Introduction: Jordan has a unique array of diversity among which having the deepest level in the world, the Dead Sea and an area with high attitudes in Ajloun City which gives us a great chance to study the biological effects on hypertension and possible impacts in selecting the appropriate treatment. Study objectives: to explore the impacts of variations of attitudes in hypertension and the level of beta blockers through studying the level of angiotensin II among study participants and to investigate if the patterns of anti-hypertensive treatments are impacted. Methods and subjects: a cross-sectional study design was carried out among participants from the two different areas. From each area, a total of 500 participants were recruited and surveyed through a questionnaire. Blood pressure was measured for all participants and blood samples were withdrawn to carry out the testing of angiotensin II. Data were analyzed statistically based on the appropriate software including excel and SPSS. The relationships were examined according to independent T-Test. Significance was considered according to p0.05). On the other hand, heart parameters including SBP, DBP, MBP, pulse, and PCV all of which were significantly higher in Ajloun than in the Dead Sea (p=0.001) for all selected variables. The level of angiotensin II was 12.08 ± 5.19 pg/ml in Ajloun and this was higher than that of the Dead Sea (8.84 ± 4.65 pg/ml). The difference in the mean of angiotensin II was statistically significant (p=0.039). Conclusion: the results of the present study showed that living in high altitude compared with the lowest area in the world (the Dead Sea) exposes persons for the risks of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Our findings may lead to better therapeutic strategies particularly when to prescribe angiotensin II based therapies.

Abstract Introduction Low birthweight (LBW) is a significant public health issue, and maternal smoking is the most prevalent preventable cause of LBW. But there is limited evidence on association of LBW among children and cigarette smoke exposure in mothers in China. In this cross-sectional study, we try to explore if the LBW in children is positively associated with mothers’ prenatal cigarette smoke exposure. Methods We selected 8, 586 mothers and their singleton children in 2018 in Songjiang district, Shanghai. Birthweight of children and gestational weeks of mother was identified by birth records in the hospital, we classified mothers’ prenatal cigarette smoke status into the first-hand smoke (FHS) exposure and the second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure. We use SAS 9.1.3 software to calculate the prevalence of children’s LBW and the prevalence of mothers’ prenatal cigarette smoke exposure including FHS and SHS. Chi-square test and logistic regression were used to analyze the difference. Results In 8, 586 women, The prenatal FHS and SHS exposure prevalence was 0.9 and 20.8%, respectively. The mean birthweight of children was 3315.5 g with a standard deviation of 497.2 g, the mean birthweight was 167.7 g and 66.1 g lower in children born to mothers with prenatally FHS and SHS exposure compared with those children whose mother were not exposed, respectively. The children’s LBW prevalence was 4.7% in this study. By comparing with children whose mother were not exposed, the LBW prevalence was higher among children whose mother were prenatally exposed to FHS [OR (Odds Ratios) = 2.91, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.49, 5.68)], and SHS [OR = 2.35, 95% CI (1.90, 2.89)]. Conclusions Children’s LBW is positively associated with mothers’ prenatal tobacco smoke exposure both for FHS and SHS. So implementing tobacco control measures is crucial to lower smoking prevalence among women, and decrease smoking prevalence of their family members as well as work fellows.

The prevalence of kidney disease, particularly diabetic and hypertensive kidney disease is increasing rapidly specially in the disadvantageous group of population throughout the world. A cross sectional survey was carried out at certain selected slum areas of Mirpur in Dhaka city of Bangladesh over the period from July 2003 to June 2005, and a total of participants ranging from 15 to 65 years were studied. The analysis discovered that 4.1% of the participants were diabetic, 11.6% were hypertensive, and 7.7% had proteinuria. Based on MDRD equation, 13.1% of the participants were detected as having chronic kidney disease (CKD) while with Cockcroft-Gault equation 16% had CKD. Accordingly, the difference between the two equations was not significant. Association of sociodemographic factors with CKD was not significant except age more than 40 years and marital status. The association between CKD and risk factors like proteinuria, obese and overweight, use of tobacco, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension was highly significant. Combined prevalence of DM, hypertension, and proteinuria among CKD group was also demonstrated to be significantly higher (3.8% with Cockcroft-Gault equation and 5.3% with MDRD equation) than that of normal population. The survey data revealed that CKD and its risk factors like DM and hypertension are alarmingly high in disadvantageous population and adding further pressure to the existing burden of CKD.

