Publisher : Journal of Medical Biomedical and Applied Sciences

The information technology may provide alternative approaches to Osteoporosis disease diagnosis. This systematicreview was performed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of vertebral fracture assessment. In this study, we examinethe potential use of classification techniques on a massive volume of healthcare data, particularly in prediction ofpatients that may have Osteoporosis through its risk factors. For this purpose, we propose to develop a new solutionapproach based on Random Forest decision tree to identify the osteoporosis cases. There has been no researchin using the afore-mentioned algorithm for Osteoporosis patientsÃ¢â¬Ë prediction. The reduction of the attributes consiststo enumerate dynamically the optimal subsets of the reduced attributes of high interest by reducing the degree ofcomplexity. A computer-aided system is developed for this purpose. The performance of the proposed model in thisstudy is analyzed and evaluated based on set of benchmark techniques applied in this classification problem.

Objective: To assess the problems faced by Lady Health Visitors during polio vaccination campaignin district Quetta.Method: This study is a qualitative study based on interviews with LHVs in Quetta. The saturation point was 8interviews however, a total of 10 interviews were conducted for accuracy. The subjects were selected based on snowballtechnique. Data was transcribed, and frequencies were drawn on SPSS version 20, after three themes were generatedusing the standard procedure namely; Pre- campaign issues, Issues during campaigning and Post- campaign issues.Result: The most prevalent pre-campaign issue recorded was conveyance issue i.e. travel of LHVs from their houseto Polio center and vice versa. The most common issue faced during the door to door campaign was rude behavior ofpeople and taunting. Character calling was the second most common issue recorded. Furthermore, not opening doorsfor LHVs was the thirst commonest issue. victimization and harassment by pedestrians and public. The most commonpost-campaign issues recorded was delay in provision of pay to the LHVs along with non-cooperation of departmentsin solving issues of LHVs.Conclusion: This study is an admonition for concerned departments and authorities. With such issues being faced,appropriate incentives should be given to the on duty LHVs. Departments need to solve the issues on priority basis.Most incidences of victimization by public are based on their religious views hence it is strongly recommended thatreligious authorities be involved in the campaigns to play their effective role in changing the perceptions of people aboutPolio immunization campaigns. Nonetheless, mass media campaigns are recommended to aware the community aboutPolio and the role of LHVs in eradication of polio from Pakistan.

Kaposiâs Sarcoma Not Related To HIV: Case Report Borjas, E J; Chinchilla, C E; Bejarano, S A
Journal of Medical Biomedical and Applied Sciences Vol 6 No 8 (2018)
Publisher : Journal of Medical Biomedical and Applied Sciences

Introduction: KaposiÃ¢â¬â¢s sarcoma is an angio proliferative disorder related to a malignant neoplasm predominantly of mucocutaneous tissues. There are four clinical presentations of KaposiÃ¢â¬â¢s sarcoma: Classic, Endemic, Epidemic or related to HIV and Iatrogenic, all of which are mainly caused by human herpes virus type 8. Ã¢â¬Â©Objective: We present a case of a 73-year-old male, type II diabetic, with a family history of cutaneous carcinoma, diagnosed with non-HIV related KaposiÃ¢â¬â¢s sarcoma.Discussion: KaposiÃ¢â¬â¢s sarcoma is mainly associated with the herpes virus 8, this seems to be necessary for the development of the disease. We present a case of classical KaposiÃ¢â¬â¢s sarcoma, commonly affecting people older than 60 years. It is characterized by violaceous red maculae in lower limbs progressing to nodules. The health care provider must be able to make the diagnosis based on skin lesions and perform a biopsy only to confirm histological diagnosis. The 5-year survival for low eruptivity 97%, moderate 92.7% and high 75%.Conclusion: We found a classic Kaposi sarcoma with no relationship to HIV infection, a case not well documented, with palliative management and with a good response to it, since there are not established management protocols available.

