In India, cervical cancer is responsible for the highest cancer deaths among women which can be attributed to multiple pregnancies, open relationships, inadequate sanitation and cleanliness, behavioral habit and lifestyle, smoking, poor nutrition, and long-term contraceptive use. These factors have been associated as risk factors for cervical cancer. This review discusses issues faced by women in tribal and rural areas of India due to poor economic conditions, different lifestyles to mainstream population, sociocultural behavior and lack of access to healthcare facilities. The review also focusses on the tribal populations of the world and the prevalence rates in these tribal groups. The current initiatives taken by government and non-government organizations (NGOs) to prevent and control the HPV infection and reduce the cervical cancer burden have also been highlighted. The review emphasizes the urgent need for preferential care for women in rural and tribal communities of the world.","PeriodicalId":87293,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical and allied research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43931810","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}

{"title":"The Effects Of The Covid-19 Pandemic And Covid-19 Measures On University Students Related To Levels Of Anxiety And Depression","authors":"E. D. Barç","doi":"10.37191/mapsci-2582-4937-4(1)-023","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.37191/mapsci-2582-4937-4(1)-023","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Epidemics are infectious diseases. Pandemic is defined as epidemic diseases that spread to many continents and cause fatal cases on humans and animals. Although most infectious diseases can be transmitted to humans or animals in one or more ways, the priority in the fight against Covid-19 is to avoid contact and contamination routes, to protect the areas of the body that are open to contamination, and to effectively disinfect. The quarantine environment, which is taken as a precautionary measure to protect against Covid-19, affects human psychology and leads to the emergence of some situations. It is aimed to examine the relationship between the depression and anxiety levels seen in university students and the measures taken with the Covid-19 pandemic, taking into account the demographic variables.\u0000\u0000Materials and Methods: It was conducted as a descriptive study at a foundation university in Ankara between July-December 2020. “Sociodemographic Data Collection Form”, “Covid-19 Isolation Process Examining Questionnaire” and “Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale” were used to collect data. Due to the Covid-19 street restrictions and to reduce contact, data were collected by using \"Google Forms\" and sharing links to students via mail and WhatsApp groups. Data analysis was done using SPSS 25.0 package program, p<0.05 was considered significant.\u0000\u0000Results: In the results of the study, it was observed that the anxiety levels of the students were 15.45 ± 4.50, and the depression levels were 10.85 ± 3.06. The level of being affected by Covid-19 was found to be 68.43 ± 11.91. It was determined that there was a weak and negative significant relationship between the level of being affected by Covid-19 and anxiety levels (p=0.01). It was determined that there was a weak and negative significant relationship between the students' level of being affected by Covid-19 and their depression levels (p=0.01).\u0000\u0000Conclusion: It can be stated that students who are less affected by Covid-19 will have higher levels of anxiety and depression. Due to the uncertainty when the Covid-19 pandemic first emerged, it was thought that there was a weak negative significant relationship between Covid-19 and anxiety and depression levels. It is recommended that the study be conducted with more students in similar sample groups.","PeriodicalId":87293,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical and allied research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44182091","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}

Some of this will be enhanced by increasing the number of natural resources that can be used to make consumable food products and minimizing generally pro components to generate food that is safe to eat and rich in nutrients. Lactobacillus, a carboxylic acid bacterium, was isolated primarily from decaying vegetables, fruits, and room trash. Genus Lactobacillus belong cluster of carboxylic bacterium that is represented as a gaggle of heterogeneous, regular non-spore-forming, gram-positive rods that have numerous habitats like plants and duct tracts and throughout the surroundings. Lactobacilli strains, often known as probiotics, are beneficial bacteria that improve digestion, combat disease, and promote digestion in humans and animals. Some species like true bacteria Plantarum, true bacteria casei, and true bacteria bulgaricus are typically isolated from farm. A natural protection exists in a number of fruits. Organic acids in fruits are sufficient to generate a pH of four or lower on the pH scale. The most essential determinant in defining the dominant microflora in fruits is the pH scale, and consequently the type of acid. A pH scale cannot support the growth of food-borne bacteria that are harmful to human health. The carboxylic acid bacterium performs a critical role in protecting the host against hazardous pathogens while also strengthening the system. Carboxylic acid bacteria are great sources of probiotics with potential qualities that, when administered in sufficient levels, can benefit the host's health.","PeriodicalId":87293,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical and allied research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46879946","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}

As the disease intensifies with the passage of time, many people develop dementia, and other mental abilities in later stages [3]. Loss of dopaminergic neurons causes prominent and projecting symptoms like involuntary tremor, rigidity, postural instability, gait, speech problems and akinesia [4].

To solve the dilemma of consequentialist and non-consequentialist theories, the major focus was driven on community health. But while looking at the rate of infected, cured, and death, it’s an alarming sign to India to strengthen the medical resources and follow the common good approach. Every Indian citizen has the right to get proper treatment and funerals after death. Considering the problem associated with the spreading of the virus through dead bodies, cremation was done by medical staff. Due to the limited availability of medical staff and lack of an electric furnace, many dead bodies were cremated after a long time. Due to inadequate medical professionals and technical constraints, the infectivity rate is increasing which is affecting the economy, mental strength, and social values. Hence, now we have to start thinking and working on strengthening hospitals, diagnostic labs, and sophisticated cremation centers to avoid negligence and to follow ethics.","PeriodicalId":87293,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical and allied research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47637255","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}

Though not exhaustible, the study assesses how hospital waste and other environmental priorities will adversely help the restraining of the COVID-19 pandemic. In most West African communities where financial and technological challenges are evident, the management of these essential environmental issues requires a coordinated and prompt response from various authorities. Moreover, the provision of sufficient funding is central to every aspect of hospital waste management, therefore, this study suggests the need for thorough informative awareness programs as a panacea since the success of managing these key environmental issues is directly connected to the containment of this pandemic to a minimal level.","PeriodicalId":87293,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical and allied research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47274333","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 the second week after nerve section, in Ca2+-free solutions, we observed that contractures (evoked from 40 to 80 mM-K+) of non-denervated muscles showed significantly higher tensions (p<0.05), than those from denervated bundles. Likewise, in solutions where calcium was substituted by all divalent cations tested, with exception of Mn2+, the denervated bundles displayed lower tension than non-denervated, also in the second week of denervation. In this case, the Ca2+ substitution by Sr2+ caused the higher decrease in tension, followed by Co2+ and Ni2+, which were different to non-denervated bundles, as the lowest tension was developed by Mn2+, followed by Co2+, and then Ni2+ and Sr2+.
