Objectives: To evaluate and compare blood glucose levels and lipid profile in diabetic vs healthy adults. Methodology: This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted from January 2021 to April 2021. The study samples were collected from Northwest General Hospital Peshawar. Sixty patients with diagnosed type 2 diabetes and an equal number of control subjects were included in this study. After the recruitment of subjects according to the inclusion criteria, subjects were divided into two cohorts; Patients with Diabetes (Group I N=60) and a Non-Diabetic Control Group (Control group N=60). Blood from the subjects was checked for glucose levels and lipid profile. Blood was taken and analysed at the Hospital Lab via Cobas 6000 analyser. Data was analysed using SPSS version 26.0 for MacBook Pro. T test was applied to the data and p value was kept at 0.05 for significance. Results: Fasting Blood Glucose (FBS) rise was statistically significant (p=0.03) with a mean and standard deviation (SD) of 161.21±46.31* for Group I and 79.29±18.56 for Group II with a Mean Difference (MD) of 81.92.
Objectives: To evaluate and compare the Biochemical/Haematological parameters in healthy (pregnant subjects) vs preeclamptic females. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional study was planned/conducted at IBMS KMU Peshawar and the data was collected from the Dept. of Gynaecology & Obstetrics-Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar, from June 2019 to July 2020. One hundred thirty-eight pregnant subjects between the gestational ages of 26-30 weeks were included in the study. The subjects were divided into two cohorts; Patients with preeclampsia (Group I N=92) and a Normotensive Control Group; women with normal pregnancy (Control group N=46). Blood from the subjects was checked for Haemoglobin (Hb) and Platelet (PLT) levels and Body Mass Index (BMI) among other parameters. Blood was taken and analysed at the Hospital Lab via Cobas 6000 analyser. Data was analysed using SPSS version 26.0 for MacBook Pro. Results: Body mass index of PE group was significantly higher compared to normal group (p<0.001). Similarly, mean platelet counts and hemoglobin in PE group was lower as compared to normo-tensive group and the differences were statistically significant (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in mean gestational age (weeks) between the two groups (27.83 ± 0.95 vs 27.78 ± 1.07, p= 0.33) was observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
