A considerable proportion of children with epilepsy have various other disorders such as ADHD, learning problems, psychosocial difficulties, mental retardation, cerebral palsy or other disabilities. Objective: To assess the prevalence of cognitive and psychosocial dysfunction in children with epilepsy aged 6 14 yrs. Methodology: This is a cross sectional hospital based the study, included 100 children with age group ranging from 6 12 yrs., attending the neurology outpatient services for epilepsy. Cognitive assessment of the children was done by adopting the MISIC (Malins Intelligence Scale for Indian Children) scale. Psychosocial assessment was done by adopting the Developmental Psychopathology Checklist for children (DPCL) Results:Psychosocial dysfunction is observed in 36% of children with epilepsy. The prevalence of various disorders found in epilepsy patients are Learning disorders 30%, Emotional disorders 21%, Conduct disorders 5%, ADHD was 12% and Psychoses was 1%. Conclusion: Cognitive and psychosocial dysfunction are the major comorbid disorders in children with epilepsy.","PeriodicalId":14489,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88148745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hepatitis C virus infection is a major health problem among dialysis patients in developing countries. This study was conducted to measure the prevalence of HCV and to identify the possible risk factors associated with HCV infection among haemodialysis patients at dialysis centers in Khartoum State, Sudan. Methods: A crosssectional facility based study was conducted at ten dialysis centers. A total of 287 subjects were selected. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics and risk factors. ELISA was used to test sera for anti-HC. For the analysis, Z-test and Chi-Square test were used. Results: Field workers interviewed ten dialysis centers with a total of 287 study subjects. Sixty out of 287 (20.9%) was found to be anti-HC reactive. The multivariate analysis indicated as risk factors associated to antiHCV positivity the number of blood transfusion received, duration of dialysis treatment, number of units of treatment, history of surgeries, multiple injections and using share razors. P values = (0.0001, 0.0031, 0.0001, 0.0018, 0.0005 and 0.0002) respectively. The study demonstrated the that, duration of dialysis, changing of units of treatment, blood transfusions received, history of surgeries, multiple injections and share razors were considered important risk factors for anti-HC positivity.","PeriodicalId":14489,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78822582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An understanding of the antioxidant defense system may be helpful in management and care of the disease. Albumin, Uric acid, catalase activity and total antioxidant status (TAS) were determined in blood samples ofthirty five (35) pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) patients (28 TB and 7 TB+HIV) on drug treatment and thirty (30) apparently healthy controls (Ziehl Neelsen test negative) by standard spectrophotometric methods. Results showed that the means of albumin (30.66mmol/L), catalase activity (50.60 IU/ml) and TAS (2.49 mmol/L) of TB patients were significantly lower than those of the control group (42.50mmol/L, 69.80 IU/ml and 4.86 mmol/L respectively). Mean uric acid (0.76mmol/L) of TB patients was significantly higher than that of (0.58mmol/L) of corresponding control. In addition, means of albumin (31.29mmol/L),uric acid (0.77 mmol/L), catalase activity (50.50 IU/ml) and TAS (2.40mmol/l) of TBgroup did not differ from the respective means ofTB+HIV patients (albumin =28.40mmol/L, uric acid =0.71mmol/L, catalase activity=51.00 IU/ml and TAS =2.81 mmol/L).Means of TAS,albumin and catalase activity of TB+HIV patients were significantly lower than respective means of control but the uric acid of TB+HIV patients (0.71 mmol/L) was higher than that of control (0.58 mmol/L).Significantly low level of plasma albumin, catalase activity and total antioxidant status observed in this study might be due to increased utilization of antioxidants to combat oxidative stress seen in TB and the increase plasma uric acid due to excessive breakdown of cells in pulmonary tuberculosis. Increased antioxidant intake may be essential in the management of TB patients.","PeriodicalId":14489,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72574565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further it can be a second opportunity to catch up growth with requirements of nutrients being high. The overall nutrition status is very poor among adolescent girls of poor rural groups.So short stature is common. Maternal stunting is a factor of increased risk and it can be attributed to chronic malnutrition. Nutritional intervention during this period can help the adolescent girl to achieve the targeted height to some extent. Objective: To study the impact of nutrition on the height of adolescent girls aged 10-18 years who are short statured due to nutritional deprivation. Method: A total of 128 adolescent girls between ages 10-18 years who were below 2SD height for age and nutritionally deprived were selected and divided into two groups’ controls and cases with 64 in each group. Nutritional intervention in the form of balanced diet with iron supplementation and deworming was given to control group and case group was provided with above diet, iron and in addition micronutrients like zinc,calcium, vitamin D, vitamin A and B-complex vitamins and milk. Both groups were followed for one year with monthly checkups and data analyzed. Results: Nutritional intervention in this study showed a significant increase in height of both groups. Themean height attained in the control group was 6.83cms/year and 7.97cms/year in the test group. When compared with the control group, test group had an additional increase in height of 1.14cms which is statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: Adequate nutrition and micronutrient supplementation of the diet of adolescent girls who are short statured and nutrionally deprived can cause a significant catch up growth in height and improve their general condition.","PeriodicalId":14489,"journal":{"name":"IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84316023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
