Item Diagnostic Significance of Uric Acid, C Reactive Protein, Magnesium in Acute Myocardial Infarction(International Society for Contemporary Medical Research, 2019-11) Mani, C (Mandava) Radha; Sekhar, Avapati Raja; A, Surya Kanth; Chandra, T JayaIntroduction: Study was undertaken to note the levels of highsensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), serum uric acid, serummagnesium levels in acute myocardial infarction (MI).Material and methods: This study was conducted in GSLMedical College, study was approved by institutional ethicalcommittee. Participants were recruited by folloing inclusionand exclusion criteria. After getting detailed history ofpatient’s blood samples were taken for hemoglobin, bloodurea, serum creatinine, uric acid, serum electrolytes, hs CRP,serum uric acid, serum Magnesium. All the participants weresubjected to ECG and ECHO cardiography. Fischer’s exactChi square test was to find statistical analysis, P<0.05 wasconsidered as statistically significant.Results: Of the 100 study participants, 39% participants’hs CRP levels were ≤3mg/dl; statistically the differencewas significant. When serum ureic acid considered, 46%patients with uric acid levels were ≤7mg/dl 66% participants’magnesium levels were > 1.4mg/dl; The difference wasstatistically significant.Conclusion: The above findings showed a positive correlationof elevated hs CRP and uric acid; and low magnesium withvarious risk factors of MI.Item Same day sputum smear microscopy approach for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in a microscopy centre at Rajahmundry.(2012-07) Chandra, T JayaBackground: Sputum smear microscopy is the initial and rapid diagnostic technique for tuberculosis. This requires two (spot and morning SM) sputum sample examinations over two days. Collection of two spot samples (SS2) on the same day would reduce the number of visits, time, money and early initiation of treatment. Methods: We evaluated same day approach (SS2) against standard (SM) for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Results: Out of 658 participants, same day approach could identify 62 cases, whereas standard approach could identify 64 cases. Both the approaches are equally effective (p>0.05). Conclusion: The diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis is possible in one day by examining two spot samples.
