Background: Poly cystic ovary syndrome is a common disorder in women of reproductive age, it is associated with disturbance of reproductive, endocrine and metabolic functions. The pathophysiology of PCOS appears to be multifactorial and polygenic. Leptin seems to play an important role in pathophysiology of PCOS especially in women with BMI ≥25kg/m2. Objectives: To assess leptin level in both PCOS and healthy women and explore the relation to their body weight and body mass index. Patient and Methods: A total of 120 women were enrolled in this study, 60 women (50%) had PCOS (study group) and the reminder 60 women (50%) were healthy women and considered as control group. BMI was calculated first. Both groups were further subdivided into two groups; BMI of ≥25kg/m2 and BMI of <25kg/m2. Pelvic U/S scan was done to confirm the diagnosis. Hormonal profile (FSH, LH, LH/FSH, testosterone, TSH, T4 and prolactin) were measured. RBS was measured. Serum leptin level was measured in patient with PCOS and the control by Enzyme linked immunesorbant assay (ELISA) test. Correlations between leptin levels and age, Wt, Ht, BMI, and serum hormone levels (FSH, LH, testosterone and prolactin) were studied. Results: Mean serum leptin levels were not significantly higher in patients with PCOS compared to the control group (P =0.052). Leptin levels were found to be higher significantly in the overweight subgroups both in patients with PCOS and in the control women. Leptin levels were found to be higher in over weight patients with PCOS compared to over weight control P value =0.0001. Serum leptin levels were significantly correlated with BMI in both patient with PCOS and control group (r=0.918 and r=0.846) respectively. Serum leptin concentration had a positive correlation with serum LH concentration in PCOS group (r=0.327). Leptin levels had strong positive correlation with serum LH, FSH, and testosterone in over weight PCOS subgroup women and (r=0.592, 0.609 and 0.604) respectively. Conclusion: Leptin levels are higher in patient with PCOS compared to control groups. Leptin levels were correlated with the amount of fatty tissue not only in PCOS group but also in healthy women. Leptin play an important role in pathophysiology of PCOS of women with BMI ≥25 kg/m2.
Abstract
The leases, are regarded as one of the most controversial accounting issues in recent years, since they represents one of the important sources of funding, which may be exploited by the tenant as off- Balance sheet Financing , which negatively affects the quality of financial reporting. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) have "significant" interest in accounting for leases . FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 13 on lease contracts in 1976 and IASB issued IAS 17 in 1980, which was amended in 1997 and IFRS 16, issued in January 2016, which will be effective on January 1, 2019 , to solve

A prey-predator model involving infectious disease with refuge for prey population only, the (SI_) infectious disease is transmitted directly, within the prey species from external sources of the environment as well as, through direct contact between susceptible and infected individuals. Linear type of incidence rate is used to describe the transmission of infectious disease. While Holling type II of functional responses are adopted to describe the predation process of the susceptible and infected predator respectively. This model is represented mathematically by
Growth is a multifactorial process influenced by genetic, nutritional, hormonal, psychosocial and other factors including the general health of a child. Epilepsy defined as a chronic condition characterized by recurrent clinical events or epileptic seizures, which occur in the absence of a metabolic or toxic disease the drugs that use in the treatment of this condition can affect patients growth due to their mechanisms of action. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of some antiepileptic drugs on growth (height and weight) in children with epilepsy. This work involved 51 newly diagnosed children with a different form of epilepsy (Generalized, absent and partial). Patients divided into three groups according to the treatment (group one

A dose of ten grams of the roots and leaves of Nettle (Urtica dioica) dissolved in (200)ml of boiled water then covered for (10)min. was given to a sample of (15) patients attending to the herbal department of ministry of health complaining of malnutrition and low Hb(hemoglobin) concentration and PCV(packed cell volume) levels with absence of any other predisposing factors disease inorder to find the effects of these roots and leaves on Hb and PCV levels for different periods of time in relation to age and sex variations . The study have shown that this mixture has a high significant effect (p<0.001) in elevating (Hb) concentration and PCV levels on those patients according to the differences recorded from the start of the basic period unt

Background: Smoking is the major environmental risk factor that has been associated with the pathogenesis and progression of periodontal diseases. Interleukin-8 (IL-8), has been associated with the immunopathology of periodontitis. Objectives: To determine the influence of smoking on salivary Interleukin-8 level from smokers and non-smokers with periodontitis and periodontally healthy control subjects.
Materials and Methods: Un-stimulated saliva samples were collected of 90 participants: 30 smokers and 30 non-smokers with chronic periodontitis, as well as 30 periodontally healthy control subjects. The clinical parameters such as the pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, plaque index, and gingiv
