AbstractObjectiveWellness is a challenge for Indigenous peoples, partly because Western services do not adopt a holistic approach. By devaluing traditional knowledge, Indigenous values and beliefs, these services lower Indigenous power and affect cultural identities. Indigenous elders participate in intergenerational solidarity by transmitting knowledge, values, and culture in a holistic approach. Despite widespread acceptance of the importance of Indigenous elders’ contributions to wellness, a rigorous synthesis of knowledge has never been done. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how Indigenous elders’ social participation contributes to individual and community wellness.MethodA scoping review was conducted with Indigenous elders and stakeholders in Québec (Canada). Sixteen databases were searched with 57 keywords. Data from the documents retrieved were analyzed, organized, and synthesized based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.SynthesisA total of 144 documents were examined, comprising 74 scientific papers and 70 sources from the gray literature. Indigenous elders contributed to wellness mainly through relationships and interactions with other community members and non-Indigenous people (72.2%); intergenerational oral and written communications (70.1%); community, social and civic life (45.8%); volunteering and jobs (35.4%); and family life (29.9%). Elders transmit traditional knowledge, strengthen social cohesion, and help to develop positive attitudes such as reciprocity. Their actions favour disease prevention and health promotion, as including traditional approaches increases the acceptability of health and social services.ConclusionThis scoping review highlights the need for longitudinal studies with mixed-method designs involving Indigenous communities at all stages of the research to deepen understanding of the contributions of Indigenous elders to individual and community wellness.

Authors: Kumari Shipra , Singh Monika 
Published: February 2020

Background: Menopause is recognised to have occurred after 12 months of amenorrhoea for which there are no obvious pathological and physiological causes, it is retrospective diagnosis. Objective of this study was to compare the efficacy, safety and compliance of oral estradiol and vaginal estriol for urogenital problems in post-menopausal women.Methods: A total of 100 postmenopausal women having urogenital symptoms were selected for the prospective study. The selected patients were randomly allocated in 2 groups. Group A received 2 mg of estradiol OD for 4 weeks and then evaluated after 4 weeks. Group B received 0.5 mg of vaginal estriol cream continuously for 4 weeks at night and then evaluated after 4 weeks. Patients were followed after 1,3 and 6 months. Inclusion criteria were postmenopausal women, vaginal symptoms, urogenital symptoms. exclusion criteria were all patients having estrogen dependent neoplasia and comorbidities.Results: For urinary complaints, symptomatic relief was assessed by AUA Score in which after 6 months; in Group A the difference in mean from baseline was 19.64±1.63 and in Group B it was 21±2.52 and was statistically insignificant from each other. For genital complaints, symptomatic relief was graded as 1, 2, 3, 4 in which grade 4 means complete relief. After 6 months of therapy 88.2% got complete relief in Group A and 91.1% in Group B. In vaginal cytological smears; in both groups, parabasal cells were reduced and superficial cells were increased after 6 months of therapy and both groups were statistically insignificant from each other. After 6 months of therapy, increase in mean value of KPI from the baseline is 24.54±10.1 in Group A and 28.6±10.11 in Group B and both groups were statistically insignificant. Endometrial thickness remained unchanged in both the groups after 6 months of therapy.Conclusions: Both drugs were equally effective in alleviating the urogenital symptoms with no significant side effects.

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus has emerged as a common endocrine disorder in india. Thyroid dysfunction may complicate glycaemic control of diabetic patients. For better management of diabetes, it is necessary to detect and treat thyroid dysfunction in these patients.Methods: This was an observational study conducted at SMS Hospital Jaipur, Rajasthan, India, between March 2016 to November 2017. Total 100 patients were included out of which 50 were Diabetic patients and 50 were age and sex matched nondiabetic controls reported in outpatient department of SMS Hospital, Jaipur. Patients of type 1 Diabetes, previously known case of thyroid disorder, patients having endocrine disorder or autoimmune disorder other than Diabetes, critically ill patients and pregnant females were excluded from study. Serum Fasting Blood Sugar, Free T3, Free T4, TSH were measured in all study subjects and results were analysed statistically to find out if there is any difference in prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in Diabetic patients and non-diabetic controls.Results: Thyroid dysfunction was present in 16 (32%) of 50 type 2 diabetics and 3 (6%) of 50 nondiabetic controls. The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in type 2 diabetic females and males was 43.3% and 15% respectively. Mean fasting blood sugar was higher in diabetic patients having thyroid dysfunction (209.12 mg/dl) as compared to euthyroid diabetic subjects (173.58 mg/dl). Twelve (75%), out of 16 study subjects with thyroid dysfunction have secondary hypothyroidism. Three (18.75%) of them have mild (sub-clinical) hypothyroidism. One person (6.25%) has subclinical hyperthyroidism.Conclusions: Prevalence of thyroid dysfunction is higher in type 2 diabetic patients as compared to nondiabetic. Better glycaemic control is observed in euthyroid diabetic patients as compared to diabetic patients having thyroid dysfunction.

