Abstract: Anaemia is defined as a lower than normal level of hemoglobin in the blood. Normal levels of hemoglobin are different for pregnant women, non-pregnant women, men, child etc. The prevalence of anaemia based on the studies conducted from 1993 to 2005 was 24.8 percent and it affected 1.62 billion people worldwide. It is one of the global widespread public health and nutritional problems affecting both developing and developed countries, and occurs at all stages of life cycle but it is prominent in pregnant women, young and other women of reproductive age. According to the 2011 EDHS data the prevalence of anaemia is 17 percent among North-Western Nigerian women aged 15-49. The objective of this study was to identify determinants of anaemia levels among women of reproductive age (between 15 and 49) in North-Western Nigeria using the 2011 EDHS data. To achieve the objective of this study descriptive statistics, chi-square test of association and partial proportional odds model and related tests were used for data analysis using socio-ecsonomic, demographic and health related variables as explanatory variables and anaemia levels of reproductive age of women as the response variables. The result of the analysis revealed that the variables education level, region, parity, pregnancy status, body mass index, place of residence, contraceptive methods and marital status were found to be significant determinants of anaemia levels among women in the reproductive age group in North-Western Nigeria and from the result it also suggested that pregnant women were more likely to be moderate anaemic and severe anaemic than none pregnant women. Women who had a large number of children were found to be more likely of being mild anaemic than those who had no child. Rural resident women were more likely of being mild, moderate and severe anaemic than urban resident.

Abstract: Aims of this study to find out the state of  personnel radiation protection and monitoring practices applied to staff of the government hospitals (Radio-diagnostic and therapeutic departments) in western coast of the Libyan state. A cross survey was conducted targeted radiology staff working in ten selected government owned hospitals on Western coast of the Libya state was conducted.

Materials and Methods: Survey visits were conducted to all the functional radiology departments facilities in Western coast of the Libya state and the available facilities identified, staff interviewed and the data collection tool was a questionnaire consisting of twenty-nine questions, which was distributed to the targeted sample, data was collected and analyzed using a statistical package  Microsoft excel.

Result: Personnel radiation monitoring was available in only 4 out of 10 hospitals (40%) and in two of the hospitals radiation monitoring does not cover all the Staff on employment. Radiation monitors were found to be read fairly regularly at about every quarter of the year but it takes more than 3 years for fresh supplies of radiation monitoring devices to be made in the hospitals where radiation monitoring is carried out. Radiation protection supervisors were available in only 4 hospitals (40%). The majority of radiology staffs employees believe that the hospitals administration doesn’t provide allocations for this, its budget and doesn’t care about that.

Dosimetric records of staff are not given any consideration during recruitment of new staff.

Conclusion:  There are inadequate personnel radiation monitoring practices in most of functional radio-diagnostic and radio-therapeutic in western coast of Libya state, and the level of monitoring is very poor. This is a significant precautionary lapse as radiations risks cannot be assessed and corrective measures taken.

Abstract: This article briefly reviews the most common health risks associated with the accumulation of toxic trace metals lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) in human bodies. Although these trace metals can trigger any body organ, soft tissues are apparently more vulnerable to their toxicity due to changing in chemistry and metabolic activities of the body. Due to marked sensitivity of the body to Pb and Hg poisoning, the body tissues, especially those with soft nature must be avoided of exposure to these elements at all times even at their low levels of accumulation.

Abstract: One of the (unintended) outcomes of echocardiography is the increasing recognition of small or thin intracardiac structures previously seen only on autopsy. Examples of this are the nodules of Arantius, Lambl's excrescences, eustachian valve remnants, the crista terminalis, and the discrete fibromuscular structures known as left ventricular false tendons (LVFTs). Left ventricle false tendon (LVFT) is a rare structural anomaly of the heart, characterized by fibrous strands within the left ventricular cavity. It is usually considered a benign finding; however, it can occasionally be associated with clinical symptoms. We present a case of LVFT in a 15-year-old boy, highlighting the importance of thorough evaluation in young individuals with atypical cardiac presentations.

Key Words: Left ventricle false tendons (LVFT), arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death (SCD), Congenital Heart Disease (CHD), benign early repolarisation (BER).

Abstract: Background: Breastfeeding is a vital source of nutrition for infants, influencing their health and development. The composition of breast milk varies between mothers of preterm and term infants, impacting neurodevelopmental outcomes. Knowledge, attitude, and practices of breastfeeding significantly influence its success, particularly among mothers of preterm infants.

