Abstract:Objective Pentavalent vaccine has been introduced in Pakistan against tetanus, diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae type B (HiB), pertussis, and hepatitis B virus.
Methods This study was designed to determine protection against diphtheria, tetanus, and HiB in children of age 18 to 24 months from community which had received all three doses of pentavalent vaccine.
Results Overall, 97% were having immunity against HiB, 97% against tetanus, and 88% against diphtheria. Our study showed that child… Show more
“…Controversially to previous reports, our results suggested that association among FM, FFM, F %, and ALP is not sufficient. Similar to our findings, a study revealed no direct relation of vitamin D deficiency with ALP (15), and another study also pointed out Vitamin D concentrations were not related to ALP in drug-naïve individuals without liver disease (25). Besides, there was also no significant cross-sectional association between 25(OH)D and bone turnover markers (26).…”

“…A metaanalytic study revealed a correlation between obesity and vitamin D deficiency is stronger in the Asian population than in the European-American population. Furthermore, it is also related to skin color, clothing style, regional differences (14)(15)(16). A Turkish study showed that vitamin D levels were low in 66.6% of women of reproductive age in Istanbul (17) and it was 93% in the entire female population (18).…”
Background: Many epidemiologic studies suggested that vitamin D deficiency is associated with obesity but the relationship between obesity and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is controversial. In this study association between insulin resistance and alkaline phosphatase is investigated.Methods: Of the 124 women aged (35,942±9,714) years with (39,47±7,66) body mass index (BMI) and with vitamin D deficiency is included. The relationship among insulin, glucose, parathormone (PTH), calcium (Ca), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were evaulated with correlation, linear regression and ANOVA (with post hoc TUKEY). Statistical analysis performed with Eviews v.11 and Graphpad Prism v.8.1Results: There was no significant correlation among Vitamin D, ALP and PTH in non-insulin resistance patients. A weak correlation was found among Vitamin D, ALP and Parathormone in insulin resistance group. There was no significant elevation between ALP levels in patients with or without insulin resistance.
Conclusion:Elevation in ALP levels is not associated with insulin resistance. It might be a response to elevated parathormone levels. Further investigations in large populations are required to understand the relationship between insulin resistance and ALP.

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.
