Abstract

Background: Traumatic incidents that happen before the age of eighteen, such as domestic abuse, violence, and child abuse, are known as adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Unfortunately, the trend is on the increase globally. Long-term health problems like alcoholism, depression, and chronic illnesses can be brought on by these experiences. Girls are impacted differently by gender norms and conceptions, and adolescents affected by ACEs are more likely to experience health disparities.  Purpose: The current study is undertaken to estimate the prevalence and frequency of various types of ACEs among medical students in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. Methods: A cross-sectional study, 211 NSCB Medical College students' data were gathered with the use of the "Adverse Childhood Experiences" (ACEs) scale. Chi square test was employed to determine the association. Results: As many as 211 medical students from NSCB Medical College in Jabalpur participated in the study; 19.4% of people were found to have an ACE with 10.5% of pupils saying they had only one ACE while 5.5% of pupils indicated that they had >/= 3 ACEs. Verbal abuse (6.2%) and family members who were problem drinkers or alcoholics (6.6%) were the most common ACEs reported. Conclusion: In spite of the low prevalence, a sizable portion stressed the significance of helping those who have experienced hardship. In order to lessen the negative effects of traumatic childhood experiences on mental health, the study emphasizes the necessity for additional investigation, education, and intervention. Determining the prevalence of adverse childhood experiences (in medical students is essential for developing focused interventions and support networks.

Abstract

Background: Malformations of the central nervous system (CNS) are a significant contributor to childhood morbidity and death. Congenital CNS abnormalities may result in long-term disability that affects not only the child's development and well-being but also families, the medical system, and society as a whole. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence, type, and associated risk factors of CNS malformations in newborns who were delivered to the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College (NSCB Medical College). Methods: An observational hospital-based study was carried out in the departments of pediatrics and obstetrics and gynecology at the NSCB Medical College and Hospital in Jabalpur. Data was entered into MS Excel, and IBM-SPSS 23.0 was used to perform descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. During a one-year study period, 40 cases of CNS malformation out of 7117 deliveries were found to have occurred either before or after birth. Results: During the study period, 40 cases of CNS malformation out of 7117 deliveries were identified either prenatally or at birth, making an incidence of 0.5%. Of all CNS anomalies, hydrocephalus accounted for 52.5 percent, whereas neural tube defects accounted for 27.5 percent. The other two main CNS abnormalities identified in utero were ventriculomegaly and midline defects. Conclusion: This study identified CNS malformations in newborns, with hydrocephalus and neural tube defects as the most common types. Key risk factors included younger maternal age, rural residence, inadequate antenatal care, adverse obstetric history, chronic illness, polyhydramnios, and maternal addiction.
