Abstract

Obstetrical emergencies are life threatening conditions that occur in pregnancy during labour and after delivery. It is common that approximately 15% of all pregnant women develop serious complication from conception to delivery. Obstetrical emergencies may turn catastrophic in women, so every little contribution to save maternal and neonatal life brings about reduction in maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. Among all the emergency situations which may arise across the field of obstetrics, there are small numbers which call urgent practical steps to be taken in order to safeguard the life of the mother or the baby or both. Emergency obstetric care is a set of critical lifesaving functions commonly called signal functions provided by a health care facility throughout the day and week. Obstetric complications can neither be predicted nor be prevented but can be managed by timely provision of life saving services. When obstetric emergencies occur, effective and efficient care by the health care professionals is essential for good outcome and safety. Diagnosis of serious situation to delivery interval should be less than 30 minutes; however, it is expected to be lengthy then appropriate measure should be taken to manage the obstetric complications. Prompt diagnosis , timely performed intervention and positive impact of maternal and neonatal management have significantly improved the maternal and neonatal outcome.

Informed consent form and structured proforma was handed over to children explaining the purpose of study. A structured proforma includes demographic data, oral hygiene practices, Dentition status & treatment need (WHO, 1997) of children. The study subjects were also provided with self-administered MDAS questionnaire to be filled by the parents consisting of 5 items to assess parental dental anxiety.Conclusion: Compared to children belonging to anxious parents, Children of non-anxious parents had less chances of having dental caries (Adjusted Odds ratio (OR) = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.336-1.010). More than 98% of study subjects were using toothbrush and toothpaste to brush their teeth once a day in horizontal scrubbing method. The caries experience among the study population was considerably less. The reason may be that the present study was conducted on school children and some school may be in the endemic fluoride region.

Abstract

Background: Sternum is the bone which gives a fair idea for the estimation of age in the later decadesof life. It is a well established fact that factors like endocrinal, heredity, climate, diatic habits have certaindegree of influence over bony union and it is also proved that epiphyseal union occurs one to two yearsearlier in females than in males. BMI (Body Mass Index) is defined as person’s weight in kilograms dividedby the square of height in meters. Methods: The aim of the study is to establish any Correlation of sex andBMI with the fusion of different parts of Sternum in Bengalees.120 sternums are studied in this study overa period of 1.5 years from the dead bodies of ‘Bengalee’ persons sent for Post Mortem examination in theHospital morgue, Department of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, N.R.S Medical College & Hospital,Kolkata. Concussion: There was no significant difference between male and female in respect to the agesshowing fusion. When the BMI of the subjects were compared with different grades of fusion between thesternal segments, significant statistical correlation was found between the fusion of sternebrae and the BMI,but fusion of Xiphisternum and Manubrium with Mesosternum did not show any statistically significantcorrelation. Sexual variation of ages for fusion of sternum was not found in ‘Bengalee’ population. Nutritionalstatus has a significant effect on the fusion of the sternebrae with each other, but no significant effect on thefusion of xiphisternum and manubrium with body of sternum.

Abstract

Introduction: This study we aimed to examine the effect ofExtended Parallel Process Model (EPPM) on thesexual self-control of female adolescents in Aliabad Kotoul in 2020.Methods: This experimental study with two intervention and control groups was conducted on 50 secondyearhigh school female students in Aliabad Katoul, who had been selected by simple random samplingmethod. In the intervention group, 8 training sessions (45-60 minutes each) were carried out in groups of 6-7people, based on the EPPM for 2 months. Data were collected in both groups before and after the intervention,and then were analyzed by SPSS-16 statistical software using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: Independent t-test did not show a significant difference between the intervention and control groupsbefore the intervention (P = 14.14) in terms of the score of sexual self-control, but after the intervention, itshowed a significant difference (P <0.01) between the two groups. Also, ANCOVA test showed a significantdifference between the two groups by removing the pre-test effect (p <0.01, Eta = 0.64), so that the EPPMwasable to increase the sexual self-control of samples in the intervention group.Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of EPPM, the results showed that if people understand thatthey are at high risk of disease or health problem, they will be more sensitive towards performing high-riskbehaviors. Therefore, increasing awareness and creating sensitivity can play an important role in controllingbehaviors.
