Abstract

Background: Food is essential for the existence of all living organisms. The main purpose of food hygiene isto prepare and provide safe hygienic food and consequently contribute to a healthy family. Lack of adequatefood hygiene can lead to a number of food-borne diseases and death.Methods: A descriptive study design was adopted in order to assess the level of knowledge and practiceamong women regarding food hygiene. The tool used for this study was structured knowledge questionnaireand self-reported practice checklist. The content validity of the tool was established in consultation with 7experts. The reliability of the knowledge questionnaire was tested by split-half method and self-reportedpractice checklist by Cronbach’s Alpha. The reliability of the knowledge questionnaire was 0.8 and thepractice checklist was 0.9. Both the tool was found statistically significant. Data collected from the 132women were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using SPSS.Conclusion: The results revealed that majority of the women (80.4%) belong to age group of 20-30 years.There was a positive correlation found between food hygiene knowledge and practice. Majority of thewomen had good knowledge (77.3%) and had good practice (70.3%) towards food hygiene.

Abstract

Worldwide, Snakebite is an important and preventable health hazard in many of the tropical and subtropicalcountries. Death following snake bite is a cumulative effect of all the toxic reactions that are producedby the snake venom in the body of the victim.1Globally it is estimated that the true incidence of snakeenvenomation could exceed 3 million per year and about 1,00,000 of these develop severe sequelae. Withthis background, a study has been conducted to determine the pattern of snakebite death cases, autopsied atKIMS, Hubballi, Karnataka. The study revealed that maximum number of snakebite cases were recorded inthe rainy season (34.9%) followed by the winter season (31.7%).In a greater number of cases the incidenceof snake bite occurred predominantly in lower limb (54%) as compared to upper limb (46%).Peak incidenceof snake bite was recorded in the time between 08:00 am to 04:00 pm (41.3%) followed by 04:00 pmto midnight (30.2%). Majority of the cases were declared dead (47.61%) within 24 hours of initiation ofanti-snake venom. The cause of death in majority of the study population was respiratory failure (92.06%)followed by shock (7.93%).

Abstract

Background: Drug abuse among population have become more common than before, coffee shops workersare of increasing chance to drug abuse, the facing of such big problem necessitates collection of informationregarding the prevalence of drug abuse types and effects on health , and this will result in prevention of itshazardous on population at all.Patients and Methods: cross- sectional study during the the first day of April 2019 till the last day ofSeptember 2019 , one hundred and twenty coffee shop workers were included. The workers were chosenfrom 12 randomly selected coffee shops located in rural and in urban areas. The data were gathered through aquestionnaire and urine samples from participants. The collected samples were taken to the lab and screenedfor drug abuse using dip stick, thin layer chromatography (TLC) and gas chromatography (GC-MS). Thecollected data were organized, tabulated, and statistically analyzed using statistical package for socialscience (SPSS Inc, version 22).Results: the study showed that The prevalence of tramadol and cannabis and other synthetic drugs amongcoffee shop workers in urban and rural area nowdays more than before and their detection easily done byusing GC-MS. hazardous on health among abusers more than non abusers.Conclusion: The prevalence of drug abuse among coffee shop workers of increasing popular especiallytramadol , cannabis and other synthetic drugs, between all age groups in urban and rural area ,these drugsof abuse can be detected using dip stick , TLC and the most specific method of detection using GC-MS toconfirm the results. Countries should plan for facing this cancer due to its bad hazardous and consequenceson health , family and society .

Abstract

Cleft lip/palate (CL/P) is one of the most common birth defects in humans. Haploinsufficiency in genesBone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) 2 is thought to play an important role in the incidence of CL/P. Thisstudy aimed to identify changes in the nucleotide (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism/SNP) BMP 2 rs235768A>T gene in CL/P patient in Indonesia. Seventy samples of DNA that were successfully amplified andrestricted consisted of patient and control samples with the three of which were used for sequencing. Basedon the analysis using restriction enzymes and Finch TV and Bioedit software programs, this study identifieda change from nucleotide A to nucleotide T which is a mutation missense (Serine-Arginine/TCA-TCT).Based on the results of the Fisher’s exact test, there was difference in genotype frequency between the CL/Pgroup and the control. Meanwhile, there was no difference in allele frequencies between the two groups. Theallele frequency T has a higher value than the frequency of the allele A.

Abstract

Background: Despite the use of prophylactic antibiotic and sterilization techniques and nemours methodsof wound care, post appendectomy wound infection is still high.Methods: Arandomized controlstudy (RCS) has been implied to prove, whether uses of povidone iodinejust prior to wound suturing could decrease surgical wound infection rates after surgery for appendectomy.Atotal number of 120 patients operated for cute appendicitis with open appendectomy at AL-MawaniTeachingHospital during the period from march 2016 to October 2020.Results: After appendectomy patients was randomize into three groups, group A which include 40 patientsthe subcutaneous tissue was irrigated with 1% diluted povidone-iodine solution before skin closure.Group B which contained other 40 patients the wound has been washed with normal saline, and in groupC(controlgroup) no irrigation was done.All patients were followed for surgical site infection according toSouthampton wound grade system for ten days after surgery.In this study we notice that areductionhappenedin the number of wound infection in group Acompare with group B and C.Conclusion: The uses of povidone iodine 1% before skin closure is an effective method in reducing the rateof infection of the wound after surgery for acute appendicitis.
