Background:Diabetes is an important public health problem and leading cause of cardiovascular problems its early detection and good glycemic control can reduce the complications associated with the disease.Objective: This was a prospective study planned to evaluate the relationship of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and lipid profile in type II diabetic Punjabi male population.
Material and Methods: A total of 200 diabetes type II patient ranging from age group of 30 to 70 years were included in the study after taking a preinformed written consent. The glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c)&lipid profile were performed on fully automated analyzers. The statistical analysis was done by using SPSS statistics and correlation among HbA1c and lipid profile of type II Diabetic patients was established.
Results: The mean HbA1c was in the range of 7.54 ± 1.24%. There were 61% subjects with high total cholesterol (TC) levels and 96% were with raised LDL levels. The 68% of the subjects were having lower HDL level. HbA1c demonstrated significant positive relationship with total cholesterol, TC (r=0.995), triglyceride, TG (r=0.997), high density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C (r=-0.940) and with low density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C (r=0.993).
Conclusion: The study concluded that HbA1c apart from acting as important diagnostic marker for glycemic control can also be used as a positive predictor of dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetics.

Background: Many people are affected by color blindness but most of them remain undetected as they simply adapt to the environment to certain extent and some remain unaware of the disease.
Objective: To find out the prevalence rate of color blindness in students of ages 6 years to 15 years, in various schools of Jalandhar.
Methods: A prospective study was done on 3259 students to identify the prevalence of color blindness. Students were examined with Ishihara Pseudoisochromatic Color Plates 38 edition. If the student was color blind, then it was further classified into its types. The data collected was complied and analyzed to evaluate the prevalence of color blindness, gender wise prevalence and prevalence of types of color blindness.
Results: Students of 12 schools were screened in the age group of 6 to 15 years. 3259 students were included in the study; 1683(40.44%) were males and 1584 (59.55%) females. Color blindness was seen in 61 students (1.89%) including 55 (1.69%) males and 6(0.184%) females. Among the color blind 56(91.8 %) were protanopes, 5(8.2 %) were deuteranopes and none were tritanope. Among the protanopes, 52(92.8%) were males and 4 (7.2%) were females and in deuteranopes, percentage of males affected was 4(66.7 %) and females was 2(33.3%).
Conclusion: Color blindness affects males more than females in this study similar to previous studies done. Protonopia is more common than deutronopia. Early school screening for color vision defect is recommended.

Introduction:Sweepers often work without proper protection and are thus exposed to harmful effects of inhaled dust.Objectives: This study was undertaken to study the effect of dust on the pulmonary functions in sweepers working in PIMS, Jalandhar.
Materials&Methods: 60 sweepers were selected and 60 controls were selected for this study. Lung functions were performed using Medspiror computerized spirometer. The data was collected and statistically analysed.
Results: Lung functions in sweepers were significantly decreased as compared to those in controls.
Conclusions: Dust causes chronic inflammatory diseases in lungs and causes a decrease in the lung volumes and capacities.
