Currently a valid place for vitamin D3 deficiency in Parkinson disease (PD) has been anticipated. The aim of present research was to evaluate insufficiency of D3 (vitamin) in subjects with PD (Parkinson’s disease). Many of physiological functions connected with higher risk of illness are maintained by vitamin D, which also plays significant task in pathogenesis of calcium homeostasis and skeletal ailments. It forecasts hazard of persistent ailments like malignancy, CVS conditions, and T2DM. Continuous insufficiency of this vitamin may lead to PD. Method: This was a cross sectional study. Conducted at People’s Medical College Hospital, Nawabshah during period of Jan. 2014-Dec. 2016, the sample size of 243 subjects clinically diagnosed as PD was enlisted. Inclusion criteria were all male and female subjects aged >50 years, clinically diagnosed Parkinson’s disease enlisted in research. Results: In 151 (62.1%) subjects, vitamin D3 levels were <30 ng/ml while in 92 (37.9%) subjects, vitamin D3 values were normal (30 - 150 ng/ml) (p = 0.000). Conclusion: Considerably low levels of vitamin D3 were seen in Parkinson’s disease. Our information sustains a legitimate part of vitamin D insufficiency in PD.展开更多

Here we will identify the different common risk factors for transmission of viral hepatitis C in our setup. Aim of study was to determine frequency of various risk factors in HCV positive patients. This study was cross sectional and conducted Department of Medicine PMC Hospital at Nawabshah. Duration of this study was one year from April 2016 to March 2017. After taking informed written consent, 243 diseased persons with positive anti Hepatitis C Antibodies were incorporated in this research. Frequency of variables i.e. Hepatitis C virus risk factors and different other demographic results was collected on preformed proforma. In total of 243 subjects there were 165 (67.9%) male and 78 (32.1%) females respectively. Most of the subjects have more than one risk factor. 19 (7.8%) had history of blood and blood products transfusion. IV drug abuse was detected in 08 (3.3%). Homosexuality and heterosexuality were observed in 14 (5.8%) and 12 (4.9%) subjects respectively. History of dental procedure was seen in 31 (12.8%). 228 (93.8%) had history of needle pricking in different ways. History of different surgical procedures was observed in 33 (13.8%). Calculated Mean and Standard Deviation for age was 39.2 ± 10.3 years. It was concluded that proper implementation of precautionary measures should be carried out for every human being to reduce burden of HCV illness in far near future.展开更多
