Malaria remains a major health challenge in Nigeria despite efforts at reducing its prevalence. Previous studies on malaria focused mainly on the biomedical aspects. However, little is known about the role of faith-based organisations in malaria management. Health Belief Model (HBM) provided the framework explaining mothers understanding of malaria illness, while exploratory and descriptive designs were utilized. The study was conducted among selected mothers of under-five children in Osogbo using the qualitative method comprising twelve focus group discussions (FGDs); six among mothers 15-35years (three each among literates and non-literates); six among mothers 35years and above (three each among literates and non-literates mothers). Qualitative data were content analysed. Malaria treatment behaviour of the mothers was a complex process, assisted by faith-based organisations through the provision of insecticides treated net (ITNs), awareness campaigns, routine immunization of pregnant mothers, and more. However, hording militated against the effective use of ITNs by mothers in malaria management. This finding corroborates common understanding that faith-based organisations play important role in malaria management by actually providing biomedically accepted resources which led to the reduction of mosquito spread, hence increases the chances of the survival of both children and mothers. Therefore, increased collaboration between government and faith-based organisations is needed to improve malaria management facilities and avail mothers with appropriate education on malaria management strategies to reduce complications from malaria.
Male Circumcision: A Neglected but Institutionalised Way of Value Orientation in Indigenous Ngas Society, Plateau State, Nigeria
Authors: Gomos Jurji Nengak
Published: February 2024

In this paper, the researcher discovered that prior to the contact between the Ngas society and the Western civilisation, the society like any other African societies had their institutionalised ways of inculcating its values to the younger ones. Through this medium, the younger boys were trained and taught the cherished cultural beliefs, goals, traditions and values of the society. However, this contact had negative consequences on the way these cultural values are passed down to the young Ngas boys because new methods of learning were introduced based on the Western model. This study also hinges on the application of anthropological and ethnography survey guided by in depth interview and Secondary sources of data. The researcher used both the qualitative and quantitative Methods of data analysis and interpretation of the data collected. On the results and findings, the researcher discovered that Vwang as an institution of value orientation is as old as the Ngas society. The young boys learned under the tutelage of traditionalist instructors and care givers. The training helped the boys to develop and take responsibilities in the society either socially, politically, religiously or morally. The paper argued as part of its recommendation, that the government should reviewed the present curriculum content in our primary and Secondary schools just as the case of the Universities so that they will also have 30% of the local content which will reflect the culture, tradition, history and values of their respective societies
Assessment of Primary Health care Facilities on readiness for Antenatal Care and Childhood Immunization Services in Zamfara State, Nigeria
Authors: Yankuzo Kabiru Ibrahim
Published: February 2024

Effective maternal and child healthcare delivery centers on availability of essential medical equipment, drugs and trained medical personnel in health facilities. Poor funding, inadequate supply of physicians, essential equipment and drugs as well as mismanagement characterized healthcare delivery system in Nigeria. This study assessed public primary health care facilities on readiness of Antenatal Care (ANC) and childhood immunization services in Zamfara State, Nigeria. Based on theoretical orientation of Political Economy of Health Care, quantitative and qualitative data
were used for the study. Descriptive statistic was used for quantitative data analysis using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), while ATLASti8 software was used for qualitative data. The study found most of the visited health facilities offered various components of ANC and childhood immunisation services but did not comply with the current eight (8) ANC visits as recommended by WHO. Other essential services including hepatitis B tests, breast examination, Fansida for malaria prevention, free folic acid and iron supplements, insecticide treated nets, weight scale, ROTA vaccine and midwives were grossly inadequate in most health facilities. The study also found urban bias in terms of distribution of healthcare staff in Zamfara State. This study recommends that Zamfara State government, non-governmental organisations and donor agencies should urgently channel their efforts to PHC centers and address the challenges confronting primary health care centers in Zamfara State.

