Background: Increased blood pressure for a long time can increase the risk of kidney failure, co­ronary heart disease, brain damage, and other di­seases. In 2019, it is estimated that hyper­tens­ion is experienced by 1.13 billion people in the world with most (two thirds) living in low and mid­­dle income countries. Other study also shows that the police and military are at risk of develop­ing hypertension due to a number of factors such as low know­led­ge about healthy and nutritious food, co-workers who are smokers, and consum­ing alco­hol. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for hypertension in the police and military in the world using meta analysis. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-ana­lysis and systematic review. The articles used we­re obtained from Google Scholar, Springer Link, Pro­­Quest, and Science Direct databases. Selected arti­cles published from 2000 to 2020. Keywords to search for articles are as follows: hypertension po­lice personnel and military, or hypertension po­lice personnel and military. The articles studi­ed are 3 full text articles with cross sectional stu­dy designs and 1 full text articles with case cont­rol study design. Articles are col­lect­ed using PRI­S­­­MA diagrams, and analy­zed us­ing the Re­vi­ew Ma­nager application 5.3. Results: Overweight (aOR= 1.42; 95% CI = 1.01 to 2.00; p= 0.04), alcohol consumption (aOR­=­ 1.­55; 95% CI= 1.12 to 2.12; p= 0.007), ciga­rette con­­­­sumption (aOR= 1.45 ; 95% CI= 1.06 to 1.97; p= 0.020) is a risk factor for hyper­­­tension in the po­­­lice and military. Conclusion: Overweight, alcohol consump­tion, and cigarette consump­tion, are risk fac­tors for hypertension in po­lice and military personnel.

Abstract

Background: COVID-19 is a disease caused by infection with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 is still a worldwide threat because of its high morbidity and mortality. This is influenced by the occurrence of hypertension, obesity, age and diabetes mellitus. However, currently there is still controversy in the results of research regarding the use of metformin in COVID-19 with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM). This study was aimed to analyze the effect of metformin in COVID-19 patients with diabetes mellitus on mortality rates.Subjects and Method: This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis with the following PICO. P: COVID-19 patient with type-2 diabetes mellitus. I: administration of metformin therapy. C: therapy other than metformin and O: mortality. The articles used in this study were obtained from several databases, namely PubMed, Science Direct, Proquest, SpringerLink, Google Scholar and Scopus. The article search keywords were: “COVID-19” OR “coronavirus” AND “diabetes” AND “metformin” AND “mortality.” Articles included are full-text English using a cohort study design from 2020 to 2021 and reporting the Odds Ratio in multivariate analysis. The selection of articles was carried out using the PRISMA flow chart. The articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application.Results: A total of 7 cohort studies involving 136,321 COVID-19 patients from the Americas (USA and Alabama United States), Europe (France and Spain), and Asia (China and South Korea) were selected for systematic review and meta-analysis. The data collected showed that COVID-19 patients with diabetes mellitus who were given metformin reduced the risk of death by 0.90 times higher compared to COVID-19 patients with diabetes mellitus who were not given metformin therapy (aOR= 0.90; CI 95%= 0.68 to 1.19; p=0.450).Conclusion: Metformin can reduce the risk of death in COVID-19 patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract

Background: Tetanus is a vaccine preventable, non-communicable disease known as lockjaw and characterized by muscle spasm. It is a forgotten disease in the developed world but remained an infection of public health importance in the developing countries. This study aimed to determine the trend in its epidemiology and outcome in Nasarawa state. Subjects and Method: A retrospective study using secondary data from the medical records of three selected health facilities, one each across the three senatorial zones of the state. All those who had tetanus were included while those with incomplete records, 5 were excluded. Data analysis was done using a statistical package for social sciences version 23. The dependent variable was the outcome of tetanus while the independent variables were incubation period, onset period, type of tetanus, risk factors, vaccination history, and manifestations of tetanus. Results: The subject consists of 53.8% males and single with age (Mean=15; SD=6.90). Four and 17 days were the shortest and longest incubation periods while one and six days were the shortest and longest onset periods respectively. A total of 24 (93.3%) patients had generalized tetanus. Nail puncture, road traffic accidents, and umbilical infection were the commonest sources of post-neonatal and neonatal tetanus in this study. Spasm is the commonest manifestation, present in 19 (73.1%) of the study population. This is closely followed by trismus in 57.7% of the cases. About half have a positive vaccination history. This study found case fatality of 7.7%. Conclusion: Generalized tetanus was the commonest type seen in this study, while nail puncture, road traffic accident and umbilical infection were the most common sources of infection. Although, more than half of the study subjects received immunization to prevent tetanus, the case fatality in this study was in one in twelve sufferers.

