The long-term contraceptive method is an effective method for preventing pregnancies. However, users of long-term contraceptive methods are considerably lower compared to those of non-long-term contraceptive methods in South Sulawesi. The research objective was to examine the determinants of choosing long-term contraceptive methods in South Sulawesi. This study used data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey by analyzing 583 married women who were using contraception in South Sulawesi. A descriptive analysis was employed to estimate the prevalence of long-term contraceptive methods. Meanwhile, the Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to identify the determinants of choosing long-term contraceptive methods. The results from the descriptive analysis showed about 18.9% of the sampled married women were long-term contraception users, among those were implant users (10.2%). More married women with higher education and more parity chose to use it. The better the knowledge about the type of contraception, the greater the chance to use long-term contraceptive methods. Women who were told about side effects, sources of government services, and free fees were significantly influenced to use long-term contraception. Women who received staff visits and visited health facilities were less likely to choose the long-term methods. This implies that contact with field oMKJPlong-term contraceptive methodslong-term contraceptive methodsfficers has not been able to motivate prospective acceptors to use . Improved education and knowledge, especially about types of contraception and side effects, are needed to increase women’s long-term contraception use alongside. The quality of services at free/subsidized costs also needs to be improved, and training should be given for capacity building, especially in communication skills, to family planning field officers.

RESUMO Ao longo da história sempre existiram pessoas com alguma limitação física, sensorial ou intelectual, cuja trajetória foi marcada pela ignorância, indiferença, preconceito e lutas em busca da inclusão social. No Brasil, o censo de 2000 registrou 24,5 milhões de pessoas com algum tipo de deficiência. A avaliação dos deficientes de uma região permite conhecer melhor as condições e realidades nas quais essas pessoas estão inseridas. São poucos os estudos voltados às pessoas com deficiência, especificamente em relação à qualidade de vida dessas pessoas nas regiões do Triângulo Mineiro e Alto Paranaíba de Minas Gerais. Por meio de análise descritiva dos dados, aplicação do teste Qui-quadrado e a utilização da Análise de Correspondência, foi possível conhecer o perfil das pessoas com deficiência nessas regiões. Em ambas as regiões, verificou-se que o domicílio urbano está associado às deficiências visual e motora para habitantes do sexo feminino. A deficiência auditiva está associada ao sexo masculino tanto em domicílio urbano e rural, e verificou-se ainda uma relação entre pessoas de baixa renda e dificuldades relacionada à visão.   Palavras-chave: Qui-quadrado; Análise de Correspondência; Perfil; Associação; Variáveis Socioeconômicas.   ABSTRACT Throughout history there have always been people with physical, sensory or intellectual limitation, whose career was marked by ignorance, indifference, prejudice and struggles in pursuit of social inclusion. In Brazil, the 2000 census recorded 24.5 million people with a disability. The evaluation of the disabled in a region enables better understanding of the conditions and realities in which these people are located. Few studies focused on people with disabilities, specifically in relation to the quality of life of these people in the regions of Triangulo Mineiro and Alto Parnaíba of Minas Gerais. Through descriptive analysis of the data, application of chi-square test and the use of correspondence analysis, it was possible to know the profile of disabled people in these regions. In both regions, it was found that urban household is associated with visual impairments and motor for female population. Hearing loss is associated with males in both urban and rural household, and still found a relation between the poor and difficulties related to vision.   Keywords: Chi-square; Correspondence Analysis; Profile; Association; Socioeconomic Variables.

Background: High maternal mortality has always been an area of concern in developing countries. Availability and availment of adequate antenatal care play a significant role in reduction of maternal deaths. Aim & Objective: To know the extent of antenatal care (ANC) services utilization by the currently married women of rural Uttarakhand during their last pregnancy, to find the barriers for utilization of ANC services and correlate the socio-demographic variables with the non-utilization of ANC services. Methods and Material: This correlational study was conducted in rural areas of 3 randomly selected districts in Uttarakhand. Multistage stratified and simple random samplings were used for area selection and PPS technique was used to recruit the participants. Overall, 637 currently married women (CMW) who delivered in last 5 years prior to survey, were interviewed by trained social workers. Chi-square test was used to ascertain association between variables and regression analysis was done to adjust for confounding associations. Results: Overall 496 (77.9%) women availed one or more ANC services during their last pregnancy, but the complete package was availed by only 210 (33%) of the CMW. Majority of the women who did not avail any ANC services were older, illiterate, labourer, spouse of labourer/ unemployed person and belonged to lower socio-economic status. Unawareness was the most commonly cited reason for not availing ANC services followed by financial issues and unfelt need. Conclusions: Women in Uttarakhand are pliant to ANC services, but there is a need to create demand for it by increasing awareness and improving the quality of ANC services.

Background: There is insufficient information in the literature on the comparative efficacy and tolerability of methotrexate (MTX) and methylprednisolone (MP) in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis in assessing primary outcomes and the relapse rate. Purpose: The aim of our study was to evaluate primary and long-term outcomes of using MTX and MP in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis. Methods: A total of 143 patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary sarcoidosis, verified by high-resolution computed tomography (CT) data, were examined. Corticosteroid (CS) therapy was used in 97 patients using MP at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg body weight for 4 weeks, followed by a dose reduction to 0.1 mg/kg by the end of the sixth month. The total duration of CS therapy was 12 months on average. Forty-six patients were treated with MTX at a dose of 10 mg/week (28) and 15 mg/week (18) per os for 6 to 12 months. The study of the relapse rate was conducted within 12 months after the CT data normalization in 60 patients after CS therapy and in 24 after MTX treatment. Results: MP treatment was successfully completed in 68 (70.1%), and MTX in 29 (60.4%) patients. In five MP patients (5.2%) and in five (10.9%) MTX, treatment was discontinued due to serious side effects. In seven (7.2%) MP patients and ten (21.7%) MTX patients, treatment required additional therapy due to the lack of efficacy. Progression with MP treatment (17–17.5%) was more common than with MTX (2–4.3%; Chi square = 4.703, p = 0.031). Relapses after MP therapy were observed in 26 (43.3%) patients, and after MTX therapy in 2 (8.3%; Chi square = 9.450, p = 0.003). Conclusion: In patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis, MTX monotherapy does not differ significantly from MP monotherapy in terms of the level of efficacy and the rate of serious side effects. Increasing the MTX dose from 10 to 15 mg/week accelerates the rate of regression of sarcoidosis, improves treatment efficacy, and does not affect the rate of serious side effects. When using MTX, there is a significant decrease in the incidence of treatment resistance and the relapse rate.

