This study determined reference ranges for s-adenosylmethionine (SAM), s-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), and their ratio in healthy male and female Caucasians, showing gender differences in these levels. It also investigated determinants influencing these levels, finding that the MTHFR 677C>T polymorphism affects SAM and SAH, while B-vitamin levels do not. Increased SAH and decreased SAM/SAH ratios are noted in patients with a history of pre-eclampsia, suggesting implications for vitamin interventions aimed at reducing cardiovascular risk.

Familial hypercholesterolaemia
Familial hypercholesterolaemiaSiavash Mirzaei
?
Cholesterol is a lipid that is essential for cell structure and production of hormones and energy. High cholesterol levels are caused by genetic mutations that reduce the body's ability to remove cholesterol from the bloodstream. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited condition characterized by elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from birth. It is caused by mutations in genes that affect the LDL receptor, resulting in excess cholesterol deposition in tissues. FH increases the risk of early heart disease and can be diagnosed through blood tests showing elevated total and LDL cholesterol levels.Homocysteine and Alzheimer's Disease

This study aimed to assess whether plasma levels of homocysteine could predict cognitive decline and the onset of Alzheimer's disease. The study measured homocysteine and cysteine levels in 103 subjects divided into groups with no impairment, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease. No significant differences in homocysteine or cysteine levels were found across groups. This contrasts with prior studies but may be explained by increased dietary folate from government-mandated folic acid fortification, which helps lower homocysteine levels. Further research is needed to determine if homocysteine remains a risk factor for Alzheimer's in the current era.AHA NPAM EPI 2007 Abstract

The study explored the relationship between metabolic syndrome risk factors, the Framingham Risk Score (FRS), and 10-year coronary heart disease risk (CHDR) in 73 extremely obese individuals. Triglycerides best predicted FRS, but the model fit was poor. A model including HDL, triglycerides, and waist circumference best predicted CHDR, accounting for slightly over half the variance. However, neither model was able to fully explain the variance, suggesting metabolic syndrome variables alone are not sufficient to accurately predict 10-year risk of myocardial infarction or coronary heart disease.Research project.ppt idil_&_huda

Pro-inflammatory HDL (piHDL) may help predict risk of atherosclerosis (ATH) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The study found 45% of SLE patients and none of the healthy controls had piHDL. PiHDL was significantly associated with carotid plaque and greatly increased the risk of plaque in SLE patients. Traditional risk factors did not fully explain the risk of ATH in SLE. PiHDL could be a useful marker for predicting ATH risk in SLE patients. Further research is needed to develop new treatments targeting piHDL and risk profiles including piHDL.Hematology 2013-thein-354-61

While amylase remains an important initial test due to its availability and sensitivity, it lacks specificity. Lipase has greater sensitivity in alcoholic pancreatitis and late presentations, but can also be nonspecifically elevated. No single test can accurately diagnose, assess severity, or determine the etiology of acute pancreatitis. Multiple tests and factors like time of testing must be considered.

This document discusses hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and provides several key points:
1. HCM has a prevalence of about 1 in 500 people in the general population. In Palermo, Italy where there are 1.2 million residents, it is estimated that at least 6,000 patients have HCM.
2. HCM is caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomere proteins. The most common genes involved are beta myosin heavy chain, myosin binding protein C, and troponin T.
3. While most HCM patients have left ventricular hypertrophy, some mutation carriers may be "genotype positive/phenotype negative" without overt hypertrophy. These individualsSeeking Optimal Relation between oxygen saturation.doc

This study aimed to define the relationship between oxygen saturation (O2sat) and hemoglobin concentration in adults with cyanosis from congenital heart disease. 65 patients underwent testing to measure factors that could influence erythropoiesis. 21 patients met criteria for having optimal erythropoiesis. For these patients, there was a strong negative linear correlation between O2sat and hemoglobin. The regression equation defined an optimal hemoglobin level for any given O2sat. Patients with hemoglobin levels closer to the predicted optimal level had better exercise capacity on testing compared to those with lower-than-predicted hemoglobin levels, suggesting clinical relevance of the defined relationship.07 abdominal obesity_and_association_with.1

This study examined the association between visceral fat (VF) and subcutaneous fat (SCF) with cardiovascular risk factors in 101 Brazilian adults. VF was significantly associated with higher triglycerides, lower HDL cholesterol, higher total cholesterol, larger waist circumference, and higher blood pressure in both women and men. SCF was significantly associated with higher triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, larger waist circumference, and higher blood pressure in women, and larger waist circumference and metabolic syndrome in men. The findings support the idea that there are gender differences in the correlations between ectopic fat deposition and cardiovascular risk factors.11. DM STUDY

