Recently, epidemiological studies on the etiology of peripheral neuropathies have revealed that hyperlipidemia is a novel risk factor. Plasma lipid levels were confirmed to be associated with the incidence of many peripheral neuropathies including axonal distal polyneuropathy, vision and hearing loss, motor nerve system lesions and sympathetic nerve system dysfunction. Moreover, different lipid...

A study of nephrotic syndrome in pediatric patients admitted in Gandhi and Niloufer hospital, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, is presented here with special emphasis on serum protein levels and lipid profile. Out of the total cases, more than half were males with onset before 5 years of age. A definite significant inverse correlation existed between T. protein & triglycerides; albumin & triglyceride...

Pulp stones signify the calcification of discrete origin seen in pulp tissues and are either embedded or attached to dentin. can be a pathological physiological entity. The pathogenesis stone formation is idiopathic. However, various theories have been proposed. frequency range 8% 90%. They more identified on histopathologic examination than radiographic assessment. present study aimed assess c...

Obesity continues to be a growing public health problem. According to the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 17 percent of persons two to 19 years of age are overweight. The number of obese children and adolescents has tripled in the past 20 years. Obesity in adults is associated with cardiovascular risk factors including hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes. The gr...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness measured by ultrasonography (US) and serum lipid profile and liver transaminases in obese children. METHODS One hundred and sixty-six children diagnosed with obesity from May 2001 to December 2013 were included in this study. Data on serum lipid profile and liver transaminases were colle...

In children, exercise modulates systemic anabolism, muscle growth, and overall physiological development through the growth hormone (GH)-insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) axis. GH secretion, at rest and during exercise, changes with age and maturational status and can be blunted by hyperlipidemia and obesity, with possible negative effects on physiological growth. However, little is known ab...

GLYCOGEN storage diseases (GSD) are inherited disorders in which the amount and/or structure of glycogen in body tissues are abnormal. GSD I (von Gierke disease) is caused by a deficiency of glucose 6-phosphatase activity in the liver, kidney, and intestinal mucosa with glycogen overloading in these organs. The clinical manifestations are seizures, systemic acidosis, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricem...

Hyperlipidemia is a condition which comprises several acquired and genetic disorders that cause elevated lipid levels in the body. The lipids may further lead to various health complications such as arteriosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular peripheral vascular diseases. A 41-year-old male, non-alcoholic, non-smoking, vegetarian, self-employed patient reported with chronic abnorm...

The development of the remnant like particle (RLP) method for conveniently measuring serum remnant lipoprotein levels in 1993 promoted much research on atherogenic significance and metabolism of remnant lipoproteins. This research brought about many results as the following. A novel apolipoprotein B48 receptor incorporating remnant lipoproteins into macrophages in arterial wall was discovered a...