Purpose: The purpose is to review the literature on Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of breastfeeding among mothers of preterm infants.

Methods: A comprehensive search strategy including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar, identified 17 relevant studies from 2018 to 2023. The studies encompassed diverse designs, such as cross-sectional, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and observational and interventional studies.

Findings: Studies revealed varying levels of knowledge among mothers, revealing higher knowledge positively correlating with exclusive breastfeeding. Attitudes, influenced by societal acceptance and cultural beliefs played a crucial role in finding breastfeeding practices. Despite positive attitudes, challenges such as work-related issues impacted the ability to keep exclusive breastfeeding. Practices indicated gaps between knowledge and actual behavior emphasizing the need for supportive interventions. Nursing strategies including educational programs, spiritual care, and family-centered approaches were identified to reduce maternal stress and support preterm infants' mothers.

Conclusion: Targeted educational programs, workplace support, and breastfeeding-friendly environments are crucial for improving breastfeeding rates and duration. Bridging the knowledge gap in this area will contribute to developing interventions and support systems tailored to the unique needs of preterm mothers, enhancing breastfeeding outcomes for preterm infants, and informing broader healthcare practices.

Abstract: Based on former research, this review highlights the most common complications and health risks associated with the accumulation of toxic trace elements in maternal and fetal bodies during the course of pregnancy. While non-essential trace metals, including Al (aluminium), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), and lead (Pb) trigger both pregnancy and non-pregnancy situations, pregnant cases and their fetuses are obviously more susceptible to metal toxicity due to changing chemistry and metabolic activities of the body. Given the high sensitivity of pregnancy to trace-element contaminations, the pregnant women must be avoided of exposure to toxic metals at all times even at their very low concentrations.

Abstract: Fear of childbirth (FOC) is identified as fear of nothing resulting from childbirth trauma, an inability to cope with pain, and fear of potential self-harm during labor. Fear is more prevalent in the third trimester globally and pregnant mothers report a significant fear that interferes with their everyday activities and capacity to manage Childbirth. One of the causes of the increasing rate of cesarian section (CS) is FOC. It increases the level of labor pain, prolongs the duration of labor, and blocks labor. Moreover, the fear faced during vaginal birth affects lactation, infant breastfeeding behavior, and initial breastfeeding outcomes. Relaxation therapy is one of the presented interventions to decrease the FOC. Breathing exercises can reduce FOC and improve psychological wellness and pregnancy outcomes in Primipara women. Meditation by the Qur'an is also one of the non-pharmacological pain relief interventions during pregnancy and labor. Our study will cover the gap left by the limited research in Saudi Arabia on the effects of relaxation therapy on reducing fear of childbirth and breastfeeding efficacy among Saudi primigravida women in the third trimester.

Abstract: Chapter II of this document focuses on the topic of spousal involvement during childbirth, with a specific emphasis on the context of Saudi Arabia. The chapter begins with an introduction highlighting the significance of childbirth in marking the beginning of parenthood and its impact on the well-being of both the mother and the baby. It emphasizes the role of external support, particularly from husbands, in enhancing the birthing experience and improving postpartum outcomes.

The method of review is then outlined, detailing the use of the PICOT framework to formulate the research question and a comprehensive search strategy involving databases like PubMed, CINAHL, and Google Scholar. Inclusion and exclusion criteria are established to ensure the selection of relevant studies, and the process of data extraction is explained.

The quality assessment of selected papers is conducted using the criteria developed by Hawker et al. (2002), and all reviewed studies are deemed to have high quality. The results of the search are presented, categorizing them into women's attitudes toward husband's participation, barriers to spousal involvement in childbirth (including individual, cultural, and logistical barriers), and a comparison between Saudi Arabia and other countries.

The discussion section analyzes the findings, highlighting the positive attitudes of women toward spousal participation, perceived barriers such as lack of awareness and cultural norms, and a comparison between Saudi Arabia and other nations in terms of healthcare provider involvement and the type of support husbands offer.

A notable gap in existing studies is identified, particularly in understanding the long-term effects on family dynamics and marital connections post-childbirth. The discussion calls for further research on the perspectives of husbands, the impact of socioeconomic conditions, and the influence of cultural differences on spousal involvement during childbirth.

