Attitude of adolescent school students towards reproductive health education

Background: Adolescence is a life’s crucial transition phase with establishment of reproductive capacity. Sexual experimentations and lack of Reproductive Health information during this phase expose adolescents to serious health threats. Adolescents should have access to scientific Reproductive Health information to develop healthy attitude towards Reproductive Health issues. This study was undertaken to find out attitude of adolescent school students towards Reproductive Health Education and to identify communication pattern regarding reproductive health issues . Methods: The study was cross sectional and carried out on 500 Adolescent Higher secondary school students in Solapur city. Pre-tested & Self-administered Questionnaire was used for collection of data. Results: This study showed that students had favourable attitude towards Reproductive Health Education as majority (84.8%) of them recommended Reproductive Health Education in school curriculum. Lecture by expert was noted by 47% students as desired method of imparting Reproductive Health Education. Regarding Reproductive Health issues, 52.4% students preferred to communicate with Doctors/Health Workers followed by friends (35.6%) . Conclusions: Our study stressed the need of providing correct scientific information to adolescents regarding reproductive health by incorporating Reproductive Health Education in school curriculum.

Physical Health Symptoms in Peacekeepers: Has the Role of Deployment Stress Been Overrated?

ABSTRACT Using a prospective design, physical health symptoms were examined in a sample of 198 peacekeepers. At pre-deployment, general life stressors and pre-deployment stress symptoms were significant predictors of physical health symptoms. At post-deployment, physical health symptoms were predicted by pre-existing physical health symptoms and stress symptoms reported before and after the mission; mission-related stressors were not associated with physical health symptoms. In addition, stress symptoms mediated the relationship between exposure and physical symptoms. Finally, the hyperarousal symptom cluster was a better predictor of physical health complaints than the other symptom clusters. Implications and limitations are discussed.
An LRU-based replacement algorithm augmented with frequency of access in shared chip-multiprocessor caches

This paper proposes a new replacement algorithm to protect cache lines with potential future reuse from being evicted. In contrast to the recency based approaches used in the past (LRU for example), our algorithm also uses the notion of frequency of access. Instead of evicting the least recently used block, our algorithm identifies among a set of LRU blocks the one that is also least-frequently-used (according to a heuristic) and chooses that as a victim. We have implemented this replacement algorithm in a detailed simulation model of a chip multiprocessor system driven by SPEC2000 benchmarks. We have found that the new scheme improves performance for memory intensive applications. Moreover, as compared to other attempts, our replacement algorithm provides robust improvements across all benchmarks. We have also extended an earlier scheme proposed by Wong and Baer so it is switched off when performance is not improved. Our results show that this makes the scheme much more suitable for CMP configurations.
Neonatal screening for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency.

Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is the most severe form of primary immunodeficiency. This syndrome is caused by genetic mutations that block the development of T cells. Based on the records from a combined prospective data analysis from the neonatal screening program in the United States of America, the incidence of SCID is approximately 1 in 58,000 infants. The early diagnosis of SCID before any clinical symptom or the occurrence of serious complications is proven to improve the survival rates after the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which is the recommended treatment. This literature review aims at analysing all the advantages and disadvantages of the implementation of SCID testing in the neonatal screening programs. The presentation of SCID, the available screening methods to detect the disease and the cost effectiveness related to the screening are also presented. The search engine used to conduct this review was PubMed. To conclude, the screening method for SCID that quantifies the T-cell receptor excision circles using reverse transcription for real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction is proven to be cost-effective has a sensitivity and specificity of nearly 100% and allows to detect the disease at an early stage, while it still has a good prognosis. This method has already been implemented in some countries with good results. *Corresponding author: Gonçalo Espírito Santo Matos, Abel Salazar Institute of Biomedical Sciences, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal, Tel: +351968728278; E-mail: goncaloespiritosantomatos@gmail.com Received: May 24, 2018; Accepted: July 09, 2018; Published: July 16, 2018 Citation: Matos GES, Marques L (2018) Neonatal Screening for Severe Combined Immunodeficiency.

