Aim: The assessment of serum electrolytes at the time of initial presentation of the patient with respiratory tract infection possibly causing lung parenchyma and pulmonary vasculature damage and serial monitoring during the stay could be beneficial in order to determine when and how to take remedial action when necessary. Methodology: A non-probability sampling was done on 139 subjects with suspected respiratory tract infection. For confirmation, culture, MTB PCR, COVID-19 testing was done to diagnose the nature of infection. Serum electrolytes were tested on chemical analyses Alinity instrument. Results: Most common infections found were COVID-19 and bacterial (n=59) collectively in a co-morbid state. Mycobacterium tuberculosis and fungal infections were also found in (n=8) each. Electrolytes imbalance was markedly observed in high prevalence amongst Tuberculosis and COVID-19 patients but also showed significant association with other respiratory investigated infections. Conclusion: A robust association of electrolyte imbalance was found in all cases presented with upper or lower respiratory tract infections.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered main dangerous feature for the expansion of cardiac metabolic and coronary disorders. Chronic Heart failure along conserved ejection fraction (EF %) were distinguished by the dysfunction of left ventricle diastolic phase (LVDD). Aim: Aim of subjects with elevated serum cortisol or hydrocortisone level establish with Cushing’s syndrome has to be related with the progression of the LVDD. Methodology: We select 42 patients Diagnosed with (DM) and 40 subjects with no DM. Which was underwent echocardiography assessment at multiple hospitals of Lahore within two years of duration. The functions of left ventricle were estimate and the percentage of before time diastolic rate from inflow to trans-mitral before time diastolic rate be considered while guide for diastolic purpose. Concentration of serum cortisol in Plasma, glucose levels, serum fasting cholesterol and triglyceride levels, along by means of anti glycemic medications plus additional scientific distinctiveness was estimated, as well as along its relationship among E/A was resolute by means of only one variable and multiple variable analysis. Results: Multiple variable linear regression study illustrate that log of E/A were confidently associated by age factor (P=0.018), blood pressure systolic phase (P=0.003) and hydrocortisone (P=0.037), in subjects of diabetes mellitus. Multiple variable analysis illustrate that hydrocortisone were completely associated by means of age (P=0.016) and glycated hemoglobin (P=0.011). Therefore no relationship found among E/A and serum hydrocortisone levels in control subjects. Conclusion: Raised levels of hydrocortisone concentration might elevate the possibility of rising in subjects of diabetes mellitus. Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, left ventricle diastolic function, serum hydrocortis
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
