Aim: This study aims to compare the random blood sugar pH of the blood. Introduction: Hyperglycemia is a risk factor for the impairment of periodontal health while periodontal disease, in turn, is responsible for the adverse effects on glycemic control and the pathophysiology of diabetes-related complications. An increase in blood sugar levels has a direct effect on pH with respect to age. Hence this study deals with the association of random blood sugar levels and pH with age, gender, and dental complaints. Materials and Methods: 20 random blood samples were collected from the patients in Saveetha Dental College. The random blood sugar level was analyzed by the semi-quantitative method and the pH was analyzed by using a multi reagent strip. And the results were statistically analyzed using SPSS software and represented as pie charts and bar graphs. Results and Discussion: The overall mean value of RBS and blood pH was found to be 138.4 mg/dl and 7.06 respectively. The mean RBS value is higher in the 41-50 years age group of people than in other age categories and the mean pH value is same for all age categories. In the present study, samples with periodontic complaints have higher mean value of RBS values (193) than other dental complaints and the mean pH value is same for all dental complaints. Conclusion: Within the limits of the study, it can be observed that there is a significant association between the age group, gender, and dental complaints with RBS and pH of the patients. However, further studies must be conducted to have more accurate results and elicit the association between pH and RBS with age and gender.

Abstract This article is mainly concerned with the simultaneous open model clinical study of the drug named sitagliptin, a potent hyperglycaemic drug against a novel entity of the natural origin BGR- 34 in diabetic subjects. This was a 3-month randomized, parallel, comparative study. One hundred subjects were planned to be included in the study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups and according to the appropriate sample size analysis, both groups consisted of 100 patients, following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 90 patients (both male and female) of the mean patient age 30-65 years with the type 2 diabetes were enrolled in the phase 4 of this study and then the data were analyzed on the basis of the different test which included HbA1c (glycated haemoglobin), RBS (random blood sugar), FBS (fasting blood sugar) and PPG (postprandial glucose) values. After completion of the data calibration, the results were analyzed and as a result 10-20% decreased values of HBA1C values accompanied with the RBS, FBS and PPG values were seen in the patients undergoing a 12-week course with BGR-34. Based on the results obtained in the present study, it can be concluded that BGR-34 is effective in reducing high blood sugar levels and this reflects that the BGR-34 therapy is more effective drug in the treatment of diabetes suggesting that it is better in efficacy, and reliability with little or no adverse effects.

Background / Aim. Determining the value of Gissane?s angle (GA) plays a role in diagnosis and prognosis of heel fractures, determining treatment methods and assessing the outcome of surgical treatment. Normal values of the GA vary in relation to ethnicity, age and gender of the examined group, which indicates its anthropometric significance. The aim of this study was to determine the range of normal GA values in the population of Central Serbia. Methods. GA was determined on lateral radiography of the foot of 145 subjects, both sexes (67 women and 78 men), with subjects divided into 6 age groups. The patients included in the study did not have a calcaneus fracture. The obtained results were processed in the Graph Pad program. Results: The average value of GA in Serbia was 110.8? ? 8.1, ranging from 93? to 132.9?. The mean value of GA decreased with age, and no difference was observed between women and men, except in the youngest age group were women had higher GA values than men. Conclusion. The results of the study showed a wide range of normal GA values, as well as the existence of a difference in subjects of different age and sex.

ABSTRACT Introduction The objectives were to see the nasal prominence norm and the gender dimorphism in nasal prominence measured by Holdaway's soft tissue analysis. Materials and methods The sample size was 100 (50 males and 50 females). The subjects included in the study were of Saudi origin with class I skeletal and dental relationship and all teeth present. The age group of the patients was between 18 and 28 years. The radiographs were traced and analyzed by two students and cross-checked by an orthodontist. The nasal prominence was measured according to the technique described by Holdaway. Results The descriptive statistics were calculated for both male and female groups. The mean value of nasal prominence when male and female samples were combined was 14.08 mm. No statistically significant difference was found (p = 0.083) when genders were compared. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Conclusion No statistically significant difference was found when genders were compared. The value for males was normal while the value for females was less than Holdaway's normal. Clinical significance These values would aid in treatment planning for orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment. How to cite this article Kundi I.

Gastric secretory response to insulin hypoglycemia (1.5 U/kg) was studied in ten experiments in four beagle dogs fitted with gastric fistulas. Blood sugar reduction was recorded continuously by means of an autoanalyzer. Plasma steroid concentrations were measured at hourly intervals. In seven of ten experiments gastric acid output was maximum 30–60 min after insulin was given. The onset of gastric secretion occurred 30–35 min after insulin, and the nadir of the blood sugar occurred 37 ± 4 min after insulin. Biphasic responses were seen only in two experiments. There was a delay of 13 ± 2 min before hypoglycemia began. The mean value of the lowest blood sugar was 28 ± 2 mg/100 ml. Plasma hydrocortisone concentrations increased to maximum values at 2 hr and then fell to control levels within 6 hr. In most experiments gastric secretion decreased as blood sugar levels returned to fasting values. Late phases could not be correlated with hypoglycemia or elevated plasma steroid concentrations.

