Motivation is essential for aged individuals as it contributes to their physical health, mental well-being, social connections, continued learning, and ability to cope with life transitions. Cultivating and maintaining motivation can empower older adults to lead fulfilling lives, stay active and engaged, and find joy and meaning in their daily experiences. There are researches on motivation which focused more on younger populations, but now there is a need for more comprehensive investigations into the motivation of elderly individuals. Understanding the factors that drive and influence their behaviors can have significant implications for promoting their well-being and quality of life. This paper makes an attempt to understand the implication of motivation on elderly people and how this factor plays a crucial role in enhancing their overall well-being and quality of life.","PeriodicalId":362642,"journal":{"name":"Medicon Medical Sciences","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125590186","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 aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of Postinor on FSH, LH, prolactin and progesterone serum levels on female albino rats. The experimental animals were separated into five groups (A - E). Each group contains ten rats each (n = 10) using 5 big cages to house them. Group A served as the control, while groups B - E served as the test groups. The administration of postinor was given orally as follows: Group A (Control) received only normal feed (growers’ mash) and distilled water daily for four weeks. Group B were administered with 1ml of 1.5mg/100ml of postinor, Group C were administered with 2ml of 1.5mg/100ml of postinor, Group D were administered with 3ml of 1.5mg/100ml of postinor, Group E were administered with 4ml of 1.5mg/100ml of postinor. Determination of serum progesterone, prolactin, FSH and LH was done using ELISA TECO kit. The result, Mean and SD of FSH, LH, prolactin and progesterone serum levels on female albino rats on Postinor, in which FSH for control was 6.733±2.3485 while that of the test was 2.3485±.77746. For LH, the control was 11.5667±.77746 while that of the 1.3939±74075. For the prolactin, the control was 8.2778±.42426 while the test group was 15.7455±4.23896. For the Progesterone, the control was 0.8167±.42426 while the test was 1.5109±.36281. However, a statistically significant (P<0.05) decrease was observed for the FSH and LH of test group admin - istered with postinor while an increase was observed for the Prolactin and Progesterone levels of the test group when compared with the control. In conclusion, this present study concludes that no significant changes was observed in the body weight of all groups and Group B to E were administered with small and large doses of postinor showed significant variations.","PeriodicalId":362642,"journal":{"name":"Medicon Medical Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131857552","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}

These abnormalities impair functions and cosmetic challenges among the survivors. We aimed to describe the pattern of the congenital CNS abnormalities in our environment. Materials and Methods: We carried out a retrospective study on children who presented and managed for congenital CNS abnormalities from October 2018 to September 2022. Clinical data of the patients were retrieved from their record files, admission record and operation notes. The data were analyzed and results expressed. Results: Two-hundred and thirteen children with congenital CNS abnormalities were reviewed within the study period. Congenital hydrocephalus (48%) was the most common abnormalities seen followed spinal bifida (27%). Forty-eight percent of the children presented after two month of life. Peri-conception folic acid intake/supplementation and febrile illness occurrence during first trimester of the pregnancy were reported as 15% and 29% of the mothers respectively. Conclusion: congenital hydrocephalus and spinal bifida are the most common congenital CNS abnormalities in our practice. Many of the mothers of the affected children did not have peri-conception folic acid intake or supplementation. Prevention, early detection during ante ante-natal care and early presentation at birth of the cases are needed efforts in our society.","PeriodicalId":362642,"journal":{"name":"Medicon Medical Sciences","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114869847","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}
