Abstract

Background and Objectives: Otolaryngologists usually encounter foreign bodies pediatricians, and preliminary care physicians. In this study,determining the prevalence of foreign body types in the ear, nose, and throat is the goal.Methods: This study is a descriptive-analytic kind of study based on hospital information that was taken from patients with foreign bodies in ear, throat, and nose referred to ENT Emergency Department of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ahvazduring 1396 and 1397.Registered hospital records are used to determine the number of patients with foreign bodies in the ear, throat, and nose. Also, Socio-demographic data were collected prospectively using a pre-designed questionnaire. Descriptive and analytical statistical methods (using SPSS version 22.0) were used to input and analyze data collected from 4257 patients. Conclusion: Foreign bodies in the ears, nose, or throat are frequent in the emergency services of otorhinolaryngology (ENT). The most common site of FB accommodation is in the Throat. FB of the ear, nose, and throat should be handled properly to avoid complications.

Abstract

Mycotoxins are secondary by-products of mold metabolism and are accountable for human and animal mycotoxicosis. The most serious trichothecenic mycotoxin is the fungal T-2 mycotoxin. T-2 mycotoxin impaired nutrient absorption, metabolism, and then, eliciting severe oxidoreductive stress. Diet plays a key role beyond the supply of nutrients in order to promote animal and human health. Organic acids have been commonly used to exert antioxidative stress capacity in the liver and gut ecosystem. This study is planned to explore, the competence of using (X-MoldCid®) during chronic T-2 mycotoxicosis course in rat. Rats were allocated into 4 main groups, (CN-Gr), negative control and was allowed for the free access to the normal rats chow and the tap water for 90 days. (OAC-Gr), which was assigned as the organic acids positive control and was allowed for the free access to normal rat chow and (X-MoldCid®) in the tap water for 90 days .Group 3 or (T2-Gr) and was given the T2 contaminated chow ad libitum and group 4 (T2+OAC-Gr) .Each one of the four groups was subdivided into two subgroups (n=7) that one was sacrificed on day 45 (Subgroup A) meantime the remaining rats (Subgroup B) maintained until finishing of the entire study period (90 days). In T2 intoxicated group, liver histopathological findings revealed, lesions of reversible types (hydropic and fatty degenerations) while intestinal histopathological findings revealed, lesions of hyperactive goblet cells with sever slaughing of epithelia. In T2+OAC-Gr, the ultimate efficacy of organic acids success in limiting the apoptotic activity and preventing hepatic necroinflammatory changes which were in accordance with the improvement of antioxidative status, liver and intestinal function enzymes and other serum biochemical estimated tests. The total results of this study have been clarified the regenerative and antioxidant potentials of (X-MoldCid®) in coping with T2-toxin mediated intestinal lesions and hepatotoxicityin rats.

Abstract

Background: Oral health problems, including periodontal tissue problems, are important issues that need attention because they can affect a person’s quality of life and performance. The prevalence of the periodontal disease in all age groups in Indonesia is 96.58%. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of periodontal disease on adolescent physical performance. Method: This research was conducted in an analytic observational manner. The population of this research is adolescents aged 12-14 years in junior high schools in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia as many as 101 students. Data collection used the Modified Gingival Index (MGI) method and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The data analysis used was the ETA correlation test. Result: In the distribution of dental health knowledge, most of the respondents had a low level of knowledge of 88.1%, low physical activity of 44.6%, and good gingival health based on the Modified Gingival Index of 52.5%. Conclusion: There is a significant difference in the level of respondents’ Modified Gingival Index based on the respondent’s experience of getting dental and oral care and the last time he received dental and oral care.

Abstract

The present study was carried out to determine the clinical profile of patients presenting with the history of poisoning admitted to the casualty in a tertiary care hospital.The commonest agents involved in the poisoning were due to pesticides followed by therapeutic drugs, of these majority of cases, involved antiinflammatory, analgesic, anti-histamines followed by Sedatives/ hypnotics; accounted for almost half.Among the pesticides, maximum poisoning was due to organophosphates followed by zinc phosphide. It is important to know the nature of poisoning in order to take appropriate preventive measures. Therefore, the knowledge of the general pattern of poisoning in a particular region will be a useful tool in planning and management/proper treatment of critically ill poisoning cases.

Abstract

Background: In this study we shall deal with the early complications after thyroid surgery and compare the complication rate with the extent of resection (subtotal, near total and total thyroidectomy). Patients and Methods: Early complications after thyroid surgery were studied in A prospective study in One hundred patients. Data was collected in the pre-designed proforma. And they are classified according to age and sex of the patients, clinical conditions and training state of the surgeon. Descriptive statistics was used to calculate frequency of each complication in the early post-thyroidectomy period. Results: Most of the patients were females and lie at the (30-39) age group. Clinically, most of them are presented with simple multinodular goitre. Subtotal thyroidectomy is the most commonly used type of resection. The frequency of complications after total thyroidectomy is more than other types. And identification of the (RLN) will minimize the incidence of injury. These complications were (4%) tension haematoma, (11%) hypocalcaemia, (4%) respiratory obstruction, (8%) developed recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis, (2%) superior laryngeal nerve paralysis, and (1%) wound infection. Surgeon’s experience is so important, in which there is less complications when the operation is performed by a consultant surgeon. Conclusions: Surgery may be associated with significant numbers of post-operative complications according to the type of surgery. Total thyroidectomy confers certain advantages over less extended procedures, but it is associated with higher morbidity. Due to the risk of an unsuspected malignancy and goiter relapse following conservative surgery and increased risk of complications following reoperation, total thyroidectomy is emerging as an attractive surgical option.

Abstract

Background: Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) is well-recognized for the treatment of various mental disorderswith many efficacy trials supporting its use; however, there is little discussion of its use in mental health nursing practices. In fact, there is no validated tool to measure the competency of student nurses in administering Interpersonal psychotherapy. Objective: This study was aimed at developing a validated tool to measure the competency of student nurses to administer Interpersonal Psychotherapy. Methods:The competency tool comprised of 30 items which were developed under three phases of IPT i.e. Initial, Middle and Termination Phase. A sample size of 100 nursing students from four different nursing colleges of Punjab were enrolled for the study. General and specific competencies of the participants while delivering interpersonal psychotherapy was assessed on a five-point rating scale after giving one-week training on Interpersonal psychotherapy. KMO measure, Bartlett test, Multiple correlation analysis and exploratory factor analysis were employed for data analysis using SPSS 20 version. Results:The IPT competency tool for student nurses wasdeveloped after thorough literature review and IPT trainings. The tool was validated by six experts with a content validity ratio 0.91. Based on the factor analysis results, the attributesof tool did not meaningfully merge into factors in initial, middle and termination phase of Interpersonal psychotherapy competency rating scale. The total variance among the factors came between 70 to 80%.It was concluded that the list of attributes under each phase are independent and valid to include in the IPT competency tool for student nurses. Conclusion: IPT competency tool for nurses is a valid tool to measure student nurses’ competency to administer IPT.
