The early stage of this disease, T1T2N0M0, has a higher chance of recovery than the other phases. Radiation therapy and surgery are its therapeutic techniques. \u0000Objective: To Compare the outcome of surgery and radiotherapy in the treatment of early carcinoma of the larynx \u0000Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at tertiary hospital Dhaka from January 2022 to January 2023. Where A total of 200 Patients of carcinoma of the larynx are evaluated properly by detailed history taking, clinical examination and relevant investigation. During the study two groups of patients were dealt separately; Group-1: Surgery using LASER, n=100 and Group-2: radiotherapy, n=200. All the patients were followed up after 2 weeks, 1 month and then three monthly for one year. \u0000Results: During the study, supraglottis carcinoma was found in 65% of radiotherapy group and 70% in surgery group, glottic carcinoma was 35% & 30%, respectively in radiotherapy and surgery group. No case found with subglottic carcinoma. Where in surgery group 7% patients had haematoma, 5% patients had seroma & pharyngeal stenosis. In radiotherapy group 2.5% Severe radiation necrosis of skin & 3% had Respiratory distress following radiotherapy. . In the radiotherapy group, 25% cases were scored as normal and 45% as good. For the surgery group, 40% patients had good voice and speech, 35%r had moderate voice and speech, and 5% had poor voice and speech. This difference was statistically significant (p=.001). 14% of the irradiation group had a primary site recurrence compared with 20% in the surgery group at 12th months. There was a significant difference in the pattern of recurrence in the neck between the two treatment groups. Only 5% of those who were treated with irradiation had a recurrence in the neck. 14% of patients in the surgery group had a recurrence in the neck; this difference was statistically significant. \u0000Conclusions: When treating early laryngeal cancer, radiation therapy and surgery are equally successful. However, patients who had radiation therapy had much improved speech and voice quality compared to those who received surgery.","PeriodicalId":505327,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Medicine and Health","volume":"120 37","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140380189","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}

Those with strictly below knee (popliteal vein) DVT were excluded from the study, as they were treated mainly by non-surgical means. A pre-designed semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain variables which included patients’ demography, veins involved, type of DVT, surgical approach, type of anesthesia and outcome. Results are presented as frequencies, tables, and figures. The statistical level of significance was set as p value of ≤ 0.05.\u0000Results: The study involved 19 patients who had surgical thrombectomy during the period under review. There were 12 (63.16%) males and 7 (36.84%) female patients. The age range was 22 to 78years. Of these, 8 (42.10%) patients had femoral or ilio-femoral DVT alone, while 11 (57.90%) patients had calf vein DVT in addition to femoral or ilio-femoral DVT. 16 patients had acute DVT and 3 patients presented with acute-on-chronic DVT.

This adverse outcomes includes low birth weight, preterm delivery, severe anemia, maternal morbidity and mortality especially among primigravids. Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) has emerged as a significant influence in our society, particularly in the realm of maternal care and childbirth. Several economic, religious and socio-cultural factors have contributed to the preference of some pregnant women for the services of TBAs over medical facilities. Therefore, the study was carried out to assess the knowledge, practices and attitudes of traditional birth attendants within Ondo West Local Government area towards IPT for pregnant women reporting to them for care and delivery. The design employed in the study was descriptive cross-sectional survey. Data were collected by means of an adapted semi-structured interviewer administered-questionnaire. The analysis of the data was done using SPSS version 26.0. Demographic parameters were summarized with simple percentages and non-parametric chi-square test was used to determine the different associations of the variables. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The findings indicated that most of the TBAs have good knowledge of the malaria vector and factors promoting the transmission of malaria. Majority (mean=82.9%) also demonstrated excellent understanding of the symptoms associated with malaria in pregnancy however, their knowledge on the risk associated with malaria in a pregnant woman remains comparably low (mean=61.1%) thereby affecting significantly their attitudes and practice to intermittent preventive treatment for malaria prevention. This is because 50% of the TBA have not heard about IPT (P=0.01) and therefore do not administer treatment to asymptomatic pregnant women as recommended by WHO (P=0.00) and report of this study shows that majority (57.40%) of them attend to more than 31 pregnant women in a year. There is need for a government-sponsored partnership between formal health workers and TBAs in this study to ensure they are trained, retrained and equipped. The integration of the TBAs into maternal health care will ensure the sustenance of government policy on the free treatment of all pregnant women intermittently for malaria as recommended by WHO.","PeriodicalId":505327,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Medicine and Health","volume":"55 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140236982","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}

