Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess the gender variations in weight control behaviors amongst undergraduates in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, South-South, Nigeria. Materials and methods: The study involved 600 apparently healthy students (including 249 males and 351 females) who responded to an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Results: The results showed that the weight control strategies applied by undergraduates are typically aimed at either maintaining or reducing their present body weight. More of the males are satisfied with their weight and would engage in regular exercise to maintain it. Females had a high tendency to be dissatisfied with their body weight and shape and would associate their overweight with overfeeding. Although exercise was the most common weight control measure adopted by both male and female respondents, only 20.5% of them engaged in regular exercise. 51.4% of subjects did not consider applying any weight control measure necessary. Dietary restriction was more commonly adopted by females. The most commonly skipped meal by both male and female undergraduates was lunch. However, more females skipped dinner in other to lose weight. Conclusion: The present study suggests that body weight perception is a very important determinant of weight control behavior. Social acceptance is a common phenomenon amongst female undergraduates who are also more concerned about their body weight and shape.","PeriodicalId":50132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47819275","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}

In a cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study, the file of 200 patients with COVID-19 admitted to Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd in 2020-2021was evaluated and the results of laboratory tests (CRP, WBC and ESR) were recorded. Considering RT-PCR and lung CT scan as the gold standard, the sensitivity and specificity of each test were determined. Data were analyzed using SPSS software. The frequency of positive findings of CT scan, RT-PCR and gold standard in the studied patients were 83.5%, 50% and 91%, respectively. The mean WBC of patients was 109 2.17 and the ESR was 43.79 mm / h. CRP test was also positive in 71.3% of patients. The sensitivity and specificity of WBC, ESR and CRP in the detection of COVID-19 were 31.5%, 62.4% and 73.1%, respectively, and their specificity was 63.6%, 22.2% and 42.1%, respectively. The frequency of CRP, WBC and ESR findings was not significantly different from the gold standard findings in the studied patients (P> 0.05).

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a basic but critical first aid skill to rescue patients with sudden cardiac arrest. This study aimed to ascertain whether the mind mapping technique, a note-taking and graphic thinking tool, could improve the learning of CPR among medical interns. [Methods] A total of 79 medical interns rotating in the emergency department in our center were selected as research participants. They were randomly divided into the control group (n=40) and the experimental group (n=39). The control group was trained with traditional PowerPoint (PPT) slide courseware combined with practical operations, while the experimental group was trained with mind mapping technique on the basis of traditional PPT courseware combined with practical operations. The theoretical test, operational assessment, and the survey regarding the satisfaction with the training were conducted between the two groups of interns after training. [Results] Although the interns in both groups mastered the CPR technique successfully with theoretical and operational assessment scores >90 (out of 100), the experimental group performed significantly better in both theoretical tests (score: 96.13±2.47 vs 93.71±4.48, p=0.0041) and operational assessment (score: 94.82±3.22 vs 91.32±3.46, p<0.0001). Moreover, all interns (100%) in the experimental group were satisfied with the CPR training experience, while only 75% of the interns in the control group were satisfied with the training. [Conclusions] Mind maps as a supplementary teaching tool could facilitate CPR learning for medical interns and improve their learning interest.","PeriodicalId":50132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Research","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89571755","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}

Its clinical characteristics vary among different patients. Herein we report a case of OVSS with difficulty in defecation as the initial symptom and diagnosed with ultrasound and laparoscopic exploration. This 13-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital with the complaint of difficulty in defecation for more than 1 month and difficulty in urination for 6 days. Her ultrasound test showed that the left kidney was not displayed, and the right kidney was compensatory enlargement. A giant cystic-solid mass (110 mm × 96 mm × 87 mm) was seen in the pelvic cavity. Under laparoscopy, a huge mass was seen in the abdominal cavity. The surface resembled the seromuscular layer of the uterus. A uterine organ was seen on both sides of the tumor, and both fallopian tubes and ovaries were connected. The size of the right uterus was about 3 cm × 2 cm. The right fallopian tube and ovary were normal in appearance. The left uterus was enlarged (about 6 cm x 5 cm). The left fallopian tube was enlarged and contained a large amount of brown blood stains, and blood stains were seen flowing out from the umbrella end. The hysteroscopic incision and repair surgery were then performed. Most patients with OVSS presented with dysmenorrhea, abdominal pain, pelvic mass, and foul mucopurulent discharge, while in this case, difficulty in defecation was the initial symptom. Thus, this case report provided evidence supporting the heterogeneity of this disorder.","PeriodicalId":50132,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90724931","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}
