ABSTRACT
Background: Anaemia is a global public health problem. InIndia, Jharkhand state is one of the state where under nutritionis highly prevalent. Most of the health problems like lowimmunity, Anaemia, hypoprotienemia arise due to low proteinintake. During erythropoiesis, Haemoglobin synthesis requiresprotein, Vitamin B12, Folic acid, Vitamin C as well as mineralslike Fe, Cu etc. Adequate nutrition is of prime importance andthis is reflected in plasma also.Objectives: To assess the level of Hb and plasma proteinamong study subjects with a co-relation of Hb with plasmaprotein.Materials and Methods: Present study was undertaken atMGM Medical College, Jamshedpur. 177 participants wereselected for the study and the data were obtained on differentvariables. Blood samples were also taken from the participants.Results: Most of the study subjects were anaemic. Anaemiawas more common among female subjects in comparison withmales. The present study found a positive co-relation betweenHb and Plasma protein.Conclusion: There is a strong co-relation observed betweenplasma protein, daily protein intake, and BMI withhaemoglobin.
ABSTRACT
Background: Gallstone disease is common gastrointestinalproblem encountered in day to day practice. Super saturationof bile in cholesterol, enhanced nucleation of cholesterol,impaired gallbladder emptying and intestinal hypo motilityfavors the formation of gallstones. Consumption of diet rich incarbohydrates but deficient in iron alters hepatic metabolism ofcholesterol and promotes cholesterol crystal formation.Objective: To correlate iron deficiency anemia with gallstonedisease in Kolhan region of Jharkhand.Materials & Methods: A prospective study was conductedduring period of one year in department of surgery MahatmaGandhi Memorial Medical College Hospital, Jamshedpur. 50patients with ultrasonographically proven gallstone diseaseadmitted in surgery department during this period wereincluded in the study. 50 individuals admitted in surgerydepartment, not suffering from gall stone diseases were takenas control group. Subjects were divided into two groups anemicand non-anemic based on Hemoglobin% and serum iron.Serum cholesterol of both the groups was estimated.Results: Female was affected more in case and control groupwith mean age 39.72±15.382.Conclusion: Iron deficiency anemia plays a significant role insuper saturation of bile with cholesterol leading to gallstoneformation.
ABSTRACT
Background: Type II Diabetes mellitus has emerged as aglobal public health problem with more effect on developingworld. India is considered to become epicentre of DM in nearfuture. Serum uric acid is a by-product of purine metabolism.Most of the studies provide a positive relationship betweenhyperglycemia & hyperuricemia.Objectives: To co-relate the level of serum uric acid ineuglycemic persons having family history of DM and in personshaving no family history of DM and to assess the level ofHbA1c among these two groups.Materials and Methods: Present study was undertaken atMGM Medical College, Jamshedpur and Sadar Hospital,Jamshedpur with a sample size of 60 (30 in each group).Results: The present study didn’t find any significantdifference in serum uric acid between two groups although asignificant difference was observed in HbA1c in both groups.
