Study the polymorphism in UCSNP43, 44 to exon 3 of Calpain-10 gene of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome women in Thi Qar Province

The correlation between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was reported regarding T2DM genes, which contribute in the pathogenesis of PCOS. The current study was aimed to investigate the association of CAPN-10 gene UCSNP-43, UCSNP-44 polymorphism with PCOS.Thirty women with PCOS and 20 healthy, which are matched in their age, were selected to test the anthropometric and biochemical profile of our samples. Nucleic acid of samples was extracted and genotype analysis was done.  The results of patients-hormonal analysis were indicated that the level of follicle stimulating hormone was low and the levels of other hormones were high in comparison to that of healthy women. Biomass (BMI) and lipid profiles of PCOS patients were higher than from these in healthy women. Haplotypes of sequenced samples were determined for each gene fragment. The same three haplotypes of SNPs-43 were identified in both PCOS and controls samples. On the other hand, high diversity of haplotypes was found from SNPs-44. The meta-analysis with fixed and random effects odds ratio (ORs) on the basis of haplotypes frequencies were presented

Detection of genetic variants in HLA-DQA1 Gene with thyrotoxicosis patients in Thi- Qar city

This study was conducted to describe the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) within the exon 2 of HLA-DQA1, a gene that encodes a MHC class II antigenthat localized in the surface of many immune cells and they play a central role in the immune system by presenting peptides derived from extracellular proteins, as well asto analyze the consequences of non-synonymous SNPs in this gene using several in silicobioinformatics tools in the patients with Hyper thyrotoxicosis Blood samples were collected, DNA was extracted, and one pair of specific PCR primers was designed to amplify exon 2 of thisgene. PCR experiments were optimized and performed,and PCR products were purified and sequenced from both termini. Sequencing results were analyzed, and each observed nsSNP was further analyzed by several computational tools. Out of six observed SNPs, five of them were non-synonymous. It was found that the deleterious effect of these non-synonymous SNPs wasvaried, and the most damaging mutation was V68F followed by K92N. While the T49S and I99M have a mild parallel effect.However, no clear association was revealed between the observed SNPs of HLA-DQA1 gene and the progression of the Hyper thyrotoxicosis disease. Therefore, the associative pattern of this genetic variation with Hyper thyrotoxicosis disease should be interpreted with caution.

Global economic burden of unmet surgical need for appendicitis

Background There is a substantial gap in provision of adequate surgical care in many low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to identify the economic burden of unmet surgical need for the common condition of appendicitis. Methods Data on the incidence of appendicitis from 170 countries and two different approaches were used to estimate numbers of patients who do not receive surgery: as a fixed proportion of the total unmet surgical need per country (approach 1); and based on country income status (approach 2). Indirect costs with current levels of access and local quality, and those if quality were at the standards of high-income countries, were estimated. A human capital approach was applied, focusing on the economic burden resulting from premature death and absenteeism. Results Excess mortality was 4185 per 100 000 cases of appendicitis using approach 1 and 3448 per 100 000 using approach 2. The economic burden of continuing current levels of access and local quality was US $92 492 million using approach 1 and$73 141 million using approach 2. The economic burden of not providing surgical care to the standards of high-income countries was $95 004 million using approach 1 and$75 666 million using approach 2. The largest share of these costs resulted from premature death (97.7 per cent) and lack of access (97.0 per cent) in contrast to lack of quality. Conclusion For a comparatively non-complex emergency condition such as appendicitis, increasing access to care should be prioritized. Although improving quality of care should not be neglected, increasing provision of care at current standards could reduce societal costs substantially
