Objectives: Cervical cancer can be prevented by identifying the lifestyle and diet. The purpose of this research was to compare lifestyle and nutritional risk in Iranian women with cervical cancer and healthy women who referred to hospitals affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran during 2015-2016. Materials and Methods: This descriptive-comparative study was conducted on 120 women referring to hospitals of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran during 2015-2016. The data collection tool was a questionnaire that covered data on health-promoting lifestyle profile (HPLP), diet, and demographic characteristics. Finally, data were analyzed by SPSS software, using an independent t test, as well as chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: Statistical differences were observed between the number of delivery, smoking, and the smoking of the spouse although the difference in HPLP between the 2 groups was insignificant. However, healthy women could better manage their stress and interpersonal relations compared to women who had cervical cancer. As regards diet, fat was statistically different between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusions: In general, a change in lifestyle, diet, reduced smoking can decrease the incidence of cervical cancer in women.

The American National Association for Occupational Health (ANAOH) places the incidence of work stress in nurses at the top of the forty-first on job stress. Work stress experienced by nurses is very detrimental to themselves and the hospital because it can make nurses suffer from fatigue, be rude, anxious, increase blood pressure, decrease self-confidence, increase feelings of dissatisfaction, and can reduce work productivity for nurses. This study was conducted to determine the difference in proportion factors associated with work stress on inpatient nurses during the Covid-19 pandemic at the Pondok Kopi Jakarta Islamic Hospital. Cross-sectional study design with primary data distributed through a questionnaire. The sample is 73 people the sampling is done by incidental sampling. Data analysis used chi-square test (α = 0.05). In this study in the proportion of stress, namely the age of 40 years as many as 28 people (70.0%), female sex as many as 44 (68.8%), married marital status as many as 34 (66.7%), and working years > 6 years as many as 31 (66.0%), heavy workload as much as 50 (70.4%), shift work in the morning shift as much as 37 (63.8%), poor interpersonal relations as much as 44 (86.3%) and who have a UMR salary of 40 (67.8%). The risk factors studied were not related to the incidence of stress in inpatient nurses during the Covid-19 pandemic at the Pondok Kopi Jakarta Islamic Hospital in 2021. It is expected to be input in taking action in anticipating work stress among nurses so that it can improve the performance of nurses in applying quality nursing care.

This study aimed to compare the use of hedges and boosters in medical sciences and engineering research articles. To fulfil this objective, the researcher provided 30 medical and 30 engineering research articles to identify the hedging and boosting devices used in them. The research articles were analysed according to lexical devices classification, focusing on hedges and boosters. The AntConc concordance software was used to identify the instances of hedges and boosters in both disciplines. Frequency, percentage and the Chi-square test were run to analyse the data. The results indicated that the difference between the frequency of hedges and boosters in medical sciences and engineering research articles was significant and meaningful. Moreover, the outcomes indicated that the most frequent hedges were epistemic modality verbs, quantifiers and nouns and the most frequent boosters were nouns, lexical verbs, modal verbs and adjectives. These discoveries of this paper may have some implications for the teaching of academic writing, especially to EFL learners.

OBJECTIVE To compare the possibility of Post-operative hemorrhage in septoplasty with and without nasal packing among the patients operated at PNS SHIFA hospital Karachi STUDY DESIGN: Comparative Study  SETTING: PNS SHIFA hospital Karachi DURATION OF STUDY: Six months, 21-04-2019 to 20-10-2019 PATIENTS AND METHODS: Ninety two patients who underwent septoplasty due to deviation of nasal septum at ENT department of PNS SHIFA were included in the analysis. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. Group one did not undergo nasal packing after the surgery and group two underwent nasal packing after the surgical procedure. Chi-square was used to see the difference in post-operative hemorrhage, headache, discomfort and septal perforation between the two groups. RESULTS Out of 92 patients included in the final analysis 61 were male and 31 were female. Pot operative bleeding was found in three patients in group one while thirteen patients in group two had bleeding after the procedure. With Pearson chi-square test, we found that post-operative bleeding, headache and discomfort was significantly more in the patients with nasal packing after the procedure of septoplasty due to deviated nasal septum. CONCLUSION Nasal packing emerged as a procedure linked with more complications rather than benefits among the patients undergoing septoplasty in our study. Not only post-operative hemorrhage but also headache and discomfort were more common among the patients with nasal packing as compared to those without nasal packing. Nasal packing after septoplasty should be discouraged without any obvious indication in the patients undergoing septoplasty.