Otomycosis, is called âswimmers earâ, it is a common ear disease in moist environment.The aim of this survey was to detect otomycosis among the fishing community of BÃ©nisaf harbour, Ain-TÃ©mouchent (Algeria). The study involved 220 artisanal fishermen, 18 specimens of ear swabs, and ear scrapings from individuals with clinical otitis were examined from June to August 2015. These specimens were submitted for mycological investigation for reasons such as pruritus, ear blocking or tinnitus. Prevalence of otomycoses among fishermen with otitis was 38,9% (7 positive cases). The maximum of positive patients was seen in the age group above 41 years (57,1%), and 57,1% of positive cases had over 21 yearsâ experience of working as a fisherman. Candida genus was the most encountered fungi (57,14%), followed by moulds (42,58%). Fishermen work in aquatic environment and are exposed to heat and moisture.In summary, this study demonstrates that the diagnosis of otomycoses among fishermen requires vigilance from clinician given its non-specific symptoms.

Objective: To determine the co-existence of dengue fever and malaria in patients presenting with febrile illness.Introduction: Malaria is worldâs most widespread infection. It occurs throughout most of the tropical regions ofthe world. Plasmodium falciparum predominates in Africa, plasmodium vivax is more common in Central America,plasmodium malariae is found in most endemic areas, especially throughout Africa, plasmodium ovale is unusualoutside of Africa and comprises <1% of isolates. The rationale of this study is to confirm d ual i nfections (malariaand dengue) in our setup in order to treat and prevent complications of co-existing disease. Secondly, both diseasesare associated with bleeding disorder hence by making proper diagnosis we can prevent risk of bleeding.Material And Methods: A cross sectional study was done at Department of Medicine, Shaikh Zayed MedicalComplex, Lahore. The time duration of the study was from 5-10-2016 to 5-4-2017. This study a total of 150patients were observed. By taking all aseptic measures 3ml blood was taken in three bottles (one CBC and twoserum bottles). One serum bottle was clearly marked with hospital number and patient name and sent to theoutside laboratory in order to check Anti Brucella antibodies, typhidot test and Paul Bunnel and Monospot test ofInfectious mononucleosis. 2nd serum bottle was clearly marked with hospital number and patient name and sent tothe laboratory in order to check dengue virus antigen, dengue serology, CBC bottle was sent to check malariaparasite by making thick and thin films. Results: In the present study mean age of study patients was 40.02 +14.4 years. The female and male gender proportions were 61% and 39% respectively. Our study concludes thatthe co-existence of dengue fever and malaria was 19% in patients presenting with febrile illness.Conclusion: Our study concludes that the co-existence of dengue fever and malaria was 19% in patients presentingwith febrile illness.

Introduction: Lower Back pain with radiation to the lower extremities is a frequent complaint, especially in elderlypeople, and lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is one of the underlying conditions. Computed Tomography (CT) orMagnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) can verify a stenosis in the lumbar spinal region. The incidence and prevalenceof symptomatic lumbar stenosis are rather speculative with no pertinent data. This study is designed to know the bestestimate of LSS in symptomatic patients to help in resource allocation and to make strategies to cut down the morbidity.Subject and Methods: A cross sectional study was done at Neurology and Medicine Department, Bolan MedicalCollege, Quetta. Total duration was from 01/01/2018 to 30/06/2018. A total of 169 symptomatic patients were includedin this study. A detailed history was taken for the duration of symptoms, and MRI was advised. Patients fulfilling thecriteria of lumbar spinal stenosis on MRI reported by the consultant radiologist and having symptoms for more than 3months, were marked as having lumbar spinal stenosis.Results: - The average age of the patients was 63.01 8.39 years Out of 169 cases, 102(60.03%) were male and67(39.64%) female. Frequency of spinal stenosis diagnosed on imaging in symptomatic patients was observed in37.27% (63/169) cases.Conclusion: The results of this study provide significant statistics for doctors that can help in promoting awarenessabout spinal stenosis. In future it might also help to reduce its incidence by designing local protocols and strategiesfor overcoming a problem of such a magnitude which may ultimately help in locating proper funds and proper timeallocation to deal with this disease entity.
