Lipid Profile and C-Reactive Protein Levels in Healthy, Overweight and Obese Adults: A Hospital-based Observational Study

Background: Pancreatic diseases are one of the most prevalent challenges faced by surgeons throughout their work. Unless and until surgery is noted for its complications, the most traditional management line has always been conservative. As a diagnostic tool for it, amylase and lipase have been used to date, but some prognostic methods such as CRP are being used in this research, assessing its importance as a prognostic tool Objectives: To measure levels of CRP in patients of pancreatic diseases and evaluating if CRP concentrations expect the magnitude of the disease. To assess the accuracy levels of CRP in diagnosing pancreatic diseases by assessing with CT diagnosing. To find out correlation between levels of C-reactive protein and CT findings in pancreatic diseases. Methodology: It is a prospective observational study completed on the patients of pancreatic diseases. It will be conducted at Surgery Department, JNMC and AVBRH, Sawangi (Meghe), DMIMS Wardha (DU). Results: The result would be undertaken in SPSS software Conclusion: Conclusion will be based on findings for study of protocol

Background: Neovascularization is one of the most important risk factors for unstable plaque. This study was designed to correlate plaque thickness, artery stenosis and levels of serum C-reactive protein with the degree of intraplaque enhancement determined by contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Patients and methods: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound was performed on 72 carotid atherosclerotic plaques in 48 patients. Contrast enhancement within the plaque was categorized as grade 1, 2 or 3. Maximum plaque thickness was measured in short-axis view. Carotid artery stenosis was categorized as mild, moderate or severe. Results: Plaque contrast enhancement was not associated with the degree of artery stenosis or with plaque thickness. Serum C-reactive protein levels were positively correlated with the number of new vessels in the plaque. C-reactive protein levels increased in the three groups(Grade 1: 3.72±1.79mg/L; Grade 2: 7.88±4.24 mg/L; Grade 3: 11.02±3.52 mg/L), with significant differences among them (F=10.14, P<0.01), and significant differences between each two groups (P<0.05). Spearmans rank correlation analysis showed that serum C-reactive protein levels were positively correlated with the degree of carotid plaque enhancement (Rs =0.69, P<0.01). Conclusions: The combination of C-reactive protein levels and intraplaque neovascularization detected by contrast-enhanced ultrasound may allow more accurate evaluation of plaque stability.
