Physicians use standard scales, such as NRS-2002 and NUTRIC, for TPN orders. The usage of NRS-2002 in public hospitals has been mandatory in Turkey since 2015. The quality management department of Izmir Tire Public Hospital recognized that TPN consumption increased dramatically since 2015. The orders, which increased in direct proportion to the number of patients, showed that it should be investigated by evaluating their necessity according to nutritional practice standards. The objective of this study is to research the effect of e-orders incorporated with a clinical decision support system on TPN consumption. We digitalized the NRS-2002 form and added a clinical decision support system to calculate the score and calorie requirements. We found that the total number of NRS-2002 forms completed by physicians increased by 95%, the number of TPN orders decreased by 41%, and the cost decreased by 38% in 2018.

It was a combination of prospective and retrospective study with interviewer administered questionnaire to assess socio-demographic data, reasons why some women were not using hormonal contraceptives, side effects and benefits of hormonal contraceptives. From the 410 respondents, the study showed that 232 respondents (56.6%, X2=7.686) of respondents used hormonal contraceptive which was significant (p<0.05). 178respondents (43.4%) respondents did not use hormonal contraception. 76.0% of the hormonal contraceptives users had side effects while 24.0% did not. Irregular menses (44.4%) was the commonest side effect.130 respondents (73.0%) gave reasons such as religious belief, ignorance, fear of side effects etc as preventing factors to the use of contraceptives. The study showed that 69.8% of users were not discouraged by side effects and 81.1% agreed to recommend it to their friends and family relatives because of its numerous benefits. While it was true from the study that hormonal contraceptives was associated with some side effects of which some disappeared without intervention within 3-5 months of use (35.1%), and others were taken care of through medical interventions, some myths(religious belief, ignorance, husband approval, etc) were also limitations against hormonal contraceptives use.","PeriodicalId":51699,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Research & Health Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136343897","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}

Radiograph show a primary malignant bone tumour proximal humerus dextra with soft tissue swelling. There was a lytic lesion, with wide zone transition on proximal humerus dextra, and a trabeculated bone outside the normal lesion was treated by segmental resection and shoulder reconstruction. A prosthesis was used to reconstruct the shoulder joint, the rotator cuff was reattached to the bone after making a semicircular trough. Discussion: There are several therapy options for the patient, the non-operative and operative therapy. The non-operative way such as radiation therapy, medication therapy, and tumor embolization. The operative way such as extensive, complete resection, and amputation.

Methodology: This is a prospective and analytical study of 98 infertile women with history of AUB, referred for HSG. Clinical history including the forms of AUB were obtained from the subjects. Subjects were evaluated with TAUS and HSG after obtaining both ethical clearance and informed consent. Statistical analysis was with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. Simple frequency, measures of central tendency and dispersion, crosstabulation as well as Pearson’s correlation tests were carried out. For correlation, p ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Result: Fibroids, followed by intrauterine adhesions (IUA) were the commonest structural uterine abnormalities. Fibroids were detected with both TAUS and HSG, while IUA were detected with HSG only. Shortened menstrual flow was the commonest form of AUB and occurred in 52 (53.1%) of the subjects, followed by light menstrual flow 41(41.8%). The menses were irregular in 33(33.7%), light and shortened in 32(32.7%), heavy in 21(21.4%), prolonged in 16(16.3%), and, heavy and prolonged in 9(9.2%). Fibroids occurred most frequently among those with heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding while IUA occurred most frequently among those with scanty and reduced menstrual bleeding. On TAUS, HSG, or combined TAUS and HSG, there were significant correlations between fibroids and prolonged heavy menses, fibroids and heavy menses, and, fibroid and prolonged menses. On HSG, significant correlation existed between IUA and scanty short menses. Conclusion: Uterine fibroids and intrauterine adhesions were the commonest structural uterine abnormalities detected. There was significant correlation between fibroids and history of heavy menstrual flow as well as between fibroids and prolonged menses, and IUA and scanty short menses.","PeriodicalId":51699,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Research & Health Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135344271","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}

Malignant cells have similar histologic appearance making it difficult to distinguish one from another, and poses a diagnostic challenge with needs for a multimodal approach. Immunohistochemistry and immunophenotyping by flow cytometry, reverse transcriptase polymer chain reaction (RT-PCR) and fluorescence in situ hybridization are needed to confirm. The appropriate and best treatment in early stages of MSRCT is early surgical excision with chemoradiotherapy based on patient specification. Inspite of all these, tumors have poor prognosis and chance of recurrence are high. Method: Case study of a 27-year-old male who presented with a non-productive cough for 4 weeks, with feverish feeling with weight loss and shortness of breath and a new onset precordial chest pain non radiating and worse on exertion. On examination his vitals were: BP 121/91 mm of hg, pulse rate 114bpm, temperature 36.3 degrees Celsius, respiratory rate 24/per min, SPO2 96%.On examination, Elevated Jugular Venous Pressure, hyperactive precordium, displaced apex beat to 6th intercostal space anterior axillary line, muffled heart sounds and bilateral lower limb edema. Respiratory exam was unremarkable. Sputum gene expert was negative for mycobacterium tuberculosis and covid 19 rapid test was negative. Chest X Ray showed cardiomegaly and a transthoracic echocardiography revealed moderate-large pericardial effusion, with mild collapse of right atrium in diastole. Pericardiocentesis done showed hemorrhagic effusion with lymphocytes cell component, patient was initiated on treatment for TB pericarditis empirically. Three months later a chest CT scan done revealed extensive mediastinal/pericardial mass with lung nodules. An ultrasound guided mediastinal/Pericardial biopsy was done, revealed a poorly differentiated small round cell carcinoma. Results: Patient expired 14 weeks from the initial onset of symptoms while awaiting immunohistochemistry studies for specific diagnosis of the tumor and oncology review. Discussion: This demonstrates the complexity of establishing differential diagnosis of MSRCT in a resource limited setting with subsequent delay in treatment initiation, heralds poor prognosis. This also confirms difficulties in establishing differential diagnosis in poorly differentiated tumor.","PeriodicalId":51699,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Research & Health Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135536779","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}

Septic emboli from the septic vegetation can spread to the brain, kidney, spleen, and lungs resulting in massive metastatic infections.It therefore has multisystemic manifestations and complications. Though neurological complications are common, brain abcess is known to be rare constituting only 1.0% of neurological complications.

Methods: This case report was carried out at University College Hospital Ibadan. Results: The boy presented with fever of 38oc for five weeks, convulsions and altered state of consciousness for ten days..In course of treatment patient however developed irritability and aggressive behaviour, which attracted the use of largactil to which he reacted with extrapyramidal signs and convulsions. Within the week he developed yellowness of the eyes and increase in abdominal girth.
