Abstract: Pterygium is a wing-shaped tissue growth containing blood vessels and tissues originated from conjunctiva that can spread to the cornea. Pterygium can cause astig-matism and other disorders such as chronic irritation, recurrent inflammation, double vision, impaired eye movement, and even blindness if it spreads the the central part of cornea. This study was aimed to obtain the knowledge about pterygium among fishermen in Kapitu village South Minahasa. This was a descriptive study. Respondents in this study were 50 fishermen; all were males. The results showed that 75.4% of the respondents had good knowledge about pterygium. Conclusion: Most fishermen in Kapitu village South Minahasa had good knowledge about pterygium.Keywords: knowledge about pterygium, fishermen Abstrak: Pterigium merupakan pertumbuhan jaringan berbentuk sayap yang mengandung pembuluh darah dan jaringan yang berasal dari konjungtiva dan dapat menyebar ke kornea.

Hygiene Behavior

During menstruation blood vessels in the uterus are very easily infected because germs easily enter and cause diseases of the reproductive tract. Some of the most common disorders are vaginal discharge and pruritus vulvae (vaginal itching). However, this complaint can be prevented by maintaining the cleanliness of the female organs early on, namely with good menstrual personal hygiene. This study aims to describe the level of personal hygiene knowledge about menstruation. This research is a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach, with a total sample of 90 people taken by total sampling technique. The results showed that the majority of respondents had enough personal hygiene behavior as many as 82 people (91.1%), while good menstrual personal hygiene behavior was 3 people (3.3%), and respondents who had behaviors classified as less than 5 people ( 5.6%). Based on complaints on reproductive organs, respondents who experienced vaginal discharge were 85 people (94.4%) and itching around the genitals was around 83 people (92.2%).

The study entitled “A descriptive study to assess the knowledge regarding transient ischemic attack among hypertensive patients in Bishop Benziger Hospital at Kollam”. The objectives of the study was to assess the knowledge regarding transient ischemic attack among hypertensive patients in Bishop Benziger Hospital at Kollam, to determine the association between knowledge regarding transient ischemic attack among hypertensive patients and selected demographic variables like age, gender, education, occupation, period of diagnosis. In this study, research approach was quantitative research Purposive sample was used. The sample size was 100. The investigator assessed the knowledge of hypertensive patients by using structured knowledge questionnaire regarding transient ischemic attack after taking consent from sample. The findings of the study have been discussed in relation to objectives and similar studies. In the present study 28% had very poor knowledge, 25% had poor knowledge, 30% had average knowledge, 15% had good knowledge and only 2% had very good knowledge regarding transient ischemic attack. Association was computed by chi square test. The present study shows significant association between knowledgeregarding transient ischemic attack among hypertensive patients with selected demographic variables such as age, gender, education and occupation (calculated value > tabulated value) at 0.05 level of significance.

Abstract Ex vivo systems represent important models to study vascular biology and to test medical devices, combining the advantages of in vitro and in vivo models such as controllability of parameters and the presence of biological response, respectively. The aim of this study was to develop a comprehensive ex vivo vascular bioreactor to long-term culture and study the behavior of native blood vessels under physiologically relevant conditions. The system was designed to allow for physiological mechanical loading in terms of pulsatile hemodynamics, shear stress, and longitudinal prestretch and ultrasound imaging for vessel diameter and morphology evaluation. In this first experience, porcine carotid arteries (n = 4) from slaughterhouse animals were cultured in the platform for 10 days at physiological temperature, CO2 and humidity using medium with blood-mimicking viscosity, components, and stability of composition. As expected, a significant increase in vessel diameter was observed during culture. Flow rate was adjusted according to diameter values to reproduce and maintain physiological shear stress, while pressure was kept physiological. Ultrasound imaging showed that the morphology and structure of cultured arteries were comparable to in vivo. Histological analyses showed preserved endothelium and extracellular matrix and neointimal tissue growth over 10 days of culture. In conclusion, we have developed a comprehensive pulsatile system in which a native blood vessel can be cultured under physiological conditions. The present model represents a significant step toward ex vivo testing of vascular therapies, devices, drug interaction, and as basis for further model developments.

ABSTRACT This paper aims to describe an inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia case caused by chronic irritation due to poor dental positioning after trauma. An 11-year-old female patient was sent to a dental specialty center with the complaint of a soft tissue growth in the place of an unerupted maxillary central incisor, causing her behavioral changes becoming more timid. After anamnesis and clinical examination it was noted that tooth 11 was in a vestibular position, covered with a hyperplastic lesion. Surgical treatment was performed and the histopathological exam revealed inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia. Over the course of the follow-up appointments, it was possible to observe improvement on the mentioned tooth and the patient’s satisfaction. In face of the low prevalence of inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, it is worth mentioning that the tooth positioning, outside its correct alignment in the arch, can cause repeated trauma to the mucosa, and then turning into etiological factor to inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, affecting even children and adolescents. Thus, the dentistry must be alert to establish a diagnosis and clinical treatment, in addition to monitoring these cases.

Recurrent Inflammation

Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare multisystem disease. It is characterized by recurrent inflammation of cartilaginous structures including the ears, nose, tracheo-bronchial tree and peripheral joints. Proteoglycan-rich structures such as the heart, eyes and blood vessels can also be affected. Systemic symptoms including fever, weight loss and lethargy are common. RP is difficult to diagnose as it presents in a wide variety of ways and there is no diagnostic test. Corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment but other immunosuppressive drugs can be used in combination with steroids. We present an unusual presentation of RP.
