Abstract

Over the previous few weeks, the COVID pandemic has impacted lives across the world in unimaginableways, and quite ever at now like this, it’s essential we concentrate to our elderly who are theforemost vulnerable segment of the population. With aging, immunity decreases making elderly more proneto the virus.Additionally, the general public above the age of 60 have some or the opposite medical conditionlike diabetes, hypertension or asthma; all of which are risk factors.1 The demographic pyramid of India isshifting fast with a more number of within the elderly population. It appears that the socio-economic andsocio cultural transformation to higher individual freedom, hedonism, family unit, feminism, materialismetc. is catching older generation unaware. Aims: within the above context, the target of the study was tospot the themes that are related to the standard of life of home-dwelling elderly. In fact, the time of the 2011census there have been around 104 million people above the age of 60, which implies that a staggering9 percent of our population fall within this high risk group. But besides being most in danger, socialdistancing and therefore the nationwide lockdown even have implications on mental state of the elderly,which simply shouldn’t be ignored.2Methods: A non-experimental descriptive survey method was used accustomed assess the impact of lockdownon physical and psychological health of grownup selected by purposive sampling. The information wascomposed by pretested questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out with level of significance.Results: 60 senior citizen participated in the study.58% were not satisfied with lock down as it is affectingtheir physical and mental health.

Abstract

Background :Quality of life (QOL) is commonly used in the health care industry to assess the general wellbeing of the individual. Assessing QOL among children with diabetes, is completed with a disease specificapproach.1 The main aim of the present study was to systematically review the characteristics of publishedstudies in children with type 1 diabetic Quality of life and examine the quality of their findings.Method and Material: The 141 research articles searched in (PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus,Academia ,open access ) databases using the following search terms: “type 1 diabetic” and “quality of life”. Depending on the inclusion and exclusion criteria studies were filtered and 12 studies were chosen forthe final analysis. This systematic review was designed and conducted with the Published Guidelines forReporting Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)Result : The studies showed that sampling size differs in each study from 20 till 3005 it selected . butin many studies sample size is below 100. Validity and reliability were not done in many studies. Forreliability al studies who mentioned about validity used Cronbach’s ? coefficient to check the tool efficiency.Studies showed that people with diabetes had lower QoL . however the Quality of Life is directly relatedto the disease condition, HbA1 c and glycaemic control of children . Better control of Diabetic Mellitus isassociated with better health related QoL.

Abstract

In the studied hospital an increased number of adverse events were noted in the critical care unit (CCU)department of the tertiary care hospital in the last three months. Hence, a risk management technique, HazardIdentification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) is applied to identify the hazards and to reduce the risk of theidentified hazards by administering suitable mitigation and the control programs. The study was carriedout for three months i.e from May 2019 to July 2019 and all the staff’s responses of the CCU departmentwere captured to prepare the list of the perceived hazards. Moreover, the risk matrix is prepared for theidentified hazards by the responses of the CCU staff captured under the categories probability and severity.The findings of the study conclude that the risk associated with hazards H12 (Hindrance in the movementof patients, staff and utilities due to obstructed corridors), H2 (Malfunctioning of Life-saving equipmentor patient monitoring Biomedical Equipment) and H3 ( The broken cable of equipment results in powerleakage, short circuit and the trip of electricity supply in the department). The suitable interventions for thesecan be increased frequency of safety rounds, widening of the corridors and restricting access to the patientmovement areas, and buffer stock for the life-saving devices.

Abstract

Balur treatment (BT) is a method that works to remove toxins in the form of free radicals released via theskin. One of the remedies used is Kopi Balur 1 (KB1) which contains aspirin and caffeine used duringthe BT, so that KB1 is believed to have the potential to reduce or inhibit the occurrence of inflammatoryprocesses in the body. Therefore, we investigate the interactions that occur between ligands and proteins,predict the action mode of caffeine-aspirin contained in KB1 as an anti-inflammatory agent, and modelingthe 3D structure of pro-inflammatory proteins in the human body. The target compound, aspirin-caffein,was obtained from a database, then used to identify the pathway on the STITCH webserver, then the targetprotein was obtained and modeled in 3D using the SWISS-MODEL webserver, and the structures obtainedwere represented in PyMol software. In sum, the aspirin-caffeine ligand complex contained in KB1 has thepotential as an anti-inflammatory agent in the human body via the molecular mechanism of binding andinhibiting the biological activity of proinflammatory proteins, i.e. PTGS1, PTGS2, and ADOR2A.

Abstract

Background: Dental and oral disease is one of the most common health problems in Indonesia with aprevalence of 57.6% and only 10.2% who receive treatment. The level of oral health literacy in healthstudents needs to be known to carry out this role based on interprofessional education (IPE) in improvingdental and oral health services to the community. Purpose: To determine the level of dental and oral healthliteracy in health students (fields other than dental health) in Surabaya. Methods: Using a research designis an observational analytic conducted on health (non-dentistry) students at universities in Surabaya. Usingthe questionnaire there were 7 questions answered on a scale of 0-4 (very not-very agree), categorizationusing a score of T. Where T> 50 is a good category, and T <50 is a poor category and then analyzed the datausing the Chi-square method. Results: 51.32% of non health students were categorized as having dentalhealth literacy levels. Based on the study program group, 58.2% of the students of the Faculty of Medicineand 47.54% of the students of health (non-dentistry) were categorized as good. Based on sex 44.12% malehealth students and 52.9% female health students were categorized as good. Conclusion: The level of dentaland oral health literacy in health students (non dentistry) in Surabaya as a whole does not show a significantcomparison with the level of literacy in medicine students better than health students (non dentistry).

Abstract

Mercury (Hg) was known as a teratogenic which is distributed in tissue. This study aims to determine theretention and embryotoxicity of Hg-exposed pregnant mice. Thirty female mice was treated with HgCl2(mercuric chloride). HgCl2 (5 and 6 kg/mg BW) was inducted in pregnant mice at 9 and 11 gestational days.Hg levels were measured in hair, uterus, liver, kidney, brain, blood, placenta, visceral fetus, and fetus brain onthe 18th day of gestation using the atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) method. Embryotoxicity teston the fetus was carried out after the surgery took place. Scales and calipers are used to calculate fetal weightand crown rump length. Statistical tests were analyzed using the SPSS 21 program. The results showed thatthe liver, kidney, brain, visceral fetal, and fetal brain were significantly increased (P < 0.05) in the treatmentgroup at pregnant mice. Hg also produced a significant difference (P < 0.05) on the decrease in live fetuses,fetuses, body weight, and crown rump length and an increase in resorbed fetuses. Hg accumulation in thebody apparently can cause adverse effects in pregnant mice.
