Gallstone disease and its complications are a major public health issue, equally affecting both the developed and the developing countries across the globe. The unmodiable risk factors are universally same. The modiable risk factors however, can vary from place to place depending upon social customs, lifestyle, food habits and preferences. This justies the need for regional studies to look for association of risk factors that can precipitate gallstone disease so that preventive programmes can be undertaken to reduce its incidence. The project was an institution-based observational cross-sectional study on 96 subjects to look for the risk factors associated with gallstone formation. The patients were chosen using simple random sampling technique as per the pre-decided inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data was collected through a pre-designed and pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. For all the tests for the study, a p-value of < 0.05 was considered signicant. All the statistical signicance of the project was evaluated at a condence interval of 95%. Based on the objective of the study, further descriptive and inferential statistics was drawn. Our study showed a strong association between gallstone disease and the time elapsed between waking up in the morning and taking breakfast, with 88 subjects (91.66%) out of the possible 96 taking their breakfast over 2 hours (120 minutes) after waking up. Thus reduction in overnight fasting by advising people to take their breakfast within 2 hours (120 minutes) of waking up, can bring down the incidence of gallstone disease signicantly. Thus we propose awareness programmes to highlight this issue amongst the population at risk.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of acute hepatitis worldwide. In France, hyperendemic areas including Corsica have an anti-HEV Immunoglobulin G (IgG) prevalence higher than 50%. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of anti-HEV IgG in three adult populations in Corsica and the risk factors associated with antibody detection. Between 2017 and 2019, a total of 930 individuals, including 467 blood donors, 393 students or university staff members and 70 patients from general practice, were tested for the presence of anti-HEV IgG using the Wantai HEV IgG enzyme immunoassay kit and filled a questionnaire. The association between seropositivity and potential risk factors was tested with univariate and multivariate analyses. Out of the 930 samples, 52.3% (486/930) were seropositive—54.4% (254/467) among blood donors, 47.6% (187/393) among university students and 64.3% (45/70) among patients of general practice. Three main risk factors were identified: (i) skinning and butchering (Adjusted Odds Ratio aOR = 2.76, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] [1.51–5.37]; p-value < 10−3), (ii) consumption of a local pork live raw sausage (fittonu) (aOR = 1.95 95% CI [1.45–2.64]; p-value = 10−5), and (iii) increasing age (p-value = 0.003). Seropositivity rates between the different populations were homogeneous after age stratification. This cross-sectional study indicates a high anti-HEV IgG seroprevalence in the Corsican adult population, not significantly different between women and men and increasing with age. This serosurvey also showed homogeneity regarding the exposure to HEV among three different types of populations. Finally, we confirmed the endemicity of Corsica with respect to HEV and identified a strong association between consumption of figatellu/fittonu and the practice of skinning and butchering with the detection of anti-HEV IgG.

Background: Present study highlights that the worldwide trend of declining age at menarche is also seen in urban Indian girls. The aim of the study was to evaluate the age of menarche and to find out the factors associated with the timing of menarche.Methods: The study was an observational cross sectional study. 258 healthy, menstruating, adolescent girls aged 10-16 years, were selected by simple random sampling. Pre-designed structured questionnaires were distributed after taking informed consent. Anthropometric measurements were taken using standard techniques. The average age of menarche was calculated. The association of the age at menarche with the proposed factors was analyzed using chi square test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. “P value” less than 0.05 was considered as significant.Results: The mean age at menarche was found to be 12.23±1.09 years. The study found a strong association between the respondent’s age at menarche and her sister’s age at menarche (p=0.002). The study also found a strong association between age at menarche and the socioeconomic status (p=0.021). This study however found no association of menarcheal age with factors like birth weight, type of diet, frequency of milk intake, body mass index, waist hip ratio, amount of exercise, unstable environment at home and psychosocial stress.Conclusions: The worldwide trend of declining age at menarche is also seen in urban Indian girls. This trend underlines the importance of investigating the factors associated with it and studying the future implications of a lower age at menarche.

Immunization has proven to be one of the most important public health efforts. Immunization programs shown remarkable success funds are a very cost-effective effort in preventing infectious diseases. Immunization is influenced by several factors, including knowledge level, mother’s age, education level, occupation, number of children and family support. This aims to analyze the Relationship of Family Support with the completeness of Basic Immunization Balita in Village Mumbulsari of Sub-districts Mumbulsari - Jember. In 2015, East Java accounted for the largest diphtheria cases (63%) and has not met the target of SPM (Minimum Service Standards). According to the health profile of jember district 2014 Of 49 health centers, there are 4 other health centers that have not reached the target of UCI are Kalisat health center (92%), Pakusari (86%), Bangsalsari (86%) and Mumbulsari (75%). This research design use correctional with Cross Sectional approach.Population 90 mothers who have children under the age of two years.After slovin formula obtained 73 respondents as sample by using simple random sampling technique. The result showed Basic Immunization of complete 53 (73%) and Basic Immunization of  incomplete 20(27%), good family support 58(79,5%),  less family support 15 (20,5%). Data analysis test using Spearman Rank with p-value 0,000 <α 0,05 which means there is a Family Support Relationship with Basic Immunization Equipment Balita. It is recommended that the next community who have a child under two years give family good support to basic immunization for granting mothers complete.