Care of the Patient Undergoing Sex Reassignment Surgery

SUMMARY Sex reassignment surgery (SRS) has proven to be an effective intervention for the patient with gender dysphoria. As with any surgery, the quality of care provided before, during, and after SRS has a significant impact on patient outcomes. This article is intended to help primary care providers who are already familiar with routine transgender care to understand the specialized processes involved in SRS. Topics include guidelines for the recommendation of SRS, feminizing and masculinizing surgical procedures, suggested timelines for various interventions, expected course and recovery, risks and complications, and revisional surgery that may be required.
A comparative prospective study to assess the efficacy and safety of iron sucrose versus iron sorbitol citric acid in pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia in a tertiary care hospital

Background: The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is 58% among pregnant women in developing countries. According to the recent national guidelines, intramuscular iron sorbitol citric acid (ISCA) complex is one of the firstline drugs for treating moderate IDA in pregnancy. A novel intravenous preparation, iron sucrose promises to be more effective as it causes faster replenishment of iron stores and rapid rise of hemoglobin (Hb). Aims and Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of iron sucrose versus ISCA complex in IDA of pregnant women. Materials and Methods: A total of 127 pregnant women whose Hb between 7 and 9 g/dl were recruited in the study. They were randomized into two groups to receive iron sucrose (intravenous) and ISCA (I.M), respectively. Hematological parameters were measured at baseline, 4 weeks and 8 weeks of treatment. Results: Mean rise in Hb and serum ferritin from baseline was 3.15 ± 0.08 (P < 0.0001) and 14.1 ± 2.6 (P < 0.0001) at the end of 8 weeks, respectively, with ISCA. Mean rise in Hb and serum ferritin from baseline was 3.36 ± 0.06 (P < 0.0001) and 16.28 ± 3.1 (P < 0.0001) at the end of 8 weeks with iron sucrose. 18% and 42% of pregnant women in iron sucrose and ISCA group experienced side effects, respectively. Conclusion: The rise in hemoglobin and serum ferritin was significant in iron sucrose group with fewer adverse effects. Hence, iron sucrose can be a safe and effective agent in the treatment of IDA in pregnancy.

Cooperative force control in carrying an object by two humans

Robots are expected to be human-friendly and to execute tasks cooperating with humans. Control system for the robots should be constructed so as to work adapting with human characteristics. In this paper, human characteristics in a cooperation task by two humans are analyzed and it is shown that the human performance can be expressed by impedance control. The authors also investigate the characteristics based on passivity. The results show that the passivity is high in a few seconds after the movement commences and before the movement ceases, and is low during high velocity interval.
Etude ethnobotanique des plantes médicinales dans la région de Mechraâ Bel Ksiri (Région du Gharb du Maroc)

Une etude ethnobotanique des plantes medicinales a ete realisee dans le cercle de Mechraâ Bel Ksiri (Region du Gharb). Elle a ete faite dans le but d’etablir le catalogue des plantes medicinales et de reunir toutes les informations concernant les usages therapeutiques pratiques par la population locale dans la region etudiee. A l’aide de 280 fiches questionnaires, les enquetes ethnobotaniques sur le terrain ont ete menees pendant deux campagnes (2006 et 2007). Les resultats obtenus ont permis de recenser 149 plantes medicinales qui se repartissent en 127 genres et 52 familles parmi lesquelles six sont les plus dominantes, notamment les Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Apiaceae, Poaceae, Solanaceae et Fabaceae. Ils montrent que le feuillage et la graine constituent les parties les plus utilisees et la majorite des remedes est preparee sous forme de decoction. Sur le plan des maladies traitees, les troubles metaboliques occupent la premiere place avec un taux de 22,6 5%, suivies des affections digestives (16,02 %), des troubles uro-genitales (10,49 %) et des affections cutanees (8,84 %). Les resultats obtenus constituent une source d’informations tres precieuse pour la region etudiee et pour la flore medicinale nationale. Ils pourraient etre une base de donnees pour les recherches ulterieures dans les domaines de la phytochimie et de la pharmacologie et dans le but de chercher de nouvelles substances naturelles.
Estudo da ocorrência de infecção hospitalar em cães e gatos em um centro cirúrgico veterinário universitário