Authors: Thresa Sahaya Sona , S. Indumathi 
Published: February 2020

Background: Quality of life in elderly is more relevant towards an ageing society. In India, the awareness is very little about the special needs of the elderly and their care takers (physical and mental health, psychological and social support). Furthermore, among elderly there is a variation between those living in old age homes (OAHs) and those living in general population. Hence the present study was undertaken to assess and compare the quality of life of elderly living in OAHs and community.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among elderly in old age homes and family set up of Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu. QOL of elderly was assessed using WHO QOL - brief questionnaire after taking informed consent from the participants. Data was analyzed using SPSS 23.Results: A total of 106 elders from each group old age home and family setup were the study participants. Quality of life was good 72.5% in family and in OAHs it was only 56.2%. The main reason for residing in OAHs was no family, lack of care takers. All the four domains were found to be highly statistically significant.Conclusions: From this study we are able to find out that quality of life in family setup is better than OAHs, psychologically many people were depressed as they live separately from their family and relatives, friends and the community they lived.

Background: Timely administration of vaccines, particularly for hepatitis B birth dose within 24 hours of birth is of immense importance. It is considered as an indicator of quality of immunization programme. This study aimed to assess effect of mode of delivery and type of hospital on immunization among newborns. Methods: This large multi-site study was conducted in Pune district having population of 9.43 million. A total of 13 hospitals were selected which included all government hospitals performing more than five cesarean sections per month, and one government and one private medical college hospital. Cesarean section and vaginally deliveries were enrolled in 1:1 ratio. Their children were followed till discharge. Data were collected by obstetrician or qualified nurse.Results: During study period 3,112 women were enrolled. The relative risk of not getting vaccine Hepatitis B birth dose before 24 hours among cesarean delivered newoborns was 1.08. The relative risk of not getting zero polio and BCG among cesarean delivered newborns was 0.71 and 0.76 respectively. All these differences were significant. The coverage for all vaccines was better in sub district hospitals than others. Coverage of all vaccines in government teaching hospital was better than private.Conclusions: Cesarean section enabled better coverage among newborns probably due to length of stay. Whereas the physical and mental stress after cesarean section resulted lesser coverage of hepatitis B birth dose within 24 hours. Opportunities of timely Hepatitis B birth dose administration were missed probably due to lack of knowledge among health workers about ideal timing.

Authors: Méndez Sastoque Marlon Javier 
Published: February 2020

En el marco de las múltiples interacciones entre lo rural y lo urbano, el artículo aborda un asunto en particular: la movilidad rural-urbano-rural concebida como acción configurante de dinámicas socioespaciales alternativas. Como supuesto básico se asume que estas resultan del cruzamiento crítico, comparativo, simbólico y funcional de habilidades, informaciones, conocimientos, roles, contactos, creencias, normas y valores calificados como rurales o urbanos, todos adquiridos, en sus trayectorias de vida, por sujetos que migran del campo a la ciudad, y que posteriormente optan por retornar al campo. En este contexto, en concordancia con los resultados de investigación, el artículo describe y analiza cómo el acervo cultural urbano, en este caso permanentemente confrontado con el acervo cultural rural, permea e influencia la readaptación de los retornados al sitio rural de origen, estimulando la configuración de espacios físicos y simbólicos plurilocales de vida. Como vía metodológica se recurrió a la entrevista en profundidad desde un enfoque biográfico.

Alih fungsi lahan secara besar-besaran berdampak negatif pada kualitas ekologis area perkotaan yang mengakibatkan perubahan habitat hijau menjadi berbagai fungsi yang salah satunya menjadi daerah pemukiman mengakibatkan penurunan tutupan hutan. Loktabat Utara adalah salah satu area yang memiliki permukiman baru dalam jumlah besar. Sehingga, perlu dilakukan studi terhadap lebar tajuk dan porositas tajuk pada pohon yang ditaman oleh masyarakat di ruang hijau pribadi untuk melihat seberapa besar kualitas revegetasi setelah alih fungsi lahan yang terjadi. Lebar tajuk diukur dari ujung terluar hingga ujung terluar berikutnya yang dapat dibentuk oleh tajuk pohon. Porositas dikurung dengan menggunakan software ENVY yang kemudian dibandingkan dengan tabel konversi porositas. Hasil studi menunjukan bahwa lebar tajuk terbesar terbentuk pada pohon mentega dan porositas terendah terbentuk pada pohon jambu air. Sedangkan pohon yang paling digemari oleh adalah pohon rambutan yang ditaman oleh 26,7% masyarakatpermukiman baru karena dapat memberi manfaat langsung dan memiliki pertumbuhan yang cepat. Sehingga, dapat disimpulkan bahwa lebar kanopi dan porositas pohon di daerah permukiman baru dapat dikatakan baik dan memberi mamfaat langsung terhadap pemiliki ruang hijau pribadi. Kata kunci: Kanopi, lebar tajuk, permukiman baru, porositas, ruang hijau pribadi. Land use give a massive negative impact on the ecological quality of the urban area resulted in changes of green habitat into various functions, one of which became a residential area resulted in a decrease of forest cover. North Loktabat is one area which has a large number of new residential area. Thus, necessary to study the canopy width and porosity on the trees in the garden by the people private green space to see how much the quality of regrowth after land conversion happens. Canopy width is measured from the outer edge the the opposite side formed by the tree canopy. Porosity measured using ENVY software then compared with a conversion table of porosity. The study results showed that the largest canopy width formed on butter tree and low porosity formed in water guava tree. While most favored tree is rambutan by 26.7% of new residential communities because it can provide direct benefits and have rapid growth. Thus, can be concluded that the canopy width and porosity of trees in new residential areas can be said to be good and give direct benefitto the owner of a private green space.
