Type 2 Diabetes mellitus T2DM has been suggested to be the most common
metabolic disorder associated with magnesium deficiency which has many adverse
outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate plasma Mg in 126 T2DM patients
recruited from Dia
betes Centre in Lattakia, compare them to 70 healthy individuals, and
assess the correlation between plasma Mg and HbA1c as a glycemic control biomarker.
Magnesium was measured using xylidyl blue colorimetric method. HbA1c was measured
using ion-exchange resin separation. The SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical
analysis. Mean plasma Mg concentrations of the diabetics was significantly lower than
controls (P=0.0001). Plasma magnesium was negatively correlated with HbA1c (r=-0.5,
P=0.0002). Plasma magnesium was below the normal reference range (1.9-2.5 mg/dL) in
47.6% of diabetics and 28.6% of controls. In conclusion, it is important to monitor Mg
levels in both T2DM patients and non-diabetics and take procedures to correct
hypomagnesaemia states.
Aiming to study the effect of propolis powder on some blood
parameters of sheep, propolis powder was used in feeding of sheep
by adding it in the form of dry powder .
The research was carried out Syrian Awassi sheep which they are
locally existed
.
Sheep were divided into four groups (control and three experiment
groups) (2 , 3 , 4) k.g/100k.g diet of propolis powder were added to
diets.
It was used in this study (15) of the female mice . They were divided into three
groups : control , and two experimental groups (five mice in each group) .The control
group was given distilled water, while the first experimental group was received
only
Paraben daily ( 250 mg / kg of body weight). As the second experimental group was
received daily together of Paraben and aqueous ginger extract ( 250 mg / kg of paraben and
250 mg / aqueous ginger extract ) for (18 ) day .
Objective:
To examine associations between hematological parameters ( hemoglobin,
hematocrit, platelet (PLT(, red blood cell (RBC), and white blood cell (WBC)) and
components of metabolic syndrome (MS) among the Syrian Coast population.
Methods:
Study subjects were 304 patients (140 men and 164 women), aged between 20-75 years,
who attended endocrine and cardiac clinic in Tishreen and Al-Assad University Hospitals
during the period from February 2015 to April 2016. MS was classified according to the
International Diabetes Federation criterion. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals
(95% CI) of MS were calculated using logistic regression procedures.
Results:
Hematologic parameters were significantly associated with MS components (Ptrend<0.05).
and they increased with increasing number of MS components in both men and Women,
All haematological parameters were positively associated with BMI, waist circumference,
Triglycerides and negatively associated with HDL in male and female subjects. Among
men, MS risk increased across successive quartiles of HB (OR= 4.43,9.27 and 10.18),
HCT (OR= 3.57, 6 and 7.2), PLT (OR= 2.19, 4.18 and 20.86), WBC (OR= 1.59, 5.7 and
7.13) and RBC (OR= 4.49,5.32 and 9.68) as compared with those in the lowest reference
group (P ≥ 0.0001). Among women, those in the highest quartiles of (HB, HCT, PLT ,
WBC and RBC) had respectively (1.26, 1.88, 10.93, 3.93 and 3.55)-fold increased odds of
MetS as compared with those in the lowest reference group. Our findings provide further
evidence in support of using hematological markers for early detection of individuals at
risk for MS.
In this prospective study done in Syria from mars 2014 to
February 2015, Mean serum hemoglobin ,serum hematocrit,
serum ferritin, and the ratio of serum iron to total iron-binding
capacity were investigated in 100 children aged ( 2-11) years.
The
study aimed at assessing the extention of anemia in
giardiasis intestinalis in Syrians children.
This study aims to show the effectiveness of hydroxyl urea in the treatment of
severe forms of sickle-cell anemia.
The study included 30 patients from patients with sickle cell anemia and who
reviewed the Blood clinics in AL- Assad University Hosp
ital .
We had studied patients treated with hydroxy urea for at least 6 months, where it was
compared to blood and clinical variables before and after hydroxy urea treatment.
The results showed an improvement in blood and clinical manifestations , and it was
noted a significant increase in the level of fetal hemoglobin, and a decrease in the level of
hemoglobin and sickle cell after hydroxy urea treatment.
hydroxy urea treatment also led to a clear increase in the level of total hemoglobin,
and a decrease in the value of total bilirubin.
Decrease in the number of the pain episodes that needed hospitalization, and the
number of times of blood transfusion after treatment, too.
This study was conducted at Gharabo farm, Fac. Agric. Damascus
Universityin order to determine the effect of heat sress and level of vit. C on the
blood indicators of of Japanese quailc A total of 252 females Chicks were
distributed randomly into
two groups (G and G2) at one day of age, The chicks
in G1were subjected to an ideal temperature required according to their age up
to 30 days old, while the chicks in G2 were subjected to heat stress at 42 °C
during the daytime from 8 am to 5 pm and to ideal temperature from 5pm to
8am for the same period of rearing. Chicks of each group were distributed into
three subgroups given three levels of vitamin C: 0, 10 and20 g/l, with three
replicates for each sub-group during the rearing period. Blood samples were
collected from eighteen birds selected randomly from each group. Results
indicated that there was a significant increase in both red blood cells and
hemoglobin in the stressed group.
This study was carried at Al Assad hospital, Lattakia. It is a retrospective study of uterine leiomyoma patients who had been accepted in the Department of Gynecology during the period between 1/6/2011 and 1/6/2013 .
The study included 103 patients.
We documented information for each patient: age, signs and symptoms, number of pregnancies and births, clinical and vaginal examination, ultrasound, blood tests: hemoglobin, hematocrit and red cell values, and the type of surgical treatment.
The prevalence of uterine leiomyoma in this study was 5.1%.
The most clinical manifestation of uterine leiomyoma was abnormal uterine bleeding (63.1 %).
Hemoglobin was less than 12 g / dL at 59.22% of cases.
Hematocrit was less than 36% at 57.28 % of cases.
This confirms that uterine leiomyoma patients are at high risk of anemia,
(we depended on cut off point of WHO for hemoglobin and hematocrit), and the anemia is by iron deficiency because the average values of red blood cells were less than normal.
Myomectomy is the surgical option among young women who want to reproduce or maintain menstruation, while abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy are surgical options for older women or who have completed their reproductive life .
