Level Of Knowledge

Hypertension is one of the number one causes of death and disability in the world. Hypertension contributes nearly 9.4 million deaths from cardiovascular disease each year. Hypertension can cause undesirable effects, it needs good handling, one of them is by doing a hypertension diet. To carry out a hypertension diet requires knowledge, lack of knowledge can increase risk factors for hypertension. This study aims to determine the relationship of the level of knowledge about hypertension diet to the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at the Baloi Permai Public Health Center Batam City. This research method is an analytic observational with a cross-sectional approach conducted at the Baloi Permai Public Health Center Batam City 2018. Sampling technique is a total sampling with a sample of 64 people in 2018 determined by inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the study were analyzed with frequency distribution and then tested with the Chi-square test. Based on the results of this study indicate that of the 64 respondents found elderly who have a good level of knowledge are 41 people (64.1%), 48 people (75.0%) have an age range between 60-70 years. 27 people (42.2%) elderly have the last high school education and 40 people (62.5%) have jobs as entrepreneurs. Elderly people who have normal blood pressure are 40 people (62.5%), and those affected by hypertension are 24 people (37.5%). The elderly who have a family history of hypertension is 21 people (32.8%) and those who do not have a history of hypertension are 43 people (67.2%). Chi-Square Test analysis results show the significance value p = 0.009. This number is significant because the p-value is smaller than the significance level (α) ≤ 5% (0.05), so H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Therefore it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship about the level of knowledge about the hypertension diet to the incidence of hypertension in the elderly. From the results of this study it was concluded that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge about the hypertension diet and the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at the Baloi Permai Public Health Center Batam City in 2016.

Stunting is a children growth problem that occurs a result of chronic malnutrition in the first 1000 days of life. The indicator of stunting is using the height measurement according to age HFA (Height for Age) under -2 SD based on the WHO growth standard curve according to sex. The impacts of stunting are the occurrence of growth disorders, barriers to development and the risk of metabolic disorders in adulthood. One of the risk factors for stunting is history of quality and quantity Antenatal Care (ANC). This study aimed to determine the relationship between quality and quantity history of ANC visits and stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 years in Pujon District Malang Regency. The method used in this research was observational analytic by using cross-sectional design. The population of this study was all mothers who have children aged 24-59 months that were conducted in January 2020. Ninety eight respondents taken by purposive sampling as the sample of the research. The data was obtained by filling out questionnaires and KIA books, then analyzed with chi-square test (α = 0.05). The results showed that there was a significant relationship in quality (p-value = 0.004) and quantity (p-value = 0.003) toward stunting.

Background: Uterine synechiae refers to a total or partial union of the inner walls of the uterus resulting from endometrial trauma. It is a cause of reproductive failure. Until now, synechia was not optimally treated and has remained understudied in Cameroon. Objective of present study was to Evaluate the diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic aspects of uterine synechiae treated by hysteroscopy.Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study with an analytical component from January 1st 2015 to July 31st 2017 at Yaounde. All patients diagnosed with uterine synechiae and treated with hysteroscopy were our sample. Sampling was consecutive. The chi-square test was used for the comparison of qualitative variables and Fisher's test for ANOVA variance analysis. The comparison of the averages was made by the Student's test. P-value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: Hysteroscopies were indicated for uterine synechiae in 14.50%. Nulliparous were 56.67%. A history of curettage/aspiration was present in 66.66%. All of the patients had a form of infertility and 83.33% had menstrual disorders. Hysterosalpingography showed a better sensitivity (88%). After hysteroscopic treatment, 63.30% had a complete anatomical restitution. There is a significant correlation between the stage of severity of synechia and anatomical restitution (p=0.008; Spearman correlation coefficient=-0.477).Conclusions: Uterine synechiae represent one-sixth of all indications for hysteroscopy and present clinically as menstrual disorder associated with infertility. A past history of uterine curettage is common. Hysterosalpingography has a better preoperative diagnostic sensitivity. Hysteroscopy allows optimal treatment.

