A cross-sectional study design was conducted to investigate the relationship between serum vitamin D status and CMD risk (obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia) among 302 apparently healthy adults, aged 25 to 59 and of northern decent in Ghana. Biochemical analysis was done to determine serum total cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TG), High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) and serum vitamin D levels of participants. Anthropometric assessment was also done and BMI, WC, HC, Blood Pressure, WHR, Body Fat (BF) and visceral fat percentages were obtained. Analysis was done using SPSS (version 25). We evaluated CMD risk factors to predict vitamin D status using binary and multiple linear logistics regre...

Therefore, present study aims to determine frequency of atrial fibrillation and its associated complications. Place and duration of study: This cross sectional study was conducted at Department of Medicine, at SKBZ/AK CMH Muzaffarabad (Tertiary Care Hospital Muzaffarabad AJK) from July to December, 2019. Methodology: Total 1100 patients included for this study through non-probability consecutive sampling. Ethical approval and consent forms were taken. Patients were examined for atrial fibrillation through ECG. The patients who were confirmed as AF were detail examined and their cause and complications were noted down. Data was analyzed with SPSS version 24. One sample t test was used to predict AF in the population Chi-square test was applied. P value ≤0.05 was considered significant. Results: Out of 1100 patients mean age of patients was 43.4±12.7 years. The male to female ratio was 11:10. The atrial f...

The question of interest is to find out if there is a change in mean weight gain by children under five year over time and if the factors (age, feeding type, feeding practice gender etc) influence those changes. The data was collected from 210 children put into three groups of ages 0-6 months, 7-12 months and 13-18 months on monthly bases for a total of 1260 observations. Three feeding types: exclusive breast feeding, breast feeding with introduction of plumpy nut food supplement and completely complementary feeding. Univariate ANOVA and multivariate MANOVA techniques were use to analyzed the data. Both random effect and fixed effect models shown to be better for the data. Age, feeding type and feeding practices were the factors that did not support the null hypothes...

In the case of the analytic modeling, this paper discusses a simple continuous model for the spread of Domestic Violence, using Ordinary Differential Equations. A mathematical model is inspired from the spread of Domestic Violence in Tamale Metropolitan in which the interaction of the widespread is likely to be minimized. A modeling technique Abusive, Susceptible and Violence Victims (ASV), similar to the Susceptible, Infectious and Recovered (SIR) model in Epidemics, is used for formulating the spread of Domestic Violence as a system of Differential Equations. Hence the population of three distinct classes- the Abusive, Susceptible/Unreported Victims, and the Reported Victims, are considered in the model. The system of Differential Equations is analyzed by linearization of nonlinear systems and non-dimensionlization, and to predict the behavior of the spread of the Domestic Violence. Finally, in the case of ...

Several biased estimation techniques have been developed to tackle the problem of multicollinearity. In this study, we proposed a new estimator based on prior information and the modified ridge-type estimator by Lukman et al. (2019). It includes the modified ridge-type (MRT) estimator, ridge estimator (RRE) and the ordinary least square estimator (OLSE) as special cases. We established the superiority of this new estimator (MRTP) over others using the mean squared error criterion. Finally, the superiority of the MRTP estimator was confirmed through a simulation study and its application to real-life data.

Due to their anatomical location in the pelvis, malignant ovarian transformations often evade early detection, reaching astronomical proportions before eliciting clinically obvious symptoms. Epithelial ovarian carcinomas encompass a concoction of tumours derived from the ovarian surface epithelium, and are further subdivided into several subtypes ascertained primarily through histopathological workup. Of these subtypes, endometrioid ovarian carcinoma is noted to be a particularly well-differentiated tumour that often presents early in the disease course. Contrarily, advanced-stage tumours manifest a vague constellation of symptoms, such as abdominal distension and bloating, resulting in dilatory tumour detection. We hereby delineate an interesting case of a high-grade ovarian endometrioid carcinoma that, due to its vague presenting symptoms and a concomitant history of amenorrhea, was erroneously regar...

Women are now four times more likely to have caesarean birth than 30 years ago. Caesarean section (CS) is a life saving procedure in cases of obstructed labour, maternal distress and fetal distress. Many countries have high rates of caeserean sections which exceeded the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended 5% -15%, thus putting a lot of burden on the health expenditures of government. The study utilized the Ghana Demographic Health Survey (GDHS) -2013 data set. The logistic model was used in the analysis of the data due to the outcome variables which are binary. Interestingly, mother’s level of education is also positively associated with caeserean delivery. Also, it was observed that highly educated mothers prefer caeserean delivery with odds ratio of about 1.24 times. The study recommends that government policies on education should ensure compulsory attainment of h...

Four liquid media namely brain heart infusion broth (BHI), trypticase soy broth (TSB), Mueller Hinton Broth (MHB) and Gonococci broth (GC) with added supplements (1% hemoglobin, 1% Isovitalex) were used. The growth was measured by colony counting (CFU/ml) using serial dilution. Four of the isolates showed the highest growth rate with the average of 10 13 CFU/ml on BHI broth while TSB had the second highest growth of more than 10 10 CFU/ml in an 18hour culture at 37 oC culture. In the next step, the amount of capsular polysaccharide (CPS-b) antigen which is made of Polyribosyl ribitol phosphate (PRP) was assessed all isolates by two methods: modified Indirect Sandwich Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Bial method to select the isolate producing the highest amount of PRP. The antisera used in sandwich ELISA were prepared...

Various methods exist in literatures to handle this problem. Among them is the most widely used ridge regression estimator which depends on the ridge parameter. This estimator can be subdivided into either generalized ridge or ordinary ridge estimators. Variance inflation factor is introduced to replace eigenvalue in the generalized ridge estimator proposed by Lawless and Wang (1976). Through this modification some new generalized ridge parameters are proposed and investigated via simulation study. The performances of these proposed estimators are compared with the existing ones using mean square error. Results show that the proposed estimators perform better than the existing ones. It is evident that increasing the level of multicollinearity and number of regressors has positive effect on the MSE. Also, the performance of the estima...