Introduction: The pituitary gland is the master gland of the body. It’s size varies with age and gender. MRI is the safest and effective diagnostic tool for pituitary gland examination. Objectives: This study was aim to determine the anteroposterior, height and transverse dimensions of normal  pituitary gland in different age groups of both sex with MRI. Methodology: It was a descriptive cross-sectional study. It consisted of 567 images of individuals (242 males and 325 females) of various age from 20 to 70 years from the Department of Radio- diagnosis, Dhulikhel Hospital. Results: The mean anteroposterior, height and transverse dimension of pituitary gland is 9.74±1.18 mm, 5.95±1.11 mm and 11.65±2.15 mm respectively in which females have higher value. Independent sample t test showed highly significant differences (p< 0.05) between the mean anteroposterior dimension in males and females. The present study showed the mean value of anteroposterior dimension is maximum at age group 50-59.  The mean value of height, transverse dimension and volume of males and females is maximum at 20-29 age group and minimum at 70-79 age group. One way ANOVA shows that there is significant difference between in height, transverse dimension and volume at different age group (p< 0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that the height and volume of pituitary gland is maximum at second decade of life then it gradually decreases with age. The mean value of anteroposterior, height and transverse dimension showed greater value of females than males.

SummaryThe plasma tissue factor (TF) concentration was correlated to factor VII concentration (FVIIag) and factor VII activity (FVIIc) in 498 healthy volunteers ranging in age from 17 to 64 years. Immunoassays using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were developed for the determination of TF and FVIIag in plasma. The mAbs and the test systems were characterized. The mean value of the TF concentration was 172 ± 135 pg/ml. TF showed no age- and gender-related differences. For the total population, FVIIc, determined by a clotting test, was 110 ± 15% and the factor VIlag was 0.77 ± 0.19 μg/ml. FVII activity was significantly increased with age, whereas the concentration demonstrated no correlation to age in this population. FVII concentration is highly correlated with the activity as measured by clotting assay using rabbit thromboplastin. The ratio between FVIIc and FVIIag was not age-dependent, but demonstrated a significant difference between men and women. Between TF and FVII we could not detect a correlation.

Simultaneous plasma free fatty acid (FFA) and blood sugar levels were determined for fasting newborn infants during the first 24 hours of life, for their cord bloods, and for their mothers at delivery. The following observations were made. In control infants the mean FFA level rose about three times the cord level after birth and was accompanied by a 25% drop in the mean blood sugar level. Thereafter, the mean blood sugar level remained relatively constant, but the mean FFA level varied from 2½ to 3 times the cord level. There was no significant correlation between the length of maternal fasting prior to delivery and the infant FFA level; there was, however a significant negative correlation between the length of maternal fasting prior to delivery and the infant blood sugar level at 24 hours of age. High FFA levels occurred in the infants of obese mothers and low levels were observed in infants with delayed respirations, in infants of preeclamptic mothers, and in infants of diabetic mothers.

Correlation of macronutrient intake with body mass index, blood sugar levels, and total blood protein in drug usersBackground: Random blood sugar level and total blood protein need to be measured among drug users because their macronutrient intakes (carbohydrates, fat, protein, and energy) are not appropriate to the pattern of daily habits before uses drugs. Drug users had decreased appetite during the influence and withdrawal symptoms of drugs with the impacts on their body mass index (BMI). Objective: To analyze the correlation of macronutrient intakes between the random blood sugar level, total blood protein, and BMI drug users.Methods: This research was conducted with a cross-sectional design and observational study. 73 drug users were included in the study with the screening by inclusion criteria. 24-hour food recall was used to collect the macronutrient intakes, random blood sugar levels and total blood protein were monitored by the GOD-PAP method, and BMI was measured by weight and height. Data analysis used Pearson’s correlation test in bivariate and multivariate was carried out by multiple linear regressions. Results: Pearson’s correlation analysis showed that there was a significant correlation between macronutrient intakes (energy, carbohydrate, fat) with random blood sugar level, total blood protein, and BMI. BMI was the most affected by energy (β=0.531), random blood sugar level was the most affected by carbohydrates (β=0.073), and total blood protein was the most affected by protein (β=0.837).Conclusions: Macronutrient intake is significantly related to BMI, random blood sugar levels, and total blood protein in drug users. Community collaboration with related parties such as the public health service and National Narcotics Agency will very quickly detect drug side effects early on eating disorders that will affect the nutritional status of its users.

Abstract Objective Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are energy sources needed by the body for performing daily activities and generating primary energy substances. In women who have undergone menopause, the function of thyroid hormone in their body begins to decline and thus affects the ability of the body to produce energy. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the intakes of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats and random blood sugar levels in menopausal women. Methods This study was a correlational analytical research with a cross-sectional design, which was conducted in 72 menopausal women recruited by the purposive sampling technique. In this study, a 24-hour food recall form was used, and randomized blood sugar levels were measured using a glucometer. The analysis of the data was performed using a Pearson product moment and multiple linear regression. Results Carbohydrates and fats together affected random blood sugar levels with an F-value of 25.810 and a p-value of 0.000. Meanwhile, adjusted R2 showed the value of 0.411, indicating that the difference in the intake of carbohydrates and fats together affected random blood sugar levels by 41.1%. Conclusions Intake of carbohydrates and fats affected random blood sugar levels, whereas the rest were influenced by other factors, and protein intake was unrelated to random blood sugar levels in menopausal women.
