ABSTRACT
Objective: To measure and compare the glucose and Insulin levels of asymptomatic offspring of type 2 diabetic patients with asymptomatic offspring of non diabetics
Study design: Case control study
Place and duration: Department of Pathology PGMI, Lahore and Diagnostic Laboratory of UVAS, Lahore, from 1st October 2009 to 30th June 2010
Methodology: Non diabetic healthy offspring of diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus attending the medical departments of LGH Lahore, both male and female below 30 years of age, documented by normal fasting blood glucose level and not having any symptom of diabetes were included
Results: In this study glucose and insulin were measured in 100 subjects. Glucose was measured by GOD PAP method and Insulin by ELISA technique. Mean +/- SD of glucose in control group was 80.75 +/- 14.21and in study group was 80.92 +/- 13.38having non significant difference having P value 0.081. Mean +/- SD of insulin in control group was 16.80 +/- 4.09 and in study group was 18.40 +/- 13.32 having non significant difference having P value 0.098
Conclusion: Insulin and glucose concentrations were within normal limits, and were not having any significant direct or inverse relationship [p=0.076]
ABSTRACT
Symplastic leiomyoma is a rare histological variant of leiomyoma. This is a case report of a young nulliparous patient who presented with primary infertility for 2 years and swelling in lower abdomen for 6 months. Intramural fibroid was diagnosed during a pelvic ultrasound. Histopathology of that myomectomy showed symplastic leiomyoma with absent mitotic figures. The patient was managed as for a benign tumor