This is a comparative study of ondansetron versus metoclopramide in the prevention of post-operativevomiting in routine major gynecological surgery under general anesthesia. The purpose of this study was toperform a comparative study of injection ondansetron 8 mg I.V. with injection metoclopramide 10 mg I.V.in preventing post-operative vomiting.This was a randomized, double blinded study conducted in sixtypatients of American Society of Anaesthesiologist (ASA) I and ASA II undergoing routine major gynecologicalsurgery (Transabdominal Hysterectomy, laprotomy and cystectomy, tubal surgery) under general anesthesia.Either of the drug was diluted to 5 ml of normal saline and given intravenously prior to induction ofanesthesia. The post-operative period of first 24 hours was divided into two phases, the early (0-6 hrs.) andlate (6-24 hrs.). The frequencies of vomiting and requirement of rescue antiemetics in both groups werestudied. The general characteristics of the patients in the two groups were similar. In both groups, induction,maintenance, duration of anesthesia as well as the type of surgery and opioids requirement were similar.The data recorded were statistically analyzed using Chi -square test and t - test. The frequency of vomitingwas less in ondansetron group compared to metoclopramide group. Rescue antiemetics was given only oncein ondansetron group patients, whereas the need of rescue antiemetics was eight times in the metoclopramidegroup. The difference was statistically significant (p=0.03). No unwanted effects were noticed in both groups.Ondansetron seems more effective in preventing Post-Operative Nausea & Vomiting (PONV) thanmetoclopramide but it has to be evaluated further by more clinical trials and tests in larger series.Key Words: Antiemetics, vomiting, general anesthesia, gynaecological surgery.

The Difference

The paper presents the underpinnings of systematic approach to identifying and gauging individual-level values. First, the authors analysed how the “value” is conceptualised in works by M.Rokeach, R.Inglehart, G.Hofstede and S.Schwartz and came to the conclusion that all those conceptualisations focus on one particular component belonging to the inner structure of values. Hence an alternative interpretation was put forward according to which the inner structure of value is comprised of need(s), value orientation(s) and object(s) that is (are) valuable to a person. The authors also referred to H.Blumer’s ideas about the nature of objects belonging to individual worlds in order to ensure an adequate understanding of values. The next step involved explaining differences between individual and supra-individual values. For this purpose, P.Blau’s ideas about emergent properties of social relations were used. The difference between individual values and interests was shown as well. In total, thirteen fundamental individual-level values have been identified: material comfort, wealth, beauty, power, physical health, psychological comfort, interpersonal relations, knowledge, personal freedom, status, morality and ethical life, leisure, self-realisation. This set of values has served as a basis for constructing a sociological test titled “Individual values and interests–13” (IVI–13). In order to make sure that the test works, the authors conducted a pilot survey. The subsequent statistical analysis, first, made it possible to obtain the distribution of respondents’ answers to questions (that served as test indicators) and reveal the particularities of this distribution (by means of descriptive statistics); second, it helped to determine the relationship between the respondents’ answers and their sociodemographic characteristics (through the chi-square test of independence); and, third, it allowed identifying the structure of relationships among values (using the  coefficient and network analysis).

Identification of a person is of paramount importance in a medico-legal investigation. At present more and more people use protecting lipsticks and permanent lipsticks. With these lipsticks a latent lip print is generated by contact with a surface and, like with the latent fingerprints occur, this latent lip print can be developed. This study aims to retrieve latent lip prints from various inanimate surfaces like thermocoal plate, bone china, and glass to compare the efficacy of developers i.e., fingerprint powder, Sudan III, Vermillion, and its comparison with standard lipstick prints. Current research assesses the effectiveness of particular surfaces in the retrieval of lip print in personnel identification. This study included a total of 30 subjects. Latent lip print was developed on the different inanimate surfaces by pressing the lips against the different vehicles. After collecting samples, a camel hair brush was used to retrieve all three chemicals individually by simply tapping on all three surfaces. Application of chemicals was continued until the print became clearly visible for the study. Developed latent lip print was then compared with the visible lip print. Subsequently, a standard lipstick print was developed from the same subject. All the samples were coded and graded according to the patterns suggested in the literature. Discrete (categorical) data were summarized in number and percentage and compared by chi-square (χ2) test. Analyses were performed on SPSS software (Windows version 17.0).: The overall (i.e., total of all three surfaces) favourable outcome was found highest in Fingerprint powder (58.9%) followed by Sudan III (28.9%) and Vermilion (10.0%) the least (Vermilion &#60; Sudan III &#60; Fingerprint powder).Comparing the overall outcomes of three developers, χ2 test showed significantly different and higher favourable outcome in Fingerprint powder as compared to both Sudan III and Vermilion (χ2=92.09, p&#60;0.001) The study found Fingerprint powder the best developer and Thermocol plate the best surface. The findings of this study may be beneficial for investigators.
