Published: September 2024

Background: Self-medication is defined as using medicinal products to treat the disorders or symptoms diagnosed by oneself, Self-Medication is common practice worldwide in both developed and developing countries, Regulations usually distinguish between prescription-only medicines (POM) and over the counter (OTC) drugs. inappropriate self-treatment can pose various risks including drug side effects, recurrence of symptoms, drug resistance, etc. the purpose of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of medical students towards self-medication. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among five stages that were selected by the simple random sampling for choosing the students. Data collections were performed from the beginning of March to October 2023. Data were collected with A four-part researcher questionnaire. It was designed to address the students’ knowledge, attitude, and practice. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 23 software. Results: Out of 462 questionnaires distributed, 445 questionnaires were completed; giving a response rate of 96.3%. According to the results, 310 (69.7%) students had carried out self-medication within the past one year. Common cold was the most common ailment treated with self-medication (73.9%) and antipyretics analgesics (64.5%) were the most used drugs. The primary information sources used by the students were their academic knowledge and books (47.4%). Health problems are not serious the most reason for self-medication in the study and lack of knowledge about medicine the highest causes for not taking medication. Conclusion: students’ knowledge of self-medication appears to be good and significantly high. As well self-medication was highly practiced among the students. Therefore, medical students should be viewed as important contributors to the public health care system, and future health professionals should be properly educated on good pharmacy practice and responsible self-medication.

The thyroid interact with the hypothalamic-pituitary reproductive axis. Tenascins (TN) are a group of versatile glycoproteins found in the extracellular matrix (ECM) that have distinct expression patterns in different tissues and stages of development, as well as in homeostasis tissue balance and during infections and diseases. Furthermore there are four types of family members that are referred as tenascin (-C,-R,-X, -W).Tenascin-X and tenascin-C have significant involvement in human diseases. The paraoxonase family consists of three genes: paraoxonase 1, paraoxonase 2, and paraoxonase 3. These genes have around 70% genetic sequence similarity and 60% same sequence of amino acid. Materials and Methods: 120 Sample of the current study were collected from married women aged 20 and 45 years after taking their information (age, height, weight, and health status in detail) to obtain suitable samples. Results : The anti-mullerian hormone showed significant decrease at (P<0.01) in hypothyroidism and increase significant in infertility at (P<0.01). Prolactin showed highly increase significant in hypothyroidism at (P<0.01) and in infertility women patients compared with women control . Luteinizing hormone level showed increase significant in hypothyroidism and infertility at (P<0.01) and follicle-Stimulating hormone level showed decrease significantly .The tenascin-X showed a high significant increase at (P<0.01) in hypothyroidism patient compared with control group. The optimal cut-off value tenascin-X was (10.382 pg/ml as cut-off value). The tenascin-X showed a high significant increase at in infertility with hypothyroidism women patient compared with control group. The optimal cut-off value for tenascin-X was (8.904 pg/ml) .

Background
Sexual well-being is essential to the quality of life, and it influences an individual's overall health. The study examined the interplay of emotional and physiological factors in sexual well-being among men of Ekiti State. Methods
A quantitative cross-sectional study Involving 339 men aged 18 to 65 was carried out. Twelve communities' households were used to select study respondents through a multistage, sys-tematic sampling process. A structured questionnaire was utilized to assist in the collection of data. SPSS IBM statistics version 26 was used to analyse the data, and the statistical significance value was set at < 0.05 and <0.01 Results
Getting easily aroused by a particular stimulus from the opposite sex at 87% in the physical domain, emphasise diverse responses to stimuli. While excitement during intercourse is overwhelm-ingly high at 95.7%, the similarly high rate of easy orgasm at 93.2% further suggests widespread sex-ual satisfaction. In the sexual dysfunction domain, the result shows the presence of sexual violence at 29.1% and a considerable portion (41.5%) experiences a loss of libido. Median values indicate moderate to high satisfaction across domains. Number of wives (P=0.013), marital status (p=0.011), and specific occupations (civil servant (p=<0.001) and petty trader( p= 0.034)) significantly predict sexual wellbeing at bivariate and multivariate levels of analysis.
Conclusions
Promoting demographic and socioeconomic factors that predict sexual wellbeing and addressing concerns related to violence, quick orgasm, or loss of libido may contribute to pro-moting healthier and more satisfying sexual experiences for individuals