Hospital or nosocomial infections are infections acquired during patient hospitalization, and that can be related to surgical and invasive procedures performed during the hospital admission. The present study aimed to investigate the occurrence of nosocomial infection in animals treated at a Veterinary Surgical Center of Small Animals, submitted to surgical or invasive procedures, to discuss the possible causes of infection, to detect the bacteria present when possible, and to verify the antimicrobial sensitivity of these agents. The study was developed through daily monitoring of 131 animals admitted in this surgical center and doing active surveillance of cases of nosocomial infection. In 104 animals (91 dogs and 13 cats), 113 surgical procedures were performed, and in 27 animals were performed non-surgical procedures such monitoring of delivery and postpartum, urethral catheterization and placement of splints. All animals were submitted to catheter placement for fluid therapy and application of medications and/or anesthetic at some point during hospitalization. The rate of surgical site infection was 7.96%, and by categories was 4.54% in clean surgeries, 4.25% in clean-contaminated surgeries, 10.53% in contaminated surgeries, and 16% in infected surgeries. The rate of non-surgical nosocomial infection in surgical patients was 2.88% and in the non-surgical patient was 3.7%. Bacteria were cultured as follows: Pseudomonas sp. (3), Streptococcus sp. (2), Acinetobacter sp. (1) and Gram negative bacilli (1), and high bacterial multidrug resistance were observed in all isolates. The duration of surgery and pre and postoperative time of hospitalization did not affect the occurrence of nosocomial infection, but factors that probably contributed to the occurrence of infections in this study were the severity of the condition responsible for the treatment, the kind of procedure performed and the severity of lesions.
Detecting Rates, Trends and Determinants of Cesarean Section Deliveries in Iran Using Generalized Additive Mixed Models

Background: The present study aimed to investigate the trend of cesarean section and its related factors through the recent years. Methods: The study data containing delivery information from Hamadan hospitals and are recorded from 2001 to 2014. The data were analyzed through the generalized additive mixed models using R software (v. 3.2.2). Results: cesarean rate in this study was about 42%. According to the results, the trend of cesarean deliveries almost increased in the recent years. A significant relationship was found between the average age and elective cesarean rate, but, the pregnancy rate didn’t have a significant effect on the elective cesarean rate. Conclusion: Cesarean section rate was more than the allowed limit by world health organization (WHO) that is 15%. Although cesarean delivery is preferred to natural vaginal delivery in the case the mother’s or infant’s life is in danger, it should not replace natural delivery for any reason. Natural vaginal delivery can be promoted by providing the society with the knowledge about the advantages of natural delivery and complications of cesarean section.
Closed Versus Open Lateral Internal Sphincterotomy in Treatment of Chronic Anal Fissure: A Comparative Study -

