Abstract

Background: Breast cancer is believed to be the most widespread carcinoma all over the world and themost frequent type of carcinoma among females in India. Approximately 40% of breast lesions which leadto breast cancer is detectable by breast self-examination (BSE). The identification of the barriers of earlydetection and the baseline knowledge on breast cancer symptoms, risk factors, BSE method and also theeffectiveness of a health education intervention among females in Bangalore, India are the main purposesof this research.Methodology: The study was composed of totally 500 female participants from five different institutions inurban and rural of Bangalore in 2020. Assessing baseline knowledge on breast cancer and BSE using selfadministeredquestionnaires as well as administering interventional health education in the form of a lecture,pamphlets and illustration of proper method of conducting breast self-examination using video tutorials.Conclusion: The baseline knowledge about breast cancer and BSE practice among participants for earlydetection was found to be insufficient. However, we witnessed a great progress after immediate and followup intervention. Periodic interventions are essential to prevent relapsing of certain types of barriers.

Abstract

Maternal mental health considered as an important subject among leading public health experts. It hasbeen shown that women are two to three times more likely to be diagnosed with mental illness comparedto men. Chronic stress, experiencing war, and history of abuse are the most effective factors that associatedwith mental illness. Iraq has experienced years of challenging circumstances due to the political and socialenvironment as well as due to physical barriers to health care services. This paper presents findings ofprevious literatures in relative to mental illness among Iraqi women.In the current study, we are aiming todetermine the mental illness symptoms and effects in pregnancy during a period of all trimesters.Moreover,we try to assess risk factors’ effects on mental illness symptoms in order to have better understandingof the occurrence and associated factors in pregnancy.Type of study comparative cross -sectional studywith analytic component.A cross section study was conducted from 2018/9/5 to 2019/8/25. Observationsof present study show that there is a relationship between some factors like domestic violence,un plannedfor pregnancy, previous miscarriage, psychological trauma before or during pregnancy.Our study mainlyfocusing on women with maternal mental illness and inform strategies that would help to reduce and managematernal mental problems in order to promote their general health status.

Abstract

Background: Maternal and child health (MCH) routine data is essential in making a good health-relatedpolicy. However, the quality of MCH routine data in Indonesia is doubted, and thus the Indonesian governmentrelies heavily on the survey data for policymaking. This condition raises questions about where the problemsexist in routine data recording stages. This study aims to explore the barriers and strategies of MCH routinedata recording by the administrators in the primary healthcare center.Method: This study was qualitativeresearch conducted in Buru Regency, Ambon City, Purworejo Regency, and Surakarta City from May toNovember 2020. The data collections were intended to understand administrators’ efforts to deal with the datarecording problems. Data triangulation was performed through in-depth interviews with primary healthcarecenter staff and observations on daily routine data administration practices.Results: The study demonstratedchallenges in the MCH routine data administration context. The first problem is behavioral contexts lead toincorrect input and delay data submission. Second, technical determinant shows the lack of integration thatleads to repetitive data recording and data fragmentation. The third was the organizational problem suchas lack of inter and intra-departmental coordination in data sharing, infrastructure, and human resourceshortage.Conclusion: The findings elucidate the problem of administrative structures in the implementationof routine data policy. A comprehensive response to cope with routine data policy implementation contextis needed. Existing maternal and child healthcare routine data requires structural administration refinementthat provides a context for implementing reliable routine data recording of maternal and child health.

Abstract

Background: Superior semicircular canal dehiscence (SSCD) syndrome is a disease that occurs veryrare. Clinical presentation consists of Tullio’s phenomenon and Hennebert’s sign. This case presentationis atypical and clinician should be aware. Purpose: to present the rare case of Superior semicircular canaldehisence (SSCD) Case presentation: A 65-year-old woman with complaints of dizziness from 2 years agoand her recurrence. The audiogram showed bilateral sensorineural deafness with a mean hearing thresholdof 58 decibels (dB) of the right ear and 48 dB of the left ear. There is also an air-bone gap in the right earat low frequencies (250 Hz). The tympanogram revealed a type A result in both ears. Positive results wereobtained on the examination of Romberg sharpened, positive Fukuda step to the right, and the Gans test. CTscan showed dehiscence of the right superior semicircular canal. Therapy in patients was given conservativetherapy because the participants refused to undergo surgery. Conclusion: SSCD has a specific symptom ofTullio’s phenomenon and CT scan shows dehiscence of the superior semicircular canal.