The chapter concludes with a summary that provides an overview of the key issues discussed, including women's attitudes, spousal roles, and barriers to involvement. Additionally, the chapter introduces the PRISMA Framework, indicating its future use in the systematic review and meta-analysis of healthcare research on this topic

Abstract: This review synthesizes the existing literature on fertility preservation knowledge and attitudes among female cancer patients, a subject growing in significance at the intersection of oncology and reproductive health. It encompasses diverse studies, including empirical research, theoretical analyses, and case studies, thereby furnishing a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter. The research's context is anchored in the escalating necessity for fertility preservation awareness among cancer patients, a need propelled by the advancements in cancer treatment and the increasing prevalence of cancer among women of reproductive age. The pivotal research question probes into the perceptions of fertility preservation among female cancer patients and gauges the extent of their awareness regarding the available options. This review is of great importance, as it delves into a relatively unexplored domain within a distinct cultural and geographical setting, enriching the global discourse on cancer care and reproductive rights. The review meticulously scrutinizes studies utilizing qualitative and quantitative methodologies, ensuring an exhaustive topic analysis. The findings unveil a pervasive lack of awareness and knowledge about fertility preservation within the target demographic, a situation further complicated by the cultural and religious contexts that shape attitudes toward fertility preservation. These findings highlight the imperative for augmented educational initiatives and policy interventions to bolster fertility preservation awareness and accessibility. The review concludes with a discussion of the implications of these findings for healthcare providers, policymakers, and cancer care advocates. It underscores the need for culturally attuned educational programs and policy reforms to support FP. This scholarly endeavour augments the academic discourse on fertility preservation in the context of cancer care and bears significant practical implications for enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life.Top of Form

Abstract: This research investigated the multifaceted factors that influence help-seeking behaviors among individuals diagnosed with mental disorders. Help-seeking behaviors is a critical aspect of mental health care utilization. Yet, it is often hindered by a range of individual, social, and structural barriers. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive understanding of these factors in order to develop targeted interventions that can improve timely access to mental health services. This study is framed social behaviors theory which explain on the function of individuals predisposition to use the service, enabling factors that either facilitate or impede the use of a service, and the need for the service. Drawing upon qualitative approach, and case study research design through interviews helped to capture a holistic perspective of the influence on help-seeking behaviors. The findings suggested that stigma and lack of awareness about mental health services were significant barriers that deterred individuals from seeking help. Moreover, cultural norms and family dynamics played a pivotal role in shaping attitudes towards mental health care. The study also posited the role of good help and support services in influencing help-seeking behaviors, with implications for designing accessible interventions. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge regarding the factors that impact help-seeking behaviors among individuals with mental disorders. By identifying these factors, mental health professionals, policymakers, and advocates can tailor strategies to reduce barriers, increase awareness, and promote a more supportive environment for individuals in need of mental health support.

Abstract: Traditional thyroid and parathyroid surgeries have conventionally been conducted through a cervical incision, exposing the thyroid gland. Despite the safety and low complication rates associated with experienced surgeons, some patients are left with noticeable neck scars. Recent technological advancements have enabled surgeons to perform thyroid removal from distant locations, thus avoiding visible neck scars.

Τhe minimally invasive video-assisted technique introduced by Miccoli et al. is the most commonly employed. However, advancements have led to the emergence of innovative approaches that eliminate the need for neck scars. These include the endoscopic and robotic transaxillary retroauricular and transoral approaches, which have demonstrated safety and effectiveness across diverse international populations.

This article provides an overview of these surgical techniques to help inform surgeons about the surgical procedures of these new minimally invasive thyroid approaches.

Abstract: Mother-to-Child transmission of HIV (MTCT) remains a key Public Health problem and continues to account for a substantial proportion of new HIV infections among young children. This study was conducted to assess Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of pregnant women attending Antenatal Clinics (ANC) towards mother-to-child transmission of HIV at various primary healthcare centers across Gwagwalada Area Council. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was employed and data obtained through self-administered questionnaire. Data was collected from 414 pregnant women residing and attending antenatal unit in the primary healthcare centers, hospitals and teaching hospital within Gwagwalada Area Council and the data collected was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 24.0. The result showed that about a half (48.7%) them had fair knowledge regarding MTCT. The proportion of those that had good and poor knowledge were 29.2% and 22.1% respectively. Of the majority (96.4%), reported to have been tested for HIV during ANC, more than two-third (67.1%) claimed of putting personal effort to prevent MTCT. About three-quarter (72.0%) of the respondents considered level of education as a factor affecting the attitude of pregnant women towards the PMTCT, majority considered factors such as lack of partner involvement (88.0%), lack of information about PMTCT (96.8%), stigma (97.8%), distance (98.3%), unavailability of PMTCT services (97.1%) and husband permission (93.5%) as contributory factors that affect the pregnant women’s attitude towards the PMTCT services. The study showed that there was a relationship between the age of the respondents and the practice of PMTCT (P = 0.003). Therefore, educational campaigns should be continued at all levels of healthcare to create more awareness of HIV/AIDS and PMTCT among pregnant women, in order to promote their understanding about the disease to reduce stigma and discrimination as well as provide support for those who are affected.

