However, making the correct diagnosis is not always easy for primary care physicians. This is because the signs are not specific and the radiological image may appear very subtle to the untrained eyes. Most of the time the causes are not serious and involves soft tissue injury, but at times an important condition could be missed in an inexperienced physician. This paper presents the case of a 16-year-old boy with Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) which was overlooked. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the signs of SCFE to allow for early referrals for proper management and prevent its possible complications.","PeriodicalId":40972,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Basic and Clinical Health Sciences","volume":"45 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80551277","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}

Due to its thin, linear, and sharp pointed end, fish bone has the potential to penetrate through the oesophagus wall, or migrate extraluminally towards the surrounding structures in the neck, resulting in bizarre and lethal complications. We present an unusual case of extraluminal migration of foreign body (FB) and 2 cases of completely embedded FB in the oesophagus wall. We aim to share our experience in both conservative approach and transcervical approach for these difficult clinical problems. All of them have minimal rigid oesophagoscopy findings but possess the radiological evidence of FB. Computed tomography scan have higher sensitivity and provide good preoperative guidance, it should be done early and performed in the event of negative endoscopic evaluation. Prompt diagnosis and early retrieval of FB can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality.","PeriodicalId":40972,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Basic and Clinical Health Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91362333","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}

Data were collected by “Personal Information Form”, “Acceptance of Maternity Role” and “Acceptance of Pregnancy” sub-dimensions of the Prenatal Self-evaluation Scale and “Scale for Pregnancy Complaints and Their Impact on the Life Quality (SPCILQ)”. Descriptive statistics and Pearson Relationship Analysis were used in the analysis of the data. \u0000Results: The age average of pregnant women is 28.27±5.14, it was found that 33.8% of the pregnant women are high-school graduates, 79.8% are housewife, 86.6% have a moderate economic status, 84.2% have elementary family. The average pregnancy week of the pregnant is 31.98±8.16, the average pregnancy number is 1.60±0.48. It was determined that 78.2% of the pregnant women have a desired/planned pregnancy, 45.4% get information from physician, 41.5% get information from midwife in the prenatal controls in regard to the complaints experienced in the pregnancy. The point average which the pregnant women took from the sub-dimension of the Acceptance of Maternity Role is 37.72±4.07; the point average they took from the sub-dimension of the Acceptance of Pregnancy is 40.14±4.34; the point average they took from Scale on Complaints in Pregnancy and Its Impact on the Life Quality is 72.29±28.10. A statistically positive-way weak relationship was detected between the point average of Scale for Pregnancy Complaints and Their Impact on the Life Quality (SPCILQ) and point averages of maternity role (r=0.209, p=0.000). No statistical significance was detected between point average of SPCILQ and point averages of the acceptance of the pregnancy (p>0.05). \u0000Conclusions: As the impact of the pregnancy-based complaints on the life quality increases, a decrease is seen in the adaptation to the maternity role.","PeriodicalId":40972,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Basic and Clinical Health Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47142689","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 study aimed to explore the moderator role of pain duration in the hypothetical relation between pain catastrophizing and pain intensity in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMSP). \u0000Methods: Seven hundred and eight patients with CMSP (mean age: 28.52 ± 7.75 years) participated in this cross-sectional and descriptive study. The pain intensity and catastrophizing of the patients was assessed with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), respectively. The time elapsed since the participants' first experience of pain (number of days) was recorded as pain duration. \u0000Results: There was a positive correlation between pain duration (r=0.181, p0.001), pain intensity (r=0.432, p0.001) and total score of pain catastrophizing.
