Pregnancy and insulin sensitivity in relation to Exercise training (A scoping review)
No full textAbstract: This study is aimed to estimate the relation of exercise training on insulin sensitivity and pregnancy. Twenty females at the second trimester of pregnancy participated in this study. Their age was 20 to 40 years with BMI less than 35 km2. They divided into two equal group. The study group (A) performed exercise program for four weeks, 3 sessions per week. While the control group maintain their daily life activity routine. There was a significance difference in the mean value of insulin sensitivity level in group A and there was a significance difference in the mean value between groups in favoring to group (A). So, it could be concluded that exercise training is an effective method on insulin sensitivity during pregnancy.

Insulin sensitivity and plasma glucose response to aerobic exercise in pregnant women at risk for gestational diabetes mellitus
No full textBackground: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the common complications that occur during pregnancy. Early intervention is essential to prevent the development of the disease in the non-pregnant state but also helpful in preventing the occurrence of GDM. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of aerobic exercises on insulin sensitivity and fasting plasma glucose level in pregnant women with risk for gestational diabetes mellitus.Materials and methods: Forty multigravidae women between 20-24 weeks of gestation with risk for GDM were randomly selected (age range was 25-35 years), body mass index ranged from 30-35 kg/m². Women were divided into two equal groups: intervention group (A), which followed an aerobic exercise program in the form of walking on treadmill, three times weekly until the end of 37 weeks of gestation in addition to diet control. Control group (B) which received diet control with usual care given by obstetricians and midwives. Evaluation of the women in both groups was carried out before and after treatment program through assessment of fasting blood glucose and insulin levels.Results: There was a highly statistically significance decrease in fasting blood glucose level, fasting insulin level in both groups where the p value was 0.0001 favoring group (A).Conclusion: Moderate intensity of aerobic exercises were effective in reducing fasting blood glucose level and fasting insulin level in pregnant women with risk for gestational diabetes mellitus.Keywords: Aerobic exercise, Blood glucose level, Insulin level, Pregnancy, Maternal diabete

A Sequential Statistical Approach towards an Optimized Production of a Broad Spectrum Bacteriocin Substance from a Soil Bacterium Bacillus sp. YAS 1 Strain
No full textBacteriocins, ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides, display potential applications in agriculture, medicine, and industry. The present study highlights integral statistical optimization and partial characterization of a bacteriocin substance from a soil bacterium taxonomically affiliated as Bacillus sp. YAS 1 after biochemical and molecular identifications. A sequential statistical approach (Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken) was employed to optimize bacteriocin (BAC YAS 1) production. Using optimal levels of three key determinants (yeast extract (0.48% (w/v), incubation time (62 hrs), and agitation speed (207 rpm)) in peptone yeast beef based production medium resulted in 1.6-fold enhancement in BAC YAS 1 level (470 AU/mL arbitrary units against Erwinia amylovora). BAC YAS 1 showed activity over a wide range of pH (1–13) and temperature (45–80°C). A wide spectrum antimicrobial activity of BAC YAS 1 against the human pathogens (Clostridium perfringens, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Campylobacter jejuni, Enterobacter aerogenes, Enterococcus sp., Proteus sp., Klebsiella sp., and Salmonella typhimurium), the plant pathogen (E. amylovora), and the food spoiler (Listeria innocua) was demonstrated. On top and above, BAC YAS 1 showed no antimicrobial activity towards lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus bulgaricus, L. casei, L. lactis, and L. reuteri). Promising characteristics of BAC YAS 1 prompt its commercialization for efficient utilization in several industries
EFFECT OF STABILIZING EXERCISES AND ACUPUNCTURE ON POSTPARTUM SACROILIAC PAIN IN EGYPTIAN FEMALES: A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL
No full textBackground: Postpartum sacroiliac joint pain, is a serious problem for the mother, affect the ability to perform daily activities and minimize health-related quality of life. This study aimed to determine the effect of stabilizing exercises and acupuncture on postpartum sacroiliac pain.
Methods: Forty multiparous women with sacroiliac joint pain (SIJP), were included, aged 25 to 35 years, BMI not exceed 30kg/m², parity less than 3 times, and delivered normally, they're assigned into two equal groups. Group (A) performed stabilizing exercises for lumbo-pelvic muscles and acupuncture. Group (B) received only acupuncture, were performed three times per week for two months (24sessions). The assessment throughout the present pain intensity (PPi) and the Oswestery disability questionnaire before and after the treatment.
Results: It revealed a significant decrease in the PPi scores and a significant improvement in functional disability in both groups (A,B). Group (A) showed a significant decrease in the PPi scores and significant improvement in functional disability with percentage of improvement was 75%% & 62.5% respectively more than in the group (B) the percentage of improvement was 40% & 46.7% respectively.
Conclusion: These results indicate that the lumbo- pelvic stabilizing exercises in conjunction with acupuncture were effective adjunct methods in alleviating postpartum sacroiliac joint pain
Prognostic significance of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio in patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma before and after receiving first-line chemotherapy
No full textINTRODUCTION: Despite the presence of a prognostic risk stratification sco-ring system for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), the lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) is a simple and low-cost test that has been investigated as a prognostic marker to evaluate the clinical course and survival outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We prospectively enrolled 92 patients with classical HL (CHL), who were diagnosed and treated in the period from April 2017 to April 2020. Lymphocyte monocyte ratio cut-off values were estimated using receiver operating characteristic curves. RESULTS: We found that patients with LMR 1.4. Patients with increased LMR values after the first 2 cycles of chemotherapy had better PFS and OS; meanwhile, patients who had low LMR after the end of chemotherapy had poorer PFS and OS in comparison to patients who gained higher value after the completion of all cycles of chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: A rise of LMR value indicated better outcome and better survival rate, so it can be an independent prognostic factor for survival and to predict outcome in patients with CHL