This research work was aimed at using locally available plants (duckweed) to remove heavy metals in water samples from Woji Creek in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), total dissolved solid, oxidation reduction potential, and electrical conductivity of the water were assessed. The result of the physicochemical parameters showed that the mean value of the electrical conductivity (EC) was highest in June (46. 34±91. 5 µS/cm), temperature was high in June (27.9±1.0 oC), DO was highest in August (9.8±2.0 mg/l), pH had high value for July (7.4±0.7) and TDS for June (3548.0±1638.3 mg/l), which were lower than national and international permissible limit standard except for EC, DO and TDS. The uptake of cadmium by the roots of the duckweed was very high for station 4 (0.7 mg/kg) and shoots for station 4 (2.1 mg/kg). The most uptakes for the Copper by the roots was for station 4 (0.9 mg/kg) and shoot for station 5 (1.3 mg/kg). The percentage of uptake of Cd for the root of the duckweed was 19.3% while the shoots was 32.9% respectively. Cd had the highest accumulation of metals The duckweed plants were significantly good for phytoremediation agents and as such could be employed by industries for such purposes.

Authors: Shah Nidhi , Rana Anuja , Mitra Shuchi , Sharma Usha , Sharma Khem Chand
Published: February 2024

In order to effectively deliver drug molecules to their intended targets in the body, different dosage forms are utilized. Adapting dosage forms to the specific needs of the modern era and the condition of the disease can enhance the provision of healthcare to those in need, particularly through the use of herbal and traditional (Unani and Ayurvedic) products. Ayurveda employs various classifications of dosage forms, such as Aushadha kalpana and Ahara kalpana. Aushadha kalpana can be further categorized into Primary kalpana (Panchavidha kashaya Kalpana) and Secondary kalpana. These classifications are based on the origin of the ingredients, including plant, animal, and mineral sources. Dosage forms can also be classified based on their physical state, such as liquid, semi-solid, and solid forms. Furthermore, dosage forms can be categorized according to their intended usage, including Bahya kalpana (external application) and Abhyantara kalpana (internal administration). The importance of employing various dosage forms in Ayurveda lies in making them compatible and palatable to patients, as well as increasing their shelf life. One significant classification within Ayurveda is the topical dosage form (Bahya Kalpana), which encompasses formulations like lepa Kalpana, Malhara Kalpana, and Upnaha Kalpana. This article focuses specifically on exploring the topical dosage forms in Ayurveda.
Simultaneous Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Unusual Presentation
Authors: Ouakrim H. , Aden N. Hassan , Rafi S. , Mghari G. El , Ansari N. El
Published: February 2024

The coexistence of Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC) is a rare clinical occurrence. Thyroid pathology is reported in 20% to 84% of Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) cases, with malignancies identified in 2% to 20% of instances. We report a case of a 49-year-old woman referred for evaluation of left iliac wing and hip pain with elevated parathyroid hormone levels. Imaging revealed a toxic multinodular goiter with a parathyroid adenoma. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy with parathyroid adenoma excision. Subsequent histological examination unexpectedly identified a papillary thyroid microcarcinoma associated with the parathyroid adenoma. The association between PHPT and PTC is complex, influenced by shared embryological origins and genetic factors. Elevated PTH levels in PHPT may contribute to thyroid cell proliferation, and hypercalcemia is suggested to promote thyroid carcinogenesis. Molecular analyses suggest the involvement of pathways like MAPK and Wnt/β-catenin. The coexistence of PHPT and PTC highlights the necessity for thorough preoperative assessment and the ongoing need for research. While minimally invasive parathyroid surgery is favored, the risks associated with coexisting thyroid pathology should be carefully considered. Routine thyroid ultrasonography in PHPT patients is crucial to exclude nodular thyroid disease, emphasizing the role of research in guiding clinical practices. A balanced approach integrating technical advancements and thoughtful risk assessment is essential in navigating this complex clinical scenario.

