Introduction: Recent studies in last few decades are revealing that Intelligence Quotient (IQ) alone is not a reliable factor of students’ academic achievement. It has been claimed that only 20% of a person’s success can be attributed to IQ and rest 80% to Emotional Quotient. Since, many researchers had claimed the influence of emotional intelligence on academic performance; the aims of this study were to find out the level of emotional intelligence and its relation with academic performance among Nepali undergraduate students. Methods: A cross sectional study was carried out in 280 medical students (120 male, 160 female). The data of this research was obtained through the use of a questionnaire which elicits information about their Emotional Intelligence level and academic performance. The obtained data was analyzed by SPSS. The degree of relationship between marks obtained and emotional intelligence were established by Correlation coefficient and Fischer exact test. The level of significance was set at p-value less than 0.05. Results: The mean level of emotional intelligence was high (5.055±0.798) among Nepalese medical students. The respondents were reported to have high level of emotional intelligence with (5.544±0.929) for Self- awareness, (5.035±1.01) for Social awareness, (5.394±1.11) for Social skill and moderate level of emotional intelligence (4.24±1.37) for Self-management. Conclusion: There was a positive and strong relationship between the respondents’ overall emotional intelligence and their academic achievement which means that the higher their level of emotional intelligence, the better they perform academically.

<p><em>Indonesian is the 4th largest country in the world whose in habitants suffer from gout. In Indonesian, it is estimated that uric acid occur in 840 people every 100,000 people. </em><em>Disease of gout is one of the degenerative disease. One of the signs of the disease gout is the increase in the levels of uric acid in the blood (hiperurisemia). Factors related to the incidence of hiperurisemia is sex, IMT, intake </em><em>carbohydrate s</em><em>and intake purin. Purin intake is a risk factor most strongly associated with the incidence of hiperurisemia. This study used a cross-sectional research design cross method i.e. research to study the dynamics of the correlation between two variables.

Introduction: Snakebite is a neglected tropical disease causing many deaths and serious consequences in Asia and Africa. Anti-snake Venom (ASV) is effective to prevent or reverse the venomous effects of snakebites. The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of venomous snakebites and factors associated with treatment outcomes in a district hospital of Western Terai in Nepal. Method: A single health facility-based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted with collection of information from the record section of Bhim Hospital, Rupandehi, Nepal. All snakebite cases treated during July 2013 to July 2018 were included. The data on prevalence of snakebite and treatment outcomes were analyzed. Fischer’s exact test and exact logistic regression were performed to identify factors associated with treatment outcomes of venomous snakebites. Result: The prevalence of venomous snakebites was 3.71% (163/4399). Among cases with complete information (N=120), two-third were cured, and one-fourth were referred. Median number of ASV vials used was 12. Age and ASV vials used showed significant positive moderate correlation (r=0.38, p-value<0.001). Year of treatment showed significant association with treatment outcomes. In multivariate analysis, though insignificant, higher adjusted odds of cure was present with one unit increase in ASV vial (AOR= 1.16) and when the bite was in extremities (upper extremities AOR = 11.46 and lower extremities AOR= 21.68). Conclusion: Snakebite cases require urgent management with administration of ASV, and proper recording of the cases in order to provide tangible evidence for policy and guideline formulation.

ABSTRACT Objective: to assess the functional levels of health literacy in individuals undergoing dialysis. Method: a cross-sectional study with 42 patients of the Nephrology Unit of a public hospital in Recife, Brazil, from May to August 2016. Data were collected through scripted interviews and chart analysis. Functional health literacy was measured using the Brazilian version of the Short-Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS®) software, version 18.0, with a univariate analysis to verify the association between independent variables and functional health literacy levels using Fisher's exact test. Results: 80.9% of the patients presented inadequate health literacy and 19.1% presented adequate health literacy. The number of correct answers remained between 0-18 in the reading comprehension and in the scheduling appointment card. Among the independent variables, only marital status (p-value=0.018) and personal income (p-value=0.009) were factors associated with the worst scores in the test, indicating that these variables influence the increase in inadequate literacy. Conclusion: the prevalence of inadequate functional literacy was high, reflecting difficulties in understanding and processing health information, which may interfere with therapeutic management and self-care.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to identify factors associated with the occurrence of falls among elderly adults in a population-based study (ISACamp 2008). Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study was carried out with two-stage cluster sampling. The sample was composed of 1,520 elderly adults living in the urban area of the city of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. The occurrence of falls was analyzed based on reports of the main accident occurred in the previous 12 months. Data on socioeconomic/demographic factors and adverse health conditions were tested for possible associations with the outcome. Prevalence ratios (PR) were estimated and adjusted for gender and age using the Poisson multiple regression analysis. Results: Falls were more frequent, after adjustment for gender and age, among female elderly participants (PR = 2.39; 95% confidence interval (95%CI) 1.47 - 3.87), elderly adults (80 years old and older) (PR = 2.50; 95%CI 1.61 - 3.88), widowed (PR = 1.74; 95%CI 1.04 - 2.89) and among elderly adults who had rheumatism/arthritis/arthrosis (PR = 1.58; 95%CI 1.00 - 2.48), osteoporosis (PR = 1.71; 95%CI 1.18 - 2.49), asthma/bronchitis/emphysema (PR = 1,73; 95%CI 1.09 - 2.74), headache (PR = 1.59; 95%CI 1.07 - 2.38), mental common disorder (PR = 1.72; 95%CI 1.12 - 2.64), dizziness (PR = 2.82; 95%CI 1.98 - 4.02), insomnia (PR = 1.75; 95%CI 1.16 - 2.65), use of multiple medications (five or more) (PR = 2.50; 95%CI 1.12 - 5.56) and use of cane/walker (PR = 2.16; 95%CI 1.19 - 3,93). Conclusion: The present study shows segments of the elderly population who are more prone to falls through the identification of factors associated with this outcome. The findings can contribute to the planning of public health policies and programs addressed to the prevention of falls.
