Primiparous Women

Objective To identify the association between perineal trauma and pain in 473 primiparous women. Method Cross-sectional study in which pain was measured by the numerical pain scale (0 to 10 - 0 being no pain and 10 maximal pain). Results The prevalence and mean intensity of pain were 33.0% and 4.7 points (standard deviation = 2.0) in the numeric scale, respectively. Episiotomy represented the most frequent trauma (46.7%). The occurrence and intensity of the pain were associated with perineal trauma and postpartum time. Having perineal trauma tripled the chance of pain. Each hour elapsed following the birth reduced the chance of pain by 4.8%. Conclusion Primiparous women are subject to a high frequency of perineal trauma, with episiotomy being the most prominent. Perineal pain affects approximately one-third of primiparous women and is associated with the postpartum time and perineal traumas.

Vaccine Preparation

Vaccine-related errors (VREs) result from mistakes in vaccine preparation, handling, storage, or administration. We aimed to assess physicians’ and nurses’ experiences of VREs in South Korea, focusing on reconstitution issues, and to understand the barriers to and facilitators of preventing them. This was a cross-sectional study using an internet-based survey to examine experiences of reconstitution-related errors, and experience or preference with regard to ready-to-use vaccines (RTU) by physicians and nurses. A total of 700 participants, including 250 physicians and 450 nurses, responded to the questionnaire. In total, 76.4% and 41.5% of the physicians and nurses, respectively, reported an error related to reconstituted vaccines. All errors had been reported as experienced by between 4.9% and 52.0% of physicians or nurses. The errors were reported to occur in more than one in 100 vaccinations for inadequate shaking of vaccines by 28.0% of physicians and 6.9% of nurses, incomplete aspiration of reconstitution vials by 28.0% of physicians and 6.4% of nurses, and spillage or leakage during reconstitution by 20.8% of physicians and 6.9% of nurses. A total of 94.8% of physicians had experience with RTU vaccines, and all preferred RTU formulations. In conclusion, this study highlights the high frequency and types of reconstitution-related errors in South Korea. RTU vaccines could help reduce the time needed for preparation and reduce the risk of errors in South Korea.

High Frequency Hearing Loss

Hearing loss (≥26 dB threshold in the better ear), as a common chronic condition in humans, is increasingly gaining attention. Relevant research in China is relatively scarce, so we conduct a population-based study to investigate the prevalence of hearing loss among age groups, genders and ears in Zhejiang province, China, from September 2016 to June 2018.Study designPopulation-based cross-sectional studyParticipantsA total of 3754 participants aged 18–98 years and living in Zhejiang province, China.Outcome measuresPure-tone audiometric thresholds were measured at frequencies of 0.125–8 kHz for each subject. All participants were asked to complete a structured questionnaire, in the presence of a healthcare official.ResultsThe prevalence of speech-frequency and high-frequency hearing loss was 27.9% and 42.9%, respectively, in Zhejiang. There were significant differences in auditory thresholds at most frequencies among the age groups, genders (male vs female: 31.6%vs24.1% at speech frequency; 48.9% vs 36.8% at high frequency) and ears. In addition to the common factors affecting both types of hearing loss, a significant correlation was found between personal income and speech-frequency hearing loss (OR=0.69, 95% CI 0.52 to 0.92), and between hyperlipidaemia and high-frequency hearing loss (OR=1.45, 95% CI 1.02 to 2.07).ConclusionThe prevalence of hearing loss was high among people living in Zhejiang, particularly males, and in the left ear. Moreover, hearing thresholds increased with age. Several lifestyle and environment factors, which can be influenced by awareness and education, were significantly associated with hearing loss.

The Relationship

Objective: to identify the relationship between depression and the school average in students of the Faculty of Psychology and Therapy of Human Communication, UJED. Depression was assessed by the Beck Test to 110 students. It is a quantitative, exploratory, non-experimental, observational and cross-sectional study, with descriptive and correlational statistical analysis, with non-probabilistic sampling for convenience. Chronbach's alpha of the analyzed data was 0.89. 50% of the students presented some level of depression, with a significant correlation between depression and the school average with r: -. 247 and p: .009. Contribution: the results indicate that, in a very weak, but statistically significant way, the higher the school average, the lower the level of depression among students. The high frequency of the incidence of depression in the sample studied plus the significant correlation, suggest the need to implement depression care programs concurrent to the educational process.

Objective: To evaluate the presence and relation of depression and anxiety among patients seeking rhinoplasty Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Departments of Psychiatry, department of Plastic Surgery and ENT, Combined Military Hospital Multan, from Jan 2019 to Mar 2020.

Abstract Background: Neuropathic pain is defined as pain caused by injury or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Our purpose was to study the frequency of neuropathic pain among common lumboradiculalgia patients in subsaharian Africa patients. Methods: This was a bicentric cross-sectional study from February 2015 to 30 July 2015 in the first center and then from February 2017 to 30 July 2017 in the second center, i.e. a duration of 6 months for each study site. All patients with a common lomboradiculalgie were included. DN4 questionnaire was used for the diagnosis of neuropathic pain.Results : Four hundred and nine patients with common lumboradiculalgia were included. There were 278 females (67.97%) and 131 males (32.03%), for a sex ratio of 0.47. The average age was 51.75 ± 13.84 years with extremes of 16 and 88 years. One hundred and seventy-five patients ( 42.8%) had NP. Statistical analysis showed a statistically significant association between the existence of NP and age over 60 years and the existence of radiculalgia. Conclusions: Our study confirms the high frequency of neuropathic pain during common lumboradiculalgia. Age over 60 years and Poorly systematized radiculalgia were associated to NP.
