It means a patient infected with M.tuberculosis but the patient does not have active tuberculosis. Treatment of latent Tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is the most effective Strategy to prevent future cases of disease (1). Most cases of childhood tuberculosis disease in low prevalence countries are Prevented by screening for risk factors ,testing for LTBI and offering therapy (2,3). Regimens for LTBI have been evaluated and used for over 6 decades and concerns about low completion rates (4) ,costs (5) and increasing rates of drug resistance (6) have prompted research on short course LTBI regimens of 3 months in all these regimens and reviewed after 12 months.
Research article ANTENATAL THYROID DYSFUNCTION IN RAYALASEEMA REGION: A PRELIMINARY CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY BASED ON CIRCULATING SERUM THYROTROPIN LEVELS

Sub normal function of thyroid gland in first trimester of pregnancy leads to miscarriages, stillborn and anomalies of central nervous system in foetus. The environmental factors that will effect thyroid gland functioning are deficit soil iodine, high fluoridation of water and low dietary iodine intake. Rayalaseema is endemic for iodine and most of the communities are suffering from high fluoride levels of water. Therefore study was designed to estimate prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in pregnant women of Rayalaseema region. Materials and Methods: 139 first trimester pregnant women randomly selected from Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of Santhiram medical college and General Hospital, Nandyal during the period from April 2013 to June 2013 in respect of inclusion and exclusion criteria. And fasting blood samples of the participants were analyzed for T3, T4 and TSH. Based on the TSH level...

The recent scientific evidences have shown that if you do not detect and treat the metabolic syndrome patients at an early stage, it may proceed to cardiovascular disease. A scientific data on pattern of metabolic syndrome components of a population is very essential to formulate the preventive and treatment modalities among them. Aim: To explore the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components among Kurnool district population of Andhra Pradesh with different ethnic background. Method: A total of 1032 (344 subjects in each group) participants of 20-60 years of age group were analyzed for MetS. A modified NCEP ATP III criterion was applied for this. From each group 20 subjects were analyzed for fasting serum insulin and HOMA-IR randomly. Results: Overall prevalence of metabolic syndrome was found to 31.97%. It was almost equally prevalent among men (32.82%) and women (30.87%). Urban population (42.15%) were found to be highly inflicted by metabolic syndrome than rural (31.97%) and tribal (21.80%). Decreased HDL (78.87%) followed by increased waist circumference (57.84%) and hypertriglyceridemia (31.78%) were found to be the preceding risk factors of Mets in all the groups. The lipid estimates were not in correlation with insulin resistance (by HOMA IR) in rural population. Tribal women were found to be having a slightly higher mean waist circumference (86.45cm) compared to rural women (85.87cm). The behavioural cardiovascular risk factors like smoking alcohol consumption decreased circadian physical activity were high in rural and tribal population compared to urban population. Whereas other physiological cardiovascular risk factors like family history of hypertension and diabetes of rural population were in concordance to urban population. Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome prevalence is very high in Kurnool district population. Mets components are highly prevalent among the individuals with low WC (Waist Circumference) and BMI (Body Mass Index). This warrants the need to implement preventive strategies for Mets among the population of Kurnool district. The future projects has to be formulated with an aim to find out the genetic factors behind this scenario.

However, less literature is available on success rate. Aim and objectives: To evaluate the success rate of endoscopic DCR. After 3 months DCR success rate was estimated based on relief perceived by the patient, free flow of saline on syringing through the lower canaliculus and presence of patent stoma visualized on rigid endoscopy. Materials and methods: 25 Epiphora patients underwent anterior rhinoscopy, nasal endoscopy, syringing, CT scan and DCR. They were evaluated for the relief of symptoms at 2 week and 3 month respectively. Results: Mostly 76% females with mean age (females:54.4/Males:59) were present. Symptoms: watering of eyes (100%), swelling (92%) and mucopurulent discharge (68%). Disease on the right side- 40% and left side -56% only 4% were with bilateral disease. On follow up after 3months 96% patients reported symptomatic ...

Diagnosis of GDM has always been with problems related to differing diagnostic criteria with conflicting evidence regarding the maternal and fetal outcomes. Pregnant women belonging to a high risk ethnic population like Indians require Universal Screening. Out of a wide variety of national and international guidelines the pioneering Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group India (DIPSI) guideline for the screening and diagnosis of GDM has set new standards for quality diabetes care in India and around the world. DIPSI criterion requires estimation of plasma glucose in one blood sample to diagnose GDM. This cost-effective and evidence-based procedure meets our responsibility of offering “a single-step definitive glucose test” to every pregnant woman belonging to any socio-economic status.
Cystatin-C as a Biomarker in Predicting Early Renal Impairment in Normo-Albuminuric Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Type 2 diabetic patients (n = 239) with Normoalbuminuria (n = 110), Microalbuminuria (n = 81) and Macroalbuminuria (n = 48) were enrolled. Creatinine, urinary albumin levels, serum cystatin C and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR by MDRD [Modification of Diet in Renal Disease] were determined. The cystatin C levels of serum increased with increasing degree of albuminuria, reaching higher levels in macroalbuminuric patients (P < 0.001). The correlation between serum cystatin C and albumincreatine ratio were analyzed. The serum cystatin levels were directly correlated with albuminuria(r =0.387, p< 0.0001).The serum cystatin C levels were negatively correlate with eGFR (r = 0.364, p<0.0001). In multiple regression analysis, serum cysta...

Total 50 (16 female; 34 male) obese subjects aged between age ranges between 29 to 62 years old were analyzed for metabolic syndrome parameters and spot urine microalbumin levels. 14 subjects who are having high urine micro albumin levels and urine samples which give positive (+) for dip stick were excluded from this study. Among the 36 obese subjects 25 subjects are having at least one other metabolic syndrome risk factor along with increased waist circumference considered as metabolically unhealthy (MUHO) and 11 subjects were considered as metabolically healthy (MHO). High (55.87±16.78) micro albumin levels noted in obese group. Very high levels of urine microalbumin noted among metabolically unhealthy obese (107.52±56.54). It was 13.98±5.34 among the metabolically healthy obese group. The mean ur...
