Objective: To measure the changes in the cellular metabolism evaluated by the variability of oxygen consumption (VO2) and carbon dioxide production (VCO2) as well as the association of serum glucose and insulin to energy spectral density (ESD) of VO2 and VCO2. Materials and Methods: Ten non-glucose intolerant and ten glucose intolerant subjects between the ages of 21 and 70 were included in the study. Glucose and insulin levels, as well as VO2 and VCO2 levels, were measured every 10 minutes for 3 hours. The ESD of VO2 and VCO2 were calculated and related to glucose and insulin concentrations. Results: There was statistical significance in glucose levels, insulin, and ESD of VO2 and VCO2 among non-glucose intolerant subjects, and glucose and insulin among glucose intolerance subjects, at post-load glucose state compared to basal state. Furthermore, for both the basal and post-load glucose states, glucose levels were significantly higher in glucose intolerance subjects than in non-glucose intolerant subjects. Conclusions: These findings show an increase in ESD of VO2 and VCO2 at the post-load glucose state in non-glucose intolerant subjects, implying that their measurement may be a key indicator of the variability of cellular metabolic activity and contribute to the confirmation of glucose metabolism disturbances. More research is needed to understand the precise behaviour of ESD of VO2 and VCO2 in a larger population that includes diabetic subjects.

Injuries are the number one cause for morbidity and mortality among adolescents. Adolescent fractures are a hidden public health problem in Sri Lanka. Injury to upper limb will affect all the activities of the adolescent in this new era as risk factors of upper limb fractures are common with highly commercialized society. Prevention of adolescent injuries is an investment for the country as they belong to economically productive age group. To ease the burden on the state, attention should be given for prehospital care. Objective of the Study: The objective of the study was to describe the sociodemographic factors of adolescents with upper limb fractures in a district in Sri Lanka and associated prehospital care. Methods: A hospital based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 1090 newly diagnosed adolescents with upper limb fractures aged 10 to 19 years treated from higher-level hospitals in the district of Colombo. Descriptive statistics were used to describe sociodemographic details and the prehospital care methods. Results of the Sample: The mean age of the sample was 12.45 years (SD=2.59). The majority were males (n = 892; 81.8%). Adolescent’s residence (n=518, 47.5%) was the commonest place of injury. Most of the adolescents (n=855, 78.5%) sustained upper limb fractures following a fall. The majority used three-wheeler taxi as transportation method to reach the hospital (n= 687; 63%). Out of the participants, only 29.5% (n= 322, CI: 26.8-32.3) received any kind of prehospital care. Conclusion: Most of the adolescents had not received any kind of prehospital care and their transportation method to a health care setting was three-wheeler taxis. Adolescents belong to a productive age group and are in the transition period from childhood to adulthood, so conducting awareness programs among school children, their parents, and teachers will benefit the country.

Implantation failure persists as an important challenge in Human Reproduction. Besides, it is useful to avoid adds on for these patients without scientific evidence. The thrombophilic factors play a role in those situation, but the evidence remain uncertainly. Our researches suggest that protein C and anticardiolipin antibody are more frequently in infertile women. Investigation of acquired and inherited thrombophilia should be considered, particularly in recurrent implantation failure. However, prospective population studies are needed to confirm the data presented.