The study investigates discrepancies in goal attainments for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and apolipoprotein B (Apo B) among 2,172 Chinese patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) or diabetes mellitus (DM). Findings reveal that the success rates for Apo B were consistently higher than for LDL-C across various categorizations, with notable differences in men versus women. The results suggest that LDL-C lags behind Apo B in therapeutic outcomes, highlighting the need for further investigation into these discrepancies.Syntax Score and its Relation to Lipoprotein a CLp (a) and Extended Lipid Par...

The study evaluated the relationship between syntax score and lipid parameters, including lipoprotein (a), in 75 non-diabetic patients under 55 years with acute coronary syndrome. It found that higher syntax scores correlated with elevated levels of total cholesterol, non-HDL, and LDL, while no significant association was found between syntax scores and lipoprotein (a) levels. This indicates that while certain lipid profiles can indicate severity in coronary artery disease, lipoprotein (a) does not play a significant role in this context.Enli2014

This study analyzed the concentrations of adipocytokines (adiponectin, resistin, and visfatin) in children with different types of beta-thalassemia. Results indicated that these adipocytokines were significantly higher in beta-thalassemia major and intermedia patients compared to controls, suggesting a possible role in disease complications. The findings highlight the connection between beta-thalassemia severity and increased levels of these adipocytokines, underscoring their potential importance in the disease's inflammatory processes.Index Percentile Distribution Poster

The document compares different methods of standardizing blood pressure measurements in children, including blood pressure index (BPI), z-scores (BPZ), and percentiles (BPP). It finds that BPI provides a better measure of hypertension severity, as blood pressure is not normally distributed. Applying the LMS normalization method to the data improves the distributions of BPI and BPZ towards normal. LMS-corrected BPP exhibits the proper uniform distribution, making it a useful clinical measure, though BPI remains easier to calculate.Anti Mullerian Hormone in Transfusion Dependent B- Thalassemia and Chronic Id...

1) a-Thalassemia is a common red blood cell disorder in Taiwan that affects 6-8% of the population. It is caused by defects in alpha-globin gene synthesis.
2) Previous studies have shown that reactive oxygen species are generated in increased amounts in red blood cells of thalassemia patients, implying possible alterations in their redox status that could adversely impact health.
3) The current study investigated the redox status of patients with alpha-thalassemia trait and hemoglobin H disease. It found that lipid peroxidation was increased, plasma antioxidant levels were lower, and red blood cells had reduced antioxidant defenses and increased susceptibility to oxidative damage compared to controls.Genetics in cardiovascular system

Live Wire, Not a Couch Potato was an engaging international eTwinning project aimed at promoting physical activity among youth by blending creativity, tradition, and competition. Founded by teachers from Serbia and Portugal, with partners from Turkey and Greece, the project encouraged students to explore the importance of staying active through fun and meaningful challenges. Working within their local contexts, students from all four countries participated in physical activities at school and in their communities. They documented their experiences through photos, videos, and written reflections, which they shared on TwinSpace. The project helped transform exercise from a routine task into an enjoyable, culturally rich experience, while fostering teamwork, creativity, and international exchange.Drug use in Peptic Ulcer_A complete review.pptx

