Core Subject : Health,
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: 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.

Abstract

Background: Despite the increasing prevalence of overnutrition, the increasing number of children with Down syndrome, followed by the higher risk of children with Down syndrome to experience overnutrition, research conducted on factors that influence the nutritional status of children with Down syndrome is still limited in Indonesia. This research was conducted to look at the comparison of factors affecting the nutritional status of children with Down syndrome in the 7-12-year-old age group in Medan.Subjects dan Method: This research is an analytical cross-sectional study design. This research was conducted by distributing questionnaires to mothers of children with Down syndrome at POTADS Medan. The sampling method used is purposive sampling and data that meets the inclusion and exclusion criteria is selected. The number of samples were 30 children with Down syndrome. The data is then analyzed with Spearman’s correlation using SPSS with children’s nutritional status as the dependent factor and paternal education, maternal education, total parents’ earnings, children's energy intake, children’s diet quality, children’s physical activity, and maternal nutritional knowledge as the independent factors.Results: Correlations were found between the nutritional status of the children and paternal education (p= 0.019; r= -0.42), between children’s nutritional status and children's energy intake (p= 0.002; r= 0.55), and between children’s nutritional status and children’s diet quality (p= 0.015; r= -0.44) with confidence interval at 95%.Conclusion: Strong negative correlation against children’s nutritional status was found in paternal education and children's diet quality, while strong positive correlation was found in children’s energy intake. Indirect correlations against nutritional status were found in maternal education, parents’ total income, and maternal nutritional knowledge score. Keywords: down syndrome, diet quality, bmi.

Abstract

Background: SARS-CoV-2 is a highly pathogenic and transmissible respiratory virus that causes the COVID-19 disease, that has affected both our physical and mental health leaving scarring lesions on both. Our objective was to assess the impact of this virus on the social behavioral status of individuals and the acceptance of its impact.Subjects dan Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2021 to September 2021, using a questionnaire to collect data from random international study participants. Descriptive and statistical analysis were run on SPSS Statistics with a p-value <0.050.Results: Results obtained found that most of the participants (78.3%) followed the procedures to prevent the infection, few (25.8%) of the them have been infected or have at least confirmed the infection with COVID-19 tests, but also few of these partakers (40.4%) have been vaccinated.Conclusion: The pandemic and its surrounding rumors about the virus or COVID-19 vaccines never fail to affect day-to-day life. The disease and its post-complications had/still surround many enigmas for our physical and mental health and the return to normal would be even harder.

Abstract

Background: The novel human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 with symptoms ranging from the common cold to pneumonia, has been responsible for the current health crisis, it has spread rapidly at record speed leaving many deaths of different ages and different ethnicities, and in order to stop this propagation, scientists rushed to create several efficient vaccines against this virus, and despite being marketed in all countries of the world, opinions diverged between supporters and opponents. This prompted us to carry out this survey study on vaccination against COVID-19 at the University of Tlemcen, with the aim of exploring the perceptions and opinions of participants on vaccination and vaccines in general. Subjects dan Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted over a two months period, using a questionnaire to collect data from Teachers and Students of the University of Tlemcen with a 382 calculated sample size, the survey was shared via email and social media networks. Variables of interest included exposure to the pathogen, the laboratory testing results, effectiveness and adherence to the preventive measures, while also monitoring the vaccine acceptance and hesitancy. Descriptive and statistical analysis were run on SPSS Statistics with a p-value <0.050. Results: The majority of respondents for this study belonged to young people of the female gender (37.4%), despite the latter, men were the most vaccinated (53.4%), fortunately, most of them also acknowledge the association between prevention and vaccination (94.6%). Conclusion: Vaccine reluctance is a huge problem in the face of a pandemic that is not yet over. Even with the availability of vaccines and vaccination campaigns, unexplained fear due to rumors and conspiracy theories on social media still wins over the public about the safety of these vaccines.

Abstract

Background: Overweight or obesity is a public health problem worldwide which is increasing both in the general population and in people with chronic diseases. Overall both children and adults are vulnerable to overweight or obesity. This study aims to examine the effect of physical activity, consumption of vegetables and alcohol on overweight or obesity using a meta-analysis.Subjects and Method: Meta-analysis was carried out using the PRISMA flowchart and the PICO model. Population: age 6 to 64 years. Intervention: low physical activity, low vegetable and fruit consumption, and high alcohol. Comparison: high physical activity, high vegetable and fruit consumption, and alcohol low. Outcome: overweight or obese. The databases used are Google Scholar, PubMed, and Proquest with keywords (Overweight OR Obesity OR "BMI Status") AND (“Physical Activity” OR Exercise OR Sport OR Inactive) AND (Vegetable AND Fruit) AND Alcohol AND "Cross Sectional" AND aOR. There were 22 cross-sectional studies published in 2012-2022 that met the inclusion criteria. Analysis was performed with RevMan 5.3.Results: A meta-analysis was conducted on 22 articles with a cross-sectional study design originating from Indonesia, Ghana, Arab Emirates, Texas, Ethiopia, Uganda, Botswana, Congo, Bahir Dar, North Western, Toronto, Zambia, Cameroon and Tanzania involving 91,031 ages 6-64 years. The results of the meta-analysis showed that someone with low physical activity had a risk of being overweight or obese 1.35 times compared to high physical activity (aOR= 1.35; 95% CI= 1.09 to 1.68; p<0.001), someone with high consumption of vegetables and fruit have a risk of experiencing overweight or obesity 1.40 times compared to high consumption of vegetables and fruits (aOR= 1.40; 95%CI= 0.94 to 2.08; p<0.001), and someone with high alcohol has a risk of experiencing overweight or obesity 1.47 times compared low alcohol (aOR= 1.47; 95% CI= 1.31 to 1.65; p<0.001).Conclusion: Low vegetable and fruit consumption, high alcohol consumption and low physical activity can increase the risk of being overweight or obese.