Abstract

Background: Airborne fungal spores may pose as a potential high risk of fungalrelated health problems in humans, animals, and plants which necessitated the need to constantly monitor the presence and diversity of fungi spores in the atmosphere regularly. This study aims to investigate diversity and abundance of airborne fungal spores across multiple locations for two years in Ibadan, South West, Nigeria.Subjects dan Method: Study descriptive cross-sectional are used to investigate diversity and abundance of airborne fungal spores across multiple locations. The variable in this study were Airborne fungi spores diversity sampled monthly from five different locations in Ibadan, Oyo State, SouthWest Nigeria for two years using the open plate sedimentation method with the petri dishes of Dichloranglycerol 18 (DG18) and Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) media. Monthly Meteorological parameters were equally taken during the duration of sampling. The data were collected and graphical presented using histograms.Results: A total of 39 fungal species were identified throughout duration of study. Aspergillus and Penicillium were the most abundant fungi genera isolated while few Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, and Basidiomycetes were found. Rainy season period favours high number of fungi in the atmosphere. The highest abundance of fungal spores was recorded in June and July while lower fungi concentration was recorded between December and February.Conclusion: the study revealed the most dominant and abundant spores belong to the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium. The results show the need for people suffering from fungi sensitivity and allergies to be well informed. Keywords: fungi, health, Ibadan, airborne. Correspondence: Adeyinka Odebode.

Abstract

Background: Vaccination has been adopted as a key public health strategy for combating the COVID-19 pandemic. The accelerated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines’ development had limited time for extensive investigation of the adverse events. The study aimed to assess the average adverse events rates in published COVID-19 vaccination studies. Subjects and Method: The study used systematic review and meta-analysis involving studies that reported adverse events following administration of any of the approved COVID-19 vaccines in humans. A highly specific search strategy was developed and implemented in PubMed. The core search string was “(COVID-19 OR COVID OR "coronavirus disease") AND vaccin* AND (side-effects OR "adverse events")”. Titles and abstracts were screened, and full texts of potentially relevant articles were retrieved. Data extracted included general study background, adverse events, and frequency of occurrence. Meta-analyses were conducted for adverse events reported by at least 5 studies. Meta-analysis of proportions was carried out using logit transformation with the generalized linear mixed model estimation method. Results: A total of 108 adverse events were reported in 15 studies observing 735,515 participants from 10 countries. The highest pooled prevalence rates were pain at injection site (67.2%; 95% CI= 46.49 to 82.86; I2= 99.9%, 11 studies, 670,557 participants), weakness/fatigue (41.88%; 95% CI= 26.82 to 58.61, I2= 99.9%, 13 studies, 671,045 participants), muscle/joint pain (28.95%; 95% CI= 16.95 to 44.86, I2= 99.9%, 13 studies, 672,791 participants), and headache (27.78%; 95% CI= 17.59 to 40.95, I2= 99.9%, 14 studies, 672,883 participants). Four cases of death were reported by two papers enrolling 711 patients with cancer or multiple sclerosis, three due to comorbid disease progression, and one case due to COVID-19. Forty-three cases of anaphylaxis were reported in three studies enrolling 68,218 participants. Conclusion: The most prevalent adverse events among recipient of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were local and general systemic reactions.