AbstractExhaled breath temperature (EBT) is a biomarker of inflammation and vascularity of the airways already shown to predict incident COPD. This cross-sectional study was aimed to assess the potential of EBT in identifying “healthy” smokers susceptible to cigarette smoke toxicity of the airways and to the risk of developing COPD by analysing the dynamics of EBT after smoking a cigarette and its associations with their demographics (age, smoking burden) and lung function. The study included 55 current smokers of both sexes, 29–62 years of age, with median smoking exposure of 15 (10–71.8) pack-years. EBT was measured at baseline and 5, 15, 30, 45, and 60 min after smoking a single cigarette. Lung function was measured with spirometry followed by a bronchodilator test. To compare changes in EBT between repeated measurements we used the analysis of variance and the area under the curve (EBTAUC) as a dependent variable. Multivariate regression analysis was used to look for associations with patient characteristics and lung function in particular. The average (±SD) baseline EBT was 33.42±1.50 °C. The highest significant increase to 33.84 (1.25) °C was recorded 5 min after the cigarette was smoked (p=0.003), and it took one hour for it to return to the baseline. EBTAUC showed significant repeatability (ICC=0.85, p<0.001) and was significantly associated with age, body mass index, number of cigarettes smoked a day, baseline EBT, and baseline FEF75 (R2=0.39, p<0.001 for the model). Our results suggest that EBT after smoking a single cigarette could be used as early risk predictor of changes associated with chronic cigarette smoke exposure.

Making diagnosis of asthma requires a critical evaluation of the patient’s symptoms, medical history, physical examination and diagnostic tests. It is known that a reduction of respiratory muscle pressures (MIP and MEP) for assessment of respiratory muscles power has been associated with several neuromuscular diseases, but it is also possible to point out lower values in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases as in asthma. As asthma diagnosis by reversibility test is not very sensitive in intermittent and mild asthma and pulmonary function is related to respiratory muscle pressures (RMP), could we use the reversibility of RMP in the patients for asthma diagnosis is the main issue investigated in this research. The aim of the study to determine the validity of asthma diagnosis by reversibility testing of respiratory muscles power. A cross-sectional hospital based study carried out in Lung function tests clinic in Police and Alban Gadeed hospitals in Khartoum during the years 2010-2011 to determine the reversibility of the lung function (FEV1 and PEFR) and respiratory muscles power (MEP and MIP). Thirty five known asthmatic subjects attending the referred chest clinic for follow up, and 20 healthy non asthmatic controls were included in the study. FEV1, PEFR, MEP and MIP were measured for all subjects before and after bronchodilator. Reversibility test was considered positive assuming the cut-off point for FEV1, MEP and MIP is ≥12% and for PEFR≥20%.The results showed percent of change in asthmatic group before and after bronchodilator test for FEV1 , PEFR, MEP, MIP were: 10.45, 11.84, 12.15 and 16.73 respectively. The difference was statistically significant. Sensitivity and specificity of reversibility testing for FEV1 (40%, 75%), for PEFR (31%, 65%), for MEP (49%, 70%) and for MIP (71%, 65%). In conclusion, the respiratory muscles power reversibility test could be a potentially sensitive diagnostic test for asthma

Broncial asthma is a chronic disease that is often found in children and adults in developing and developed countries. Since the last two decades, it has been reported that the total prevalence of bronchial asthma in the world is estimated to be 7.2% (6% in adults and 10% in children). The prevalence varies greatly by country and even differences are also found between regions within a country. The prevalence of bronchial asthma in various countries is difficult to compare, it is not clear whether the difference in numbers arises because of differences in diagnostic criteria or because there really are differences. This study is descriptive to determine the factors associated with bronchial asthma in children in the Sakura room of PTPN II Bangkat Binjai Hospital in 2017. Data collection in this study using questionnaires grouped based on allergies, cigarette smoke, sports, and air pollution from research results This shows that from 20 respondents (100%) it was known that 5 people (25%) were due to allergic factors, 5 people (25%) because of cigarette smoke, 4 people (20%) because of sports and 6 people (30%) due to air pollution . It is expected that the Rumah Akit will always increase counseling to patients about bronchial asthma in children.Keywords: broncial asthma factors
