The aim of the present investigation was to find out significant differences “Anthropometric Measurements”, among different playing positions university level volleyball players. Measurements were collected (N=163) from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar (N1=57), Punjabi Patiala (N2=39), Panjab Chandigarh (N3=37) and I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University Jalandhar (N4=30) with reference posi...

BACKGROUND: Animal breeds are often recognized through their specific characteristics, nevertheless, the breeds' anatomical and biochemical characteristics have not considered yet in many of the researches done on one-humped camels. There are some particular differences in camel breeds due to different climate conditions and rearing necessity. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the current study was to com...

Tracings of the respiration were made with a spiromefer of the Benedict-Roth type to which a flowmeter was attached. Oxygen was supplied continuously through this flowmeter at the same rate at which it disappeared from the spirometer. The tracings were thus kept horizontal. After quiet breathing had been recorded for some minutes the subject was asked,to inhale and exhale fully, and the vital c...

background: soy milk replacement in the diet may have beneficial effects on anthropometric and blood pressure values in overweight and obese individuals. therefore, in this study the effects of soy milk replacements on the weight, waist circumference and blood pressure are examined among overweight and obese youth females. methods: this was a cross-over randomized clinical trial on 23 overweigh...

Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is a chemokine produced by macrophages and other cell types, including epithelial cells, and its receptor is CXCR2. IL-8 plays an important role in the initiation and amplification of inflammatory diseases, including opportunistic infections. With the advent of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, opportunistic infections have become ma...

The heavier seen for male babies at full-term compared to females, in singleton twins, later-born first baby. Low-weight are mothers lower socioeconomic status. In urban group closest correlation with neonatal calf circumference. Aim: present study was conducted per...

INTRODUCTION Body weight measurement is of critical importance when evaluating the nutritional status of patients entering a hospital. In some situations, such as the case of patients who are bedridden or in wheelchairs, these measurements cannot be obtained using standardized methods. We have designed and validated a formula for predicting body weight. OBJECTIVES To design and validate a for...

BACKGROUND Many medical procedures routinely use body weight as a parameter for calculation. However, these measurements are not always available. In addition, the commonly used visual estimation has had high error rates. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a predictive equation for body weight using body circumferences. METHODS A prospective study was performed in healthy volunte...

UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to clarify whether common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) gene (rs1801282) and the Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-γ Coactivator-1 (PGC-1α) gene (rs8192673) are associated with obesity indexes (BMI, waist circumference) in subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Caucasian...
