Abstract Background Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and the second leading cause of cancer death globally. Since early diagnosis is crucial to reducing mortality, high levels of knowledge regarding general information, risk factors, and symptoms are required among healthcare professionals to deliver breast cancer care. This study aimed to determine Syrian medical students’ knowledge about breast cancer in the fields of general knowledge, common clinical features, and risk factors. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Syrian Private University in October 2019 (Breast Cancer Awareness Month), Damascus, during the Syrian war crisis. Data were collected through self-administered surveys and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25.0 (SPSS Inc., United States). The chi-square test was applied to assess the relationship between the level of knowledge and gender. One way analysis of variance was performed to assess the overall differences in mean knowledge score by study year, GPA, mother’s education, and source of information. Unpaired Student’s T-test was used to analyze the differences in mean knowledge scores (continuous variable) based on smoking status and alcohol consumption. Results Of 320 students, 301 completed the questionnaire (response rate = 94.0%), of which 179(59.5%) were males. The study revealed above-average knowledge scores (total mean = 68.4%) regarding breast cancer, general information (71.9%), common clinical features (71.6%), and risk factors (71.6%). Clinical students (4th, 5th, and 6th years) scored higher compared with pre-clinical students (1st, 2nd, and 3rd years). Conclusion This study showed above-average knowledge scores regarding breast cancer. More efforts to correct misinformation, through reassessing the university curriculum and promoting awareness about breast cancer are required.

Study Population

Background: In many developing countries, up to 60–80% of health problems are self-medicated. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of self-medication with antibiotics and/or antimalarials and identify factors promoting such use among university students in Sudan. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed, using a pretested questionnaire on a sample of 1300 students selected from 5 universities in Khartoum State, Sudan. Results: Eight hundred ninety-one (79.5%; 95% CI 77.0 to 81.8) students from the study population had used antibiotics or antimalarials without a prescription within 1–2 months prior to the study. Four hundred ninety (55%; 95% CI 51.7 to 58.3) of the respondents stated that they had used antibiotics, 39 (4.4%; 95% CI 3.2 to 6.0) had used antimalarials, and 362 (40.6%; 95% CI 37.4 to 43.9) had used both. Overall, self-medication with antibiotics or antimalarials was significantly more common among students 21 years of age or older compared with those 20 years of age or younger (OR 1.55; 95% CI 1.15 to 2.09; p = 0.004) and among students attending private universities compared with those attending public universities (OR 1.42; 95% CI 1.04 to 1.95; p = 0.028). Self-medication with antibiotics followed a simitar pattern, which was significantly more common among students 21 years of age or older (OR 1.36; 95% CI 1.03 to 1.81; p = 0.03) and private university respondents (OR 1.52; 95% CI 1.15 to 2.02; p = 0.003). Self-medication with antimalarials was found to be significantly less common among females (OR 0.76; 95% CI 0.59 to 0.97; p = 0.028) and higher among the 21 years or older age group (OR 1.84; 95% CI 1.42 to 2.40; p < 0.001), The most common reason indicated for self-medication was the respondents’ previous experiences with similar ailments. The main source of drugs was community pharmacies. Conclusions: The prevalence of self-medication with antibiotics/antimalarials among undergraduate university students in Khartoum State is high. Our findings highlight the need for planning interventions to promote the judicious use of antibiotics/antimicrobials.

ABSTRACTObjective: to identify nursing problems of children with hydrocephalus and myelomeningocele in the use of ventricular shunts. Method: cross-sectional study, quantitative, developed in an internment unit for pediatric neurosurgery in a public hospital. The sample consisted of 60 patients admitted from June to December 2006. The study was submitted to the ethics committee of research on Protocol No. 82/2006. Results: the findings showed that the main problems and nursing diagnoses are related to decreased intracranial adaptive capacity related to increased ICP, risk of impaired skin integrity related to immobility and / or frequent exposure to fecal / urinary secretion and urinary incontinence  related neurogenic bladder. Conclusion: ventricular shunts are important methods to improve survival of children with hydrocephalus. But the care provided and the handling of the devices must be well oriented to families by the multiprofessional team, aiming to reduce the long periods of re-internments. Descriptors: nursing; child health; hydrocephalus; myelomeningocele; drainage.RESUMOObjetivo: identificar problemas de enfermagem de crianças com hidrocefalia e mielomeningocele em uso de derivações ventriculares. Método: estudo transversal, quantitativo, desenvolvido em uma unidade de internação em neurocirurgia pediátrica de um hospital público. A amostra constituiu-se de 60 pacientes internados de junho a dezembro de 2006. O estudo foi submetido ao comitê de ética em pesquisa com protocolo n°82/2006. Resultados: os achados evidenciaram que os principais diagnósticos e problemas de enfermagem relacionam-se à capacidade adaptativa intracraniana diminuída relacionada ao aumento da PIC; risco para integridade da pele prejudicada relacionado à imobilidade e/ou exposição frequente à secreção fecal/urinária e incontinência urinária relacionada à bexiga neurogênica. Conclusão: as derivações ventriculares são métodos importantes para aumentar a sobrevida das crianças com hidrocefalia. Porém os cuidados dispensados quanto ao manuseio dos dispositivos devem ser bem orientados pela equipe multiprofissional às famílias, objetivando reduzir os longos períodos de re-internações. Descritores: enfermagem; saúde da criança; hidrocefalia; mielomeningocele; drenagem.RESUMENObjetivo: identificar problemas de enfermería en niños con hidrocefalía y  mielomeningocele que usan derivaciones ventriculares.

Objective: To establish the association between malocclusion severity and orthodontic case complexity as assessed by the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) and the American Board of Orthodontics Discrepancy Index (ABO-DI), respectively. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Pre-treatment dental casts and radiographs from 500 individuals (294 women and 206 men; mean age = 26.06 ± 11.58 years) were randomly selected from the orthodontics department of a private university. Methods: Malocclusion severity was assessed using DAI and case complexity was evaluated with ABO-DI. Three previously calibrated operators performed the measurements. Spearman’s correlation analysis, Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis test and a linear generalised model were used for statistical evaluation ( P < 0.05 was considered significant). Results: Although the correlation (r = 0.45; P < 0.0001) between malocclusion severity and case complexity was moderate, strong evidence of an association ( P < 0.001) between dichotomised DAI and ABO-DI total scores was observed. The linear generalised model showed that for each point of increase in DAI score, the ABO-DI score increased an average of 0.3624 points ( P < 0.0001). Conclusion: An association between malocclusion severity and case complexity is suggested. A linear generalised model could be used to predict the complexity of the case from the malocclusion severity (DAI score).
