Abstract:

Background: Inadequate environmental sanitation has been recognized as a public health hazard worldwide. Nearly one quarter of all deaths and of the total disease burden and slightly more than one-third for children can be attributed to the changes and degradation of the environment. This study examined the environmental conditions of the internally displaced person (IDP) communities in Khartoum State, Sudan and its effect on children health.
 

Methods: A community-based descriptive, cross-sectional survey design was used for a population of 726,989 inhabitants of the IDP communities in Khartoum State, Sudan. Multi-stage cluster sampling was used in selecting 662 households in these communities and a structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, Chi-square test and multiple logistic regressions.

Results: Protected dug wells and tap water were the major sources of water supply in the study area, usually transferred to the house by cart and almost all was not treated. The major source of toilet facilities was traditional pit latrine and more than one-fifth of the populations share common latrines. More than one-third of the families had animals inside their housing. Almost half of the families were disposing their rubbish in collection areas far from housing followed by burning of rubbish, which had been used by more than one-third of them. More than one-fifth of the households’ preschool children (21.3%) had diarrhea. A result of multiple logistic regressions showed that, time of hand washing (when to wash hand) was independently predictive for diarrhea among the households’ preschool children (B=0.005, Wald test=6.758 and p=0.009).

Conclusions: It can therefore, be concluded that the environmental conditions including access to improved sources of water and hygienic latrines in these communities were accepted, although there were still some negative environmental practices, which can affect the safety of water and promote diseases spread. Bad hygienic practices were prevalent and led to high rates of diarrhea among the households’ children. Therefore, to improve the environmental conditions in these communities, authorities should establish and enforce a more healthy environmental conditions approach and health promotion activities to improve the hygienic practice.

Abstract:

The study assessed the attitudes and beliefs of women attending health care facilities regarding cervical cancer screening. This cross-sectional study involved 500 participants chosen conveniently from a total of 9868 outpatient women aged ≥ 18 years from Tshilidzini Hospital and Tshilidzi Gateway clinic. Self- administered questionnaires were used to collect data which were analysed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation method. Whilst about 1 in every 3 participants (n=203; 59.0%) disagreed that papnicolaou (pap) is painful, nearly 7 in every 10 participants disagreed that Pap smear is embarrassing and at the same time agreed that there is no need to worry about signs and symptoms of cervical cancer. Furthermore, this study established a positive significant correlation between the belief that cervical cancer can be diagnosed by pap smear and ever heard about pap smear (r=0.405; p<0.01). Health education and promotion is, paramount in the Department of Health education and promotion is, therefore, paramount in the Department of Health’ initiative of raising cervical cancer awareness among South African women.

Keywords: Attitudes, beliefs, Pap smear, Screening, cervical cancer.

Abstract:

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of uterine abnormalities in sub fertile women compared with fertile women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) as determined by 3 dimensional trans-vaginal scan (3D TVS) and saline contrast sonohysterography (3D SCSH) in Saudi women.

Design: Prospective cohort study

Setting: The ultrasound department, the Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility in Medicine Department (REIMD) and AUB clinic of Women's Specialized Hospital (WSH), King Fahad Medical City (KFMC), Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Population or Sample: Total of 2,224 women were included in the study from June 2013 to June 2015, of which 1,477 (66.41%) were recruited from REIMD clinic and 747 (33.59%) from AUB clinic.

Out of 1,477 sub fertile women, 159 (10.76%) required 3D SCSH. Whereas out of 747 women from fertile AUB group 110 (14.72%) required 3D SCSH. Total of 256 patients successfully underwent 3D SCSH from both group.  No complication or difficulty were encountered

Methods: An initial clinical assessment was made and 3D TVS was performed in the ultrasound unit of WSH. All those women who were found to have uterine abnormalities, either endometrial pathology or congenital mullerian anomaly were further referred for 3D SCSH.

Results: The difference of prevalence of uterine abnormalities diagnosed by trans-vaginal scan in both groups, sub fertility (n=1477) and fertility with AUB (n=745) were found to be highly Significant (P <000).

Abstract:

 Pregnancy can place a woman’s life into various instances that can induce anxiety. This anxiety can then cause serious complications that may occur throughout gestation. Hence, this study introduced music therapy as an intervention and evaluated its effectiveness in reducing anxiety among third trimester primigravid mothers. A pre-test and  post-test experimental design was utilized. The participants were chosen using purposive sampling. The study consisted of experimental (n=25) and control (n=25) groups. In the experimental group, music therapy was given. The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), a standardized instrument, was used to assess the pre- and post- anxiety scores of the respondents. Independent t-test, paired t-test, and analysis of covariance were utilized as measures to determine the effectiveness of the therapy.For the pre-test anxiety scores, the control group had a score of 37.64 while the experimental group had 41.32. When post-test scores were collected and interpreted, the control group showed a score of 30.88. Meanwhile, the experimental group acquired 11.44. There was a significant difference after in the post test anxiety scores (p=0.0001).It is concluded in this study that music therapy especially containing gospel songs is an effective way in alleviating the anxiety experienced by primigravid women who are in their third trimester of pregnancy.

