Abstract: Globally, scabies is still a health problem since there are 300 million of cases occur annually in the world. WHO declared scabies as one of the highest six epidermal skin parasite disease incidence rates in the world. Scabies is a skin disease caused by infestation and sensitization to mites Sarcoptes scabiei variety hominis. Sarcoptes scabiei including Arthropod phylum, class Arachnida, order Acarina, super family Sarcopte. Transmission can occur through contact with an infected subject, but more often are transmitted by physical contact time, such as sleeping in the same place or sexual contact. Scabies is a contagious skin disease that affects humans and animals. This study aimed to obtain the profile of scabies at the Dermatovenereology clinic of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado period January 2013 - December 2013. This was a retrospective study of 60 new patient medical records scabies based on the number of patients, age, gender, occupation, location and treatment. The results showed that of the 60 people with scabies (1.46% of total new patients), the highest percentages were as follows: age group 15-24 years (26.67%); male gender (61.67%); job as student (36.68%); interdigital of hand location (25%); combination of permethrin, systemic anti-histamine, and topical antibiotic (83.33%); and stayed at home (95%).Keywords: scabies, retrospective studyAbstrak: Skabies masih merupakan masalah kesehatan secara global karena 300 juta kasus terjadi setiap tahunnya di dunia.

Background: Suicide is a devastating problem. It is to some extent preventable if we are aware of its factors. These factors vary according to community, cast and creed. Many studies were conducted at many places of the world but there is none in Chittagong. To know the high risk factors of suicide in Chittagong we have conducted the study.Methods : It was a descriptive study. Secondary data were used. All suicidal reports of Chittagong mortuary in 2012 were studied. Collected data were managed manually. Results were contrasted with recent studies of home & abroad.Results: Total 165 reports were studied. Majority of the victims 128(78%) were of 15-45 years age group. Male female ratio was 49: 51. Married victims were 109(66%). Muslims 125(76%). Majority of the victims 104(63%) were poorly literate (<SSC). Commonest profession of the victims was ‘housewife’57(35%). Next professional group was lower subordinate staffs 49(30%). Commonest method of suicide was Hanging 83(50%). Family feud was the commonest cause of suicide and it was 72(44%).Conclusion: Commonest demographic factor of suicide in Chittagong is ‘Family Feud’ It is mostly manageable and thus we can prevent suicide occurrence significantly. So, everybody should come forward to remove causes of family feud and others for a noble humanitarian cause.Chatt Maa Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.16 (2); July 2017; Page 14-13

Background: Geographical differences in number of COVID-19 cases and death are affected by population density, age, gender distribution and mitigation measures like social distancing etc. The aim of this study was to determine the geographical distribution of number of cases of covid-19 in different areas of Maharashtra. The investigator wants to know, which area, which age group and which gender has been affected the most by COVID-19 along with the effect of lockdown.Methods: Area and population of all the COVID-19 affected area was collected and area wise number of cases till 31st May 2020 was considered. Association between number of COVID-19 cases and population of areas was calculated and gender-wise and age-wise case distribution was also calculated.Results: Cases are more in urban areas mainly in corporation (Chi square=114441; p<0.0001). Age group 31-40 years’ is most affected (11.5 per 100,000 population affected). Young adults as well males were affected most and even though population of children is quite big, they remained less affected (chi square=22117).Conclusions: This COVID-19 is a disease of urban area primarily affecting corporation areas. High population density and overcrowding are mainly responsible for initial phase of this disease only in corporation area. Strict lockdown and other social measures decreased both transmission and mortality rate.

Abstract In a recent report, the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) introduced South Korea’s measures to manage COVID-19 as role model for the world. Screening centers serve as frontiers for preventing community transmission of infectious diseases. COVID-19 screening centers in Korea operate 24 h a day, always open for individuals with suspected COVID-19 symptoms. South Korea concentrated COVID-19 screening centers around cities with high population density. Advanced screening centers (models C, D, and E) proved more effective and efficient in the prevention of COVID-19 than the traditional screening centers (models A and B). Particularly, screening centers at Incheon Airport in South Korea prevent transmission through imported cases effectively. It will be important elsewhere, as in South Korea, to establish an infectious disease delivery system that can lead to 'Test-Treat-Track' using an adequate model of screening centers.

The oldest-old and dementia at the end of life describes what is known about the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors for dementia in people aged 90 and older, the fastest growing segment of the population in much of the world. It reviews the main neuropathological abnormalities found during autopsy, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), vascular lesions, and hippocampal sclerosis and discusses how these abnormalities are related to dementia in very elderly individuals. The chapter highlights differences in risk and protective factors, and underlying neuropathologies associated with dementia compared to younger elderly. Taking into consideration the rapid increase in the number of oldest-old by the middle of the century, it reviews the potential impact of interventions to reduce Alzheimer’s disease pathology on the prevalence of dementia in this age group. Finally, it presents methodological challenges in studying this age group and offers potential strategies to address some of these challenges.

Background Subgroups of precarious populations such as homeless people are more exposed to infection and at higher risk of developing severe forms of COVID-19 compared to the general population. Many of the recommended prevention measures, such as social distancing and self-isolation, are not feasible for a population living in shelters characterised by physical proximity and a high population density. The objective of the study was to describe SARS-CoV-2 infection prevalence in homeless shelters in Brussels (Belgium), and to identify risk factors and infection control practices associated with SARS-CoV-2 positivity rates. Methods A total of 1994 adults were tested by quantitative PCR tests in 52 shelters in Brussels (Belgium) between April and June, 2020, in collaboration with Doctors of the World. SARS-CoV-2 prevalence is here described site by site, and we identify risk factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 positivity rates. We also investigate associations between seropositivity and reported symptoms. Results We found an overall prevalence of 4.6% for the period, and a cluster of high rates of SARS-CoV-2 positivity (20–30% in two shelters). Among homeless people, being under 40 years of age (OR (CI95%) 2.3 (1.2–4.4), p = 0.02), having access to urgent medical care (AMU) (OR(CI95%): 2.4 (1.4–4.4)], p = 0.02), and sharing a room with someone who tested positive (OR(CI95%): 5.3 (2.9–9.9), p<0.0001) were factors associated with SARS-CoV-2 positivity rates. 93% of those who tested positive were asymptomatic. Conclusion This study shows high rates of SARS-COV-2 infection positive tests in some shelters, with a high proportion of asymptomatic cases. The survey reveals how important testing and isolation measures are, together with actions taken by medical and social workers during the outbreak.

Moldboard Plow

Similar forms of subsistence and social organization have emerged in different parts of the world in response to similar ecological, technological, and demographic factors. For example, moldboard plow agriculture evolved in many places as the result of high population density, availability of large domesticable animals, presence of wet and heavy soils, and such staples as wheat, barley, rye, and buckwheat, which required extensive land preparation and “considerable surface area to produce the food calories necessary to feed a family” (Pryor 1985:732). Wolf long ago (1957) noted that the colonial experience had helped to promote the development of closed, corporate communities in rural societies of Mesoamerica and Indonesia.
