Skin tags are common benign skin tumors usually occurring on the neck and major flexors of older people. Objective: To investigate and compare the prevalence of diabetes and disorders of triglycerides, cholesterol, LDL, and HDL levels in patients wit
h skin tags and a control group. A case-control study was conducted in individuals between (25-70) years old, comparing cases (n=107) and age-, sex-matched controls (n=97) without skin tag. Cases and controls were recruited from patients consecutively seen at the outpatient dermatology clinic at Al-Assad University Hospital in Lattakia. All patients underwent standard laboratory tests of fasting blood sugar , triglycerides , cholesterol , LDL , and HDL levels.
Results: Patients with skin tags had higher frequency of diabetes and higher levels of triglycerides , cholesterol , and LDL than the control group (P <=0.0001) and lower levels of HDL in patients with skin tags than the control group (P<=0.001). A positive correlation was found between the existing of skin tags and high BMI comparing with the control group (P<=0.0001).
According to our results, skin tags might be a useful clinical sign that could alert clinicians to screen patients with skin tags for abnormal lipids, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease, and guide patients with skin tags to modify their life style, avoiding risk factors and making clinical laboratory check-up periodically
A trial was carried out to study the possibility of using
fenugreek powder in the treatment of diabetes type(2). 48
Newzealand white male rabbits ( five months old)were used
in this experiment.Theexperimental animals were randomly
divided into fo
ur groups. By using Aloluxan, we enforced
diabetes type2 in three of the four groups of the
experimental animals. The animals of the fourth group
remained as a natural healthy control.
The purpose of this article is how to use HPLC technique for
quantitive analysis of cholesterol in some foods. The best conditions
are studied for this analysis including composition of mobile phase,
temperature, flow rate, the wavelength of detec
tor UV-VIS, and
acidity of mobile phase. The column used for cholesterol
determination by this method was: C18(5μm,250x4.6mm) with
injection volume of 20μL. Methanol 100% was used as mobile
phase.
Decreasing serum lipids is still blocked by chemical drugs which have many
side effects, and to achieve a safe medicine, this study aims to investigate the act of aqueous extracts of
dried and fresh Zingiber officinale roscoe at tow doses on the le
vels of total cholesterol, HDL high-density
cholesterol, LDL low-density cholesterol, and TG triglycerides in rat with hypercholesterolemia, resulting
from hypothyroidism, caused by propyltheouracil PTU.
In Alassad Hospital we studied a population of 70 patients with pleural effusion for a period from August 2014 to Agust 2015 . The patients were 40men(57.1%) and 30 women(42.9) . According to the criteria used , 23(32.9%)patients were transudative ef
fusions , and 47(67.1%)had exudative effusions . In our study we measured the level of cholesterol in the pleural fluid to assess the role of this measure in differentiating between transudativ and exudative effusion and the different causes of the effusion . We found that : pleural fluid cholesterol levels were significantly lower in the transudative than in exudative effusions ( 10.702±21.8 mg/dL and 32.67±69.39 mg/L respectively ) , but Light's criteria is better than level of cholesterol in pleural effusion to differentiate between the two types of effusions . but the stsatistic result improved when we add cholesterol into lights criteria . In the exudative effusion with lymphocytic cholesterol level more than 72.5 mg/dL is a strong suggestion for tuberculosis effusion , whether the level lower suggestive of malignant for exudative effusions . So , levels of cholesterol in pleural effusion can narrow the differential diagnosis of pleural effusions and help for perfecting the results .
The experiment was conducted on 24 brown laying hens at 30
weeks old and were randomly assigned to four groups, each
consisting of six laying hens and put in individual cages stacked in
accordance with the battery system in the unit of poultry fee
d at the
Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Hama, in order to
study the effect of different types of oil and fat on performance,
apparent and true metabolizable energy, and apparent and true fats
digestibility.
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.
Aiming to develop the growth, to decrease antibiotic and increase
immunity of poultry, propolis and garlic powder was used in
feeding of broiler chicken by adding it in the form of dry powder .
The research was carried out on Hubberd hybrid which they are
locally existed. Birds were divided into four groups (control and
three experiment groups).
The increase in sugar, cholesterol and triglyceride among the citizens of
my country is not insignificant, so I went to study the causes of this
phenomenon. Among these reasons is the genetic disorder that has been
caused by a disorder in the lipid proteins. I studied at least fifty cases of
familial genetic disorder, Cholesterol, and triglyceride levels.
