Previous attempts have been made to determine the role of maternal serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) in the pathophysiology of pre-eclampsia. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between maternal serum free β-hCG and the development of pre-eclampsia as well as to evaluate its utility as a predictive test for pre-eclampsia. This was a prospective cross-sectional study carried out in the antenatal clinic of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital Sokoto, Nigeria. A total of 200 pregnant women who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were recruited between 14-20 weeks of gestation. However, only 188 of them were completely followed up till delivery. A pretested questionnaire was used to obtain data of the subjects. Their blood samples were taken under aseptic technique for quantitative free β-hcg estimation using the ELISA technique. The subjects were then followed up till delivery and observed for development of pre-eclampsia. Correlation between serum free β-hCG concentration and blood pressure was studied while a logistic regression was used to determine a prediction model for pre-eclampsia. The result showed that there was statistically significant positive correlation between the maternal serum free β-hCG concentration with the mean systolic blood pressure (r= 0.432, p= 0.000) and mean diastolic blood pressure (r= 0.364, p= 0.000), among women with pre-eclampsia. The logistic regression model was statistically significant (Wald (X2) = 26.13, P= 0.000). Using a Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC), the sensitivity and specificity of free β-hCG as a diagnostic test in pre-eclampsia was 61.1% and 96.5% respectively with cutoff point of 282.3mIU/ml. The study concluded that elevation of maternal serum free β-hCG in early second trimester is a useful indicator to identify women who are likely to develop pre-eclampsia in the same pregnancy

Objective: This preliminary study aims (1) at validating the use of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II
(APACHE II) scoring system in cardiac patients admitted to the intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU) for prediction of the
risk for mortality, (2) to evaluate the use of a modified APACHE II (mAPACHE II) with addition of the scores related to
urinary levels of oxidative stress parameters in prediction of the risk for mortality. Design: Hospital based prospective
study. Setting: Tertiary care hospital in South India. Methods: Cardiac patients (n=100) admitted to the intensive cardiac
care unit between the age of 18-77 years were enrolled. APACHE II score was calculated. The predicted mortality was
calculated on the basis of this score. Urinary malondialdehyde (MDA) and ceruloplasmin (Cp) levels were analyzed and
mAPACHE II was calculated. Results: The mean APACHE score was 11 ± 4.14. The ICCU mortality rate within 24
hours after admission was 8%. The area under the receiver operating curve (ROC) for APACHE II score was found to be
0.8 indicating good discrimination and for mAPACHE II score was 0.7 indicating moderate discrimination. Conclusion:
APACHE II scoring system has a good discrimination when applied to cardiac patients. However, mAPACHE II also
shows moderate discrimination when applied to these patients.

Background: The aim of this study is to identify the profile of patients being referred for cytogenetic analysis in the
medical genetics and oncogenetics unit of FEZ Hassan II University Hospital, to determine the prevalence and type of
chromosomal abnormalities in the different groups and to compare the results with those of similar studies done in other
countries. Materials and Methods: We examined the analysis of 1,200 cases referred to the medical genetics and
oncogenetics unit of FEZ, between September 2009 and June 2014. They were grouped according to the indications of
the cytogenetic study. Frequencies of the different numerical and structural abnormalities were calculated. The relative
frequency of cases with abnormal karyotypes was also determined in each group. Results and Discussion: 70,4% cases
were referred from pediatric department and 54,4% are aged under 5 years old. Cytogenetic testing was essentially
requested for Dysmorphism (25,6%), Mental Retardation (16%), Down syndrome (14%), girls’ growth retardation
(13,8%) and for recurrent miscarriage (12,6%). Of the 1200 cases studied, 79% had a normal karyotype and 21% had
chromosomal abnormalities. The most common chromosomal abnormality was trisomy 21 (11,7%) followed by Turner
syndrome (2,1%) and Klinefelter syndrome (1,5%). Conclusion: This study compares the results of cytogenetic analysis
of chromosomal abnormalities in the north Moroccan population with other studies and research centers. This
comparison will help Moroccan clinicians to determine the priority for requesting a cytogenetic analysis in individual

Objective of The Study: To assess C-peptide levels in Cord Blood of Infants born to Diabetic Mothers (GDM and type 2 DM mothers) and to find it’s correlation with the anthropometric measures of the new born. Materials and Methods: The study sample comprised 40 babies born to GDM mothers and 20 babies born to type 2 DM mothers. Controls consist of 30 babies born to non-diabetic mothers .Instituitional ethics committee approval was obtained. Anthropometric measures of the newborn including gestational age, birth weight, ponderal index, length of the babies and head circumference were measured. 10 ml of Cord blood was collected and cord serum was separated and stored at -200C until further analysis. C-peptide levels in the cord serum was measured by ELISA. Result: Significant increase was observed in the serum C-peptide levels in infants born to GDM and type 2 DM mothers. Birthweight, head circumference and other anthropometric measures were also found to be significantly increased in the infants of diabetic mothers and they showed a strong correlation with C-peptide levels. Conclusion: When the mother has type 2 diabetes / gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), fetal hyperinsulinemia is common despite treatment of disease. This effect is more pronounced in those women with Type 2 DM. This maternal diabetic environment could be a contributing factor for the infants to develop obesity and abnormal glucose tolerance later in life. Therapeutic targets should be aimed at controlling the fetal hyperinsulinemia of GDM which could prevent the development of diabetes in the future.

