{"title":"Perception and Practice of Cervical Cancer Screening among Female Professionals Attending Gynaecology Clinic at A University Teaching Hospital","authors":"C. Oguejiofor, J. E. Okonkwo, J. James","doi":"10.47363/jdcrs/2023(4)135","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47363/jdcrs/2023(4)135","url":null,"abstract":"Background: By using the right screening tools and preventative measures, cervical cancer can be avoided. However, the underuse of preventative measures is caused by a lack of information and awareness. Professional women with sufficient knowledge can have a significant positive impact on the attitudes and behaviours of the broader public. So, we evaluated how professional women perceived and used cervical cancer screening. Objectives: To evaluate how female professionals who visit gynaecology clinics view and approach cervical cancer screening. Methods: A cohort of 160 consenting female professionals working at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), Nnewi, Nigeria, were used in this facility-based, single-center, descriptive, cross-sectional study. Participants filled up questionnaires about their knowledge assessment, screening for cervical cancer, and personal characteristics that influence them. Simple percentages, charts, and IBM SPSS Statistics 26 for Windows, version 26.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) were used to portray and analyse the data. Results: The analysis employed a total of 160 questionnaires completed by research participants. All of the selected female professionals knew about cervical cancer screening, with nurses (49.3%) making up the majority. However, just 29.6% of them were aware that cervical cancer is connected to sexually transmitted diseases, and 33.2% were unaware that it is connected to age at first sexual activity. Only 93.2% of respondents had heard of Pap smears, despite the fact that every respondent had heard and read about cervical cancer and its screening. Despite the knowledge, only 44 (27.5%) had performed Pap tests and only 76(47.5%) had ever recommended cervical cancer screening to people. Of the women surveyed, 148 (92.5%) said they would be willing to have a cervical cancer screening, while 18 (11.25%) said they would decline. Conclusion: Despite more knowledge and awareness, the rate of cervical cancer screening among female professionals in Nnewi is still below average and insufficient. Cervical cancer can be avoided. Eliminating the morbidity and mortality frequently linked with cervical cancer would need deliberate efforts to increase screening methods' uptake and utilisation.","PeriodicalId":228079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diagnosis & Case Reports","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129225950","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}

The modern cruise industry is also one of the most outstanding examples of globalization, with an increasing number of ports of call and destinations around the globe. Along with economic, social and financial benefits, are environmental issues that have had negative impact on countries. The environmental sustainability of the cruise line industry, as seen through the lenses of Falmouth Pier port of call is the interest of this study. Using qualitative case studies, a semi-structured interview was administered to an excess of thirty respondents from the Falmouth Pier. Along with a comprehensive review of extant literature, the findings revealed that substantial measures are taken against the destruction of the marine environment, however, more can be done to ensure greater efficiency. It is recommended that the industry adopts a go-green policy and an eco-friendlier approach to its operation.","PeriodicalId":228079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diagnosis & Case Reports","volume":"433 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122875015","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}

We detail a case study of a 61-year-old patient, presenting with spontaneous splenic rupture, diagnosed through various clinical examinations, blood tests, and imaging studies. A comprehensive discussion follows, shedding light on the different causes of non-traumatic splenic rupture, diagnostic challenges, and the significance of CT scan in confirming the diagnosis and grading the severity of the injury. This article further highlights the criteria established by Orloff and Peskin, as well as Crate and Payne, for diagnosing spontaneous splenic rupture. We conclude by emphasizing the need for heightened clinical suspicion in diagnosing spontaneous splenic rupture, the critical role of abdominal CT scan in such cases, and the necessity of considering laparotomy for patients with high-grade injuries who do not respond to resuscitation.","PeriodicalId":228079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diagnosis & Case Reports","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129248133","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}

The adaptation concept can have a narrower sphere, including only the functional, biophysical and anatomical modifications; in a wider meaning, the sphere extends to everything that represents changed functions and structures, which allow the development of life, even in extremely unfavourable environment conditions, until non lethal pathological alterations. Sexuality does not have only a reproductive biological function, but it has others as well: multiplicative, fortifying, selective, diversifying. The adaptation of organism to the life conditions is realized mainly by the adaptation of metabolism. Knowing the biophysical and biochemical regulation leads amongst others – to an even wider conception about the functions of the metabolism in the living organism.","PeriodicalId":228079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diagnosis & Case Reports","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127183088","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}
