This study therefore aimed at determining the correlation between hearing thresholds and habitual usage  of headphones/earphones among undergraduates of tertiary institutions in Northwestern Nigeria. \u0000Method: A cross-sectional study was  conducted on young adults, who are undergraduate students of tertiary institutions, to assess the hearing thresholds of individuals who  frequently use headphones or earphones. Ethical clearance was obtained, and participants who met specific criteria were selected.  Amultistage sampling technique was used, and 272 participants (representing 544 ears) with equal number of controls were recruited.  They completed questionnaires and underwent otoscopic examination and pure tone audiometry (PTA). Those having wax or foreign  bodies in the ears had it removed before performing PTA. The data was recorded and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Frequency tables and variable relationships were examined to determine significance, which was set at a p-value of <0.05. \u0000Result: The study involved 272  users of headphones/earphones (representing 544 ears) and an equal number of age- and sex-matched controls. The participants' ages  ranged between 18 and 33, with 50.4% being male. The pure tone average among the headphones/earphones users and the controls  ranged from 11.0 – 43.8dB, with a mean of 20.2±6.0 and 10.6 – 43.2dB, with a mean of 19.6 ± 4.5, respectively. More than half, 280/544  ears (51.5%) of the participants used headphones/earphones for over 4 years, and of these, 222/280 ears (79.3%) used them for 1 – 4  hours daily. Moderate volume was the preferred listening mode for 63.2% of the users. A moderate positive correlation was observed between hearing thresholds and hours of headphone/earphone use, and a weak positive correlation between hearing thresholds and  preferred level of loudness (r = 0.290, p < 0.0001) while no correlation was found between hearing threshold and long-term use (r = 0.003,  p = 0.937). \u0000Conclusion: This study suggests that individuals who use headphones or earphones for prolonged periods of listening hours  daily or at higher listening levels tend to have poorer hearing thresholds. ","PeriodicalId":29646,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Health Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139843627","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 study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of two perioperative/postoperative antibiotic regimens, the wound  outcome and difference in cost on healthcare between these regimens. \u0000Methods: This is an observational prospective cohort study of 290 women. Women scheduled for elective surgeries in the department  were grouped to have either a combination of ampicillin/cloxacillin (Ampiclox), Gentamicin, and Metronidazole (triple regimen) or a  combination of ceftriaxone and metronidazole (double regimen). Data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Windows version 21. The wound outcome and the cost implication of the antibiotic regimen were compared by chi-square test and t-test  as appropriate. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant. \u0000Results: The postoperative wound infection rate in this study was 7.24%. There was no statistical significant difference in postoperative  infection in the triple regimen group compared to the double regimen group. However, there was a significantly longer duration of stay  in the hospital in the triple regimen group (P <0.05). There was also a statistical significant difference in the cost of hospital stay and the  cost of antibiotics in the triple regimen group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the pattern of organisms  cultured in both groups. \u0000Conclusions: Ceftriaxone/Metronidazole regime of antibiotics showed superiority over ampicillin/cloxacillin,  Metronidazole, and Gentamicin in the prevention of postoperative wound infection, hospital stay, and reduced cost of healthcare.  \u0000  \u0000French  title: Prophylaxie antibiotique dans les procédures obstétricales et gynécologiques : une étude comparative entre deux schémas  thérapeutiques antibiotiques \u0000Contexte de l'étude: Les infections postopératoires des plaies ont un impact énorme sur la qualité de vie et contribuent considérablement au coût financier des soins aux patients.

Despite the increasing awareness of T2DM in the world and strict association of its increasing prevalence with overweight  and obesity relating to skinfold and body circumferences, incidence of T2DM and its various devastating complications continues to be on  the increase because of lack of self-explored techniques for its early prediction. The purpose of this study was to determine variation  in the anthropometric parameters using the mean value of the body circumferences, skinfolds, epicondylar breadth of the femur and  epicondylar breadth of the humerus amongst T2DM patients at two selected tertiary hospitals and non-diabetic persons in Western  Uganda. \u0000Methods: The study was composed of 202 adults. 101 Type 2 diabetic adult (T2DM) and 101 non-diabetic adults. Body (chest,  neck, waist, hip, upper arm, thigh and calf) circumferences, skinfolds (abdominal, supraspinale, midaxillary, pectoralis, subscapularis,  mid-thigh, medial calf and triceps) and bony epicondylar breadth was measured following the standard procedure for The International  Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK). \u0000Results: Significantly higher (<0.001) mean (triceps (21.581-12.331mm), subscapularis (21.547-12.093), supraspinale (20.573-8.240mm), pectoralis (14.792-6.726mm), mid-axillary (17.118-8.026mm), abdominal  (24.648- 13.643mm), calf (23.217-13.171), mid-thigh (28.288-16.414) skinfold and upper arm (33.231-27.482cm), neck (36.045-33.045cm),  calf (40.100-34.417cm), chest (99.009-85.199cm), hip (113.176-94.265cm), waist (94.738-74.607cm), thigh (60.939-50.543cm) circumference  as well as humeral (65.203-62.059) and femoral (98.556-92.292) epicondylar breadth was observed amongst the T2DM participant as  compared to the non-T2DM subjects. \u0000Conclusion: Our findings indicate a strong association between T2DM and anthropometric  parameters (skinfolds and body circumferences), thus, a risk factor in T2DM onset and its early prediction. \u0000  \u0000  \u0000French title: Importance des  paramètres anthropométriques dans la prévalence du diabète de type 2-une étude de cas d'hôpitaux sélectionnés dans l'ouest de  l'Ouganda \u0000Le diabète est un groupe de troubles métaboliques caractérisés et identifiés par la présence d'une hyperglycémie en l'absence detraitement.