Abstract: Primigravida women dread childbirth, which could result in poor emotional and psychological health and more obstetric interventions. For women, the processes of pregnancy and childbirth are unlike anything else. Fear of giving birth is widespread, particularly in primigravida women. Due to the perception of labor as a painful process, attention has been focused on labor pain and birthing anxiety. Women have resorted to rites or other coping mechanisms and sought the advice of more seasoned women throughout history, regardless of culture. Despite being a joyful experience, pregnancy can also bring on fear and concern. Fear of childbirth (FOC) prevalence rates range from 4% to 20% across the countries. In affluent countries, 20% of expectant mothers fear childbirth, and 6%–10% say that their fear is so intense that it is disabling.

Abstract: One of the most common issues among lactating women is breast engorgement. To reduce the level of pain brought on by breast engorgement, both pharmaceutical and nonpharmacological methods are used. The majority of moms are quite concerned about pharmaceutical methods regarding how they can impact the infant. Because they are concerned about the negative side effects of chemical medications and are looking to identify the simplest, most effective nonpharmacological treatments to cure engorgement, breastfeeding women aim to adopt alternative and complementary therapies.

Abstract: Admissions to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are frequent and have been connected to mother stress and anxiety. There are many ways in which maternal stress and anxiety affect maternal and child outcomes. Infant massage, kangaroo care, and gentle touch are all examples of positive touch. Positive touch may be a useful technique to lessen mother stress and anxiety. In this study, we conducted a scoping review to look into the evidence on the effect of positive touch on maternal stress and anxiety. We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases from inception to October 8, 2023, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed the effect of positive touch modalities, either combined or separately, on maternal stress and anxiety levels and compared them to a control group. We evaluated the quality of the studies using version 2 of the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. We followed the PRISMA guidelines for reporting systematic reviews and meta-analyses extension for scoping reviews. A total of 15 RCTs were included. Compared to the control group, infant massage consistently significantly reduced parental stress and anxiety across all the studies. Kangaroo care significantly lowered mother stress and anxiety in the majority of the included trials, whereas other studies found the opposite. Gentle touch was the least studied in the literature and was found to have a positive effect on reducing maternal stress in only one study. All three methods combined showed significant reduction in the maternal stress and anxiety compared to the control group. In conclusion, positive touch is an effective intervention for reducing stress and anxiety levels in mothers of premature infants in the NICU. Future large, high-quality RCTs are required to confirm the findings.

Abstract: Background: Immunization is one of the most cost-effective interventions with proven strategies to reach the vulnerable populations. It is also a proven tool for controlling and eliminating life threatening infectious diseases. It also prevents illness, disability and deaths from vaccine preventable diseases averting estimated 2-3 million deaths each year.

Method: A descriptive survey research design was adopted, one hundred 100 nursing mothers were used for the study. The instruments used for the study was a self-structured questionnaire. Simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample for the study.  Data collected were analysed using frequency, counts and percentage table for demographic information.

Result: The findings of the study revealed that behaviour/attitude of healthcare workers and lack of enough information were determinants of incomplete routine immunization, while life style, religion and belief were not determinants of incomplete routine immunization. However, level of education, distance to health facility, life style, religion and belief were jointly determinants of incomplete routine immunization among nursing mothers in Jericho specialist hospital.

Conclusion: Based on the findings of the study; it is therefore recommended that State Government and Philanthropists should assist in building more health care facilities close to the communities for easy accessibility. Effort should be geared towards public campaign using local dialect to encourage them to complete routine immunization. In addition, community mobilization should be strengthening especially among nursing mothers to be fully informed about the merits of completing the routine immunization and to avert childhood morbidity and mortality in our society.

Abstract: Background: maternal/foetal mortality and morbidity could be reduced by making use of timely consultations, an efficient referral system, basic and comprehensive emergency obstetric care to pregnant women and their new-borns.  This study was carried out in other to compare maternofoetal outcome and to evaluate the types of delays experienced by women.

