O b j e c t i v e s : (i) To know about the knowledge, attitude and practices of parents of children with febrile convulsions, (ii) To provideadequate information of relationship between fever and febrile convulsions and its usual good prognosis. D e s i g n : Descriptive study. S e t t i n g :It was conducted at Pediatric Department of Madina Teaching Hospital Sargodha Road Faisalabad. P e r i o d : Two years period from January2007-2009. M A T E R I A L A N D M E T H O D S : 150 parents and their children with febrile convulsions were included in the study. Diagnosis wasmade on the basis of a history of a convulsion in the child with a febrile illness. Cases were excluded when there was doubt about theoccurrence of convulsions, or if the child previously had convulsions due to any other cause, or if the physical examination or laboratoryparameters suggested any other etiology for the convulsions. LP was done in case of first time febrile fits. A pretested questionnaire comprisingof 12 questions was used for the study. Data was presented through frequency table. Statistical test of significance was Chi-square test. Thedata was analyzed with the help of SPSS computer program EQS 10 N. R e s u l t s : in the study 83 parents (59.3%) could not recognize theconvulsion; 127 parents (90.7%) did not carry out any intervention prior to getting the child to the hospital. 109 (77.9%) parents did not knowthe facts that the convulsion can occur due to fever. For 56 (40%) of the parents every subsequent episode of fever was like a nightmare. Only21 parents (15%) had thermometer at home and 28 (20%) knew the normal range of body temperature. Correct preventive measures wereknown to only 41 (29.2%). C o n c l u s i o n s : Parental fear of fever and febrile convulsion is a major problem with negative consequences affectingdaily family life. The most common immediate effect of the convulsion on the parents was fear of death and insomnia and fear of braindamage.

Objective: To assess the association between adult -onset epilepsy and history of childhood febrile convulsions (CFC) and determine the types of epilepsy which develop after CFC Design: A retrospective study. Study period: January 2008 to December 2008. Place of study: Epilepsy Clinic of the Department of Neurology of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka. Materials & Methods: 106 consecutive adult (age>13 years) patients with adult onset epilepsy receiving treatment from Epilepsy Clinic of the Department of Neurology of BSMMU, Dhaka were the sample of this study. Records of these patients were reviewed & the patients & their family members were interviewed to assess the medical history. The data obtained from the records and the interviews formed the basis of this study. Chi-Square test was applied to analysis the data. Results: Results of interview and records of 92 patients were analyzed. Of the 106 patients 14 patients were excluded from this study for the reasons of missing reliable data of the CFC episodes (9), secondary epilepsy due to intracerebral space occupying lesions (ICSOL) (1), history of head injury (1) & meningoencephalitis (3). Thirty one (33.7%) of the remaining ninety two patients had history of CFC in the childhood (71% male, 29% female). Partial epilepsies were significantly associated with history of CFC [Odds Ratio : 3.29; (95% CI 1.30-8.06), (c2=5.49, df=1, p<0.012)] when compared to other epilepsies and epilepsy syndromes. An initial unprovoked simple partial seizure was also significantly associated with a positive history of CFC [Odds Ratio : 8.05; (95% CI 2.88-22.45), (c2=15.86, df=1, p<0.001)]. Conclusion: Partial epilepsies seem to be associated with a history of CFC in childhood. The mechanism & pathophysiology of association between CFC and epilepsy in affected probands requires further investigations. Identification of the basic defect in relation to CFC & epilepsy may have important implication for the prevention of adult- onset epilepsy in patients with history of CFC. But the risk of epilepsy after febrile convulsions is much less than reported in many hospital studies & if febrile convulsion causes brain damage that leads to epilepsy later, this is a rare occurrence.

A prospective cross sectional study was designed to assess the patterns of adult-onset epilepsy and determine the types of epilepsy which develop after complex febrile convulsion (CFC) and find out the causes of epilepsy, from January to December 2008, in Epilepsy Clinic of the Department of Neurology of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka. 106 consecutive adult (age>13 years) patients with adult-onset epilepsy receiving treatment from Epilepsy Clinic of the Department of Neurology of BSMMU, Dhaka, were the sample of this study. Records of these patients were reviewed & the patients & their family members were interviewed to assess the medical history. The data obtained from the records and the interviews formed the basis of this study. Chi-Square test was applied to analysis the data. Interviewed results and records of 106 patients were analyzed. Of the 106 patients with adult- onset epilepsy, the epilepsy categories [median age: 20 years, range: 14-46 years] were: generalized epilepsies in 51 (54.06%), partial epilepsies in 45 (47.7%), & undetermined epilepsies in 10 (10.6%) Thirty one (32.86%) of the 106 patients had history of CFC in the childhood (71% male, 29% female). Partial epilepsies were significantly associated with history of CFC [Odds Ratio: 3.29; (95% CI 1.30-8.06), (c2=5.49, df=1, p=0.012)] when compared to other epilepsies and epilepsy syndromes. An initial unprovoked simple partial seizure was also significantly associated with a positive history of CFC [Odds Ratio: 8.05; (95% CI 2.88-22.45), (c2=15.86, df=1, p<0.001)]. Generalized epilepsies are more common than partial epilepsies. Partial epilepsies seem to be associated with a history of CFC in childhood. The mechanism & pathophysiology of association between CFC and epilepsy in affected probands requires further investigations. Identification of the basic defect in relation to CFC & epilepsy may have important implication for the prevention of adult- onset epilepsy in patients with history of CFC. But the risk of epilepsy after febrile convulsions is much less than reported in many hospital studies & if febrile convulsion causes brain damage that leads to later epilepsy, this is a rare occurrence.

