Do low price fish, have high nutritional value?

The aim of this paper was to compare the nutritional value of some low price fish (Sardina pilchardus, Engraulis encrasicholus, Anguilla anguilla, Salmo trutta, Mugil chepalus) to high price fish with high consumption rate (Sparus aurata, Merluccius merluccius, Dicentrarchus labrax).In general, the commercial values of several fish species in Greece was not always related with the nutritional value (proteins, lipids and polyunsaturated fatty acids). Despite the price differences, total lipid content is higher in eel (Anguilla anguilla) and grey mullet (Mugil chephalus), compared to other species. Moreover, concerning unsaturated fatty acid content, there are significant differences in favour of grey mullet and sardine (Sardina pilchardus). Differences in favour of eel are also reported for cholesterol, as well as differences in energy content in favour of eel and grey mullet. Absorption index for all species was higher than 0.92. In conclusion, fish with very low price seem to have the same or higher nutritional and energy value, compared to highly priced fish.Includes research findings and presentation

Chromosomal microarray testing in adults with intellectual disability presenting with comorbid psychiatric disorders.

Chromosomal copy-number variations (CNVs) are a class of genetic variants highly implicated in the aetiology of neurodevelopmental disorders, including intellectual disabilities (ID), schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Yet the majority of adults with idiopathic ID presenting to psychiatric services have not been tested for CNVs. We undertook genome-wide chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) of 202 adults with idiopathic ID recruited from community and in-patient ID psychiatry services across England. CNV pathogenicity was assessed using standard clinical diagnostic methods and participants underwent comprehensive medical and psychiatric phenotyping. We found an 11% yield of likely pathogenic CNVs (22/202). CNVs at recurrent loci, including the 15q11-q13 and 16p11.2-p13.11 regions were most frequently observed. We observed an increased frequency of 16p11.2 duplications compared with those reported in single-disorder cohorts. CNVs were also identified in genes known to effect neurodevelopment, namely NRXN1 and GRIN2B. Furthermore deletions at 2q13, 12q21.2-21.31 and 19q13.32, and duplications at 4p16.3, 13q32.3-33.3 and Xq24-25 were observed. Routine CMA in ID psychiatry could uncover ~11% new genetic diagnoses with potential implications for patient management. We advocate greater consideration of CMA in the assessment of adults with idiopathic ID presenting to psychiatry services

Λοιμώξεις και κύηση αντιμετώπιση λοιμώξεων και υπερηχογραφικά χαρακτηριστικά

Οι λοιμώξεις κατά την διάρκεια της κύησης δημιουργούν ανησυχία τόσο στους επαγγελματίες υγείας όσο και στην έγκυο γυναίκα. Χρησιμοποιώντας το ακρώνυμο TORCH χωρίζουμε τις σημαντικότερες λοιμώξεις ανάλογα με τον αιτιολογικό παράγοντα (τοξόπλασμα, σύφιλη, παρβοïό Β12, ερυθρά, κυτταρομεγαλοïό, ιό του απλού έρπητα). Η επιδημιολογία των παραπάνω λοιμώξεων εξαρτάται από οικονομικά, γεωγραφικά χαρακτηριστικά και τον τρόπο ζωής της εγκύου. Η παθολογία του εμβρύου που αναπτύσσεται εξαρτάται από την εκάστοτε λοίμωξη και την χρονική στιγμή που αναπτύσσεται. Υπερηχογραφικοί δείκτες που μπορούμε να αναγνωρίσουμε κατά την διάρκεια του τακτικού ελέγχου του εμβρύου μας βοηθούν για την διάγνωση. Η συγκεκριμένη πτυχιακή εργασία έχει ως στόχο να παραθέσει και να αναλύσει τις σημαντικότερες λοιμώξεις κατά την διάρκεια της κύησης ( επιδημιολογία, διερεύνηση, διάγνωση, και διαχείριση).Infections in pregnancy are a concern to practitioners in the pregnancy, obstetricians, fetal medicine doctors, pediatricians and of course the pregnant woman. TORCH infections comprise toxoplasmosis, other infections (like syphilis, and parvovirus B19), rubella, cytomegalovirus (CMV) and herpes. The epidemiology of these infections varies and mainly depends on the income and the lifestyle. The pathology depends on the type of the infection and the age of the pregnancy. Sonographic markers of the fetal infection during the routine ultrasound scan can help us to diagnose the infection. This thesis has as a purpose to analyze the infections during the pregnancy (epidemiology, detection, fetal infection, and management)
