ABSTRACT
Introduction: An association involving increased serumcalcium and deviation of blood lipid profiles is suggested byresearch workers but any connection of this association withrisks of increased acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is not yetstated. We wish to look at the association of abnormal serumcalcium and lipid levels with occurrence of myocardialinfarction.Methods: A prospective case-control study consists of 50 AMIpatients were diagnosed by cardiologists and 50 apparentlyhealthy individuals entered in the study. Serum calcium, bloodlipid profiles, and anthropometric parameters were assessed inthese study individuals. Student’s t-test was used to comparedifferent values between patients and healthy individuals.Pearson’s correlation coefficient was also used to determinethe positive association between serum calcium, blood lipidprofiles in this study population.Results: Levels of serum calcium and blood lipid profiles inAMI patients were observed significantly higher than healthyindividuals. Furthermore, serum calcium levels showed positivecorrelation with serum cholesterol levels in AMI patients.Conclusions: These findings conclude that increased serumcalcium and abnormal lipid profiles May perhaps a link withincreased risk of AMI.
ABSTRACT
To evaluate the pre- and post-procedure serum calcium, serum albumin, coagulation parameter along with hematological parameters at every procedure. Methods: Pre-procedure and post-procedure renal functions, coagulation parameter along with hematological parameters at every procedure will also record. Procedure details will be recorded on specifically designed preforms. The statistical analysis will be carried out using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois, USA). Qualitative variables have been expressed as percentage. Quantitative variables are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Results: The present study demonstrated that Hemoglobin (gm/dl), S. Calcium (mg/dl), serum albumin (gm/dl), platelet count (Pt. sec), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and INR status before and after TPE and IvIg were almost parallel. Shrivastava et al. (2015) study showed good acceptance of TPE was in 80.3% patients. At the time of discharge 75.7% patients showed clinical improvement in their muscle strength and 99.0% patients scored higher grades of functional outcomes. Conclusion: Early diagnosis, intervention by TPE in the first week after the onset, at a center where facilities are available in conjunction with good ICU management and supportive care are important measures to reduce the period of the hospitalization, complications, disabilities, morbidity and mortality in patients with GBS and thereby improving the quality of life and is the key for successful outcomes in resource constraint countries.
