Nath","doi":"10.5580/1274","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5580/1274","url":null,"abstract":"Background and AimsCoronary heart disease can be greatly reduced by lifestyle changes. The death rate from diabetes for Cuban Americans is more than twice that for non-Hispanic Whites; yet, recent studies of risk factors and health outcomes for Cuban Americans are lacking. The purpose of this study was to assess dietary, biometric and clinical predictors of coronary heart disease (CHD) in Cuban Americans by diabetes status and gender. Secondary objectives were to assess predictors of the incidence of stroke, angina and coronary or peripheral artery disease (CAD/PAD). Methods and ResultsCuban American adults: N = 367; 190 with type 2 diabetes (72 males, 118 females) and 177 (59 males, 118 females) without diabetes were recruited from a randomly generated mailing list from Broward and Miami-Dade counties, Florida, USA. Significant differences in predictors of CHD risk were found by gender and diabetes status. As expected, we found a positive association between diabetes and stroke; however, female participants were less likely to report having stable angina than male participants. The probable CAD/PAD was predicted by SBP and age; whereas, probable unstable angina was associated with family history of coronary heart disease, being male and smoking.ConclusionsWe found gender and diabetes status delineated risk factor patterns among a Cuban American sample. These findings suggest the need to revise health policies to promote early screening and aggressive treatment of CHD risk factors for both men and women. Prospective studies of CHD risk factors and mortality for Cuban Americans are warranted.","PeriodicalId":89628,"journal":{"name":"The Internet journal of mental health","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90700887","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}

Thus, this study investigated the self medication profile of the rural people of Cross River and Akwa Ibom States of Southeastern Nigeria. Five hundred and fifty two out of seven hundred and thirty six persons which were randomly selected served with structured questionnaires, were interviewed. The study revealed that 99.4% relied on self medication, while 0.6% consulted physicians. A wide range of substances such as herbs, antibiotics, ash, kerosene, petrol, etc, are used as remedies, and no specific drugs are used for specific ailments, depicting a confusing state of folk medicine in rural Africa. Herbs (10.8%) and antibiotics (9.1%) can be used for the treatment of any of the identified sixteen ailments in the communities. The intervention of government to reduce poverty and provide adequate healthcare and education is recommended.","PeriodicalId":89628,"journal":{"name":"The Internet journal of mental health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73334512","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}

There were 750 patients diagnosed as having chronic otitis media (COM) squamous and mucosal type. Otoscopy was performed in all patients in such ears and the status of contralateral ear was noted. Statistical analysis was performed by simple manual analysis using frequency and percentage. Results: Out of 750 patients, 64.4% were male and 35.6% were female. Regarding types of COM, 36.0% were squamous type. In 68.4% of the patient, the contralateral ear was found to have some form of abnormalities. In mucosal type of COM, 62.9% patients had abnormal contralateral ear while in squamous type, 71.4% patients had abnormal contralateral ear. The most common findings on contralateral ear in both group of patients was retraction of the tympanic membrane.Conclusion: Patients with COM in one ear are more likely to develop some degree of disease in the contralateral ear. The squamous type of chronic otitis media had a greater chance of contralateral ear involvement.","PeriodicalId":89628,"journal":{"name":"The Internet journal of mental health","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84510867","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}

These result in varying degrees of morbidity and even death. There are many causes of subcutaneous emphysema. Most cases of subcutaneous emphysema encountered in clinical practice are iatrogenic. These are usually secondary to procedures. Traumatic causes as a result of blunt or penetrating injuries is a known aetiology. An unusual case of massive subcutaneous emphysema involving the neck, chest, and abdominal wall following traumatic rib fracture, with associated pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and prevertebral soft tissue air, is presented. Chest x-ray examination alone may not be sufficient in investigating these patients, as other associated conditions may not be shown with this imaging modality. The importance of computed tomography (CT) in evaluating this condition is highlighted. The prompt CT examination established the extent of the soft tissue air and the other associated abnormalities; and this contributed remarkably to the favourable outcome in this case presented.","PeriodicalId":89628,"journal":{"name":"The Internet journal of mental health","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83257133","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 purposive sampling of 530 patients from 15 years and above patronizing 11 pharmacy shops in the Cape Coast Metropolis was undertaken by administering questionnaires and interviews. 59.9% of the interviewees were aware of the harmful potential of antibiotics abuse yet a significant number (71.5%) purchase antibiotics without prescriptions with 69.9% personally requesting specific drugs without seeking advice from the pharmacists (P<0.01). A significant amount of the antibiotics purchased was Amoxicillin (71.5%) whilst Cold/Running Nose (50.8%) and Cough/Chest pains (33.1%) were the highest reasons for antibiotic purchases respectively. About 25.4% of patients purchased the drug without any sign or symptom of illness whilst 18.5% of the patients confirmed the drug did not work when used for the illness for which they were purchasing the last time. However, 70.8% of the patients have at least secondary education.

Barium swallow examination under fluoroscopic guidance confirmed foreign body impaction, and he subsequently had endoscopic retrieval under general anesthesia. We emphasize the importance of radiological imaging in establishing an early diagnosis and effecting prompt treatment to prevent complications. This case is presented because of the rarity of beef meat bolus causing oesophageal impaction in infancy, and to highlight the role of imaging in the management of this condition.
