Abstract: After labioschizis, palatoschizis is the most frequently encountered congenital disorder with multifactorial causes, and is a disorder that can be found in every nation in the world. Among the factors, the genetic factor was agreed upon to be a major factor. This was a descriptive retrospective  study. This study aimed to find out palatoschizis cases in the Division of Plastic Surgery, Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Hospital, Manado, from January to December 2011. The results showed that there were 40 cases of both disordersd in the Division of Plastic Surgery Prof Dr. R.D. Kandou Manado Hospital from January 2011 through December 2011, showing 55% with palatoschizis and 45% with labiopalatoschizis. From the total cases, 53% were females in contrast to 47% males. Fifty-seven percent represented the most frequently treated age group of 1-4 years with 72.5% requiring palatoplasty. From the total number of palatoschizis cases, as many as 58% were caused by environmental factors. Fifty-two percent were unilateral palatoschizis, in comparison to 2.5% bilateral. Conclusion: In the Division of Plastic Surgery, Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Hospital, Manado, from January to December 2011 most of the palatoschizis and labiopalatoschizis cases were unilateral. Environmental factors were the mot common etiology for most of the women who suffered from this disease. Palatoplasty procedures were most widely used among the largest age group of 1-4 years. Keywords: palatoschizis, labiopalatoschizis.   Abstrak: Palatoskisis merupakan kelainan kongenital yang paling sering dijumpai setelah labioskisis dengan penyebab multifaktorial, dan dijumpai pada setiap bangsa di dunia. Diantara faktor-faktor penyebabnya, faktor genetika disepakati menjadi faktor utama. Palatoskisis lebih banyak ditemukan pada perempuan. Palatoskisis unilateral kiri lebih sering dari pada yang kanan. Penelitian ini bersifat retrospektif deskriptif untuk mengetahui tentang kejadian palatoskisis di Bagian Ilmu Bedah Plastik RSUP Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Manado periode Januari-Desember 2011. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan jumlah kasus di Bagian Bedah Plastik RSUP Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Manado periode Januari-Desember 2011 sebanyak 40 kasus dengan palatoskisis (55%) dan labiopalatoskisis (45%), lebih sering pada perempuan (53%) dibandingkan laki-laki (47%). Kelompok usia yang tersering ditangani 1-4 tahun (57%) dan jenis operasi yang digunakan yaitu palatoplasty (72,5%). Faktor penyebab yang tersering ialah faktor lingkungan (58%). Kasus palatoskisis unilateral sebanyak 52,5% sedangkan yang bilateral 2,5%. Simpulan: Di Bagian Ilmu Bedah Plastik RSUP Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Manado periode Januari-Desember 2011 sebagian besar kasus palatoskisis dan labiopalatoskisis ditemukan unilateral dengan lokasi defek terbanyak di bagian kiri. Jenis kelamin perempuan lebih sering ditemukan dan etiologi tersering yaitu faktor lingkungan. Kelompok usia yang tersering ditangani yaitu 1-4 tahun dan tindakan yang tersering digunakan ialah palatoplasty. Kata kunci: palatoskisis, labiopalatoskisis.

Occupational Cancer

Environmental pollution is one of the main causes of disease, death, and disability worldwide. International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates mortality caused by occupational cancer worldwide to be two times higher than occupational accidents. Approximately, 10 important risk factors account for 85% of all occupational cancers. Factors for occupational cancer includes Asbestos, chemicals such as aniline, chromates, dinitrotoluene, arsenic and its inorganic compounds, beryllium and its compounds, cadmium and nickel compounds, wood dust, crystalline silica, brown coal phosphors, furnace emissions, pollution caused by diesel equipment, Nano-Materials, biological agents, ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation, thermal shock, shift work, stress and work while sitting. Also some other environmental factors can cause cancer which concludes air, water and soil pollutions, smoking, sunlight, radon gas, electromagnetic fields, agriculture, behavior and lifestyle (such as alcohol and tobacco consumption, diet, sleep patterns, personal habits and social and cultural environment behaviors). More than 75% of mortality due to cancer can be avoided via controlling occupational and environmental risk factors. Most of cancers are not hereditary and caused by occupational and environmental biological agents, and are potentially preventable. So, it is recommended that more researches should be performed in this field in order to detect more scientific and effective methods to detect number and type of cancers due to occupational and environmental factors.