Abstract

Background: Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality in India. The Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) is a robust public health system to deal with Tuberculosis (TB) in India. Unless the treated patient comes back to the system with signs and symptoms of TB due to relapse or reinfection, there is no mechanism of follow-up or any method to know the relapse rate in the population. This study aimed to analysed trends in relapse tuberculosis cases and describe their associations with socio-demographic and clinical factors.Subjects dan Method: In this prospective cohort study, 750 selected sample size who were declared “Cured” in four randomly selected TB units of Gwalior district were followed up for 1–5 years through home visits by trained staff with structured data collection forms. Data Collection was done between January 2022 to June 2022 and afterwards analyzed using Microsoft excel spreadsheet.Results: The mean age of the index cases was Mean= 30.53; SD= 14.24 years, and there were 39 females and 64 males. At early stage (1-to-2-year posttreatment follow-up of 248 index cases) 199 (80.2%) were healthy and working without any symptoms of TB. Symptoms of TB were present in 49 (19.8%) cases. The after 2-year posttreatment TB Symptoms were present in 54 (19.3%) cases.Conclusion: Long-term follow-up of cured, new smear-positive TB cases reinforce the effectiveness of anti-TB treatment under the RNTCP as assessed by improved health outcomes in more than two-thirds of cases and posttreatment survival of 80.72% of index cases. Further investigation needed to continue such follow-up for all TB cases treated under the RNTCP for effective end-TB strategy.

Abstract

Background: Nurses are at increased risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to response of the body and mind to a threatening working environment as they care for COVID-19 patients in isolation centres. This study determined the prevalence of PTSD and examined the associated factors among nurses working in COVID-19 isolation centres.Subjects dan Method: The study was a cross-sectional design. Purposive method was used to select two isolation centres, while 75 nurses who participated in the study were selected using total enumeration sampling technique. A structured questionnaire with validity and reliability established was used to collect data which were screened, collated and analyzed with SPSS 27. The Fisher’s Exact Test and Multivariate logistic regressions were the inferential statistics used to test the level of significant at p<0.050 and 95% confidence interval. The dependent variable of this study is posttraumatic stress disorder while the independent variables included socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, psychological and working conditions factors.Results: The mean age of the participants was (Mean=37.60; SD=10.20). Percentage of nurses having mild to severe PTSD was 27.8%. Duration stayed in COVID-19 isolation centres by nurses was significantly associated with the PTSD (p=0.003). The age, gender, marital status, and education level of the nurses were not statistically significant associated with the PTSD (p>0.05). Nurses who felt their life was under threat by working in COVID-19 isolation centres were 4.2 times more likely to develop PTSD compared to nurses who did not (OR=4.22, 95% CI=3.57 to 12.60, p=0.001).Conclusion: Nurses suffered PTSD due to psychological and physical exhaustion during the care of COVID-19 patients in isolation centres. Support program is recommended for the affected nurses to improve their quality of life. Keywords: COVID-19 isolation centres, nurses, PTSD, prevalence Correspondence: Tajudeen Olusegun Rasheed.

Abstract

Background: Managing abortion-related complications remains a health concern despite the insertion of postabortion care into Benin's family health service guidelines and protocols, not with standing that abortion up to 12 weeks of pregnancy has been legalized in Benin. This study aimed to investigate factors associated with poor quality of postabortion care in the Ouidah-Kpomassè-Tori-Bossito district hospital in 2022. Subjects dan Method: This was a cross-sectional, analytical study carried out from March 21 to April 8, 2022. Records of all patients admitted for abortion at Ouidah-Kpomassè-Tori-Bossito district hospital from January 1, 2021, to April 8, 2022, were reviewed, as well as the providers involved in postabortion care and administrative staff, chosen through a reasoned choice. The dependent variable was the quality of postabortion care, defined by the six components: interview, physical examination, complementary examination, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up; according to the Benin postabortion care guidelines. Independent variables were provider features, patient features, and abortion features. Information collected through literature review and questionnaire survey was analyzed using STATA 15 software. Associated factors were then identified by bivariate analysis and multiple logistic regression at 5% threshold. Results: A total of 130 records of women admitted for abortion were evaluated. The mean age was (Mean= 27.56; SD= 7.33). Postabortion care was poor in 39.23% and good in 60.77% of the patients. Factors associated with this poor quality of postabortion care were religion (p= 0.021), abortion history (p= 0.012), miscarriage history (p= 0.026) and abortion type (p= 0.007). Conclusion: Addressing these factors will help ensure a better quality of postabortion care in order to support legalized abortion and significantly reduce maternal mortality related to abortion in Benin.
