Résumé
The basic aim is to assess immunization pattern of children up to 15 months of age. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 immunized children in Children hospital Lahore, Pakistan. Single dose 0.05ml to 0.1ml of BCG was recommended at the time of birth. Three doses of 0.5ml of Pneumococcal vaccine was given, coupled with the Penta-valent vaccine was given at 6 week, 10 week and 14 weeks of age. Two doses 0.5ml of measles vaccine was given at 9 and 15 months. Respondent's sex, age and the vaccinated children against diseases were analyzed in the form of percentages and frequency tables through statistical analysis in the software called SPSS version 16.0. Female children immunization against various diseases was less in number. The results concluded that by informing community about the problem of ailment and the real significance of vaccinations, we are able to maintain and develop greater immunization coverage and as a result, more lives of children were saved
Résumé
Objective: to determine the serum Asymmetric dimethyl arginine [ADMA] level, association of various biochemical parameters with plasma ADMA level in type 2 diabetic patients and also to compare with normal healthy individuals
Methodology: analytical cross sectional study was conducted at Medical and Cardiology Departments of Khyber Teaching Hospital [KTH] and Hayatabad Medical Complex [HMC], Peshawar for a period of one year. A total of 140 participants with age range of 35-65 years, were divided into two groups. Blood was obtained from each participant for biochemical analysis. All data obtained was entered in SPSS version 15. A P-value of < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant
Results: an elevated ADMA was noted group B. In group A significant positive correlation was observed between serum ADMA with TC and TG level and a non-significant correlation was observed between ADMA and HDL level. In case of group B a significant strong positive linear relationship was seen between ADMA level and different parameters like FBG, HbA1c, LDL and no significant correlation was seen between ADMA with TG and TC
Conclusion: our study reveals increased serum ADMA levels in the patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus without CAD when compared with the control group. Also a significant positive correlation was seen between serum ADMA level and FBS, HbA1c, TC, HDL-C and TG levels among the subjects of group B