A descriptive research design was adopted with a population which consisted of 64,691 undergraduates in public universities, Rivers State, Nigeria. A sample size of 1,194 was selected using a multi-stage sampling procedure. The data collection instrument was a structured questionnaire with a reliability coefficient of 0.82. Data analysis was carried out using regression statistics at 0.05 alpha level. The result indicated that a significant positive relationship was found between parent financial status (monthly income) and mental health status (r = 0.13, R2 = 0.019, p<0.05), physical (r = 0.82, R2 = 0.750, p<0.05) and social health status (r = 0.86, R2 = 0.75, p<0.05).

They are caused by parasites known as helminths. The infection is capable of causing blood loss which often leads to anaemia. However the severity of anaemia is dependent on the intensity of the infection. With an estimated 3.5 billion infected individuals globally, helminth infections are among the most prevalent infections. In tropical and subtropical regions, these infections primarily affect the most impoverished and disadvantaged communities that have limited access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene. The highest prevalence of these infections has been reported from sub-Saharan Africa, China, and South America. The major helminths that causes anaemia includes Hook worm (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma. duodenale), Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiuria (whip worm). Hookworms and whipworms are examples of helminths that cause iron-deficiency anaemia through blood consumption and by causing damage to the intestinal mucosa during feeding. It is estimated that adult hookworms consume 0.05 to 0.2 milliliters of blood per day per worm, with an average daily blood loss of 26.4 milliliters in adult subjects infected with A. Duodenale. There are many risk factors which can lead to acquiring these infections and they include eating raw or undercooked meat and fish, poor hygiene, inadequate availability of clean water, poor sanitation. Some of the symptoms includes blood loss, abdominal pain, vomitting. Helminth infection can be diagnosed through direct wet mount, concentration technique and stool sample is used for this diagnosis. Helminth infections can be treated using antihelminthic drugs. Helminths can be prevented through safe sanitary facilites, maintainance of personal hygiene mass deworming in the affected areas and health education. In conclusion a well developed medical health care system should be put in place to control the devastating effects helminths infections.","PeriodicalId":505327,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Medicine and Health","volume":"47 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140266584","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 process of wound healing can be categorized into three interrelated stages: the stage of inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Any interruptions during this process can lead to wound healing that deviates from the typical progression. It is crucial to highlight that growth factors have a profoundly influential effect in this particular situation. This study conducts a thorough and analytical literature review to investigate the essential role of growth factors (TGF-β, PDGF, KGF, FGF, Pro Collagen, and VEGF) in wound healing. This study examines the biochemical and molecular mechanisms via which these growth factors impact the wound healing process, including the inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling phases, by analyzing current and authoritative scientific literature. This paper precisely outlines the role of these variables, including the role of the stem cell secretome enriched with growth factors such as TGF-β, PDGF, KGF, FGF, Pro Collagen, VEGF, and exogenous factors, as previously discussed. It explores their impact on tissue regeneration, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix formation, essential components of the wound healing process. The main objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive summary of the latest research findings, which includes an in-depth analysis of the contributions of stem cell secretomes to wound healing. The findings provide useful insights into potential growth factor-based treatment approaches, highlighting how the components of the stem cell secretome can be leveraged to enhance the wound healing process.","PeriodicalId":505327,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Medicine and Health","volume":"116 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140090720","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}
