The effect of food waste includes the potential for pollution, eutrophication, and global warming, all of which are highly destructive to the Earth’s ecology. This study aims to determine the trends of hospital food service based on hospital waste to achieve a sustainable hospital. Material and Methods: This study examined 137 articles from the Scopus database using the descriptive-analytic method. The records issued between 2018 to 2022 that were gathered based on the keywords “hospital,” and “food,” and “waste” were used in this exploration investigation. Results: The result indicated that the three-year (93 papers) analysis trend of hospital food waste has been toward developing sustainable hospitals. The top three keywords are waste (3.3%), food (3.09%), and hospital (2.06%). The hospital food waste was positively associated with the food, food service, and hospital assessment, with correlation values ranging from 0.76 to 0.85 (p-value≥0.70). The cluster’s themes on hospital food were waste food contamination (36.13%), environmental sustainability (34.45%), and hospital food services (29.4%). Conclusion: Addressing hospital food waste is crucial for achieving sustainable hospital development. Managing food waste is essential to achieve sustainability in hospitals as it produces the highest amount compared to other sectors.","PeriodicalId":36211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Science and Medical Research","volume":"57 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141798669","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}

However, there is an insignificant paucity of research reporting any strong correlation between visual and morphological components of typical neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Hence, the objectives of the present pilot research were to assess detailed visual components and various optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters in eyes with typical nAMD, and to determine the association between them.Material and Methods: Patients identified as naïve nAMD were recruited from a public hospital in Malaysia. Distance visual acuity (DVA), near visual acuity (NVA), reading speed (RS) and contrast sensitivity (CS) were assessed. Several quantitative and qualitative morphological parameters were evaluated, using the spectral-domain OCT. Results: Fifteen newly diagnosed Typical nAMD eyes were examined. Mean (±standard deviation) DVA, NVA, CS and RS were recorded as: 0.92±0.39, 0.80±0.38, 0.75±0.39, 70.02±14, respectively. Average retinal thickness, central thickness and centre maximum thickness demonstrated good correlation (r≥0.05 with BCVA, NVA and CS. Similarly, the Centre minimum thickness demonstrated a good correlation (r≥0.50) with DVA. An intact external limiting membrane and photoreceptors inner and outer segment showed better visual components. Conclusion: This present pilot study reported visual components and OCT parameters of Malaysian eyes with Typical nAMD, with some of the OCT parameters showing good correlation with visual components. Thus, regardless of its small sample size, this present pilot study generated new knowledge and understanding in this area. Future research with a larger sample is recommended.","PeriodicalId":36211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Science and Medical Research","volume":"46 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141805701","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}

It poses a challenge for researchers as there is no viable therapy for this gradually debilitating disorder with a high malignancy potential. Ayurveda is a traditional medicinal practice of the past and present times which can be useful in providing a viable cure. Thus, the current study was designed to assess and compare the effect of Oxitard capsule and Immusante tablet on the clinical and subjective symptoms of OSMF. Material and Methods: The study included 36 patients with clinically diagnosed OSMF who were split evenly into two groups: Group A, the Oxitard group, and Group B, the Immusante group. For three months, Group A received two Oxitard capsules twice daily, while Group B received two Immusante tablets twice daily. At regular intervals, the clinical parameters were evaluated, and the data were analysed using repeated measures ANOVA and the Bonferroni post hoc test. P-value≤0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. Results: On assessment of mouth opening, tongue protrusion, cheek flexibility and subjective symptoms there was significant improvement reported in both groups. In group comparison, the Oxitard and Immusante groups showed a significant difference in cheek flexibility at 3 months. There were no significant differences in subjective symptoms in either of the groups pre- and post-treatment.

Material and Methods: At Thammasat University Hospital, our retrospective cohort comprised 1,197 pregnant women screened using the 50-g GCT based on risk factors, including a family history of GDM, obesity, and other factors. Out of these, 219 tested positive, with 83 (37.9%) diagnosed with GDM and 136 (62.1%) without GDM. Comprehensive data including baseline characteristics, as well as maternal and neonatal outcomes, were compiled. We assessed the correlations between clinical risk factors and 50-g GCT values to ascertain GDM. The positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for various cut-off levels were determined. Results: The best cutoff for the 50-g GCT for GDM diagnosis was ≥220 mg/dL with 100% PPV without adding clinical risk. The PPVs reached 75% and 100%, respectively, when combined with maternal age ≥35 years at 50-g GCT thresholds of ≥210 mg/dL and ≥220 mg/dL. A history of diabetes in the family combined with a 50-g GCT provided 100% PPV at 200 mg/dL. Conclusion: A 50-g GCT cut-off value of ≥220mg/dL is proposed for a definitive GDM diagnosis in certain circumstances, negating the need for this additional test. When a pregnant woman has a family history of diabetes, the 50-g GCT cut-off of 200 mg/dL could be a promising marker for identifying GDM.

By identifying genomic regions associated with an increased risk of RA, Genome-wide association study (GWAS) has provided insight into the genetic component of the condition. A better understanding of these characteristics is necessary to improve RA therapy. The objective is to identify gene variants associated with RA susceptibility, severity, and progression. A search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Science Direct, and MEDLINE databases revealed articles concerning rheumatoid arthritis, genetics, genetic aspects, and autoimmune disorders. The research studies considered were reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials, and systematic reviews. The data was sought from May 2016 and May 2023. Genetic factors are thought to play a significant role in the production of cytokines, the activity of immune cells, and abnormal immune responses in RA. By combining molecular genetics with clinical characteristics, it is possible to enhance RA medications and provide tailored care to each individual. Recent studies have identified several susceptibility loci and key genes associated with the development of RA, providing insight into the mechanism underlying the disease. These genetic associations can be used to develop targeted medicines and personalized care strategies for people whom have rheumatoid arthritis. The purpose of this review is to enhance the quality of life by finding the gene mechanism of patients suffering from RAl; however, more research is still required to understand genetic and environmental influences fully.","PeriodicalId":36211,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Health Science and Medical Research","volume":" 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141371368","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}