10.21276/sjbr.2019.4.5.7
The intention of present study was to evaluate any relation between nitrite in urine and watching horror movies. Over-all
100 subjects participated in this project. Nitrates and nitrites are the nitrogen comprising compounds. The variance is
only in their structures. They are existing naturally in some vegetables, for example, green vegetable, celery and cabbage.
The urine containing nitrates is considered as normal but existence of nitrites leads to urinary tract infection (UTI).
Injurious bacteria live in kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. They induce nitrates into nitrites by the support of their
enzymes. These are the cause of nitrites in urine that is perilous medical condition. The symptoms usually confronted
during this problem are cloudy urine, smelling urine, blood in the urine, burning urination and increased urgency of
urination. As we consider horror movies, the first thing that derives to mind is horror, fear or terror. Such movies even
can congeal your blood. The impact of horror movies depends upon the person. Some people take pleasure watching
these movies and some feel uncomfortable. But mostly people are ignorant about the effects of such scary movies. Some
theories depict the positive impacts of such films and some make known their negative prospects. It was determined from
the present study that watching horror movies had not really influenced people for having nitrites in their urine. A very
few exhibited the positive results of nitrites in the urine which exposed non-significant relation between urine nitrites and
watching horror movies.

10.36348/sjbms.2019.v04i05.008
The relationship between color psychology and consumer behavior is at the centre of most marketing activities in the business environment. Empirical and theoretical literature asserts that color psychology is instrumental in determining the effectiveness of marketing activities, particularly when properly integrated in the organization’s manufacturing and distribution strategies. There are different interpretations of color as determined by consumers’ beliefs, culture, and attitudes. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between color psychology and consumer buying behavior within the apparel market. The apparel market was chosen due its distinctive cultural dynamics and consumer psychological beliefs compared to other markets. There has been an increase in consumer buying behavior variations across the globe as a result of varying interpretations of marketing mix elements. The article submits that color psychology is one of the main features that determine consumer behavior in the apparel market. Data was collected through secondary sources such as journals, articles, and empirical sources such as existing researches regarding color psychology, consumer behavior regarding product color, and cultural perceptions on color within the apparel industry. Color psychology plays a bigger role in effecting emotional and intellectual influence among consumers. Color perception and color psychology affects people’s behavior in such a way that the symbolism of the colors resonates with people’s perceptions, hence linking it with information from their cultures. Through the color perception of different cultures, the research concluded that using a color that is associated with something negative will negatively affect the customers’ retrieval cues, therefore repelling them from purchasing the product or service.

The general objective was to evaluate the in vitro activity on Salmonella enterica of typhi stereotype of plant drugs used
in the treatment of typhoid fever. The crop drugs harvested were processed and dried for three weeks. After maceration in
ethanol, the crude extracts were concentrated using a rotary evaporator and a phytochemical screening was carried out.
The antimicrobial activity of the ethanolic extracts was evaluated in vitro on Salmonella enterica of typhi stereotype, by
the method of microdilution in liquid medium on microplates of 96 wells in U bottom. Seven possibilities were offered
for this evaluation in the microplates: three first (E1, E2 and E3) concerned the isolated extracts and the four others (E1 +
E2 + E3, E1 + E2, E1 + E3 and E2 + E3) combinated extracts. The observation of the turbidity of the microplate liquid
media after 24 h of incubation allowed the determination of the minimal inhibitory concentrations (CMI) and the seeding
of the wells on solid media HEKTOEN and EM allowed the determination of the minimal bactericid concentrations
(CMB). Characterization of the different groups of secondary metabolites in isolated ethanolic extracts revealed the
presence of phenols, steroids, triterpenes, coumarins and alkaloids. Isolated extract of Costus afer showed a very low
CMI and CMB with values of 0.07 and 0.15 mg/mL and was more active on Salmonella enteric typhi stereotype than the
other two isolated extracts. Combination of Costus afer and Annickia chlorantha (E1 + E3) stems showed low CMI and
CMB with values of 0.15 mg/mL and were more active on S. enterica of typhi stereotype. The combinated extracts
showed CMB values between 0.15 and 0.60 mg/mL versus 0.15 and 1.25 mg/mL for the isolated extracts. Analysis of
CMI and CMB has shown that combinated extracts have more effective antibacterial activities than isolated extracts
because of the positive interactions between bioactive contents involved, and should be considered in in vivo
pharmacological activities in rats.