<p>This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of adding sucrose in vitrification solution of ovine embryos produced <em>in vivo</em>. Forty Dorper ewes were selected and superovulated. Immediately prior to the embryo collection by laparotomy, a laparoscopy was performed to verify the superovulatory response. The recovered flushing was followed by embryo evaluation and embryos were divided in two experimental groups where embryos from Control group were submitted to a traditional vitrification protocol and embryos from Sucrose group to a modified vitrification protocol with sucrose. After warming, embryos were again divided regarding cryoprotectant removal (Indirect) or not (Direct). The embryo quality was classified as embryos of degrees I (excellent or good), II (regular), III (poor) and IV (dead or degenerate). It was also verified the homogeneity of mass, occurrence of embryonic mass retraction and rupture of pellucid zone. The results were expressed as percentages and were subjected to Chi-square test with P &lt; 0.05. The embryos vitrified in the presence of sucrose had lower proportions of lower-quality embryos after warming (22.20 vs. 44.50%), higher percentages of homogeneous embryos after warming (63.89 vs. 38.89 %) while concerning other parameters there was no difference between these groups. It can be concluded that the addition of 0.4 M sucrose during vitrification improves the embryo quality.</p>

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors of apical periodontitis in endodontically treated teeth in a selected population of Brazilian adults. A total of 1,372 periapical radiographs of endodontically treated teeth were analyzed based on the quality of root filling, status of coronal restoration and presence of posts associated with apical periodontitis (AP). Data were analyzed statistically using odds ratio, confidence intervals and chi-square test. The prevalence of AP with adequate endodontic treatment was low (16.5%). This percentage dropped to 12.1% in cases with adequate root filling and adequate coronal restoration. Teeth with adequate endodontic treatment and poor coronal restoration had an AP prevalence of 27.9%. AP increased to 71.7% in teeth with poor endodontic treatment associated with poor coronal restoration. When poor endodontic treatment was combined with adequate coronal restoration, AP prevalence was 61.8%. The prevalence of AP was low when associated with high technical quality of root canal treatment. Poor coronal restoration increased the risk of AP even when endodontic treatment was adequate (OR=2.80; 95%CI=1.87-4.22). The presence of intracanal posts had no influence on AP prevalence.

Abstract Introduction Endodontically treated teeth with extensive coronary destruction require posts and cores to enable prosthetic restoration. Despite the increasing use of prefabricated posts, cast metal posts and cores are still widely used. The quality of the latter is important for the longevity of restorative treatment, and failure can occur if the fundamental principles are not followed. Objective To radiographically evaluate the prosthetic principles of 1000 cast metal post-and-core restorations performed in single-rooted teeth and their coherence with the principles used for their confection. Material and method Digital periapical radiographs of 1000 endodontically treated, single-rooted teeth with cast metal posts and cores were selected from the collection of a radiology clinic (Centro de Imagem, Aracaju/SE, Brazil). The images were analyzed using a measurement software (ImageJ, USA) in accordance with the fundamental prosthetic principles: length and diameter of the post, ratio between post and bone crest, contiguity of post to the root canal, gap between post and the remaining root canal filling, amount of remaining root canal filling, and absence of periapical lesion. The data were qualitatively analyzed, classified into ideal and not ideal, and submitted to the chi-square test (α=0.05). Result Only 6.7% of the cast metal posts analyzed were satisfactorily fabricated. Conclusion Many prosthetic criteria are neglected during the manufacturing of cast metal post and cores, resulting in inadequate work that may compromise the longevity of restorative treatments.

Objective: To investigate the implication of quality of obturation and coronal restoration on periapical tissue in failed endodontically treated teeth. Study Design and Setting: This cross-sectional research was performed in the Operative Department of BUMDC on 187 patients reporting with root canal failure from March 2019 to August 2019. Methodology: Patients of both genders aged between 20-60 years were considered for this study. Single and multirooted teeth indicated for repeated endodontic treatment due to under filled, overfilled obturation, voids in obturation, absence and presence of coronal restoration were included. One operator carried out clinical examination of the teeth and periapical radiograph was taken for each patient by using E-Speed film and evaluated by the same operator using an illuminated viewer box. SPSS 17 for windows software was used for data entering and chi- square test was applied for statistical calculation of the outcomes. Results: Total n=187 endodontic treated failed teeth were evaluated, out of which 52.9% were of females and 47.1% to males. The number of obturations with acceptable length were 81(43.3%), with adequate density were 107 (57.2%) and with consistent taper were 116(62%). Periapical lesion was observed in 118(63.1%) cases. Quality of obturation significantly affects the periapical health. Cross tabulation showed a significant association (p-value <0.000) between inadequate coronal restoration and changes in periapical area. Conclusion: The successful prognosis of the root canal treatment relies on the good quality of obturation and adequate coronal filling.
