasting;fasting blood glucose, lipidsand plasma insulinwere estimated;IR was assessedvia the Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR).Fatty acids in plasma were measured by HPLC using UV detector that was set at 200 nm.Indeed, anthropometric measurements was performed . Results:Lipid profile, fasting blood sugar, insulin resistance, oleic acids (OA), linoleic acid (LA), arachidonic acid (AA) and anthropometric measurements were significantly increased in IR women compared to control. Whereas, the mean value levels of alpha-linolenicacid(ALA)was significantly decreased in IR women compare to controls. Conclusion:lower plasma levels of ALA and higher levels of AA, OA, LA were significantly associated with risk of IR and metabolic disorder markers in obese women.These results might explain the positive benefits of foods rich with poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA).Obesity and IR may be associated with the alterations in composition of the circulating fatty acid.These findings underscore the potential role of PUFA in the metabolic syndrome pathogenesis.

The Relationship

Background: Normal nutritional status is a balanced condition of nutritional intake and requirement in a person. Lack of nutrition in cancer patients promotes undesirable effects on various organs and systems of the body. Purpose: To determine the nutritional status differences in patients with advanced stage NPC type III WHO before and after radiotherapy, and the relationship between nutritional status with mucositis occurance after radiotherapy. Method: Observational analytic study. Sampling was conducted by non-random purposive sampling technique with 10 subjects with NPC. The statistical analysis used paired sample Wilcoxon test and Spearman correlation test. Result: The study found significant differences between nutritional state regarding BMI, LOLA and transferrin before and after radiotherapy with p<0.05. Paired sample t test of BMI, LOLA, transferrin before and after radiotherapy demonstrated BMI p=0.000, LOLA p=0.001 and transferrin p=0.005. The paired sample t test for albumin before and after radiotherapy showed that radiotherapy did not cause significant decrease in albumin. Correlation test to determine the relationship among BMI, LOLA, albumin, and transferrin before radiotherapy with mucositis occurance showed BMI p=0.062, LOLA p=0.209, p=0.904 albumin, transferrin p=0.631 which meant that nutritional state has no corelation with mucositis occurance. While after radiotherapy it showed BMI p=0.122, p=0.209 LOLA, albumin, p=0.902 and transferrin p=1.000 which meant that nutritional state after radiotherapy has no corelation to the occurance of mucositis. Conclusion: Radiotherapy in patients with advanced-stage of NPC caused a significant difference in nutritional state before and after radiotherapy, but had no significant association with mucositis occurance. Keywords: nasopharyngeal carcinoma, radiotherapy, nutritional state, malnutrition, mucositis Abstrak : Latar belakang: Status nutrisi normal menggambarkan keseimbangan yang baik antara asupan nutrisi dengan kebutuhan nutrisi. Kekurangan nutrisi pada penderita kanker memberikan efek yang tidak diinginkan terhadap struktur dan fungsi hampir semua organ dan sistem tubuh. Tujuan: Penelitian ini untuk mengetahui perbedaan status nutrisi penderita karsioma nasofaring (KNF) WHO tipe III stadium lanjut sebelum dan sesudah radioterapi, hubungan status nutrisinya dengan kejadian mukositis sesudah radioterapi. Metode: Penelitian ini adalah observasional analitik, dengan jumlah sampel 10 penderita KNF. Analisis statistik menggunakan paired sample t test dan uji korelasi Spearman. Hasil: Terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna antara status nutrisi dengan parameter Body Mass Index (BMI), lingkar otot lengan atas (LOLA) dan transferin sebelum dan sesudah radioterapi (BMI p=0,000, LOLA p=0,001 dan transferin p=0,005 dengan p<0,05). Pada paired sample t test albumin sebelum dan sesudah radioterapi menunjukkan nilai p=0,205 yang berarti bahwa radioterapi tidak menyebabkan penurunan albumin yang bermakna. Uji korelasi hubungan antara BMI, LOLA, albumin, dan transferin sebelum radioterapi dengan kejadian mukositis menunjukkan bahwa status nutrisi tidak berhubungan dengan kejadian mukositis (BMI p=0,062, LOLA p=0,209, albumin p=0,904, transferin p=0,631 dengan p>0,05). Uji korelasi hubungan antara BMI, LOLA, albumin, dan transferinsesudah radioterapi menunjukkan bahwa status nutrisi tidak berhubungan secara signifikan dengan kejadian mukositis sesudah radioterapi (BMI p=0,122, LOLA p=0,209, albumin p=0,902 dan transferin p=1,000 dengan p>0,05) Kesimpulan: Pemberian radioterapi pada penderita KNF stadium lanjut menyebabkan penurunan bermakna pada status nutrisi sebelum dan sesudah radioterapi, tetapi tidak berhubungan secara bermakna dengan kejadian mukositis sesudah radioterapi. Kata kunci: karsinoma nasofaring, radioterapi, status nutrisi, malnutrisi, mukositis.

