Abstract Cervical cancer is one of the problem for women around the world. The incidence of cervical cancer in dr. Zainoel Abidin Regional General Hospital in 2015 was 54 cases, in 2016 there were 272 cases and in 2017 there were 80 cases. The purpose of this study is to analyze the causes of cervical cancer in General Hospital General Hospital of dr. Zainoel Abidin Aceh Province. This type of research is analytic survey using case-control design, the number of samples is taken based on the calculation of Lemeshow formula by calculating the minimum number of samples from the results of other people’s research, so that there are 21 cases, then the researchers make sample comparisons (1:2) 21 cases and 42 controls and sampling methods with accidental sampling. Collecting data on 7 June - 4 July 2018. The research instrument used a questionnaire. Data analysis in the form of univariate, bivariate and multivariate. The results bivariate analysis between age (p = 0.705, OR = 1.900), education (p = 0.655, OR = 1.467), occupation (p = 1.000, OR = 0.881), parity (p = 0.003, OR = 6.667), sexual behavior (p = 0.001, OR = 17.333), personal hygiene (p = 0.004, OR = 5.958), genetic (p = 0.005, OR = 10.000), oral contraceptives (p = 0.038, OR = 3.864). The results of dominant variables of multivariate analysis is sexual relations behavior with OR = 15.536. In conclusion there is a parity, sexual behavior, personal hygiene, genetics and oral contraception with cervical cancer incidence, while age, education and occupation are not related factors. Variable sexual relations behavior is the dominant factor in the incidence of cervical cancer. Abstrak Kanker serviks menjadi salah satu masalah kesehatan bagi perempuan di seluruh dunia. Angka kejadian kanker serviks di Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah (RSUD) dr. Zainoel Abidin tahun 2015 sebanyak 54 kasus, tahun 2016 sebanyak 272 kasus dan tahun 2017 sebanyak 80 kasus. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui penyebab kejadian kanker serviks di RSUD dr. Zainoel Abidin, Provinsi Aceh. Metode penelitian ini bersifat analitik dengan desain kasus-kontrol, jumlah sampel diambil berdasarkan perhitungan rumus Lemeshow dengan melakukan perhitungan jumlah sampel minimal dari hasil penelitian orang lain, sehingga didapatlah jumlah sampel kasus sebanyak 21 orang, selanjutnya peneliti membuat perbandingan sampel (1:2) yaitu 21 kasus dan 42 kontrol dan cara pengambilan sampel dengan accidental sampling. Pengumpulan data tanggal 7 Juni–4 Juli 2018. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan kuesioner. Analisis data berupa univariat, bivariat, dan multivariat. Hasil penelitian analisis bivariat menunjukkan bahwa umur (p=0,705, OR=1,900), pendidikan (p=0,655, OR=1,467), pekerjaan (p=1,000, OR=0,881), paritas (p=0,003, OR=6,667), perilaku hubungan seksual (p=0,001, OR=17,333), personal hygiene (p=0,004, OR=5,958), genetik (p=0,005, OR=10,000), kontrasepsi oral (p=0,038, OR=3,864). Hasil analisis multivariat variabel yang dominan adalah perilaku hubungan seksual dengan OR=15,536. Kesimpulan menunjukkan ada hubungan paritas, perilaku hubungan seksual, personal hygiene, genetik dan kontrasepsi oral dengan kejadian kanker serviks, sedangkan umur, pendidikan, dan pekerjaan bukan faktor yang berhubungan. Variabel perilaku hubungan seksual merupakan faktor dominan kejadian kanker serviks.

SummaryThe association between parental attempted suicide and child abuse was investigated in 114 mothers with children aged five years and under, referred to a general hospital following suicide attempts. The risk was greatly increased in the attempted suicide mothers, compared with both similar mothers at risk for depression and general population control mothers; well-documented risk of child abuse was identified in 29.8% of those who attempted suicide. No major differences were found between the attempted suicide mothers whose children were at risk and those whose children were not at risk. During the general hospital assessment of mothers with young children who attempt suicide, careful enquiry concerning the relationship with the children is essential

Cancelled operations represent a significant burden on the National Health Service in terms of theatre efficiency, financial implications and lost training opportunities. Moreover, they carry considerable physical and psychological effects to patients and their relatives. Evidence has shown that up to 93% of cancelled operations are due to patient-related factors. An analysis at our District General Hospital revealed that approximately 18 operations are cancelled on the day of surgery each month. This equates to 27 hours of allocated operating time valued by the trust as £67 500, not being used effectively. This retrospective quality improvement report aims to reduce unused theatre time due to cancelled elective operations in general surgery theatres—thereby improving theatre efficiency and patient care. To ascertain the baseline number of cancelled operations, an initial review of theatre cases was undertaken. Further review was then completed after implementation of two improvements—a short notice surgical waiting list and fast track pre-assessment clinics. The results showed that implementation of the reserve surgical waiting list reduced unused operating time by an average of 2.25 hours per month. By further adding in the fast track preassessment clinic, these figures increased to an average of 11.5 hours over the next 3 months. This precipitated a reutilisation of otherwise wasted theatre time. Economic impact of this time amounts around £28 750 a month, after implementation of both improvements. Simple protocol changes can lead to large improvements in the efficient running of theatres. The resultant change has improved patient satisfaction, led to greater training opportunities and improved theatre efficiency. Extrapolation of our results show better usage of previously underused theatre time, to the equivalent worth of £345 000. Further implementation of these improvements in other surgical specialities and hospitals would be beneficial.

SummaryPurpose.This study assessed psychiatric medications and their potential lethality in a representative sample of suicide attempts.Materials and methods.During 1996–98, 563 suicide attempts were studied in a general hospital in Madrid (Spain). Medication overdose was used in 456 suicide attempts (81%). The ratio between dose taken and maximum prescription dose recommended was used to evaluate the medication toxicity.Results.Benzodiazepines were the drugs most often used in self-poisoning (65% of overdoses), followed by new antidepressants (11%), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) (10%), and antipsychotics (8%). An overdose with any of the three latter psychiatric medications was significantly more frequent in patients prescribed those medications. The overdoses for TCA were potentially lethal in 47% of the cases. However, all patients who overdosed on psychiatric medications recovered well and were discharged without any sequelae.Discussion.This study suggests that psychiatric medications, particularly benzodiazepines, new antidepressants and antipsychotics, are relatively safe when they are used for self-poisoning. If patients with mental illnesses are under treated, there is a clear and documented higher risk for suicide.Conclusion.It is better to prescribe psychiatric medications, particularly the new ones, rather than withhold them due to an exaggerated fear of a lethal overdose

SummaryPsychiatric assessments on medical wards of a general hospital are complicated by various factors, including the lack of privacy, medical illness-related factors such as cognitive deficits and communication barriers, and the vagueness of the referral question asked. In this article, we try to guide general psychiatrists who do not routinely carry out such assessments through practical steps from receiving the referral to signing off the case. The key differences in the process and content of psychiatric assessments are discussed, as are diagnostic dilemmas. Subtle aspects of communicating the outcome of the assessments to patients and referrers are emphasised with specific guidance on writing consultation notes. We conclude with a discussion of the principles of biopsychosocial management and judging the outcomes of consultations on medical wards.
