RESUMEN

Background: Various studies have known abatements in lung function and several other health problems associated with longstanding air pollution exposure. One of the most cost-effective and environmental alternative of conventional fuels (petrol and diesel) is compressed natural gas (CNG). The increasing use of CNG as a fuel (as it is safe and cheap as compare to the conventional fuels) can add one more bug to the list of work-related disease. Aims and Objectives: This study is to evaluate the respiratory functions of CNG pump workers. Materials and Methods: The present study was held on 82 male subjects. The study group included of non-smoking healthy adult males, age group of 20–40 years working in different CNG stations in Surat city for >6 months and 8 h per day. The control group included of non-smoking healthy adult males, age group of 20–30 years working or studying in the Surat Municipal Institute of Medical Education and Research (SMIMER). Results: Out of 82 male subjects, 30 subjects were control and 52 subjects were CNG station workers. The study group comprised of 52 healthy non-smokers in the age group of 20–40 years working in different CNG station in Surat city for >6 months and 8 h/day. The control group comprised of 30 healthy non-smokers males between the age group of 20–30 years working or studying in the SMIMER. Conclusion: In this study, we have not found statistically significant deterioration in pulmonary functions of CNG pump workers when compared to controls.

RESUMEN

Objective of the study: The present study was carried out to assess muscular fitness in healthy Indian school children between 9 to 12 years of age (older pediatric age-group) using Kraus-Weber Tests. The aim was to compare the results of this study with similar studies that have been carried out in India, Europe and America previously. Methods: Kraus-Weber Tests don’t require sophisticated equipment and are much easier to administer than traditional tools for analyzing muscular fitness like Electromyogram (EMG). Earlier studies have proven these tests to be excellent screening devices not only for physical but also psychosocial incompetence. They can actually be used as indicators of overall health in this older pediatric age-group. Results: The present study found more number of fitness and flexibility failures as compared to the last such study in India. In stark contradistinction to previous studies, girls have fared poorly than boys on the fitness front.Conclusion: These findings could be attributed to increased stress in school children especially in female students. A sharp dip has been observed in muscular fitness just prior to puberty (most probably due to hormonal causes).

RESUMEN

An immunological classification of chronic gastritis based on the detection of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) antibody, parietal cell antibody, intrinsic factor antibody, is reported. H. pylori chronic gastritis, slowly progresses to atrophic gastritis, in the majority of patients; in a few patients, with genetic susceptibility to form intrinsic factor antibody, it progresses to pernicious anaemia. In majority of patients of pernicious anaemia, H. pylori gradually disappears from the gastric mucosa, on development of intestinal metaplasia in them. Atrophic gastritis results from H. pylori or non H. pylori. H. pylori infection is diagnosed in the presence of H. pylori in the gastric mucosal biopsy and/or H. pylori antibody (IgG) in the serum. The presence of the genetic factor (intrinsic factor antibody) is essential for the diagnosis of pernicious aneamia. Pernicious anaemia patients without intrinsic factor antibody, should be correctly diagnosed as atrophic gastritis, in view of the absence of the genetic factor (intrinsic factor antibody) in them.

RESUMEN

Amongst white population of developed countries, the prevalence of oesophageal adenocarcinoma has dramatically increased during the last four decades. During this period, the increased damage to the oesophageal mucosa with gastroesophageal reflux could result from increased acid output (due to absence of Helicobacter pylori in the gastric mucosa with excellent sanitation) and/or increased frequency of reflux due to an "epidemic" of overweight (65% of the population). The most important environmental factors, responsible for the fastest increasing cancer in humans, are discussed.

RESUMEN

Patients of chronic gastritis should be investigated with gastric mucosal biopsy, parietal cell antibody, intrinsic factor antibody, Helicobacter pylori antibody, urea breath test or faecal antigen test for Helicobacter pylori, to accurately classify them. The results of these tests will indicate Helicobacter pylori infection (present or past), the role of hereditary factor (intrinsic factor antibody present or absent) and the success or failure of Helicobacter pylori eradication treatment.

RESUMEN

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is often associated with fatty liver. Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) deficiency is one of the known causes of fatty liver and acquired ApoB deficiency has recently been reported with HCV infection. We report two patients (47-year-old lady and 48-year-old man) who had asymptomatic transaminase elevation, fatty liver, anti-HCV positive with high viral load (genotype 3). Their lipid profile showed low total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides and ApoB. One of the patients who received treatment for HCV infection showed improvement in lipid profile and ApoB levels.

RESUMEN

Helicobacter pylori is a unique organism which is pathogenic for stomach-duodenum (chronic gastritis, duodenal ulcer, gastric ulcer, gastric malignancy, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma) and protective for oesophagus (Barrett's oesophagus, oesophageal adenocarcinoma) at the same time in an individual. For prevention of diseases, the necessity of presence of some bacteria throughout the gastrointestinal lumen needs to be emphasized. The concept--only good Helicobacter pylori is a dead Helicobacter pylori, is dangerous and humans should learn to live in harmony with a few bacteria throughout the gastrointestinal tract.

RESUMEN

A 41-year-old woman, who was on flutamide for hair loss for 3 months, presented with deep jaundice. She developed hepatic encephalopathy but gradually recovered after discontinuing flutamide. Flutamide can cause fatal toxic liver injury and hence should be used with close monitoring of liver profile.
