A DIAGNOSTIC MARKER FOR ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME USING MEAN PLATELET VOLUME (MPV): A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY

Accurate diagnostic indicators are required for prompt intervention in cases of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), a global health concern. Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), sometimes disregarded in standard blood testing, has showed promise in assessing atherothrombosis risk and platelet function. In order to determine whether MPV may be used as a diagnostic tool in ACS, this study looked at how cardiac Troponin I levels related to MPV. Methods: 96 patients were divided into two groups of 48 ACS cases and 48 non-ACS cases for an 18-month descriptive cross-sectional observational study. Statistical analyses were run to assess the connections between MPV and a number of other factors. Results: Patients with ACS reported substantially higher MPV levels compared to those without ACS. Troponin I level had a positive association between them and MPV (p less than 0.0001), indicating that it could be a helpful prognostic marker. In ACS patients with ST-elevation and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, there were no discernible MPV changes (p = 0.3). Conclusion: This study demonstrates a strong correlation between MPV and ACS. Combining MPV with established markers could improve ACS diagnoses because it is affordable and simple to measure. When MPV is incorporated into diagnostic protocols, there is a good opportunity for early ACS identification and intervention, which lowers the rates of morbidity and mortality that are related to it

Association Between Mean Platelet Volume and Cardiac Troponin I in Patients with Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Diagnostic Efficiency Study

Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a serious illness that demands prompt diagnosis. Although it may have certain drawbacks, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) has changed the diagnosis of ACS. A routine component of complete blood counts, mean platelet volume (MPV), has shown promise as a biomarker for cardiovascular disorders. The purpose of this study was to determine if MPV and cTnI levels correlate in patients who have been admitted with suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to assess the effectiveness of MPV as a diagnostic tool for ACS. Methods: A 500 patient prospective cohort study with probable ACS was carried out. MPV and cTnI levels were evaluated, and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy. Analyses of subgroups based on clinical and demographic traits were been out. Results: cTnI levels and MPV showed a substantial positive connection. The best MPV cutoff value, according to ROC analysis, is 9.5 fL, which has a good level of discriminatory power (AUC = 0.75). varied patient categories may have varied MPV-cTnI associations, according to subgroup analyses. Conclusion: MPV has potential as a supplementary diagnostic tool in ACS. Its potential clinical utility is highlighted by its relationship to cTnI levels and diagnostic precision. Validating these results and exploring the clinical ramifications of include MPV in ACS diagnosis and management require additional study.Keywords: Mean Platelet Volume, Cardiac Troponin I, Acute Coronary Syndrome, Diagnostic Efficiency, Biomarker

Breeding and cultural practices of chile peppers, Capsicum SPP

This study evaluated horticultural characteristics and development of improved cultivars with valueded traits for capsicum breeding selection. A total of 223 accessions belonging to six Capsicum spp. viz; Capsicum annuum, Capsicum baccatum, Capsicum frutescens, Capsicum chinense, Capsicum annum var. glabriuscum, and Capsicum chacoense were used in this study. Plant genetic resource unit of USDA/ARS, Griffin Georgia, provided the accessions. Before anthesis, the flowers on selected female parents were emasculated to enable crossertilization with pollen from selected male parents. This study showed that wide crossing incompatibilities could limit successful crosses between species. In 2004, seven progeny lines and twentyive parent lines were evaluated at Alcorn State University for horticultural characteristics and development of improved cultivars with valueded traits. The F1 progeny had early maturity, higher yields, and appeared to be adapted to Mississippi environment. Results indicated that C. annum yields were higher than yield of other species. Yield of Capsicum chinense was the second highest. Based on horticultural evaluation of seven progeny lines and twenty five-parent lines, three F2 genotypes, C. annum (Ca15xCa8), Ca88 and C. baccatum (Cb24xCb7) were selected for detailed cultural evaluations in field trials in 2005. The genotypes were grown under three cultural practice regimes as follows: 1) Date of planting with three planting dates. 2) Plant spacing trial comprising of three spacing configurations, and 3) mulching with four mulch treatments. Fruit yield was similar in all three genotypes at first and second dates of planting, but declined considerably at the third planting date for the two progenies. Planting Chile pepper in April or May in Mississippi, could be optimum for maximum yield. The genotype Ca15xCa8 had consistently high yield and may be adapted to Mississippi, followed by Ca88. Yield of all genotypes increased with increasing spacing from medium (90 m2 x .30 m2) to wider (1.20 m2 x.45 m2). At narrow spacing, plant yield was generally lower, but yield per unit area was higher, whereas, at wider spacing, yield per plant was higher but yield per unit area was lower. Regardless of genotypes, yield was highest with plastic mulch. Among genotypes, progeny Ca15xCa8 gave consistently higher yields in all mulch treatments followed by Ca88 genotype

A Case Report of Acute Severe Necrotizing Pancreatitis following the Johnson & Johnson Vaccine against the Novel SARS-CoV-2

Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition, which is a leading gastrointestinal cause of hospitalization in the United States. Several conditions are associated with acute pancreatitis. More recently, there have been a few cases reported of acute pancreatitis following the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. To our knowledge, no cases of acute pancreatitis have been yet reported following the Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine (J& J vaccine). Herein we report a 34-year-old male with no significant past medical history admitted with acute necrotizing pancreatitis, the day following the receipt of the J&J vaccine. Based on the Naranjo and the modified Naranjo scale, the patient met the requirements for probable drug induced pancreatitis. This case report has the objective to raise awareness of a potentially severe side effect of the J&J vaccine. We hope to use this case to support screening all patients for previous history of acute pancreatitis before administration of the J& J vaccine