Acute lung injury is a disorder of acute inflammation that causes disruption of the lung endothelial and epithelial barriers. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome or ARDS is a diffuse inflammatory lung process that frequently manifests in critically ill patients, with an estimated incidence of 3 million people a year. Clinically, ARDS is manifested by bilateral or diffuse radiographic infiltrates, hypoxemia, decreased lung compliance, and increased ventilatory dead space. The histological manifestation of ARDS is diffuse alveolar damage as defined by epithelial injury, hyaline membrane formation and alveolar flooding with proteinaceous fluid, increase alveolar surface area and frequently neutrophilic inflammation. The animal model correlate to ARDS as an acute lung injury (ALI). Models were employed to test potential new therapeutic interventions and to investigate under-lying mechanistic pathways that lead to diffuse lung injury. In this study cage cigarette smoke model was used for an acute lung injury. For that purpose, thirty (30) young albino healthy rats were used, and their duration of trial was 21 days. Each group was given an oral drug administration containing MgO-150mg/kg, MgO-300mg/kg BW for treatment and diet schedule in young albino rats of male sex for the experimental procedure of 0 to 21 days. Mean body weight, BALF, lipid profile, liver profile and lung histology were assessed. Results revealed that MgO nanoparticles exhibited antioxidant capacity at dosages of 300mg/kg, and 150mg/kg. This formulation of selected nanoparticles at high dose exhibited an acute lung injury and antioxidant effects as compared to low dose extract. Additionally, transcriptional factors revealed up-regulation at high dose in contrast to the low dose extract in lung injury treated groups.

Published: February 2024

Renal pathologies following viral infections have become an emerging public health problem in both developed and developing countries. Diagnostic criteria are complex. In most cases, they involve correlation between clinical, biological and histological data, with occasional recourse to molecular biology techniques. Several mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of virus-related nephropathy, including virus tropism in the kidney, formation of immune complexes in situ or in the bloodstream, direct cytopathogenic effects, and multiple organ failure. The hepatitis C virus is responsible for three main types of kidney disease: membranoproliferative glomerulnephritis, cryoglobulinemia and membranous nephropathy. Hepatitis B virus is associated with membranous nephropathy, membranoproliferative glomerulnethritis, and IgA nephropathy. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection is associated with several glomerular and tubular kidney damage. HIVAN (HIV-associated nephropathy), a specific entity mainly affecting Africans and African-Americans, presents as a rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis rapidly progressing to the terminal stage. Infections secondary to adenovirus, cytomegalovirus, epstein-barr virus, poliomavirus and coronavirus are often responsible for acute or chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis. Treatment is mainly symptomatic, based on nephroprotection measures, rarely combined with antiviral therapy. Prophylaxis with vacci-nation, when available, remains the best means of preventing viral nephropathy.

Introduction: Open appendectomy (OA) and laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) are the choices of treatment for acute appendicitis. However, laparoscopic approach is emerging for the benefits it provides, but it also sometimes may has some drawbacks like OA including fistula. Objective: This retrospective study aims to investigate the management of fistula in 50 post appendicectomy fistula patients. Methods: A retrospective study was done at MH Samorita Medical College & Hospital, Hi-Tech Surgicare Hospital & Piles Centre, Savar Specialized Hospital and Lab Zone Hospital Savar, Bangladesh during January 2019 to December 2023 from January 2019 to December 2023, among the patients who had underwent laparoscopic appendicectomy and open appendicectomy. The total study population was 50, among which 33 (66%) patients were in open appendectomy and 17 (34%) were in laparoscopic appendectomy. The patients’ age group included 10 years to 50 years of both male and female patients. P< 0.005 was considered significant in this study. Results: Out of total study population, 33 were from OA (66%) and 17 were from LA (34%) group. Most of the study patients were male, aged 21-30 years age group. Fistulogram found to be the commonly use method to diagnose fistula. Tuberculosis was found to be the frequent cause of post appendicectomy fistula. Conclusion: Post appendicectomy seems to have different outcomes with some adverse impact, fistula is one of them. The present study finds that the chances of post appendicectomy fistula is less in LA group compared to OA. Proper study and better investigation may bring this to null with time.

