“…According to the previous researchers, the prevalence of the communicable diseases, various risk factors demonstrated various different patterns among various degrees of socio-economic Inequalities (Hosseinpoor et al, 2012). It is more or less similar to the above study (Ghaffar et al, 2004;R and Sethu, 2018;Renuka and Sethu, 2015).…”

Coronavirus, also called as COVID-19, a pandemic disease that causes a widespread concern about the economic hardships for both the consumers and businessman communities that are present across the globe. As the coronavirus unfolds, the global economic market melts down, which is caused by this pandemic disease, pushes the wealthy. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the awareness level of global wealth due to covid 19. A self-designed survey study was conducted among 100 individuals of the general population. The questionnaire was designed in the manner to assess their knowledge about the impact of COVID-19 on global wealth. The questionnaire contains a set of 15 questions. It was distributed through the google docs. The results and data from this study was using SPSS software. The responses recorded in the present study from the survey participant depicts that the participants possess adequate knowledge about the COVID-19 infection and equally they possess an adequate awareness about the impact caused globally due to COVID-19. The results of the present study shows that 71.03% of the participants are aware about the pandemic outbreak COVID-19 and among them 57.94% participants believes that the pandemic outbreak COVID-19 resulted in a global impact on various industries. Within the limitations of the present study, awareness and knowledge among the survey population about the impact of COVID-19 on global wealth is and from the result of the descriptive analysis carried out in the present study, it is evident that majority of the population are aware of the impact caused on the global wealth due to the pneumonia associated with the global pandemic outbreak, COVID-19.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a chronic disease and a global health problem, affecting one-third of the world’s population. Recently it has been found that the traditional risk factors of CAD do not account for the total risk. One of the novel risk markers of CAD is Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), which inhibits the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS), which is required for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), a potent vasodilator. Increased ADMA level causes decrease in NO level which will lead to endothelial dysfunction, an underlying causative mechanism for CAD development. ADMA is found to be an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Therefore ADMA may become an additional biochemical parameter to identify those patients who are at higher risk for developing CAD, besides the traditional parameters used. To study the association between serum ADMA level with coronary artery disease.The study design is a case-control study. 80 subjects from the south Indian population between 30 to 60 years of age, of both the sexes were included in the study. Out of them, 40 individuals were angiographically proven cases of CAD from the department of cardiology and 40 healthy individuals from the master health check up department. Various parameters like lipid profile, serum ADMA, blood pressure and BMI were measured in both the groups. The data were collected and analyzed.The ADMA level was found to be significantly elevated in the case group compared with the age matched healthy controls (p value < 0.05).There is a positive correlation between serum ADMA level and coronary artery disease.

“…Acute ST elevation myocardial infarction is one of the most common cardiovascular disease found all over the world [12]. In South Asian countries the frequency of high TIMI score in patients with acute myocardial infarction was high as illustrated in many previous studies and mortality rate is accounted 10 to 20% in those patients who had increase TIMI risk score [13][14][15]. Many of studies was conducted aimed to examine the frequency of high TIMI score in acute myocardial infarct patients.…”

Objective: To determine the complications associated to High TIMI risk score among patients presented with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction. Study Design: Cross sectional Place & Duration: Study was conducted at Cardiac Centre of Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Islamabadfor duration of 6 months from January to June, 2020. Methods: Total 290 patients of both genders with ages 35 to 80 years presented with acute myocardial infarction were included in this study. Patients detailed medical history including age, sex and residence were recorded. Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score was calculated for each patient. Follow up was taken during the hospital stay and after discharge. Complications were recorded on follow-up. Data was analyzed by SPSS 21.0. Results: From all the patients high TIMI score was found in 34.48% patients. Out of 100 patients 70% were male and 30% were females with mean age 54.25+12.65 years. According to the high TIMI score 100 (34.48%) patients had score above 8 and 190 (65.52%) had score less than 8. Complications were recorded ad Ventricular fibrillation, VT, AF, Heart block, cardiogenic shock and pulmonary edema in 17%, 13%, 2%, 7%, 24% and 24% patients respectively.15% patients were died during hospital stay. 28% patients had post infarct angina, 9% patients had stroke and 28% patients treated revascularization. Conclusion: We concluded from this study that frequency of high TIMI score is high in our setting and we patients with increase score had high risk of complications and mortality. Keywords: High Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction, Acute ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, Frequency, Complications, Mortality.
