Results: Around 96% of mothers had never heard of HPV, and 98% were unaware that the virus's transmission could be halted. Only 3.3% of mothers were aware that HPV can cause cervical cancer, although, during IDI, it was seen that the majority of mothers said that cervical cancer is a communicable disease. Nearly 98% of mothers wanted their daughters to get vaccinated. Service providers had a good understanding of HPV, HPV vaccine, and cervical cancer. All service providers during KII agreed that if they had received adequate training on HPV vaccination and cervical cancer, they could have treated their patients better. Conclusion: The findings of this study have important implications for the design and advocacy of HPV immunization programs in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":23608,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73061649","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}

Management: Anesthesia management was performed under general anesthesia with post-operative care in ICU. Prior to induction, pre-oxygenated with 100% O2 was performed, followed by Rapid Sequence Induction with Ketamine 70 mg, and Rocuronium 50 mg. After the patient had fallen asleep the Sellick maneuver was performed, intubated with ETT no. 6.5. Anesthesia maintenance with Sevoflurane 1 vol%, and 100% oxygen. Fentanyl 50 μg was given after the baby was born. Outcome: In this patient, general anesthetic technique was preferred over regional anesthetic technique for better maternal and fetal outcomes because this patient had already experienced respiratory failure and fetal distress, so a caesarean section was decided as soon as possible. The operation lasted for two hours, with SpO2 during the operation reaching 85% and a live baby boy was born with APGAR scores at the 1st ,3rd and 5th minute 6.

It is caused by an autoimmune reaction to the hemidesmosomal proteins in basal keratinocytes, causing an inflammatory cascade and subsequent bullae formation. It is rarely encountered in infants, children, and middle-aged adults. Herein, a case of Bullous pemphigoid in a 37-year old female patient is reported. The patient presented with a three-month history of multiple serous fluid-filled tense blisters on the face, neck, trunk, flexor and extensor surfaces of the extremities up to the lower thigh, with areas of excoriation, peeling, erosion and crusting. No involvement of the mucous membranes noted. The lesions were associated with intense pruritus and pain upon rupture. Patient had no other subjective complaints and had an unremarkable past medical history. Patient was initially treated with antibiotics but noted no improvement in her condition. Histologic evaluation of the skin was done and revealed a subepidermal vesicular dermatitis with prominent neutrophilic infiltrates. No hyphae or spores were seen. With these findings, patient was admitted and treated with systemic steroids, antibiotics, and antipruritic medications. Direct Immunofluorescence was done and yielded findings consistent with the diagnosis of Bullous Pemphigoid. The overall response of the patient to therapy was satisfactory. The differentiation of Bullous pemphigoid from other subepidermal bullous diseases is important due to the potential of systemic manifestations and complications of the other diseases. The importance of clinical, histopathologic and immunologic findings in confirming the diagnosis of Bullous Pemphigoid is highlighted in this case report.","PeriodicalId":23608,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83138896","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}

Results: Forty respondents (95%) had implemented the HPS programme. Over 400 schools were involved in the HPS programme of which two-thirds were primary schools. The most common activities addressed were health education activities. Less frequently mentioned were healthy school policies, action on the social environment, and developing links with the community. Evaluation was only through internal processes. The main perceived strengths of the HPS were increasing the awareness of students and school staff and improving the school’s physical environment. The main weakness was the lack of legislation and financial support. For further development, the respondents reported the need for financial and human support. Conclusion: This study highlights the growth of the schools participating in the HPS programme.

Methodology: We investigated this vulnerability through cross-sectional studies with a mixed-method approach. on female adolescents aged 15-19 years, residing in the Bauniabadh and the Ta block Jhil Par slums together with service providers. The quantitative method included a household survey of adolescents (n=144) through a semi-structured pre-tested questionnaire. The qualitative method included interviews with service providers (n=10) and with adolescents (n=9). Result: The study revealed changes in length, duration and flow of menstruation, substandard menstrual hygiene practices and impediments to the uptake of reproductive health (RH) information by adolescents during the pandemic. Married pregnant adolescents are inclined in taking their antenatal checkups (ANC) only during the last trimester and preferred delivery at home during the pandemic. There was also an increase in marriage among these adolescents and service providers had difficulty providing door-to-door RH services. Most of our female adolescents were married off during the pandemic, they lost connection with their friends and this made them feel lonely and secluded. They did not receive the support of their friends as before the pandemic. Conclusion: The study will enable the adolescent health expert to focus on the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of vulnerable adolescents living in impoverished conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":23608,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75869797","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}

Methods: Association between CD320, VitB12, active B12 levels in mothers with anaemia were analysed before they underwent labor and in blood collected from their newborns after labor. Regression analysis was performed in order to assess the relation between the mothers and their neonatal vitamin CD320 levels in relation to their Vit B12 status. Results: Among the 200 pregnant mothers recruited, 59% were anaemic. CD320 levels were significantly higher in anaemic mothers (414.09 ±10.75 pg/ml) when compared with cord blood (372.25 ± 7.81 pg/ml). CD320 levels were higher in both mother and cord blood with Vit B12 deficiency, however, were lower in mothers with active B12 deficiency. CD320 levels in cord blood were positively associated with haemoglobin (r value 0.8, p value 0.42) of mothers and negatively with serum folate (r value -0.15; p value 0.23), Vit B12(r value -0.21; p value0.28) and active Vit B12 levels (r value -0.25; p value0.03) in mothers.

The view that medicine as a product of science is contrary to faith and belief in God's care for the health of the human body is a theological distortion. the pharmacist’s role is equated with relying on humans and not relying on God. This study assesses perspectives on medicine and pharmacists in the Indonesian Christian community. This research is a descriptive study using questionnaire. Respondents were randomly selected from all provinces in Indonesia following the proportion of the Christian population in the province. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were tested using the composite reliability (CR) method and Cronbach's alpha with a significance level of 5%. The questionnaire was assessed using a Likert scale and the results were classified into very good, good, and poor. This study shows the community's perspective on medicine still needs to be improved (32.6% very good, 40.6% good, and 26.8% poor). For Indonesian Christian community, the hesitation to use medicine is caused by the teaching that faith and God's promises in the Bible are sufficient to heal and maintain human health. While the perspective of pharmacists in the treatment process shows better results (45.4% very good, 36.2% good, and 18.4% poor).","PeriodicalId":23608,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86170163","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}
