Type 2 diabetes is a common disease in these days and day by day it is arising. The main focus of the study was to investigate association of packed cell volume (PCV), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MPV), Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) with glycemic marker HbA1c. So that PCV, MPV, MCHC, RDW could be used as a predictor of glucoregulation in type 2 diabetes instead of HbA1c value. This study included 87 DMT2 patients, which divided into two groups, A (n=41, presence in diabetics≤6.5-6.9%) and B (n=46, target in diabetes≥7.0%), according to HbA1c values. Spearsman correlation co-efficients were calculated to evaluate the relationship between RBC count, MCHC, RDW with random blood sugar (RBS) and PCV, MCV, MCHC with HbA1c value. Binominal logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate the relationship between glycemic control, as dichotomous outcome of MCHC, RDW, PCV, and MCV as the main prognosticator. MCHC and RDW were significantly higher in the group B compared to the group A. RDW and MCHC may be applied as the auxiliary indicators of deterioration of glucoregulation.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor resulting in recurrent colic in a arabian horse gelding a report of case
Published on: 2nd November, 2020
OCLC Number/Unique Identifier: 8697203989
Background: A Grey 12-year-old Arabian endurance horse gelding was referred to the SHS Veterinary Center for anorexia, mild colic of 5 days duration, and melena of 1 day duration. The owner reported recurring colic, 12 episodes of mild colic in the previous year.
Methods: On admission, vital signs were within normal limits and body condition score was estimated to be 3/9.
Results: Packed cell volume (PCV) was 28% [reference range (RR): 31% to 47%] and plasma total protein was 58 g/L (RR: 60 to 80 g/L). Hematochezia was observed. Abdominal ultrasound examination detected no abnormalities. Over the next 12 h, the horse experienced hematochezia and several mild episodes of colic and death. A necropsy was performed. A mass arising from the right dorsal ascending colon near the base of the cecum and extending transmurally from the colonic mucosa into the mesocolon was a 8 cm × 5 cm × 8 cm firm, homogenous, tan mass. The portion of the mass that extended into the colonic lumen was pedunculated, with an ulcerated surface. The adjacent segments of colon were markedly reddened and edematous. Histologically, the mass was comprised of large interweaving sheets of small, spindle cells with ill-defined cell borders embedded in abundant myxomatous matrix. Tumor cells contained scant eosinophilic cytoplasm and oval to elongate nuclei with finely stippled chromatin and inconspicuous nucleoli. Mitotic figures were rare (1/10) high power fields. Tumor infiltrated between the muscularis interna and the muscularis externa at the myenteric plexi.
Conclusion: Gross and histologic appearance, were consistent with a diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor.
Surgical and Delivery Outcomes of Coexisting Uterine Fibroids with Pregnancies in Nigeria
Published on: 19th March, 2024
Background: Coexisting uterine fibroid with pregnancy is associated with increased pregnancy complications. This study evaluates the prevalence of coexisting uterine fibroids, and surgical and delivery outcomes among pregnant women who had cesarean sections.Methods: This comparative observational study was conducted among pregnant women who had cesarean sections at the labor ward operating room of Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. One hundred and five pregnant women aged 20 years - 40 years were recruited and grouped based on the intraoperative presence of grossly visible uterine fibroids (n = 23) and no uterine fibroids (n = 82). Surgical and delivery outcomes were measured. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 26 and the means between the two groups were compared using an independent sample t-test with significance set at p < .05.Results: The prevalence of uterine fibroids found during cesarean sections in this study was 21.9%. The mean age of the participants was comparable (M = 30.25 SD = 5.232). There were statistically significant differences in mean pre-operative packed cell volume (t(df) = 2.077 (65.31) p = .042, estimated blood loss (t(df) = 2.045 (36.664) p =.010, post-op packed cell volume (t(df) = 1.054 (24.035) p = .049, and duration of hospital stay (t(df) = -.235(65.846) p = .019. The study showed that there was a difference in mean surgery time = 7.996 95% CI: -.879 to 16.871 but this was not found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: Uterine fibroid coexisting with pregnancy has a significant effect on the surgery time, estimated blood loss, and length of hospital stay. Therefore, adequate complication readiness and proper follow-up of the patient will be crucial to avert likely complications during and after surgery in women with coexisting uterine fibroid in pregnancy.

In 2017, I submitted a manuscript to the journal Archives of Biotechnology and Biomedicine belonging to Heighten Science Publications Corporation. Within one week I already received the response from the editor. All processing steps were really fast so in terms of a speedy publication I can particularly recommend the journal Archives of Biotechnology and Biomedicine. The responsible contact person of the journal was always available, which gives a trustworthy impression to the author. Also the peer review process was clear and constructive. So from my experience with Heighten Science Publications Corporation I can recommend publishing there.
