Fusobacterium nucleatum is one of the most abundant gram-negative bacilli colonizing the subgingival plaque and closely associated with periodontal disease. The aim of study was to calculate the inhibition of snail mucus against Fusobacterium nucleatum bacteria with concentrations of 12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 100%. This study used a laboratory experimental test method and was conducted at the Oral Biology Laboratory, Faculty of Dentistry, Airlangga University. The steps were performed are: plant germ stock with sterile osse on BHI broth media then incubate for 48 hours, observe the turbidity of the germs then standardize with mc farland standard 0.5, plant germs on Hilton Muller agar media with the spreading technique, treat the test sample on sterile paper disk as much as 0, 01 ml with a sterile micropipette, then paste it on the surface of the media so that it is then incubated for 48 hours. Then, observe and measure the diameter of the clear zone. The results show that the average inhibition in the control group is 25.65 mm, and the snail mucus group is 12.5%, 0 mm, 25%, 12.40 mm, 50%, 16.70 mm and 100% 19.60 mm.

Malaria in pregnancy is estimated to cause about 15% of maternal deaths globally, accounting for over 10,000 maternal and 200,000 neonatal deaths annually. This study determined the prevalence and risk factors of malaria infection among pregnant women receiving antenatal care in a health facility in Delta State. Methods: This was a facility-based cross-sectional study carried out among 418 pregnant women who were selected by systematic sampling technique. Clinical malaria was confirmed using microscopy method (Giemsa staining technique) while a pre-tested, structured, interviewer administered questionnaire was used to collect information on soscio-demographic characteristics and obstetrics history of the respondents. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 and the level of statistical significance was set at p< 0.05. Results: The mean age of the participants was 29.9 ± 5.7 years. Two hundred and sixty three (62.9%) pregnant women tested positive for malaria. Respondents who were pregnant for the second time (AOR = 0.521, 95% CI: 0.28 – 0.99, p = 0.045) and those from a family size of 1-6 (AOR = 2.123, 95% CI: 1.12 – 4.04, p = 0.022) were more likely to test positive to malaria parasite. Conclusion: In this study, the prevalence of malaria in pregnant women was high and the significant predictors were; family size of 1–6, skill level 1, first trimester and multigravidae. The Delta State Ministry of Health should ensure increasing access to IPT, ITNs/LLIN and health education on malaria in all hospitals rendering ANC services.","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":"85356091","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}

Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the radiation dose to the breast during a head CT scan in Enugu State. Methods: This cross-sectional study which involved 52 adults women selected purposively, described the radiation doses received by shielded and unshielded breasts during head CT examinations. The relationship between the anthropo-technical parameters Age, height, weight, BMI, breast circumferences, and distance from the External Auditory Meateus (EAM) to the TLD, kVp, mA, and the DLP was determined using Pearsons’ Correlation. Results: The mean of CTDIvol, DLP, and breast circumferences (left shielded and right unshielded) are 29.43±40.0mGy, 540.8±107.03mGy, and left shielded breast (4.71±2.45mGy) and right unshielded breast (5.0±2.32mGy). There were positive correlations but not statistically significance between breast absorbed dose and BMI (r =0.152, p= 0.291), linear distance from EAM to TLD (r= 0.032, p = 0.828) and mAs (r= 0.100, p = 0.492), while there was negative correlation but not statistically significance exist with subjects’ age (r= -0.112, p = 0.439). Conclusion: There was a significant difference in the amount of radiation doses received by shielded and unshielded breasts during head CT, with low radiation doses received by shielded breasts. Shielding of the breast greatly reduces the radiation dose received by the breast during head CT. Therefore, we recommend that shielding of the breasts during head CT should form a standard protocol in our setting.","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":"75191614","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}

This condition builds rational pathogen respiration in the oral cavity resulting in high-risk pneumonia. The risk group for HAP is over 70 years old, who have serious co-morbidities, malnutrition, decreased consciousness, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Prevention of nosocomial infections requires integrated and programmed actions to reduce the transmission of organisms.

The sample of this study was each 16 respondents in the intervention group receiving dental and oral care and the control group receiving treatment as per the dental health national standard Indonesia Kepmenkes No.284, 2006.

Socio-demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the gender of the household head as it influences and impacts health shocks and OOP payments have received very little attention globally. This study investigated the gender perspective on health shocks, health expenditures and coping mechanisms in North Central, Nigeria. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analytical study involving both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. A total of 1,192 households were studied using multi-stage sampling technique in both rural and urban communities in North Central, Nigeria. Data was analysed with SPSS version 20, and qualitative analysis was done by thematic analysis. Results: The finding showed that 458 (38.4%) of the respondents were female-headed households (FHHs). Female-headed households were less educated, earned lower income, resided more in rural communities and were less insured than male-headed households (MHHs). Health shocks were higher among the FHHs and they also pay higher percentage of their household expenditure for healthcare through higher OOP payments. Also, more FHHs experienced Catastrophic Health Expenditure (CHE) and reported effects of health shocks on reduction in food consumption and loss of income than MHHs. Age, income, occupation and household size are all factors that influenced health shocks in this study. Conclusions: Innovative ways to financially protect women must be employed, to close up the equity gap and bring Nigeria closer to achieving UHC.","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":"78784803","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}