Although extensively studied, psoriasis still has negative consequences and is associated with multiple comorbidities, including metabolic syndrome. The severity of psoriasis seems to influence the occurrence of diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome. 208 patients diagnosed with psoriasis were identified, who were divided into lots depending on the severity of psoriasis, but also to the presence or absence of metabolic syndrome. Interpretation of statistical data was done with SPSS V21 (Statistical Package for Social Science) and MEDCALC (Statistical Software). The coexistence of severe psoriasis with metabolic syndrome increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases by 2.97 or greater, with a confidence interval of [1.60, 5.51], than that of patients with severe psoriasis who have no metabolic syndrome. The hypothesis was statistically confirmed by p = 0.003. Analyzing the total group with psoriasis by severity, we found the following distribution: from the total number of 208 patients, 39 (18.8%) had severe psoriasis, 83 (39.9%) moderate psoriasis and 86 (41.3%) mild psoriasis. The higher incidence of metabolic syndrome in patients with psoriasis is evidenced by the Pearson Chi-Square test, where p [0.001. The association of metabolic syndrome in patients with psoriasis is evident. The more severe the psoriasis, the more likely it is to develop metabolic syndrome.

ABSTRACT Aim To determine microbial prevalence in the mucous membrane and prosthesis of denture wearers with and without denture stomatitis and to study its relationship with potential clinical cofactors. Materials and methods Saliva was collected from 200 patients (100 female and 100 male) wearing dental prosthesis for measurement of pH. Oral samples of the mucous membrane and of dentures were taken with sterile swab for microbiological analysis. Medical and dietary history of the subjects was recorded. Chi-square test and analysis of varience were used for statistical analysis. Results Diabetes, hypertension and high carbohydrate ingestion was observed in majority of patients. The pH average in saliva was of 5.1. The presence of C. albicans, S. aureus and S. mutans in the mucous membrane was of 55.4, 56.4 and 63.6% respectively. C. albicans was isolated in 69.7% from the prosthesis, whereas S. aureus and S. mutans were isolated in 45.3%. The isolation of C.albicans was more frequent in patients with deture stomatitis. Conclusion C. albicans, S. aureus and S. mutans frequently colonize the oral mucous of denture wearers. This is more frequently observed in patients with denture stomatitis. Clinical significance Denture stomatitis is associated to Candida albicans, different bacteria and other cofactors, such as salivary pH, carbohydrate ingestion, systemic illnesses and medication.

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.

Soil damage by moving water is a somber predicament on farmlands in highland Ethiopia. Sizeable number of trial in farmland preservation has been executed to handle the crisis during the last tens of years. However, the attempts have not been vibrant to trim-down the danger to an attractive extent. This paper evaluates factors contributing to application of soil-steps (bunds) as sustainable farmland management technology (SFLMT) by smallholder farmers in one of the high-potential districts of northwest Ethiopia named Dangila Woreda (District). Mixed method triangulation designs involving concurrent acquisition and interpretation of quantitative and qualitative data were used in the study. Data were acquired from randomly chosen 201 farming households during the harvest seasons of 2011 and 2012. Ordered questionnaire, participatory field observation, key informant interview and focus group discussion were mechanisms employed during the data acquisition. Descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations and percentiles), Chi-square test, t-test and the binary logistic regression model were used to analyze the quantitative data. The qualitative information was textually narrated to augment the quantitative results. Findings of the investigation confirm that age of the household head, the number of household members, slope of the farmland, the size of the farmland held, households’ participation in indigenous labour-sharing activities and the number of farm tools owned were significantly increasing the building of soil-steps as SFLMT in the study district. Involvement in off-farm activities and pest invasions were considerably hindering farmers from building soil-steps on their farmlands. The results in general indicated that households’ access to livelihood assets are key promoters for farmers’ implementation of soil-steps on their farmlands. Local resource preservation and improvement trials should thus ponder on convalescing farmers’ material endowments to improve their capability to use soil-steps as SFLMT in their farming activities.

Leptospirosis is associated with occupations which exposed workers to contaminated environments. The risk of leptospirosis exposure in the market as a gathering place for many people needs to be assessed, to obtain the basis for decision making to anticipate leptospirosis transmission. This study aimed to determine the relationship between market environmental conditions including market sanitation conditions, the level of rat density and the presence of leptospira-positive rats  toward the history of leptospirosis exposure among market workers (traders and janitors). A cross sectional study conducted in 35 markets in Banjarnegara and 175 market workers randomly selected. Blood samples analysed using ELISA against 40 Kda pathogenic Leptospira protein. Rat trapping  conducted in each market for two days with 100 traps. The caught mice examined with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to detect the presence of Leptospira bacteria in their kidneys. Leptospirosis exposure was spread in 17 markets in Banjarnegara. The PCR examination showed that the pathogenic Leptospira infected rats were spread in four markets in Banjarnegara. Chi square test showed that the hygene condition in market area was significantly associated with the leptospirosis exposure. Markets workers (traders and janitors) were at risk for leptospirosis proved by high seroprevalence of leptospirosis in this study.

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.
