Abstract

World Health Organization defined accidents as ‘’ an unexpected, unplanned occurrence which may involve injury’’1.Only 28 countries, covering 7% of the world’s population, have comprehensive road safety laws on all five key risk factors: drinking and driving, speeding, and failing to use helmets, seat-belts, and child restraints as per the global status report on Road Safety 2013 by World Health Organization1. India is undergoing major economic and demographic transition coupled with increasing urbanization and motorization. Injuries on roads, at homes, and in the workplace have increased due to lack of safety-related policies and programs. The health sector bears the maximum brunt in terms of provision of acute care, and short-term and long term rehabilitation service. This study describes profile of motorcyclists’ victims in road traffic accidents observation done and they were compared with the previous studies.This study was conducted toanalyzethe sociodemographic profile of motorcycle crashes among total cases of RTA.During study period, a total number of 22618 patients were admitted to trauma centre, from which 10564 were road traffic accident cases, from which 25 % were two wheeler clashes.

Abstract

A clean and healthy lifestyle behavior (CHLB) in the household structure is essential to maintain and improve the health of family members. However, in its implementation, consistency is needed so that clean and healthy lifestyle behavior can be carried out optimally based on ten indicators of a CHLB of household arrangements that the government has set. Therefore, this research was conducted using a cross-sectional design with a quantitative descriptive study design—population in the sub-district of Banguntapan, Bantul District, consisting of 826 households. The sample of this study was collected using a technique with a random sampling sample of 100 families and data collection using primary data and secondary data, and field observations. Based on the ten indicators of a clean and healthy lifestyle in the household structure, four indicators have not been appropriately implemented, namely giving exclusive breastfeeding (21%), weighing babies and toddlers every month (14%), doing physical activities every day (34%), and not smoking in the home (23%), with clean and healthy lifestyle coverage in the excellent category (66%). Therefore, it can be concluded that the application of a clean and healthy lifestyle in the Banguntapan, Bantul, household characteristics is good (66%) but has not met the government’s target because four indicators of a clean and healthy lifestyle have not been implemented optimally.

Abstract

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1), first described by Von Recklinghausen (1882), is an autosomal dominant disease caused by a spectrum of mutations in NF-1 gene. We reported a case of giant facial neurofibromas in 26 years old male patient without family history of neurofibromatosis type 1. Features typical of neurofibroma, including an enlarged nerve fascicle composed of elongated nuclei and scant cytoplasmic cells, were identified. Excision was performed with preservation of parotid duct. The mass weight was about 5,5 kg. There were some challenges during the procedure, such as bleeding, hypovolemia, and preservation of vital structure.

Abstract

It is suspected that environmental exposure to non-syndromic oral clefts, which includes cleft lip (CL), cleft lip and palate (CLP) has an effect on epigenetic mechanisms, particularly deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation. DNA methylation will be expressed during facial morphogenesis and have an impact on facial development. This study aimed to observe differences in DNA methylation between CL and CLP, between CL mothers and CLP mothers, and correlation between CL and CL mothers, CLP and CLP mothers.This observational study used a sample of 13 patients diagnosed with CL and 14 patients diagnosed with CLP and their respective mothers. The test was performed using ELISA MethylFlashTM Global DNA Methylation (5-mC) ELISA Easy Kit (Colorimetric).The median DNA methylation at CLP was 1.92 (0.23 - 14.07) and CL was 1.71 (0.08 - 8.47) (p 0.752 > 0.05)). Median DNA methylation in CLP mothers was 0.997 (0.03 - 6.14) and in CL mothers 0.72 (0.23 - 6.16) (p 0.798 (p> 0.05). Correlation test for DNA methylation of CLP with CLP mother r = -0.259 and (p = 0.394 >0.05). Correlation test for DNA methylation of CL patients with CL mothers revealed r = -0.492 and (p = 0.087 > 0.05).The results of this study showed no difference in methylation between CL and CLP. This study found that DNA methylation between CL mothers and CLP mothers was relatively the same. This study also found no correlation between DNA methylation of CL and CL mothers, and between CLP and CLP mothers.