ABSTRACT Objective To determine the denture hygiene habits in complete denture patients according to their age and time of dentures. Methods In this study a self administered structured was developed to know the attitude of the patients regarding denture hygiene in the department of Prosthodontics. The total study sample consisted of 230 subjects including 124 (53.9%) males and 106 (46.1%) females. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 15.0 with chi-square test at p-value <0.05. Results Nearly half of the subjects clean their dentures daily once. Participants from the younger age group and who had been wearing dentures since 2 years maintain better frequency of cleaning. The majority of these subjects used water and brush for denture cleansing. After seeing the condition, half of the dentures were rated as good 50.3%, followed by fair and poor as 29.5 and 20.2% respectively. Clinical significance Poor condition of complete dentures seen in the population is mainly due to irregularly cleansing habits and also less usage of cleansing solutions. Dentists should give proper instructions regarding maintenance of denture hygiene. How to cite this article Apratim A, Shah SS, Sinha M, Agrawal M, Chhaparia N, Abubakkar A.

Background: Migraine is one of the most common types of headache; it is a chronic neurological disease that affects 15% of the population, however, information about its prevalence in Sudan is scarce. Aim: The aim of this study was to study prevalence of migraine and trigger factors among adult rural Sudanese population in 2018. Setting and Design: This is a cross sectional two-stage door-to-door community-based study conducted in 16 administrative areas in rural Sudan. Materials and Methods: A sample of 8610 adult Sudanese individuals, 18 years and above was selected. A structured pretested questionnaire was used included questions about two or more headaches in the last three months for screening. Participants with at least one positive response were asked to perform the 3-item validated Identification of Migraine (ID Migraine) test. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 20 for descriptive statistics and one way chi square test was used for testing the association of triggering factors with migraine at 95% confidence level of significant. Results:  Four hundred and sixty eight had migraine with a prevalence rate of 5.4% among 8610 study population. The prevalence of migraine was 40% among those having at least two episodes of headache. Females were significantly affected by migraine more than males, P- value 0.044. Migraine significantly decreases with increase in age showed the highest frequency among the age group 18-29 years (38.0%). Family history of migraine accounted to 83.4% of population with migraine. Population with migraine who experienced aura was 64.5%. Already diagnosed population with migraine was 38.9%.The most important triggering factors among population with migraine were irregular/lack of sleep followed by stress/anxiety, noise and fatigue/physical activity, 91.0%, 88.0%, 85.7% and 84.6% respectively. The females experienced migraine with menstruation accounted to 46.7%. Perceived migraine effect was moderate to severe on work/ daily activities/ leisure of 78.2% of population with migraine. Conclusion: Migraine prevalence was alarming in this study. A gap exists in the diagnosis of migraine that needs efforts to reduce the sufferings of affected population.

Objectives: To find out the sociodemographic characteristics ofconversion disorders and to find if there is any difference between the presenting symptoms of rural and urbanpopulation. Design: A non-probability, purposive, hospital based sample. Place and Duration of Study: Psychiatrydepartment of Victoria Hospital Bahawalpur, from February 2004 to April 2005. Patients and Method: A sample of 100-patients was collected. Both sexes were included. DSM-IV criteria for conversion disorder were applied for diagnosisof all these patients. Informed consent was taken for inclusion in the study. Patients suffering from concurrent physicaldisorders were excluded. The first author (NM.) using a semi-structured pro-forma interviewed all these patients. Thesociodemographic characteristics and the clinical profile were collected. Statistical analysis was made with the statisticalpackage for windows, SPSS (version –10). The applied method for group comparison was chi square- test. Results:The mean age of patients from the urban area was 24.26±7.25 years, as compared to 22.15±7.49 years for thepatients from the rural area. Most of the patients were females and were married. Majority of the patients from the urbanas well as from the rural area were uneducated and from the lower socio-economic class. The onset of illness wastypically acute and sudden, with precipitating life event. Majority of the patients had family history of the illness and comorbidpsychiatric disorders. The presenting symptoms were either sensory, motor, mixed symptoms and psuedoseizures.The presenting symptoms of patient from both urban (p value of 0.008), and rural area (P value =0.013), werestatistically significant. There were no statistically significant association between the presenting symptoms and thearea of living. The p values of the entire chi square tests were greater than (0.05). Conclusion: Prompt elimination ofthe symptoms of conversion disorder is important to prevent secondary gains from reinforcing it and causing it to persistor reoccur. Psychiatric services need to be developed and updated for the provision of prompt and efficient treatment,for the patients with these chronic and sometimes disabling conversion disorders.
