However, less systematic studies have been done on this area. This study aimed to assess the patients’ and relatives’ perspectives, i.e. knowledge, attitude and compliance on ECT in Khartoum State, Sudan. This was an observational hospital-based study conducted among 103 psychiatric patients and their relatives respectively who visited the Taha Basher and Eltigani Elmahi psychiatric hospitals during 2016. Both the patients and their relative inquired about different criteria of knowledge and attitude towards ECT. The percentage of score was calculated based on their positive answers by selecting the most appropriate answer or by calculating the mean of many positive answers. All the data were collected through a pre-designed questionnaire, and further analyzed statistically. Male was represented 61 (59.2%) and the commonest age group of patients was 16-30 years. The overall score of knowledge towards ECT among patients and their relative was 54.9% and 59.4%, respectively. Acceptance on the use of ECT were agreed by 43.7% of patients and more than 70% of patients and their relatives believed giving ECT for emergency psychiatric cases. Psychiatrist was the most frequent source of information reported by both patients (73.8%) and relatives (67%). Male relatives showed significantly higher attitude of recommending ECT treatment (p=0.004) for other patients. Patients and their relatives were reported to have moderate and better knowledge and attitude towards the use of ECT, respectively.","PeriodicalId":53946,"journal":{"name":"Medicine and Health","volume":"32 1","pages":"242-252"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82169609","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}

Ia merupakan kajian keratan rentas \u0000menggunakan persampelan rawak berlapis. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan \u0000alat antropometrik dan monitor tekan darah digital. Data dianalisa menggunakan \u0000SPSS versi 20. Sejumlah 1314 responden mengambil bahagian. Sejumlah 36.9% \u0000dari jumlah sampel didapati mempunyai berat badan berlebihan dan obes, 31% \u0000mempunyai lemak yang lebih dan obes, 29% mempunyai ukur lilit pinggang yang \u0000abnormal dan 32.8% mempunyai ratio pinggang-tinggi yang abnormal. Sebanyak \u000022.1% responden didapati berada dalam peringkat pra tekanan darah tinggi dan \u0000tekanan darah tinggi. Terdapat perbezaan signifikan antara lelaki dan perempuan \u0000dalam berat badan berlebihan dan obes, lemak badan yang berlebihan dan obes \u0000dan ratio pinggang-tinggi. Pribumi Sarawak didapati mempunyai risiko yang paling \u0000tinggi dalam penyakit darah tinggi, dan paling ramai dalam berat badan dan lemak \u0000badan yang berlebihan dan obes, dan juga ukur lilit pinggang dan ratio pinggangtinggi yang abnormal. Bagi mereka yang mempunyai penyakit darah tinggi, mereka \u0000didapati mempunyai berat badan dan lemak badan yang berlebihan dan obes, \u0000dan juga ukur lilit pinggang dan ratio pinggang-tinggi yang abnormal. Pemeriksaan \u0000untuk faktor risiko yang berpotensi harus dijalankan di peringkat umur yang muda \u0000untuk mengurangkan masalah penyakit kronik di dewasa. Ukuran tekanan darah \u0000harus dilakukan dalam pemeriksaan fizikal rutin untuk mengenalpasti kanak-kanak \u0000yang berisiko tinggi untuk rujukan selanjutnya.","PeriodicalId":53946,"journal":{"name":"Medicine and Health","volume":"4 1","pages":"121-131"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90756442","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}

Genipin, bahan semula jadi yang diperolehi dari tumbuhan Gardenia, terbukti berkesan dalam memperkukuhkan ciri-ciri fizikokimia gelatin. Ulasan sistematik ini melaporkan pengetahuan terkini mengenai pengunaan genipin sebagai agen penyilangan gelatin. Dua pangkalan data elektronik telah digunakan, iaitu Scopus dan MEDLINE melalui Ebscohost. Carian dilakukan untuk penerbitan antara Januari 1999 hingga Disember 2018 menggunakan kata kunci ‘gelatin’ dan ‘genipin’. Makalah berbahasa Inggeris, yang melaporkan kegunaan genipin untuk pembuatan span gelatin telah dipilih. Terdapat 830 makalah dijumpai melalui carian kata kunci di mana 14 makalah telah dipilih dan dibincangkan dalam ulasan sistematik ini. Dapatan kajian termasuk kepekatan, suhu penyilangan, dan cara pembuatan yang optima untuk genipin. Kepekatan genipin yang optima adalah 0.5% dan suhu penyilangan yang optima adalah 25 ̊C. Keputusan kajian ini menunjukkan jurang pengetahuan dalam pengunaan genipin sebagai agen penyilangan gelatin dan lebih kajian diperlukan untuk mengisi jurang ini. Kajian ini menyediakan tinjauan meluas berkenaan pengetahuan terkini mengenai penggunaan genipin sebagai agen penyilangan gelatin.","PeriodicalId":53946,"journal":{"name":"Medicine and Health","volume":"96 1","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85389484","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}
