ABSTRACT
Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is a typical hair issue, which may have obliterating mental and social outcomes and is portrayed by the nearness of nonscarring alopecia. Objective: This examination has targets to assess the serum nutrient D levels , with AA; contrast the outcome and clearly sound control; and confirm relationship between AA types and serum nutrient D levels. Patients Also Methods: the examine might have been led clinched alongside Tikrit educating healing facility throughout those time starting with June 2019 of the limit for January 2020. Irrefutably the quantity of subjects associated with the assessment was ninety individuals isolated in two social events; the patients bundle were forty five the people who whimper of AA while the resulting gathering including a forty five age and sex-made solid volunteers were picked as a benchmark gathering. The degree and movement of the alopecia were noted and the patients were meticulously broke down for signs of various ailments. Research center assessments were led to patients and also to those control population, these included serum vitamin D levels were measured as 25-hydroxyvitamin D {25(OH)D} using a chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay. Blood models were gotten starting with patients and control subjects after totally taught consent was gotten. Results : An essential complexity may have been found for serum 25-OH Vit D levels between patients other than controls. Vitamin D sufficiency were more common in controls than in patients. Serum Vitamin D was deficient in both cases and controls group; but, the deficiency was significantly more throughout AA group (35. 6%) compared to the handle group (11. 1%). Among the list patients gathering, levels associated with nutrient D were totally higher in guys in contrast with females. Conclusions: AA might be related with nutrient D deficiency as mean degrees of nutrient D of patients were seen as fundamentally lower than typical sound controls.

In India, many state reference centres for sexually transmitted infections perform only a single screening assay for syphilis diagnosis. In this study, Treponema pallidum haemagglutination (TPHA) was performed on 1115 Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL)/rapid plasma regain (RPR) non-reactive and 107 reactive sera out of 10,489 tested by VDRL/RPR according to the National AIDS Control Organisation syphilis testing protocol. A total of 47 Specimens reactive in TPHA and non-reactive with VDRL test were subjected to fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption and enzyme-immunoassay. Seroprevalence considering both VDRL and TPHA positivity was highest (4.4%) in sexually transmitted diseases clinic attendees than in other subject groups. Positivity by two treponemal tests in 24 (2.2%) cases non-reactive by VDRL/RPR was representative of the fully treated patients or latent or late syphilis cases. The findings highlight that a suitable treponemal confirmatory test should be performed in all the diagnostic laboratories.
ABSTRACT
Objective To report the diagnosis and treatment of the pregnant women, who were positive for syphilis in serological test, as well as their final pregnant results. Methods we conducted a retrospective analysis of the serological test results of 3 105 pregnant women subjected to childbirth or induced labor in the department of gynaecology and obstetrics at our hospital since January of 2004. Results Of the 3105 pregnant women, 21 (6.76 ) were positive for treponema pallidum (TP). Additionally, 7 (33.33%) cases were positive for TRUST, and 6 (28.57%) negative. Only 2 cases showed skin lesion, canker and soft chancre. Of the 18 cases, who were found to get infection during pregnancy, 11 (61.11%) had taken the treatment against syphilis. Of the 21 women positive for TP, 5 were subjected to induced labor, 13 to cesarean section, and 3 to spontaneous parturition. The average time of pregnancy was (267.44?11.00) d. The Apgar score of all 16 newborns was 10 at birth. The umbilical blood of 5 infants was tested by TP and TRUST, among which 3 were positive by TP, 2 were positive for TRUST. All infants did not have any clinical manifestation of congenital syphilis after birth. There were 5 cases transferred to the ward of pediatrics, among which 2 undertook the treatment against syphilis, 2 against premature delivery, and 1 against asphyxia, and finally all had been cured. Conclusion The patients, who were found positive for TP during the early and middle period of pregnancy, can obtain a fine pregnant result, if undertaking regular examination and treatment against syphilis.
