Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Subfertility and Vitamin D Deficiency.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine female disorder, affecting 4-18% women of reproductive age. The prevalence of PCOS in South Asian women, especially in Pakistani women, is much higher (52%) as compared to white population (20 - 25% in UK). In Pakistan, vitamin D status displays 31.2% vitamin D insufficiency, 53.5% vitamin D deficiency, and 15.3% normal vitamin D values. ⋯ A lot of researches have to be directed to examine the association among the PCOS and vitamin D, which may display monitoring role in several symptoms related to PCOS, such as ovulatory dysfunction, endocrine disruption, and insulin resistance. Vitamin D supplementation can, therefore, be employed to improve the metabolic and endocrine disorders; especially improving hormonal profile, oxidative stress, and ovulation outcome in PCOS patients. Key Words: Vitamin D, Infertility, Ovulatory Dysfunction, Insulin Resistance.

Effect of Phototherapy on Peripheral Blood Cells in Hyperbilirubinemic Newborns.
This study was conducted to determine the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte/monocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio; and to evaluate the effect of phototherapy on the peripheral blood cells in newborns with indirect hyperbilirubinemia. A total of 180 newborns consisting of 119 hyperbilirubinemic newborns, who received phototherapy; and 61 healthy newborns were included in the study. A statistically significant difference was present only between the patient group and healthy newborn white blood cell values after phototherapy. ⋯ The decrease in neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio after phototherapy could potentially be used in the evaluation of phototherapy's effect on peripheral blood cells. New studies on this subject are, therefore, required. Key Words: Newborn, Phototherapy, Inflammation, Peripheral blood cells.
