Background: Trauma is the leading cause of death among productive age men and continue to be the cause of years of valuable life lost compared with cancer, heart disease, and stroke in combination. Thoracoabdominal trauma has great contribution to mortality of patient due to its anatomical position, contain vital body organs, the most body impact, and oftenly without any skin injury. Early prognosis evaluation of multitrauma patient is difficult. Clinical parameters which reflect patient’s actual condition is required. Procalcitonin (PCT) has a very low level among healty individuals. PCT is known to be reliable biomarker in septic and infection cases dan has accuracy and clinical value to determine diagnosis of sepsis among critically ill patients. PCT as biomarker of SIRS in thoracoabdominal trauma and morbidity caused by SIRS has never been observed. Materials and Methods: The prospective research was done in 4 months. Blood sampels were taken twice. First was taken within 24 hours after trauma. The latter was taken 72 hours after trauma. Inclusion and exclusion criterias were included. Confounding factors were also considered. Results: 53 subjects were collected, 46 male and 7 female. 3 patients were dropped out because they died before the third day. Among 50 subjects, 25 subjects suffered from SIRS with 5 deaths, and 25 subjects were free from SIRS. Patients suffered from SIRS were included in statistical analysis. The results were mean value of PCT level in the first day was 11.178± SD 11.568, which was significantly increased in the third day 13.998 ± SD 14.496 with t value of -4.012, with level of significancy 0.001. The mean PCT level of deceased patients from the first day was 25.98 ± SD 13.47 which was significantly increased in the third day 25.98 ± SD 16.74, with t value of -4.119, with level of significancy 0.05. Pearson correlation test towards increasing levef of PCT and SIRS revealed rcounting was 0.708 with level of significancy 0.000, which means that, the more increasing level of PCT, the chance of SIRS event will also increasing. Conclusion: PCT levels obtained during research reflect high level of inflammation over patients. The higher level of PCT level was associated with the amount of pro inflammatory cytokines relased by the body. This amount of cytokines revealed the extensive tissue damage resulted from trauma. The increasing level of PCT on the third day showed the extension of tissue damage resulted from trauma, which effected in the increasing release of pro inflammatory cytokines. It was concluded that blunt thoracoabdominal trauma patients suffered from SIRS, had increasing level of PCT.

Dental impressions often carry microorganisms that may cause cross infection from patients to dental staff. The control of cross infection is an imperative issue when dealing with dental impression materials in Dentistry and the lack of procedures for its control is currently a real problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effectiveness of 0,5% sodium hypochlorite and 2% glutaraldehyde immersion of alginate.Thirty edentulous patients were selected for the present study. Maxillary ridge impressions were taken out in 30 patients with alginate and was randomly divided into two groups containing 15 impressions each group, each impression was swabbed and incubated on nutrient agar culture media. This constituted the control group. Group A impressions were immersed in 0.5% sodium hypochlorite and group B impressions were immersed in 2%glutaraldehyde. All impressions received the similar disinfectant treatment. After 10 minutes the impressions were reswabbed and incubated for 24 hours and microbial colony count was carried out. It was observed that 2% glutaraldehydeis more efficient in reducing the number of bacterial colony count compared to 0.5% sodium hypochlorite.2% glutaraldehyde eliminated 46.74% of bacteria colony count while 0.5% sodium hypochlorite eliminated 43.33% of bacteria colony count. Dental impression materials can act as vectors transmitting a significant amount of microorganisms. It was concluded that 0.5% sodium hypochlorite and 2% glutaraldehyde was stistically equally effective in reducing the number of bacterial colony count. 2% glutaraldehyde was found to be marginally more effective than 0.5% sodium hypochlorite on alginate impressions.

Copy number changes, also called chromosome gains or losses in the DNA content, have drawn recent attention in advancement of cancer research. Array CGH (Comparative Genomic Hybridization) is a molecular-cytogenetic method for genomewide screening for such loss and gain regions referring to genetic alterations. In this article, we present a simple but very effective method to uncover the locations of copy number changes through the use of modified maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) devised with some threshold approach. Implementations to simulated data having autocorrelation structure as well as to real CGH array confirm the excellent performance of this procedure.

The study “postprandial hypertriglyceridemia as a risk factor for macro vascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus” was a case control study conducted on patients visiting the out patient department of Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai. Sixty eight patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 22 healthy controls were included in the study. Selected patients and controls underwent clinical and biochemical evaluation including blood sugar, lipid profile and cardiac function to detect the presence of macro vascular complications of diabetes. Selected patients and subjects were subjected to a high fat meal and plasma triglycerides were measured two and four hours after fat challenge. It was observed that post load hypertriglyceridemia correlated better than fasting triglycerides in patients with macro vascular complications. It was also observed that persistent postprandial hypertriglyceridemia was observed in diabetic patients with complications.

Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) may have frequent episodes of abdominal pain and/or fever of uncertain cause. While many of these episodes represent the possibility of complications; Computed tomography (CT) was used to evaluate 67 Saudi Arabian patients with SCD .In 67 of the patients; the liver was affected in 59 patients, lungs in 56 patients, kidneys in 55 and gall bladder in 22 patients and pancreas in 5 cases. Spleen abnormalities were found to be Splenomegaly, cyst, abscess, infarction, Splenomegaly with cyst and Splenomegaly with abscess where the patient’s age and SC type were considered. Hepatic abnormalities including focal necrosis, Hepatomegaly, abscess, cyst; infarction as well; Cholelithiasis, gall stones and dilated common bile duct and acute pancreatitis were also considered as an important manifestation of SCD. Renal abnormalities were found to be papillary necrosis, renal abscess, Stones with hydronephrosis, renal vein thrombosis, renal failure and renal infarction. Lungs CT manifestations were found to be pleural effusion, pneumonia, atelectasis, ground glass nodules, consolidation, fibrosis, Lung abscess. The episodes were increased by increasing of the children age at different SCD. Computed tomography (CT) has been shown to be an excellent modality for efficient and multisystemic evaluation of the abdomen and chest in these patients.