The article considers the specifics of building a private policy in terms of protecting the enterprise network from network exploration in accordance with the risk landscape. A complete set of network intelligence scenarios and vulnerabilities has been formed. Based on statistics, frequency and flaw, the most dangerous combinations of scenarios and vulnerabilities of a given type of attack were identified. A risk landscape for the implementation of network intelligence has been built. As a result, the specifics of private policy are proposed in terms of protecting an enterprise's network from network intelligence, taking into account the most dangerous combinations of vectors and vulnerabilities of a given type of attack. The proposed specifics can be used to develop internal documents of the organization, which contain detailed explanations of the provisions for the protection of the network from intelligence actions by a cyber attacker.

Este estudo propôs identificar a visão dos ACS de Estratégias Saúde da Família de Montes Claros/MG acerca da visita domiciliar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de caráter descritivo realizado em equipes de Saúde da Família atuantes em Montes Claros-MG em que participaram do estudo 19 ACS cujo instrumento de coleta de dados foi à entrevista semiestruturada. A análise de dados ocorreu à luz da análise temática. Este estudo foi aprovado pelo CEP, consubstanciado pelo nº01854. O ACS entende que a VD é o momento de ir à residência a fim de conhecer a família, iden-tificar os problemas e promover a saúde por meio da prevenção. As situações apon-tadas como dificultadoras para a realização da VD, foram: a incompreensão da co-munidade sobre o papel do ACS e ineficiência da coordenação do cuidar. Quanto ao fazer do ACS, ênfase foi dada ao acompanhamento de condições de saúde e a edu-cação em saúde.
EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDY ON PATIENTS’ MENTAL HEALTH IN NORTHEAST BRAZIL

Published: February 2024

This epidemiological study analyzed mental health in the Northeast region of Brazil from 2011 to 2021. The results reveal complex intersections of socioeconomic, cultural, demographic, and gender factors significantly impacting the prevalence and causes of mental disorders. The use of psychoactive substances emerged as the leading cause of death, especially among men, highlighting a gap in public policies to mitigate high consumption rates. The relationship between low education and mental morbidity, coupled with economic factors, deepens the understanding of regional disparities. A significant gap was observed in promoting accessibility to mental health services for men, reflecting cultural and social influences inhibiting help-seeking. The age between 50 and 59 stood out as a critical period, with 90.54% of deaths related to mental disorders due to psychoactive substance use. Deficiencies in the mental health system, such as inadequate resource distribution, indicate an urgent need for more inclusive and gender-sensitive policies to effectively address the challenges faced by the Northeastern population.

Introdução: O envelhecimento é um processo progressivo que causa declínio em vários sistemas corporais, aumentando o risco de quedas. As quedas, por sua vez, contribuem com a morbidade e mortalidade em idoso. Entre as possíveis terapêuticas para prevenir as quedas, a gameterapia apresenta-se como ferramenta dinâmica e motivadora, uma vez que visa contribuir com a melhora do equilíbrio, condicionamento físico e cognitivo. Objetivo: Verificar o efeito da gameterapia na prevenção de quedas em idosos. Metodologia: Estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura, utilizando como tema norteador o uso da gameterapia na redução e/ou prevenção de quedas em idosos. A busca dos artigos foi realizada nas bases de dados Scielo, Google acadêmico e PubMed, por meio da combinação entre palavras e descritores sobre gameterapia, prevenção de quedas e idosos. Os artigos foram selecionados inicialmente pelo título e resumo e, caso fornecessem informações suficientes para sua inclusão, foi realizada leitura na íntegra, aplicando os critérios de elegibilidade. Resultados: Inicialmente 377 estudos foram encontrados, mas somente 9 foram incluídos. Após análise dos artigos na íntegra, verificou-se que o uso da gameterapia na reabilitação de idosos contribui para a melhora de aspectos cognitivos e físicos, tais como melhora da mobilidade, equilíbrio, controle postural e capacidade aeróbia; contribuindo, consequentemente, para redução do risco de quedas. Conclusão: A gameterapia contribui positivamente para redução de quedas em idosos. Por se tratar de uma terapêutica inovadora e promissora, novos estudos clínicos randomizados fazem-se necessários para consolidar sua eficácia e integrá-la mais amplamente na prática clínica do fisioterapeuta.