Abstract

Background

A good maternal diet is an important component that influences fetal development. While iron-deficiency anemia is the common type of anemia, its impact is one of the most considerable concerns during pregnancy as it increases the demand for iron supplementation. This study was conducted to assess the perceived importance of nutrition during pregnancy among women attending antenatal care at the primary health care centers in Albaha region, Saudi Arabia.

Methods

A sample of 66 pregnant women attending the antenatal care at four primary health care centers in Albaha during a two-week period in April 2016 was collected using a self-structured questionnaire.

Results

Of the 66 participants, 29 reported having three or less pregnancies, representing 43.9% of the overall sample size, followed by four to six pregnancies (25 women, 37.9%) and more than six pregnancies (12, 18.2%).

As for the participants’ knowledge of the which group with highest risk for iron-deficiency anemia, three women reported having a good knowledge (4.5%), 13 with a fair knowledge (19.7%), and 50 with a poor knowledge (75.8%) (page26). 33% of the participants had a good knowledge about the most important nutrient-rich element with irons, while 45% had a fair knowledge, and 21.2% had a poor knowledge. In addition, 63.6% know the impact of tea-drinking on intestinal iron absorption while 36.4% do not. Furthermore, 69.7% know the impact of vitamin C or lemon juice on intestinal iron absorption while 30.3% do not. A total of 59 pregnant women (89.4%) considered birth-spacing useful to the mother’s health, and seven pregnant women (10.6%) did not (page32). The relationship between level of education and total knowledge of participants is good P Value > 0.05 (P. Value = .000)

Conclusion

Higher level of education and occupation increase the total knowledge of participants.

Abstract:

Clinical learning is the acquisition of midwifery technical skills through the application of theoretical knowledge to practice in a ward as any other practicum site. It is a multidimensional process of acquiring knowledge through experience or actual practice in the clinical setting. The aim of the study was to determine factors affecting integration of midwifery nursing science theory with clinical practice in Vhembe district, Limpopo province. A qualitative explorative, descriptive and contextual design was used. Convenient sampling method was used to select 18 level IV (Finalists) student midwives from the following hospitals, Donald Fraser, Siloam and Tshidzini hospitals, in Vhembe district. Data were collected through three focus group interviews. Interviews were conducted until data saturation was reached and data obtained were analyzed through open coding method. Results or findings revealed factors perceived as hindering and facilitating integration of theory with clinical practice when allocated for clinical learning experience including amongst others overcrowding in clinical areas that lead to limited opportunity for clinical learning experiences. Other factors were negative attitude towards midwifery by some male students leading to lack of interest to midwifery course; poor interpersonal relationship support and feedback due to lack of accompaniment to clinical areas.  Recommendations included; planning by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) which is the University and nursing colleges in Vhembe District need to meet at the beginning of each academic year to plan the clinical for allocation for placement of students to avoid overcrowding of students at the same hospital. Create career choice opportunities, facilitate the creation of preceptors’ positions for clinical accompaniment, so that student are accompanied every day.  The midwifery curriculum need to outline and strengthen orientation program and provide students with objectives to clinical setting.

Keywords: clinical learning, clinical experience Theory practice integration, student midwives, midwifery nursing science, clinical practice.

Abstract:

Intrauterine insemination is an affordable and effective first line treatment in patients, who require artificial reproductive techniques. The success rate of IUI worldwide is 15-18%. At Friends IVF, we have tried to improve the percentage of success rate by strictly adhering to the pre-requisites for IUI and careful and intelligent selection of couples. A study was carried out at Friends IVF, that included the patients having Male Infertility mostly. Sperm count in final preparation made for IUI can be increased multifold by certain lab techniques. In few of the samples, the sperms swim up not only in Sperm Wash but also in Normal saline. Using normal saline in such patients can reduce the cost of IUI substantially. In few of the samples, sperms do not swim up, in those cases only Sperm wash or Gradient can be used. Natural Cycle stimulation or Clomiphene Citrate was used in most of the cycles, In few patients pure FSH was given.

Abstract:

Bowel perforation has been described following caesarean section. Ogilvie’s syndrome and paralytic ileus are the two most common causes of functional bowel obstruction.

We report here a case of ogilivie’s syndrome. Unfortunately, surgical intervention was late and patient died.

Cecal perforation is a rare postoperative complication after a Caesarean section. Early identification is critical for successful treatment of these patients. If a postoperative patient presents with features consistent with a bowel obstruction, prompt imaging should be performed in order to aid early diagnosis and intervention. Abdominal ultrasonography is of limited value in detecting intraluminal colonic neoplasms. Large bowel obstruction should be treated with urgency to avoid cecal perforation.

Abstract:

Intrathoracic goiters are usually located anteriorly, in the superior or anterior mediastinum, and are termed substernal or retrosternal goiters. Posterior mediastinal goiters are rare, about 10% of all intrathoracic goiters. Patients with retrosternal goiter usually have a visible or palpable cervical mass. In addition, tracheal deviation may be present with compression symptoms.