Abstract

Annotation. The article reveals validation studies of the method of quantitative analysis of high-performanceliquid chromatography of a complex and multicomponent original sedative drug produced in the Republic ofUzbekistan. Criteria for repeatability, accuracy, precision, intermediate accuracy and correlation coefficientsfor drug validation were determined. The analytical method for determining the number of tablets coveredwith a film “Sedarem” from the proportion of valeric acids in the main active ingredients of the drug wasdetermined on the basis of the 5th series of the “Accuracy” indicator. The accuracy of valeric acid is judgedfrom at least 5 data obtained for each of the 3 levels lying within the analytical domain of the quantificationmethod. Comparing the results of determining the amount of valeric acid, it turns out that there is nostatistically significant difference between them, that the three time points for each series are mutuallycompatible.The analysis procedure for determining the amount of phenolic compounds in the preparation, whencomparing “Precision” with the results of determining the amount of phenolic compounds at differentintervals and on different days, which characterizes repetition and “intermediate precision,” it was foundthat there is no statistical reliable difference between them, and three time points for each series are mutuallycompatible. Study of drug linearity from flavanoid fraction was carried out in the range from 80 to 120% ofnominal value of analytical parameters.

Abstract

Introduction: Here, we aim to compare the accuracy of the regression formula derived to predict genderusing data on measurements of foot and hand with the formula derived to predict gender using the lengthmeasurements data of the long bones (tibia and ulna).Methods: Patients attending the outpatient services at the Orthopedic Department, and between the agerange 18 to 50 years were recruited (n=1000; 500 males and 500 females). Subjects suffering from any kindof bone deformity were excluded. Vallois method was used to estimate the measurements of hand, foot,tibia, and ulna. Regression formulas were obtained from the hand, foot-long bones measurements; to predictgender, using multiple logistic regression.Results: Differences between male’s and female’s measurements of hand (P<0.001), long bones (P<0.001),and foot (P<0.001) were significant. The accuracy of the model used to predict gender, which was calculatedfrom the dimensions of hand and foot was 81.5%. The accuracy of the model used to predict gender calculatedfrom the long bone measurement was 78.3%.Conclusions: Dimensions of hand and foot are a better predictor (81.5%) of gender vs the length of longbones (tibia and ulna) (78.3%) in the Kolhapur population.

Abstract

This study was conducted to find out liver protective activity of naringin (NRG) 40-80 mg/kg body weight(b.w.) against acetaminophen (ACN) 2g/kg induced liver damage in rats. Thirty two male rats were dividedinto four groups : group1: negative control, (1 ml/kg Saline orally) group II: positive control ACN (2g/kg), orally as single dose at first day, group III: ACN (2g/kg), orally as single dose at first day , plus NRG(40 mg//kg) orally for (8) consecutive days, group IV: ACN (2g/kg), orally as single dose at first day , plusNRG (80 mg//kg) orally for (8) consecutive days. All the rats were anesthetized to collect blood then killedon the (9) day of the experiment to take the liver samples. ACN induced liver damage was proved by asignificant (P<0.01) reduction in the body weight , total protein (TP) , albumin (AB) , superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase (CAT) enzymes and a significant (P<0.01) increased in liver weight, serum aspartatetransaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TB), directbilirubin (DB) , malondialdehyde enzyme (MAD) and histopathological changes. Protective liver toxicityeffect and oxidative damage caused by ACN significantly (P<0.01) increasing in body weight, TP, AB ,SODand CAT and significantly (P<0.01) decreasing in liver weight , AST, ALT, ALP, TB, DB and MAD andimproving tissue morphology by a meliorative in NRG 40 , 80 mg/kg b.w. These results confirm that NRGantioxidant effects can protect ACN induced hepatic toxicity in rats.
