In the United States, minority young adult population have a higher excessive alcohol consumption rate of HIV infection disproportionately infected with the disease than any other racial group. The continued spread of HIV among this vulnerable population has led to a need to identify risk and protective factors and evidence-based prevention strategies to reduce the transmission of the disease. A popular approach is the comprehensive, integrated HIV prevention program (CIHPP), a program based on the ecological epistemology framework. This framework views risk factors as a multilevel concentric system, including the individual, family, community, and societal levels. The theory asserts that any meaningful prevention strategy should examine the effect of these different levels on the population of interest. This study aims at testing the effectiveness of the CIHPP in raising awareness and excessive alcohol consumption risk of minority young adults.","PeriodicalId":355321,"journal":{"name":"Current Trends in Clinical & Medical Sciences","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121479918","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}

Recently, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) stated that nearly half (46.8%) of young adults surveyed across 42 states, had engaged in sexual intercourse and were currently sexually active [1]. This paper summarizes the role that case management, using telehealth, can play on increasing sexual communication self-efficacy, ultimately reducing STIs on campus. After testing positive for an STI (N=11), the implementation of a telehealth appointment with a nurse took place in conjunction with the administration of the Sexual Communication Self-Efficacy Scale (SCSES), before and after the sexual health education. The outcomes revealed that young adults, ages 18 to 24, already possess a high level of sexual self-efficacy, although they lack knowledge of their personal risk for contracting STIs. Furthermore, themes gathered during the telehealth appointment, including • The desire for easy access. • The need for support from a trusted health care provider, validates the desire of this population to pursue sexual health appointments and STI checks if a telehealth platform is available.","PeriodicalId":355321,"journal":{"name":"Current Trends in Clinical & Medical Sciences","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117091032","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}

Eighteen client-owned healthy, munchkin cats (3 males, 15 females), between 9-month-old and 6-year-old, weighing from 1.5-2.9 kg were used in the study. Six spot-on parasiticides which are commercially available in Thailand including selamectin (SE), moxidectin + imidacloprid (MI), praziquantel + emodepside(PE), fipronil + (S)-methoprene + eprinomectin + praziquantel (FMEP), fluralaner (FL) and fipronil + (S)-methoprene (FM) were assessed after their respective application to the skin between shoulder blades of the 18 cats. Stickiness scores (STS) and drying time scores (DTS) were evaluated and recorded at 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 and 48 h after drug administration (DA). SE and MI groups showed the most satisfying scores of STS at 3 h after DA, STS in all groups was zero (not sticky) at 48 h after DA. For DTS, the SE and FL groups had the most satisfying score at 0.5 and 1 h after DA, DTS in all groups were zero (dry) at 24 h after DA. Some skin lesions such as erythema and alopecia were found in the MI and FMEP groups but the lesions completely recovered and all cats had normal general health throughout the study. From the study results, all of the 6 spot-on parasiticides are safe for cats and are acceptable for cat owners.","PeriodicalId":355321,"journal":{"name":"Current Trends in Clinical & Medical Sciences","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129395006","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 routine and compulsory household maintenance task often leads them to musculoskeletal pain (MSP). Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the areas of musculoskeletal pain in different parts of the body as a result of household work among rural homemakers in Bangladesh and in this case to detect their health-seeking behaviors. Materials and Methods: Three hundred and forty one randomly selected married homemakers’ living in the rural area of Barishal division of Bangladesh who has experienced any type of musculoskeletal pain at least once in life due to household work participated in this cross sectional study. Data were collected by pretested semi-structured questionnaire through face to face interview. Results: The one year pattern of MSP among respondents were lower back (80.46%), followed by knee (24.4%), neck (19.13%), upper-back (11.3%), shoulder (5.3%), hips/thighs (5.46%), ankle/feet (4.8%), wrist/hand (4.4%), and elbow (3.4%). Lower back pain had an association with lifting heavy objects, number of children, educational qualification, age and awkward/faulty postures (p<0.05). Total working experiences more than 10 years was associated with upper back pain (p<0.05).Further, pain in the wrist/hand and knee (P <0.05) was linked with awkward position and spending more than 8 hours a day doing homework. In addition, there was a relationship between repetitive work and wrist/hand pain (p<0.05). In contrast, three-fourth received treatment for their pain. Of these, 54.9% sought treatment from the para-professional health service providers. ` This study shows that housework exposed musculoskeletal pain on the different sites of the body. Although sufferers sought treatment in this regard, it is necessary to improve policies & intervention for reducing possible risks of musculoskeletal pain among homemakers.","PeriodicalId":355321,"journal":{"name":"Current Trends in Clinical & Medical Sciences","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125138370","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}