Posterior mediastinal goiter with mediastinal compressive symptoms is an indication of surgery. Lateral thoracotomy is an alternative approach for intrathoracic goiter extending into the posterior mediastinum.

We report a case of 75 years old gentleman, referred with right neck swelling, difficulty in swallowing and breathing and changes of voice. Total thyroidectomy was performed. Histopathology report showed multi nodular goiter with no evidence of malignancy. This patient had both types of extension. Both were delivered successfully through a classic neck incision without sternotomy or combined cervicothoracotomy. It would be reasonable to consider surgical management for such symptomatic goiters if there were no contraindications.

Abstract:

A Mullerian abnormality encompasses a wide range of systemic abnormalities which throws a real challenge to the gynecologists for chalking out the appropriate strategy for their diagnosis and management. The most basic classification of Mullerian duct defects consists of agenesis and hypoplasia. Mullerian abnormalities are often associated with other systemic abnormalities. In the reported case, we describe a 17 years old Saudi female present with history of primary amenorrhea with normal breast development and normal female external genitalia. Laboratory confirmed normal female sex (46XX) and normal hormonal assay. Radiological studies showed that she had no uterus. Normal ovary with pelvic kidney diagnosis of Mullerian defect type-one was given.

Abstract:

Background: The most common symptom in early menopausal women is depression. Depression is a type of chronic disease that impacts on postmenopausal women’s life. Social support plays a protective role for women and enables them to solve their life problems and thus, feel less depressed.

Objectives: We assessed depression as a chronic disease and evaluated the association between perceived social support and depression in postmenopausal women.

Patients & Methods: This correlation-analytic study was conducted on 321 postmenopausal women using 2-stage cluster sampling in Ahvaz in 2014. Data collecting instruments were comprised of a demographic questionnaire, a depression scale (Beck Depression Inventory-II), and a social support questionnaire (PRQ 85-Part 2). Data analysis was done using SPSS, version 20. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the relationship between perceived social support and depression, and the χ2 test was employed to assess

the relationship between perceived social support and demographic characteristics.

Results: The Spearman correlation test revealed a significant reverse relationship between perceived social support and depression (r=-0.468; P=0.001). There were significant relationships between perceived social support and some personal variables such as marital status, education level, and job status (P<0.05). However, there were no significant relationships between perceived social support and some other personal characteristics such as income and ethnicity (P>0.05).

Conclusions: We found a reverse relationship between perceived social support and depression in postmenopausal women.

Abstract:

Polymorphic eruption of pregnancy is an itchy, bumpy rash that starts in the stretch marks of the abdomen in the last 3 months of pregnancy then clears with delivery. It is also called PUPPP or Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy. Polymorphic eruption of pregnancy is thought to be related to stretching of the skin on the abdomen. Somehow the rash develops as a sort of "allergy" to the stretch marks and spreads elsewhere on the body. Supporting the stretch mark theory are the following observations: Most cases begin in the last 3 months. Polymorphic eruption of pregnancy is most common in a first pregnancy, when the abdomen is tightest. The rash usually starts around the umbilicus where stretching of the abdomen is greatest. On average, patients with polymorphic eruption of pregnancy have greater weight gain, babies that are heavier than normal and an increased chance of having twins. Small, pink, raised spots (papules) appear in the stretch marks around the umbilicus. There is often a pale halo around the papules.  PUPPP is very itchy (pruritic) and patients find it difficult to sleep at night. Treatment of polymorphic eruption of pregnancy: Emollients (moisturizers) applied liberally and frequently as required. Topical steroids applied thinly twice daily to the red itchy patches. Antihistamines - conventional antihistamine tablets appear safe in late pregnancy.

Abstract:

Introduction: Infertility can be considered as a crisis in a marriage. The stress of infertility can harm marital relations and decrease in marital satisfaction and the quality of life.  The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between infertility and was conducted with the consent and sexual function in infertile couples.

Materials & Methods: This study was a historical cohort study. Where 200 couples (400) divided infertile and infertile groups were studied. They had no physical illness or mental health problems. The data collected tools includes, general information form, Female Sexual Function Questionnaire (FSFI), male sexual function questionnaire (IIEF) and Larsson Sexual satisfaction questionnaire.

Results: In fertile couples, the average age of women were 30.18 and 33.56 years for men and in fertile group the average age of women were 30.06 and 36.71 years for men. The two groups were matched in terms of demographic indicators. The cause of infertility in 42.5% is due to male factor. Sexual function in infertile women is better than fertile women and the statistical difference was significant (p=0.001). Male sexual function in infertile men was better than fertile men but it was not statistically significant. Sexual satisfaction was similar in both groups.

Conclusion: It seems that infertility does not affect the sexual satisfaction and function in infertile couples. So do intervention studies and development of various programs of support and counseling for couples is useful.