Published: September 2024

Better understanding of land use / land covers changes in the transformation at the local, regional, and the national level provides guidelines for planning, management and monitoring developmental programs. The study area namely; Bijoy river basin is located from Northeastern part of the Tripura State in India, is mostly pretentious by LULC changes including deforestation, settlement encroachment swampy land filled, Jhum cultivation, rubber plantation etc., The increase or decrease of the geographical areal unit of each land use / land cover categories are analyzed. Mapping the spatial and temporal aspects of land use/land cover changes for the period of 20 years at five years interval from 2003 to 2023 is carried out using Landsat TM 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 OLI/TIRS satellite data with the aid of QGIS software. The LULC are delineated that built-up area is steadily increased, signifying the growth and development of residential, commercial, and industrial regions from 1.573101 to 6.662455. The area under agricultural lands declined affectedly, indicating a conversion of agricultural lands to other land uses, such as urbanization or industrialization and rubber plantation from 34.37884 to 24.16139, and the forest cover declined from 35.83747 to 27.46631, indicating that factors such as agricultural development, urbanization, or illicit logging have contributed to deforestation. There has been a significant rise in the area covered by rubber plantations from 4.084427 to 25.86129, suggesting that commercial rubber cultivation has spread throughout the region. The area covered by water bodies is decreased from 7.012693 to 5.835399. The area under open ground dropped from 9.66931 to 7.395732, which could be a sign that different development activities are using open areas. The amount of barren land fell from 20.44768 to 2.479626, most likely as a result of various land uses such as urban expansion, agriculture, and plantations, and the area under brick chambers increased from 0.028178 to 0.137806, indicating a rise in infrastructure development and construction activity. Significant changes in land use / covers brought out by industrialization, urbanization, infrastructure growth, and the agricultural expansion. Increased rubber plantations, and building extension activities are caused a decrease in agricultural land, forest cover, water bodies, and open bare grounds.
Levels of Engagement of South Asian Participants in Health Research: Effectiveness of Community-Based Research (CBR) Framework
Authors: Alamgir Akm , Roy Pretha , Taverna Franco 
Published: September 2024

Objectives: This study aims to explore the levels of engagement of South Asian participants in health research and to assess the effectiveness of the Community-Based Research (CBR) framework in promoting health equity among this diaspora in Canada. This review also seeks to identify the effectiveness of the democratic and inclusive model of CBR in integrating marginalized communities into health research.
Methods: This review was conducted following Alamgir, et al.’s supplementation of Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review methodological framework. EBSCO CINAHL, Ovid MEDLINE, and Ovid APA PsycINFO databases were searched with assistance from a University of Toronto librarian. Open-access papers, grey literature, and articles were searched through a snowball approach following the bibliographies of collected articles. The included articles fulfilled strict inclusion criteria and were published in English between January 2004 and July 2024. The data was screened, charted, and assessed for quality, rigour, and level of community engagement. The PI supervised, reviewed, supported, and edited each step in an insider-outsider role.
Results: Out of 63 articles, 20 were selected, revealing unique methodologies and interaction models to engage with South Asian communities in research. Key findings indicate that the main challenges faced in implementing CBR in the South Asian Community are trust, transparency, and perceived benefits of the end-users in the community after the research is done. The democratic and inclusive model of CBR utilizing the Asset Based Community Development Framework engages members of the community as peer researchers throughout the research process and reports back to the community to overcome these challenges. The study also identified that the most successful methods to overcome are to adhere to culturally pertinent practices and apply a collaborative, inclusive and meaningful method of community engagement. Identified weaknesses of the research include participants not being involved throughout the entirety of the project, not many studies incorporating CBR; and a smaller number of insightful studies minimizing diversity and ensuring equity in this area.
Conclusion: This study identifies key challenges of research on South Asians’ health and underscores the importance of adopting the Community-Based Research framework for conducting equity-informed studies with South Asians in which community members participate as research subjects and co-researchers.
Shock‐induced deformation phenomena in magnetite and their consequences on magnetic properties
Authors: Reznik Boris , Kontny Agnes , Fritz Jörg , Gerhards Uta 
Published: May 2016

AbstractThis study investigates the effects of shock waves on magnetic and microstructural behavior of multidomain magnetite from a magnetite‐bearing ore, experimentally shocked to pressures of 5, 10, 20, and 30 GPa. Changes in apparent crystallite size and lattice parameter were determined by X‐ray diffraction, and grain fragmentation and defect accumulation were studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Magnetic properties were characterized by low‐temperature saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM), susceptibility measurements around the Verwey transition as well as by hysteresis parameters at room temperature. It is established that the shock‐induced refinement of magnetic domains from MD to SD‐PSD range is a result of cooperative processes including brittle fragmentation of magnetite grains, plastic deformation with shear bands and twins as well as structural disordering in form of molten grains and amorphous nanoclusters. Up to 10 GPa, a decrease of coherent crystallite size, lattice parameter, saturation magnetization (Ms), and magnetic susceptibility and an increase in coercivity, SIRM, and width of Verwey transition are mostly associated with brittle grain fragmentation. Starting from 20 GPa, a slight recovery is documented in all magnetic and nonmagnetic parameters. In particular, the recovery in SIRM is correlated with an increase of the lattice constant. The recovery effect is associated with the increasing influence of shock heating/annealing at high shock pressures. The strong decrease of Ms at 30 GPa is interpreted as a result of strong lattice damage and distortion. Our results unravel the microstructural mechanisms behind the loss of magnetization and the modification of magnetic properties of magnetite and contribute to our understanding of shock‐induced magnetic phenomena in impacted rocks on earth and in meteorites.