Open PPT for detail description: Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)
Peptic ulcer disease refers to mucosal erosions equal to or greater than 5 mm in the stomach or proximal duodenum, caused primarily by an imbalance between gastric acid/pepsin secretion and mucosal defense mechanisms. The most common etiologies include Helicobacter pylori infection, chronic use of NSAIDs, and physiological stress.
Classification of Peptic Ulcers
? Based on Location
Gastric Ulcers C Occur in the stomach lining.
Duodenal Ulcers C Occur in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
? Based on Etiology
H. pyloriCAssociated Ulcers
NSAID-Induced Ulcers
Stress-Related Mucosal Disease (SRMD)
ZollingerCEllison Syndrome (gastrinoma-related)
Cushings Ulcer (due to intracranial injury)
Curlings Ulcer (seen in burn patients)
Pharmacological Management
? 1. Acid Suppression Therapy
Class Examples Mechanism
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) Omeprazole, Pantoprazole Irreversibly inhibit H+/K+ ATPase pump
H2-Receptor Antagonists Ranitidine, Famotidine Block histamine-mediated gastric acid secretion
? 2. Mucosal Protective Agents
Class Examples Mechanism
Prostaglandin Analogues Misoprostol Increases mucus & bicarbonate; decreases acid; protects mucosa
Mucosal Coating Agents Sucralfate Forms protective barrier over ulcer site
Bismuth Compounds Bismuth subsalicylate Antimicrobial, mucosal protective, and anti-inflammatory
? 3. Eradication Therapy (for H. pylori)
Combination of:
PPI + Two Antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin + clarithromycin OR metronidazole + tetracycline)
Duration: 7C14 days depending on local guidelines
See BNF regimens above for detailed protocols
? 4. Cytoprotective/Adjunctive Agents
Class Examples Role in PUD
Somatostatin Analogues Octreotide Used in bleeding ulcers; reduces splanchnic blood flow and gastric secretions
Antacids Magnesium hydroxide, Aluminium hydroxide Neutralize gastric acid; provide symptomatic relief
Non-Pharmacologic Measures
Avoid NSAIDs, smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods
Small, frequent meals in symptomatic patients
Stress reduction
Endoscopic therapy in case of bleeding or perforation
Surgical Indications (rarely needed)
Perforated ulcer
Gastric outlet obstruction
Refractory ulcers not responding to medical therapy
Severe bleeding unresponsive to endoscopic management
? Summary
Peptic ulcer disease is primarily driven by H. pylori infection and NSAID use, with duodenal ulcers more common than gastric. Treatment is tailored based on etiology and includes acid suppression, H. pylori eradication, and mucosal protection. Advanced cases may require somatostatin analogues for hemorrhage control or surgery for complications. Prostaglandin analogues like misoprostol are especially valuable in preventing NSAID-induced ulcers.whooping cough community health nursing.

Poster SAM/SAH
- 1. Reference ranges and determinants of S-adenosylmethionine and S-adenosylhomocysteine R. de Jonge, R. de Nooijer, H. van Lenthe, B. van Zelst, M. Duran, W. Kulik , J. Lindemans 1 Dept. of Clinical Chemistry, Erasmus MC Rotterdam, and 2 Laboratory Genetic Metabolic Diseases, Depts. of Clinical Chemistry and Pediatrics, Emma Childrens Hospital, University of Amsterdam, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam; NL Introduction The pathophysiology behind the association between hyperhomocysteinemia and (cardiovascular) disease might be better explained by increased S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) and a decreased S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)/SAH ratio, reflecting cellular hypomethylation (Figure 1). We determined reference ranges for fasting SAM, SAH, and SAM/SAH and investigated determinants of these levels. Furthermore, fasting SAH was higher ( P =0.02) and SAM/SAH was lower ( P =0.01) in female patients compared to healthy women (Figure 2) Figure 2: SAM/SAH in female patients vs. controls B-vitamin levels were unrelated to plasma SAM, SAH and SAM/SAH levels. MTHFR 677 TT was associated with increased fasting SAM ( P =0.08) and fasting SAH ( P =0.008) and decreased fasting SAM/SAH ( P =0.07). Table 2: Univariate regression fasting SAM/SAH Conclusions Gender differences exist for SAM, SAH and SAM/SAH . Patients with a history of pre-eclampsia show increseased SAH levels and decreased SAM/SAH ratios, possibly reflecting cellular hypomethylation. The MTHFR 677C>T polymorphism was related to SAM and SAH whereas B-vitamins were not. This may have implications for the efficacy of vitamin intervention trials aimed at reducing homocysteine and cardiovascular risk. Figure 1: Homocysteine and SAM/SAH metabolism Methods We took non-fasting blood of 100 (50 male, 50 female) healthy Caucasian blood bank donors. Furthermore, fasting and post-methionine (0.1 g/kg) blood samples of patients with a history of pre-eclampsia (n=44) were analysed for SAM and SAH (LC-MS/MS), homocysteine and vitamin B6 (HPLC), and folate and vitamin B12 ( Roche E170 analyzer). Polymorphisms in folate-related genes were detected by PCR-RFLP. Results In healthy Caucasians (mean age 48 ? 12 years), SAM (95% central range: male: 80-214 nmol/L; female: 66-128 nmol/L) and SAH (male: 15-31 nmol/L; female: 10-23 nmol/L) were significantly lower in females whereas the SAM/SAH ratio was higher (male: 3.3-8.2; female: 3.8-8.8; see Table 1).
