Purpose: This study sought to review the characteristics, strengths, weaknesses variants, applications areas and data types applied on various Dimension Reduction techniques. Methodology: The most commonly used databases employed search for papers were ScienceDirect, Scopus, Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore Mendeley. An integrative was where 341 reviewed. Results: linear techniques considered Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Linear Discriminant (LDA), Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), Latent...
Tobacco smoking is a public health issue and has been implicated in adverse reproductive outcomes including semen quality. Available data however provides conflicting findings. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect tobacco on quality among men Ghana. In study, total 140 subjects were recruited, comprising 95 smokers 45 non-smokers. Smokers further categorized into mild, moderate heavy smokers. Semen parameters such as sperm concentration, motility, viability normal...
Abstract Background Lipids and adipokines including leptin, resistin visfatin play various roles in the pathophysiology of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). This study was aimed at determining whether serum are significantly altered during first trimester pregnancies that subsequently develop GDM such changes useful predicting disease. Methods a case-case control which compared biochemical anthropometric parameters 70 pregnant women who developed without Volta Regional Hospital, Ho,...
Leptin levels start increasing from the early stages of pregnancy, irrespective maternal body mass index. are increased in pregnant women with preeclampsia (PE) and may precede clinical onset disease, peaks occurring around 28 weeks gestation. This study was aimed at determining whether serum leptin concentration fat percentage significantly altered during first trimester pregnancies that subsequently develop PE such changes useful predicting disease.This a prospective longitudinal conducted...
This study was aimed at evaluating effect of Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and maternal characteristics on pregnancy outcome. GDM has several risk factors including; advanced age, ethnic background, obesity family history mellitus. These complications are associated with fetal morbidity mortality may lead to macrosomia shoulder dystocia. Others stillbirth, miscarriages, preterm small for gestational age babies.This a retrospective case-case control which compared outcome among pregnant...
Background: Hormonal contraceptives (HCs) have been successfully used worldwide to prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation and implantation. These effects on lipid metabolism, body fat blood pressure which are all risk factors for cardio vascular disease (CVD). Some studies reported that prolonged use of these hormone-based negative effect cardiovascular indices, however, few such done in Ghana, hence this study sought examine the various forms indices Volta Region Ghana.Methods: Purposive...
Background and Objectives . The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing worldwide. MetS-affected individuals stand risk coronary heart disease, stroke, increased cardiovascular mortality while NAFLD results in advanced diseases, such as fibrosis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, if not diagnosed treated on time. This study aimed at determining MetS among premenopausal postmenopausal women Ho Municipality. Methods A...
This study aimed at determining diabetes status of homeless people in Nima and Agbogbloshie, Accra, Ghana to evaluate the association between socio-demographic characteristics prevalence.A total 130 slum dwellers took part out which 7 (5.4%) participants were diagnosed with while 13 (10%) considered as having prediabetes. is slightly lower than what had been reported two decades ago but similar overall estimates prevalence Africa (5.7%). Diagnosis normoglycemia, prediabetes was based on...
Abstract Background This study was aimed at determining the levels of serum adiponectin, leptin, resistin, visfatin and lipids during first trimester in pregnant women to evaluate relationship between these biochemical markers preeclampsia (PE). Available evidence point changes adipokines PE hence this examined potential using biomarkers prediction disease. Methods a case-control which compared anthropometric parameters who subsequently developed those did not. Blood pressure urine protein...
Zonulin has been implicated in many metabolic disorders including hypertension and obesity. However, there is insufficient information about the involvement of zonulin pregnancy induced (PIH) which comprises preeclampsia (PE) gestational (GH). This study was therefore aimed at finding level this biochemical marker regulation tight junctions among women with PIH.A total 88 PIH 60 age body mass index (BMI) matched healthy pregnant controls were enrolled. Blood pressure 11-13 weeks after 20...
Background: Some evidence has shown that the prevalence of hypoactive sexual desire and erectile dysfunction (ED) is associated with testosterone levels whilst higher have been reported to increase frequency intercourse. Available points towards an etiologic role for hypogonadism in causation diabetes, metabolic syndrome (Mets) (SD) even though exact pathophysiological linkage yet be fully elucidated. This study therefore sought evaluate impact as well its bioactive components on both MetS...
Abstract Background: This study was aimed at determining the levels of serum adipsin and lipids during first trimester in pregnant women to evaluate relationship between these biochemical markers preeclampsia (PE). Available data suggest that changes is linked development PE hence this examined potential using biomarker adiposity prediction disease. Methods: a prospective case-control which anthropometric parameters who later developed those did not. Urine protein blood pressure were...
chronic kidney disease is an important risk factor for cardiovascular-related morbidity and death. In Ghana, relatively little known about the prevalence of (CKD) in homeless slum dwellers major cities country. This study aimed at determining CKD among people Nima Agbogbloshie, Accra, to evaluate association between socio demographic characteristics CKD.we recorded information on individuals' socio-demographic anthropometric indices, took blood samples from a total 512 participants serum...
