Abstract

Background: At present the health status of mothers and babies in Indonesia is still low, which is markedby high maternal mortality rate (MMR) and infant mortality rate (IMR). Mothers and families must be ableto carry out their roles and functions related to postnatal maternal health care and the health of their babies.Mother’s personal hygiene helps reduce the source of infection and increases the feeling of comfort in themother and thus increase the self-efficacy of postpartum mothers to care for their babies. The purpose ofthis study is to determine the direct and indirect influence of the role of health personnel, family support,physical conditions, sources of information and social environment to self-efficacy in postpartum mothersin maintaining personal hygiene at Pasir Mulya Health Center of Bogor City in 2017.Methods: This research study used cross-sectional design. The data collection with a total sample of 60participants was taken from questionnaires. The analysis method used was the Structural Equation Model(SEM) using SmartPLS 2.0.Conclusion: The self-efficacy variable of the postpartum mother in maintaining personal hygiene at PasirMulya Health Center of Bogor City was influenced by information source (2.61%), family support (6.39%),physical condition (31.62%), information source (39.40%) and social environment (24.72%). Total directand indirect influence of self-efficacy of postpartum mother in maintaining personal hygiene was 56.44%.Thestudy showed that when the mother received more information, then the self-efficacy will be higher. If apostpartum mother has high self-efficacy, the personal hygiene will improve as well and lower the maternaland infant mortality rate.

Abstract

Background: Cholinestrase inhibitor insecticides considered one of the most common causes of morbidityand mortality due to poisoning especially in developing countries like Egypt. This work aims to studythe possible role of Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK), Amylase, Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), C-ReactiveProtein (CRP) and blood sugar status in predicting the severity of acute cholinesterase inhibitor insecticidespoisoning at the time of admission.Subjects and Methods: This work was done at Poison Control Center of Ain Shams University Hospitals –Egypt, and was carried on 150 patients admitted with acute (CEI) insecticides poisoning. Clinical evaluationof the patients and poisoning severity was graded according to Peradynia organophosphorus poisoning(POP) scale, then venous blood sample was collected from patients and examined for CPK, Amylase, LDH,CRP and random blood sugar (RBS).There is significant increase of CPK, LDH, CRP RBS and amylase enzyme specially with increase theseverity in those patients admitted to ICU rather than inpatient, and in mechanically ventilated patientsrather than non mechanically ventilated and in died patients rather than survivors.Conclusion: CPK, Amylase, LDH, CRP and random blood sugar could be used to predict severity ofcholinesterase inhibitor insecticides poisoning. They can also predict ICU admission, mechanical ventilationneed and mortality. Amylase is a better predictor of respiratory failure and need of mechanical ventilation.

Abstract

Potassium sorbate, a potassium salt of sorbic acid, has been used as food preservative and antimicrobial agent.Some observations in rat and hamster cells suggest its toxicity. However, observations in human cells arelimiting. Therefore, it has been intended to investigate impacts of potassium sorbate on human lymphocytes.The lymphocytes were cultured and treated with 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mg/ml of potassium sorbate for 24 and48 h. Evaluations of its impacts were done through the MTT assay, analysis of chromosomal aberrations,formation of micronucleus and activities of superoxide dismutase. The results revealed that potassiumsorbate induced oxidative stress, genotoxicity, damages to chromosome, formation of micronucleus inhuman lymphocytes.

Abstract

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a common organic solvent that has been widely used in industrial applications.TCE is highly lipophilic and readily absorbed into the circulation following oral, dermal or inhalationexposure. The purpose of this study is to examine the alterations of p53 and Bcl-2 expression, chromosomeloss and catalase activity inhibition after treatment with TCE. Human lymphocytes were cultured withvarious doses of TCE for 24 h. Quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) technique, chromosome culture techniqueand catalase activity assay were performed in human lymphocyte cultures. The results of Quantitative RTPCR (qRT-PCR) analysis showed up-regulated expression in the experimental groups comparison with thecontrol groups of p53 gene [0.016 mM/L (1.4-fold) and Bcl-2 gene [0.008 mM/L (1.4-fold) and 0.016mM/L (1.6-fold)]. Loss of chromosome 8 and 22 were observed. Catalase activity was reduced whenTCE concentration increased (p<0.05). It is indicated that TCE effects on p53 and Bcl-2 gene expression,chromosome loss and catalase activity inhibition. These effects may lead to the onset of cancer in the future.

Abstract

Adolescence is considered as a difficult period filled with conflicts in search of self-autonomy, whichculminates the rediscovery of an individual towards adult life introduction. In addition to being sick thereare many other factors i.e. health care staff rotation, away from parents, experiencing pain during theprocedures, peer detachment and loss of self-esteem during hospitalization. The objective of the study wasto develop a scale for assessing resilience among children with Renal diseases. Methodological researchapproach was used for development of an effective Resilience Assessment Scale for children admitted withrenal diseases. Study was done on 75 children aged 10-18 years admitted with renal disease in MMIMS&RHospital, Mullana, Government Civil Hospital at Ambala and Kalpana Chawla Government Hospital atKarnal. The related review of literature ,experts guidance and investigator’s personal experience, a list offactors/domains were identified and compared with standardized Resilience scales i.e., Wagnild and YoungResilience assessment scale, Child and Youth Resiliency measure. Modified Delphi technique was used forContent validation of Resilience assessment scale with 9 experts Content validity was ascertained by expert’sopinion and was found to be 0.79.The range of rating score was 31-155 with the assumption that higherthe scores, the greater the resilience. At a cut-off point of ?102, the best balance between the sensitivityand specificity was achieved. Cronbach’s alpha and inter item correlation were used to measure internalconsistency of the tool, coefficient alpha was 0.81. Pearson correlation between resilience assessmentscale and Wagnild Young resilience scale was 0.84. In order to estimate stability test re-test reliability wascalculated and it came out to be 0.84.