Abstract

Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) is closely related to the aging process, social development, and increased risk factors. The study aims to analyze the prevalence of NCD among the elderly in Indonesia based on demographic characteristics. The study employed the 2018 Indonesia Basic Health Survey data. The survey used the multi-stage cluster random sampling method; it was a weighted sample of 85,358 elderly. In this analysis, the NCDs prevalence in the elderly includes hypertension, heart disease, bronchial asthma, chronic renal failure, diabetes mellitus (DM), stroke, and cancer determined based on a doctor’s diagnosis. The study result shows the prevalence of NCD in the elderly population in Indonesia, most of which are hypertension, mental-emotional disorders, depression, DM, and heart disease. Based on age group, the prevalence of hypertension, mental-health disorders, and depression tends to increase with increasing age, stroke and bronchial asthma are higher in the 70-79. DM and cancer were higher in the 60-69. Heart disease and kidney failure did not differ relatively between age groups. The prevalence of hypertension, mental-emotional disorders, depression, DM, heart disease, and cancer was higher in women. Still, asthma, stroke, and chronic kidney failure tended to be more in men. The study concluded that the most prevalent NCDs among older people in Indonesia were hypertension, mental, emotional disorders, depression, DM, and heart disease. NCDs have demographic characteristics.

Abstract

Global estimates confirm the future need for more health cadres, including doctors. The study aims to investigate reasons to choose medicine as a career among students at a Turkish private medical school. A web-based cross-sectional study was conducted among the first-, second-and third-class medical students receiving education in the second semester of the 2017-2018 academic year at the BezmialemVakif University, Istanbul, Turkey. The universal sampling technique using a semi-structured questionnaire was recruited to collect the data. The SPSS 16.0 package used to analyze the data, and the statistically significant was considered at less than 0.05. The mean age of students was 20.3 + 4.3 years (range 18-23 years). More than half (57.3%) were females, and most of them (76.5%) lived with their parents. The majority (87.5%) of them inquired about medical college, and 85.1% of them won the medical school in the first trial. The main reasons to study medicine were personal preference(75.7%), studying medicine is appealing(52.4%),humanitarian profession(52.2%), the ready availability of work for physicians(42.2%), challenging carrier providing an opportunity to solve mysteries(40.8%), childhood dream(39.2%), profiting profession(35.7%), my parents’ vision and choice(31.8%), respectively. Almost the motives behind choosing to study medicine are similar across societies but different in the priorities.

Abstract

The etiology of peptic ulcer disease is multifactorial and remains an enigma over the last decades. The central parameter is the acid secretion; whose control is under the coordination of gastrin, acetylcholine, histamine, and prostaglandin. The treatment of peptic ulcers is a bi-armed tool, directed toward fighting microbial growth alongside acid suppression. However recent studies reported failure of the therapy due to recurrence of symptoms. Therefore, additional parameters should be considered including patient mood and psychological status. The present study aimed to introduce a new approach to the therapeutic regimen of ulcer disease using commonly used antidepressant drugs (fluvoxamine and fluoxetine) in a laboratory animal model of peptic ulcer induced by stress insult to act as a mood upset model in an attempt to mimic mood changes in human. The study was conducted on 4 groups of laboratory animals using control negative and control positive (misoprostol) against the tested drugs group (fluvoxamine and fluoxetine group). The result confirmed that fluvoxamine confers gastroprotective effects against ulcer insult compared to both fluoxetine or misoprostol groups. These results might significantly mean that antidepressant drugs could be utilized in peptic ulcer diseases or added at low doses to prevent ulcer insults due to whatever precipitating factors, such as, infection, alcohol, smoking, NSAIDs, and stress ulcer.