The World

India along with the world is facing one of the worst pandemic in recent times with COVID-19. Emergence of SARS-CoV-2 in dengue virus (DENV)–endemic areas has raised concern regarding coinfection with the two viruses Difficulty in distinguishing dengue and COVID-19, particularly during the acute stage, can engender inaccurate diagnoses. To study the trends in Dengue infections during the COVID 19 pandemic and previous 2 years.A retrospective study considering all the Dengue serology tests over the period of 3 years was considered. Dengue serology tests by Dengue Rapid card, COVID RT PCR, COVID 19 IgM & IgG.Spiking of cases in alternate year in Karnataka.2250, 5070,2284 samples processed fro Dengue in 2018,2019 & 2020. The positive percentage was 10.3% in the year 2019. Dengue NS1 & IgM positive cases were more as the cases seeked support of healthcare at the initial phase of fever. Environmental factors did not have a significant role to play in the state. Study on cellular & immunolgical mechanisms of COVID 19 virus will lead to improved diagnsotic modalities and correct interpretation of test results preventing fatal outcomes. Encouraging vaccination for COVID-19 will reduce fatal outcomes.

Somatic Disorder

In the final chapter, Winnicott reconsiders psycho-somatic disorder by using two examples: asthma and gastric ulcer. He suggests that asthma studies indicate the condition to be related to environmental factors and to the child’s management of fantasies of love and hate—and possibly to very early birth and breathing difficulties, although Winnicott states that asthma has still not been fully understood. With gastric ulcer, emotional stress and frequent overactivity, as a manic defence against depression, are factors which may bring about the physical condition. Again, unmanageable conflict over love and hate in fantasy may be relevant.

Continue Smoking

This retrospective study aims to evaluate epidemiologic characteristics of patients attending stop smoking courses, based on group therapy, testing their influence on smoking cessation in univariate and multivariate model. A total of 123 patients were included in this study. Mean age was 53 (). Sixty-seven percent were women. At the end of the courses 66% of patients stopped smoking, after 12 months only 39% remained abstinent. Patients younger than 50 years statistically tended to continue smoking 6 months ( 1.49, C.I. 95%: 1.06–2.44) and 12 months ( 1.37, C.I. 95%: 1.02–2.52) after the end of the courses. A low self-confidence in quitting smoking was significantly related to continuing tobacco consumption after 6 months ( 1.84, C.I. 95%: 1.14–2.99). Low adherence to therapeutic program was statistically associated to maintenance of tobacco use at 6 months ( 1.76, C.I. 95%: 1.32–2.35) and 12 months ( 1.45, C.I. 95%: 1.11–1.88). This association was confirmed at 6 months in the analysis performed on logistic regression model ().

Mucosal Lesions

Tobacco consumption including smoked or smokeless type is harmful for the oral mucosa as it promotes the development of oral cancer and oral mucosal lesions such as leukoplakia, smoker’s palate (nicotinic stomatitis), smoker’s melanosis and other types of lesions. A retrospective study was conducted in a dental hospital from July 2019 till March 2020. A total of 146 patients diagnosed with smoker’s palate, smoker’s melanosis or both were included in this study. The data variables including socio-demographic and patients diagnosed with smoker’s palate and smoker’s melanosis were recorded and analyzed using SPSS Statistical software Version 20. Smoker’s palate and smoker’s melanosis were prevalent in 50-59 years and predominant in males. In this present study, smoker’s palate (53.4%) was more prevalent followed by smoker’s melanosis (24%) and smoker’s palate and melanosis (22.6%). There was statistically insignificant association between the age and types of oral mucosal lesion (p>0.05). It can be concluded that smoker’s palate was more prevalent followed by smoker’s melanosis and both in which 50-59 years age and male group were more predominant.
