Abstract

Pica items are deferent, and vary according to culture, race/ethnicity and geographic location. It is the eatingof a non-nutritional substance as defined by the American psychiatric association and the most widespreadof which is eating soil. A total of 163 iron deficient anemic patients included in this cross sectional study,where 18 substances nominated as causes of IDA were collected from …….. . Information was collectedfrom the patient involving gender, age, type of substance, and the causes of iron deficiency were sought toidentify clinical and laboratory correlates of pica in 163 .The result show where most targeted materialsas pica was Bitter gum 81 (22.8%) while the lowest were the Sesame =1, Nail=2, Soap=1 cases. whilesignificant statistical difference between the gender distribution and hemoglobin levels, WBC of picapatient, while age and platelets don’t showing this differences. only age of (35-40) years showing significantstatistical association of both Hb and WBC counts. The result show many comorbid condition in additionto anemia had been discovered, where most of these condition where linked to Khawa clay consumptions.Independent variables seems to be correlated really through the effect of the granulocytes and platelets withHb. This study is very important as a future study because it reveals many patterns of deficiency of someblood parameters with pica, as well as most people who suffer from Pica have iron deficiency, as this studyprovided a great incentive to know the ages and genders of the most vulnerable group of pica disorder.

Abstract

Background: Maternal health services refer to the promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative care of mothers. Antenatal care is the care of women during pregnancy the main aim of care is to achieve at the end a healthy baby from healthy mother. Antenatal mothers should be educated regarding regular antenatal checkups, diet, personal hygiene, adequate rest, sleep, exercise, immunization, warning signs of pregnancy and child care. Methods: Descriptive study to assess the knowledge, barriers of non- utilization regarding Maternal Health services. The data was collected using structured knowledge questionnaire and utilization and barriers to non-utilization checklist from 60 postnatal mothers up to 3 months after delivery.Result: The study result showed that women 78.34% had average knowledge and 21.66% had good knowledge regarding maternal health services. Social barriers for non-utilization were family pressure, shyness, poor transportation and illiteracy. Economic barriers for non-utilization were health expenditure perceived as waste, unemployment, low socio economic status and large family size respectively. Cultural barriers for non-utilization were lack of formal education and religious practices respectively, family members disapproved superstition. There was no significant association between knowledge, utilization and barrier on non-utilization of maternal health services and selected demographic variables.Conclusion: The study concluded that postnatal mothers had average knowledge and there is need to create awareness on maternal health services launched by the government of India. Low socioeconomic condition, early marriage and pregnancy, inappropriate antenatal health check-up, and cultural taboos were significant factors affecting the satisfactory utilization of services among mothers. Hence, there is a need to emphasize on utilization and eradicate barriers related to non-utilization of maternal health services

Abstract

Introduction: There are quite a number of foetal deaths occurring in the developing country like India due to low socio economic status, illiteracy, ignorance, lack of interest, concealment of the birth, having female child etc. This is despite the fact that these occurrences are a world- wide phenomenon and by definition involve criminal law concerns such as illegal abortion, concealment of birth, murder, or neonaticide and abandonment of babies. This study is to make comprehensive and analytical study of various medico legal aspects of foetal and infant deaths in and around Guntur district during the period of 2013-2015.Materials and methods: This is a three year retrospective study of autopsies done on the foetus and infants at the Department of Forensic Medicine, GMC/GGH Mortuary, Guntur from 2013 to 2015. Inquest and autopsy findings are analyzed to evaluate demographic profile and various socio-economic factors contributing to the foetal deaths, the pattern of injuries, manner & cause of death of the foetuses, neonates and infants. Observations and conclusion: Total number of cases of foetal autopsy amounts to around 1.2 % of total autopsy during the study period but in the study, relatively large number i.e., 50% of cases of abortuses, foetuses and newborns indicated that the manner had been homicidal or death by abandonment. Female foetal autopsies amounted to about 52% of total foetal autopsies and homicidal male foetal deaths are 56% of total homicidal foetal deaths. This study is helpful to the investigating authorities to identify such cases for further investigation of the cases.

Abstract

Growth is a gradual process and continuously brings about changes in human body and so do the hormones. There are two hormones produced by the gland in females which govern all the functions and regulate the entire process in all stages of life. Inspite of being just two in number i.e. estrogen and progesterone carry out numerous functions and these functions are of varying complexity. The changes brought about by female sex hormones also are of varying nature in different stages of life, be it early teenage or early fifties. Of these vast changes taking place in a female body in a life time several of them remain unnoticed.Because of rising awareness with changing trends in dentistry, we as Periodontists are trying to highlight phases of female reproductive cycle from puberty through menopause and some of the changes brought about by female sex hormones and their effect on the periodontium and management in different stages of life through our review article.

Abstract

Introduction: Age estimation plays a crucial role in establishing identity of the individual. Root dentintranslucency (RDT) is one of the stable parameter and is based on the translucent zone present in the rootdue to calcific deposits.Aims & Objective: the aim of our study was to estimate age using root dentine translucency length in acluster of Himachal Pradesh (Indian Population) and to derive a population specific formula, also to observethe correlation between root dentine translucency and gender.Materials and Method:A digital calibration of translucency length was calculated in 80 extracted naturalteeth and was statistically analysed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and regression model was appliedto derive the regression equation.Result: RDT length was positively correlated with chronological age with correlation coefficient r = 0.95,population specific regression equation was derivedAge (y) = 18.384 + 6.4654 x RDT and age was estimatedwith a mean absolute error of ±3.4 years.Discussion & Conclusion: This study reinforced the theory that RDT length is strongly correlated with age,a population specific linear regression equation was derived. However there were no significant differencesfor RDT and gender was observed.

Abstract

Purpose: To study the epidemiological profile, clinical features, complications, and outcome of snake bite cases in a tertiary care teaching hospital in north India.Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study of snake bites was carried out from June 2012 to October 2013. Data was collected regarding the socio-demographic profile, clinical features, complications, management and the outcome. The ICU LOS and the associated mortality were taken as the measures of outcome.Results: Out of the total 88, majority of the victims were rural men in the age group of 21-30 years. More than 90% of incidents were reported during the monsoon season. Neuroparalysis was present in 92% of patients. The mean bite to hospital time was 5.66 ± 1.78 hours. All patients had received polyvalent ASV with a mean dose of 20.85 ± 5.73 vials. 61.36% patients required ventilatory support with mean duration of 5.22 ± 7.69 days. The ICU LOS was observed to be 4.83 ± 6.96 days and associated mortality rate was 6.8%.Conclusion: There is urgent need to create awareness amongst the vulnerable population. To get a real picture of the burden, information need to be collected from community based surveys along with the peripheral primary healthcare centers