Background: An anal fissure is a common and painful disorder. The most common surgical treatment of a chronic anal fissure is lateral internal sphincterotomy with either open or closed methods, associated with a risk of pain, bleeding, recurrence and incontinence. Objectives: This study was designed to compare the results of an open and closed technique of lateral internal sphincterotomy in the treatment of chronic anal fissures. Patients and Methods: One hundred patients with a chronic anal fissure were admitted to the surgical unit of Tikrit Teaching Hospital, during the period of Jan. 2011 to Jan. 2012, treated by open or closed lateral internal sphincterotomy. The patients were followed up for a period of 12 months after surgery. The results of treatment were evaluated with reference to postoperative complications and outcomes. Results: Out of the 100 patients included in the study, 50 patients underwent open lateral internal sphincterotomy and the other 50 patients were subjected to closed lateral internal sphincterotomy. There was a significant difference in postoperative complications. However, incontinence was 20% in the open method and 8% in the closed method, the recurrence rate being 12% in open and 8% in closed methods; and the infection was 8% in open and 2% in the closed method. Conclusion: Closed lateral internal sphincterotomy is the treatment of choice for a chronic anal fissure with an acceptable complications rate.
Age and Gender Specific Variations in Attitudes to Performance Enhancing Drugs and Methods. A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract Background: Little is known about age and gender specific attitudes to performance enhancing drugs and methods or other characteristics by which attitudes may vary. Methods: Using a population based cross-sectional sample of 1,703 Danish men and women aged 15-60 years, the present study examined age and gender variation in attitudes to performance enhancing drugs and methods. Response rate was 34 %. Information on attitudes was collected by questionnaire. Results: Overall, participants held negative attitudes to drugs and methods enhancing predominantly cognitive abilities enhancing performance drugs and to appearance modifying methods, but were positive to drugs for restoring physical functioning conditions. However, attitudes varied nonlinearly across age. Lenient attitudes peaked at age around 25 and subsequently decreased. Lenient attitudes to use of drugs against common disorders decreased in a linear fashion. No gender differences were observed and attitude did not vary with level of education, self-reported health or weekly hours of physical activity. Conclusion: The present study expands existing knowledge about attitudes toward PEDM with respect to age and gender specific differences. Future studies should take age variations into account, when examining attitudes to PEDM in the general population.
Étude génomique et fonctionnelle de la dérégulation du gène HMGA2 dans les tumeurs adipocytaires

Les tumeurs adipocytaires (TA) benignes sont majoritairement constituees par les lipomes, alors que les TA malignes sont principalement des Tumeurs Lipomateuses Atypiques (TLA)/ liposarcome (LPS) bien differencies (LBD) et les LPS dedifferencies (LDD). Le gene HMGA2 (High Mobility Group A2) est remanie dans certains lipomes et amplifie dans les TLA/LBD et LDD. Ainsi, nous avons emis l’hypothese que HMGA2 jouait un role fondamental dans la genese des TA benignes et malignes. En faveur de cette hypothese, nous avons observe une surexpression constante de HMGA2 dans les TLA/LBD et LDD avec amplification de HMGA2 et les lipomes avec remaniement de HMGA2. Dans un cas de lipomatose, hypertrophie pathologique du tissu adipeux sans anomalie du gene HMGA2, une surexpression de HMGA2 etait associee a une inhibition de l’expression de plusieurs microARN let-7. En revanche, nos travaux ne sont pas en faveur d’un role preponderant des microARN let7 dans la surexpression de HMGA2 dans les TA. Nous nous sommes egalement interesses aux genes partenaires de fusion avec HMGA2 dans les lipomes et avons notamment identifie une nouvelle fusion impliquant PPAP2B (Phosphatidic Acid Phosphatase type 2B) localise en 1p32. Nous avons aussi confirme le role du gene NFIB (9p22) dans les lipomes. Enfin, nous avons etabli des correlations pronostiques dans une grande serie de 116 TLA/LBD et LDD : l’amplification de HMGA2 etait associee a l’histotype TLA/LBD et a une survie longue alors que les amplifications de CDK4 et JUN sont associees au type LDD et une survie courte. Ainsi, nos donnees confortent l’hypothese d’un role precoce et majeur de HMGA2 dans la genese des TA bien differenciees.
Alone and at risk: A statistical profile of alcohol-related college student deaths

ABSTRACT This study profiles college students who died an alcohol-related death. Estimates of the scope of these mortality rates have received publicity but we know little about the nature of who, when, where, and how they perished. Using data derived from a website and accompanying news stories and obituaries, we constructed details about roughly 500 of these deaths. Being male, Greek, and enrolled in a four year, public institution increased the mortality odds for students. A large majority of these deaths occurred while students were alone following a drinking bout. Most students‘ perished while falling, drowning, being hit by a vehicle, or experiencing alcohol poisoning. Criminal charges were levied in one-third of these cases and families filed lawsuits in fourteen percent of these cases. Details surrounding these deaths suggest that intervention strategies center on ways in which schools and communities can partner to develop a system so that college drinkers are buddied up and can receive help when they need it.
