Abstract

Male fertility can be defined as the ability of the male reproductive system to impregnate a woman, whileinfertility is the condition of a married couple who have been married for one year or more and have had sexualintercourse regularly or without using contraception but do not have a pregnancy or offspring. About 10% ofmarried couples experience infertility. The main organ of male reproduction is the testes because in the testesthe process of forming spermatozoa and the hormone testosterone occurs. The hormone testosterone plays adirect role in the continuity of spermatogenesis. Testosterone is produced through a series of steroidogenesismechanisms in testicular Leydig cells. Several factors influence the course of steroidogenesis such as Leydigcells, steroidogenesis proteins, related genes to the influence of free radicals. These factors are closelyrelated to diet and lifestyle. This study is important to understand in efforts to prevent infertility in men.

Abstract

Background: If you truly believe that every mother and every child deserve the best possible care, whetheror not the newborn comes into this world or during that time or after, that means that you are with us on thesame train. The study aims to assess nurses’ knowledge about MCH; and determine the relationship betweennurses’ knowledge and their demographic characteristics.Methods: A descriptive study was used to guide this study. The study included a convenience sample of(98) nurses.Data were collection using a self-report questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the statistical package forsocial science. The descriptive and inferential statistical measures were used.The study results revealed that nurses have a moderate knowledge. Nurses’ education, years of experience,and training courses significantly correlate with their knowledge.Conclusion : Nurses’ knowledge about maternal and childcare were moderate and their knowledge wereinfluenced by educational level, years of experience, and training. Longer years of experiences in maternaland childcare and more training on MCH program help to increase their knowledge.

Abstract

Patients with HIV_AIDS have an increased risk to develop neurological disorders include a complicationof intracerebral mass. Primary CNS tumors in this condition are rare and difficult to diagnose because it hasuncommon presentation, unusual tumor growth and manifests at a young age in a patient with HIV-AIDS.Advanced imaging techniques with contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance scans should be used to guidediagnosis in this condition. in a patient with HIV-AIDS, biopsy should be carried out if standard imagingshowed atypical features or in a patient who has a poor response to empirical treatment for neurotoxoplasmosis.In this case, we reported a case of A 26 years old male with HIV-AIDS with neurological deficits who laterdiagnosed with glioblastoma.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is significant global treat including to pregnant woman in Indonesia.A point-of-care diagnostic tool that is able to early diagnose and hasa good sensitivity and specificity iscritical during the pandemic. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, laboratory and outcomesof pregnant women with presumptive COVID-19 and to compare the sensitivity and specificity betweenCOVID-19 rapid test (lateral flow immunoassay) and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chainreaction (RT-PCR). Pregnant women with presumptive COVID-19 symptoms were recruited at ArifinAchmad General Hospital between April 2020 and December 2020. Demographic and clinical data werecollected and patients were tested with COVID-19 rapid test as well as RT-PCR. Analyze was conducted todetermine the sensitivity and specificity. We included 120 patients with presumptive COVID-19 of which48 (40%) and 72 (60%) of patients were reactive for IgM and IgG antibody anti severe acute respiratorysyndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), respectively and 51 (42.5%) were reactive for both IgM and IgG.The sensitivity and the specificity of rapid test was 64.0% and 33.3%, respectively. The positive and negativepredictive value was 61.5% and 35.7%, respectively. In conclusion, lateral flow immunoassay-based rapidtest has relatively low sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing COVID-19 in pregnant women.

Abstract

Varicella pneumonia is a common complication in adults, while it is a mild and self-limiting disease inchildren. Elderly patients may have severe manifestations compared to adults due to the weakening oftheir immune system in clearing the virus. Treatment with intravenous acyclovir and varicella-zosterimmunoglobulin (VZIG) offers a good prognosis, while the use of steroids is still debated. Despite standardmanagement, our case presents a fatality in an older woman with varicella pneumonia.

Abstract

Skull identification is extremely important in today’s society, especially in medico-legal circumstances. As aresult, all technological advancements in this field can contribute to the growing need for precise and robusttools that allow for the establishment and verification of human identity. Identification of skulls when all otherproof and evidence are destroyed or limited requires the usage of facial reconstruction for the forensic team.The facial graphics serve as an emphasis for public attention to specifics of the case to generate additionalinvestigative guidance. The physical appearance of the face is at its best a significant cause for the purposefulidentification and communication to the investigating authorities of knowledge. Human identification is oneof the most remarkable approaches in the field of forensic medicine. The identification mission is performedin the field of forensic anthropology by the examination of the skeletal remains. Anthropologists have beenpaying attention to improve the techniques that allow accurate and clearer identification. Therefore, forensicidentification has become an active field of study and skull detection has emerged as a vital source foridentification. Skull identification is attracted and applied in many forensic areas. This review articleis asummation of the various facial reconstruction approaches and their role in forensic science to identify theindividual.

Abstract

Background of the Study: Oral health care professionals must be able to identify various cardiac diseasesand its associated post-operative dental emergencies to adopt the appropriate measures to treat themefficiently and effectively. A comprehensive dental treatment plan should be constructed keeping in view allthe possible complications related to the post-operative cardio-thoracic surgical factors.Aim: This study was aimed to determine the knowledge, attitude and awareness towards dental treatmentand their management following Cardio-thoracic surgeries among the dental students at undergraduate andpostgraduate level.Methodology: A cross sectional survey was conducted using self-administered questionnaires, throughGoogle forms among 100 dental students from Tamil Nadu India. Statistics has been done and results aretabulated.Results: The overall knowledge towards various cardio-thoracic surgical procedures carried out and theirdental management among dental students was only 65% and 45% for postgraduates and interns grouprespectively.Conclusion: The present study showed lack of awareness with limited knowledge and attitude towardsvarious cardiac-thoracic surgical procedures carried out and their corresponding dental management amongthe dental students especially at the undergraduate level. Hence enlightening and educating the students onseveral post-surgical management phases at the undergraduate level is essential for effective and efficienttreatment outcome and increase the quality of life.

Abstract

Gunshot injury remains relevant at the present time and requires serious study. During the examination ofa gunshot injury, it is necessary to answer the investigator’s questions about the cause of death, the typeand rate of thanatogenesis, the distance of the shot, the sequence and mechanism of damage formation, andthe severity of the injury. The aim of the study was to determine the type of thanatogenesis in death fromvarious types of gunshot injuries. Standard methods of sectional research, forensic histological methods,morphological and statistical analysis, supplemented with semi-quantitative technologies of thanatogeneticanalysis were used in the study. The material for this study was 85 cases of death from gunshot injuries,which was distributed by gender, age, location of the injury, type and rate of thanatogenesis, type of gunshotinjury (bullet and shotgun wounds), the distance of the shot and the duration of hospital stay.