The main objective was to evaluate maternal and foetal outcome of obstetric referrals.

Method: A case control study was carried out. All pregnant women that were referred, consented and met with the inclusion criteria were recruited as cases, while those who came to deliver on their own were recruited as the controls. Data were collected on pretested questionnaires. The chi square test was used as nonparametric test.

Result: Most of the participants 75.4% (n=49) were found between 15-30 years. The majority (n=35, 53.8%) of pregnant women were referred from health centres. Cases with at least one delay was twice that of the controls (cases 42, 64.6% controls 22, 33.8% p value =0.00). 6.2 %and 9.8 %babies delivered from cases and control group respectively were born dead. Admission in the Neonatal intensive care unit was in greater proportion for the babies delivered from cases than the controls (cases 15, 23.1% controls 9, 13.8% p value=0.175). Most of the women delivered through ceserian section (cases 27, 41.5% controls 32, 49.2% p value =0.378). No maternal mortality was recorded. 60% of the women spent 7-14days in the hospital.

Conclusion: for non-referred pregnant women, maternal outcome is poor but foetal outcome is better.

Abstract: Ximenia americana stem (XA) bark extract is widely used by several Africa traditional medical practitioners for the treatment of breast cancer and other neoplastic diseases due to its effectiveness, safety and availability. This study was aimed at formulating the extract as a solid pharmaceutical product. The stem bark extract of Ximenia americana was obtained by maceration technique and thereafter screened for its phytochemical contents and in-vitro cytotoxicity. Five different batches of XA granules were prepared by wet granulation technique and their flow properties investigated via standard pharmaceutical methods. Subsequently the granules batches were formulated as capsules. Uniformity of capsule weight, the capsule crushing strength as well as the drug release profiles of each batch were determined. The crude extract yield was 23% w/w and revealed the presence of cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, saponins, and tannin. All the batches of XA granules were fairly free flowing with ranking order of flowability: XA₂ ≤ XA₄ ≤ XA₅ ≤ XA₁ ≤ XA_3. The capsule weight was uniform as none of the batch deviated from the mean by 5%. All the batches disintegrated to release the active medicament with the pharmacopeia stipulated time of 15 minutes and the capsules crushing strength were well above the official limit of 4.5KgF. The cumulative amount of XA in solution at 45 minutes were above 75%, indicating compliance with the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards. There is however the need for the optimization these XA formulations before commercial scale up.

Abstract: The review is aimed at delivering current updates on the various applications of nanotechnology in cancer chemotherapeutics. This involves the use of nano scale technology to deliver anti-neoplastic agents directly to cancer cells. Specifically, considerable attention will be will be given to the various nanopharmaceutical formulations currently approved for clinical uses by Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Also merits inherent in these nano-pharmaceuticals as compared to conventional drug delivery system of same drugs molecule will be critically assessed. A detailed evaluation of the various types of nanopharmaceuticals used in cancer chemotherapy is essential to expand our current nanopharmaceutical repertoire. This review revealed that there is an increased effort by researchers to formulate anticancer drugs as nanopharmaceuticals using different formulation methods. These nano formulations offers improved bioavailability, smart drug delivery and reduced adverse drug reactions of most cytotoxic agents. There is therefore an increasing role and application of nanotechnology in smart drug delivery system.

Abstract: The problem of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) has affected a major portion of public health globally particularly those produced by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria and, more importantly, the healthcare-associated MDRO infections. The study aimed to determine the occurrence of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) at a tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. A retrospective passive surveillance was performed to find out the incidence of multiple drug-resistant organisms in a tertiary care hospital in Lahore, Pakistan. A total of 799 culture & sensitivity tests performed between 1 January 2022 to 31, December 2022 were reviewed and examined to determine the bacterial infections and their sensitivity to different antibiotics. All the reports, positive for a microorganism were shortlisted and then analyzed to find the multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO). Any pathogen resistant to at least 1 antibiotic from 3 different classes of antibiotics was recorded as a multiple drug-resistant organism (MDRO). Out of 899 reports of culture & sensitivity performed in 2022, 585 (65%) were positive for any bacterial infections and 147 (25%) culture & sensitivity reports were positive for MDROs. Multidrug-resistant organisms can contribute a lot of burden for patients, their families, and healthcare institutions in terms of length, cost of stay at the hospital, frustration for the patients and families, and depletion of resources for the healthcare institutions. Therefore, allocating some resources to deal with this prevailing issue is very important.
