Ismail The objective of this study was to find out possible relationship between thyroid hormones and lipids profile levels in Elobeid city, North Kordofan State, during the period from March 2011 to March 2012. A total of 250 subjects were selected for this study. Out of 250 subjects, 150 were patients, Female to Male ratio was 2.75: 1.0 (100 patients were hyperthyroidism before treatment (new cases), 50 patients were currently under treatment (Evert hyperthyroidism) and 100 were apparently healthy individuals (ascertained as controls). Thyroid hormones were measured using ELISA technique. For cholesterol, triglycerides using enzymatic spectrophotometeric method and precipitation enzymatic method for HDL-C and LDL-C.T3 and T4 were significantly increased in new cases (3.9 ± 1.1 p-value <0.00) and (16.9 ±3.1 p-value <0.00) compared with control group (1.08 ± 0.4) and (8.07 ± 1.6) for T3 and T4, respectively.TSH was significantly reduced (0.05 ± 0.06 p-value <0.00) compared with control (2.6 ± 0.17). In patients under treatment T3, T4 and TSH were not altered in comparison with control p-value (0.272, 0.633 and 0.061), respectively. Lipids profile, the total Cholesterol, LDL-C and HDL-C were significantly decreased (107± 10.9 p-values <0.00, (46.6 ± 10.4 p-values <0.039), and (35.6 ± 3.3 p-values <0.00) in compression with control groups (154 ± 67), (52 ± 7.2) and (79.3±12.9) for lipds profile respectivly. There was negative correlation between the level of lipids profile and thyroid hormones level (T3 and T4) and positively correlated with the triglycerides. It was concluded that T3 and T4, as well as triglycerides, are elevated in hyperthyroidism, while cholesterol is decreased. article 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.sustech.edu/handle/123456789/16706 Differential Fertility in Sudan Elamin ,Mahjoub A.; Adil Musa Younis This study has been conducted in three selected areas in Sudan. The selected areas are broadly named the northern, the middle and the west of Sudan. In these three areas the investigated couples are 6085, 6685 and 5734, respectively totaling 18614 couples. The level of fertility in this study was measured by number of ever born children to one mother only. The average fertility levels of mothers in these three areas are [4.05+2.61], [4.46+2.78] and [4.51+2.66], respectively. The observed fertility level was significantly different. Thus it has been decided to use regression models of fertility on different socio-demographic variables observed in three different areas. Also, the fertility level of mothers was experiencing no child mortality [3.56+2.29]. The objectives of the analysis were to investigate the homogeneity of regression parameters in each case and also to investigate the homogeneity of regression lines. Different socio-demographic variables have differential impacts on fertility. The test of regression showed significant regional variations in the behavior of socio-demographic variables. There were 3076 child loss mothers and 15538 who have not loss any of their children. Differential behavior of socio-demographic variables of these two groups of mothers was also observed. article 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.sustech.edu/handle/123456789/16711 Assessment of Plasma Alpha Amylase Level in Sudanese with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Mahmoud,Gaafar Mahmoud Gaafar; Samia Mahadi Ahmed Diabetes is known to be caused by relative or absolute insufficiency of insulin secretion and/or concomitant resistance to the metabolic action of insulin on target tissues, then hyperglycemias is developed. Alpha amylases are enzymes which hydrolyze starch molecules to give diverse products including dextrins and progressively smaller polymers composed of glucose units which cause increase in blood glucose. Therefore a cross sectional study was conducted in Abdoon Seed Ahmed Polyclinic Centre in Khartoum during the period from April to June 2012 to assess plasma alpha amylase activity in Sudanese type 2 diabetic patients. Five milliliters of venous blood was collected from each of 40 females (mean age 40 years) and 30 males (mean age 51 years). Blood was separated into lithium heparin containers (3mls) for measurement of alpha amylase activity, glucose and renal function tests; and EDTA containers were used for measurement of HbA1C. Twenty five apparently healthy volunteers were included as control, 14 males (mean age 51 years) and 11 females (mean age 40 years). Alpha amylase activity was estimated by using direct substrate (CNP-G3). HbA1C was estimated by using full automated immunoflouresnt technique, and glucose was estimated by glucooxidase enzymatic method. Data were analyzed by SPSS computer program. There was insignificant increase in alpha amylase activity of test group compared to control group (P value > 0.05) and there was significant deference in study and control groups in fasting plasma glucose and HbA1C (P value <0.05). There was no significant difference between diabetic males and diabetic females regarding ? amylase, FBG, and HbA1c (P value > 0.05). It was found that there was positive correlation of alpha amylase with the duration of disease and age article 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z https://repository.sustech.edu/handle/123456789/16705 On The Development and Recent Work of Cayley Transforms [II] Hassan,Adam Abdalla Abbaker This paper deals with the recent work of Cayley transforms of the symmetric bounds unitary operators and the multidimensional and tuples of unbounded operators, and representation transforms. article 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z
