Abstract

Hypertension is an unfinished health problem until now. Hypertension is a disease that causes stroke anddecreases the quality of life. One of the preventable causes of hypertension is obese. The purpose of thisstudy is observing the relationship between nutritional status, in this case obesity, and the incidence ofhypertension in young adults (18-40 years) in Tomohon City. By utilizing a cross sectional approach,this research was conducted in January-December 2019 on young adults aged 18-40 years who visited 7community health centers in Tomohon. There were 4,040 samples who were willing to be involved in thisstudy, who had never previously been diagnosed with hypertension by a doctor in any health facility. Basedon the Pearson’s chi-square test showed a p-value of age and the incidence of hypertension is 0.0001 < 0.05with estimated risk of 2.206 (CI 95%: 1.917-2.593). P-value of gender and the incidence of hypertension is0.0001 < 0.05 with estimated risk of 0.715 (CI 95%: 0.622-0.823). P-value of obesity and the incidence ofhypertension is 0.0001 < 0.05 with estimated risk of 2.502 (CI 95%: 2.150-2.911). So, it can be concludedthat there is a significant relationship between obesity and the incidence of hypertension

Abstract

Health care professionals are bound by the duty of providing the best possible care to their clients. To abideby this, one needs to constantly learn and imbibe the advances in the field. Evidence-based practise shouldbe built on the firm foundation of evidence synthesis. A professional may be a clinician, an academician, ora researcher per se, but contribution to the evolution of their profession is an indispensable responsibility.Conducting research is a scientific process which when combines with the art of writing the manuscriptinfluences innumerable lives in more than one positive way. Publication of findings not only helps one inprofessional development but also helps others globally in upgrading their services to benefit humankind.The process of drafting and publishing a manuscript needs initial guidance that appears to be missing as amajor part in the health science curriculum. In this article, we aim to outline the practical points to facilitatethe process of writing a manuscript for publication. This article includes the information on types of acceptedarticles, the pattern of manuscripts, gold standard guidelines, tips to draft each section of the manuscript(including cover letter), and how to choose a journal for publication, which would help to reduce the timerequired to prepare a draft and to increase the probability of acceptance of the manuscript for publication.

Abstract

Background: Toothbrushes play a significant role in disease transmission as they act as a reservoir formicroorganisms and aid in increasing the risk of infection in any individual. In recent years, the necessityof toothbrush disinfection has gained importance. Toothbrush disinfection should be recommended as aroutine practice for all individuals. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice ofundergraduate students regarding toothbrush contamination and disinfection.Materials and methods: This study involved 446 undergraduate students between the age group of 18 to 23years. A validated questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of undergraduatestudents regarding toothbrush contamination and disinfection. The study showed that 24.89% of the studentsdisinfected their toothbrushes and 75.11% did not use any disinfectant. 78.92% of the students feel thatbacteria as the main mode of toothbrush contamination. 84.40% of the students feel that the disinfection ofthe toothbrush is necessary whereas 15.69% feel that toothbrush disinfection is not necessary. 61.29% ofstudents did not know toothbrush disinfection.Conclusion: Fewer students have sufficient knowledge about toothbrush contamination and practice thedisinfection methods, whereas the majority of the students are unaware of the contamination of toothbrushesand the use of disinfectant methods.

Abstract

Background: Local drug delivery to gingival sulcus avoids adverse effects seen with systemic therapy andthere is very little information to substantiate the additive effect of the drugs, the current study makes anattempt in same regard.Aim: The objective of this study was to compare the local application of ornidazole and chlorhexidine gel(ClorniTM gel) as an adjunct to scaling and polishing, with scaling and polishing alone.Materials and methods: 33 patients meeting inclusion criteria were randomly allocated to treatmentgroups by computerized randomly selection method. Indices were recorded at baseline at their first visit.Supragingival and subgingival scaling and polishing was performed using hand and ultrasonic instruments.The patients were evaluated clinically by using the gingival index, plaque index and modified sulcus bleedingindex. On test side, ClorniTM gel was applied subgingivally after nonsurgical periodontal therapy. On thecontrol side, no intervention was done following subgingival scaling and polishing. Patients were recalledat 7th day for subsequent administration of gel on the same site and followed up at 21st day and 3 months tocompare the gingival condition by using the indices.Results: All subjects showed significant improvement over 3 months recall period, irrespective of test orcontrols. Statistical significance (p? 0.05) was observed at 7 days and 21 days for test group for the gingivalindex and at 21 days for the plaque index and modified sulcus bleeding index.Conclusion: The topical gel when used as an adjunct to scaling and polishing had significant results.

Abstract

Sudden death accounts for approximately two-thirds of autopsies in Forensic Medicine. Natural deathwithin 1 hour after the beginning of acute symptoms, is defined as Sudden Cardiac Death. Acute Myocardialinfarction (AMI) is a serious and potentially lethal manifestation of coronary artery disease, affecting morethan 7 million people worldwide each year and was proved to be a cause of sudden death. This studyquantitatively analyzed the heart blood for Cardiac Troponin T (cTnT) levels within 48hours after death &correlated with the histological changes of myocardium

Abstract

Aim. The purpose of this article review is to investigate the biological effects of TNF-? in systemicinflammation at moderate levels. TNF-? is a product of macrophages, one of the body’s defence systemsthat is active in the presence of a bacterial infection.Background. TNF-? plays a role in host defence for bacterial, viral and parasitic infections. TNF-? isproduced by macrophages and is activated by T cell lymphocytes, antigens, NK cells, and mast cells. TNF-?is usually not detected in healthy individuals but is often found in conditions of inflammation and infectionin the serum. TNF-? works against leukocytes and endothelium, induces acute inflammation at low levelsbecause TNF-? is a strong pyrogen. TNF-? plays a role in systemic inflammation at moderate levels. TNF-?causes pathological abnormalities in high levels of septic shock, because TNF-? is cytotoxic.Riview Results. In the review of this article we get results about the biological effects of TNF-? on systemicinflammation at moderate levels and their role in the humoral and cellular immune systems.Conclusion. TNF-? has a biological effect on systemic inflammation at moderate levels and has a strong rolein the humoral and cellular immune systems.

Abstract

Ayurveda is an ancient age-old practice that for many centuries has developed to become the principleteaching of how to live a healthy lifestyle: “Ayurveda, the ancient traditional medicine of India, defines healthas a state of complete physical, mental and spiritual well-being. The focus of Ayurveda is on a predictive,preventive and personalized medicine. This is obtained through low-cost personalized counseling aboutlifestyle measures (diet, activities, etc.), trying to involve the patient directly in the process of healing,increasing his self-awareness and good relationships with other people and nature”. Ayurveda approacheshealth from a holistic perspective. Its goal is not to reduce pain, as most modern medicine does, but to preventit: “The person-centered point of view of Ayurveda mainly concerns the maintenance of an abiding health,preventing rather than treating diseases. If our health is compromised, the treatment resides in restoring thebalance between the affected functions, the tissues, the environment and the whole organism. The nature ofthe individual is a parameter on which the whole system’s scale is tuned.”
