The current study involves the genotyping of rs1137101 variant of the leptin receptor gene in obese and non-obese subjects, and the measurement of anthropometric and biochemical parameters to find any association of this genetic variant with obesity and related anthropometric and metabolic traits.

Since mucinous endometrial carcinoma is a rare disease, the parameters related to the extent of the disease should be clarified. CA-19.9 is an important marker for mucinous pathologies, and it should also be evaluated for mucinous endometrial cancers.

Although thyroid gland dysfunction (TD), secondary to interferon treatment in patients with chronic viral hepatitis B and C (CHB-C), may develop in a substantial proportion, most of these are temporary and do not require TD treatment. Independent risk factors in TD development were found to be gender and age.

Metals are central to hold the bioactivity of numerous enzymes and proteins on which life is based. Several previously published studies demonstrated the functions of transition and trace elements Fe, Zn, Mg, Cu, Mn and Cr in insulin action and carbohydrate metabolism. This study aimed to assess the interrelationship of some selected metals such as Mg, Zn, Cu, Cr, Mn, Pb, Ni and Fe in urines of T2D patients versus non-diabetic subjects. The findings of this study could provide a way to explore urinary metal-based marker(s) for disease pathogenesis and progression.

This study provides data on the knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of pre-clinical, undergraduate dental and medical students on pregnancy and oral health. The data emphasises the need to educate all preclinical students on dental health and pregnancy correlations.