The Relationship

This experiment investigated the relationship between mental rotation and sport training. Undergraduate university students (n = 62) completed the Mental Rotation Test ( Vandenberg & Kuse, 1978 ), before and after a 10-month training in two different sports, which either involved extensive mental rotation ability (wrestling group) or did not (running group). Both groups showed comparable results in the pretest, but the wrestling group outperformed the running group in the posttest. As expected from previous studies, males outperformed women in the pretest and the posttest. Besides, self-reported data gathered after both sessions indicated an increase in adaptive strategies following training in wrestling, but not subsequent to training in running. These findings demonstrate the significant effect of training in particular sports on mental rotation performance, thus showing consistency with the notion of cognitive plasticity induced from motor training involving manipulation of spatial representations. They are discussed within an embodied cognition framework.

Background and Aims: Cord blood leptin may reflect the leptinemic status of a newborn at birth more accurately than the leptin values of blood collected from other sites. The present study was undertaken to determine the relationship of cord serum leptin concentration at birth with neonatal and maternal anthropometric parameters. Materials and Methods: Blood was taken from the umbilical cord of the babies at delivery. Maternal anthropometric measurements were recorded at admission for delivery. Neonatal anthropometric measurements were recorded within 48 hours after delivery. Linear regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between cord serum leptin concentration and anthropometric parameters of the baby and the mother. Both Serum leptin and serum C-peptide levels were measured by chemiluminescence-based ELISA method. Results: The leptin concentration (ng/ml, mean±SD) in cord blood was 39.13±14.44. Cord leptin levels correlated with birth weight (r=0.673, p<0.0001), ponderal index (r=0.732, p<0.0001) but it did not correlate with maternal body mass index, gestational age (r=0.135, p=0.349) at delivery or cord serum C-peptide concentration (r=-0.049, p=0.735) or placental weight (r=0.203, p=0.157). Conclusion: There are associations between cord leptin concentration at delivery and birth weight, ponderal index (PI) of the babies but not body mass index (BMI) of the mothers. High leptin levels of the baby could represent an important feedback modulator of substrate supply and subsequently for adipose tissue status during late gestation.

In Uruguay, Lacanian ideas arrived in the 1960s, into a context of Kleinian hegemony. Adopting a discursive approach, this study researched the initial reception of these ideas and its effects on clinical practices. We gathered a corpus of discursive data from clinical cases and theoretical-doctrinal articles (from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s). In order to examine the effects of Lacanian ideas, we analysed the difference in the way of interpreting the clinical material before and after Lacan's reception. The results of this research illuminate some epistemological problems of psychoanalysis, especially the relationship between theory and clinical practice.

This study was designed to explore the relationship between sunlight exposure and the mechanical properties of paragliding fabrics which have different colors, densities, yarn counts, and coating materials. This study exposed 5 different colors of paragliding fabrics (red, turquoise, dark blue, orange, and white) to intense sunlight for 150 hours during the summer from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for 5 days a week for 5 weeks. Before and after the UV radiation aging process, the air permeability, tensile strength, tear strength, and bursting strength tests were performed. Test results were also evaluated using statistical methods. According to the results, the fading of the turquoise fabric was found to be the highest among the studied fabrics. It was determined that there is a significant decrease in the mechanical properties of the fabrics after sunlight exposure. After aging, the fabrics become considerably weaker in the case of mechanical properties due to the degradation in both the dyestuff and macromolecular structure of the fiber
