Poisoning is one of the most common reasons for visiting the emergency department in many countries, and the pattern varies from countries to countries and time to time. To compare the etiology and outcome of poisoning patients in different gender and age groups, we conducted a prospective study at the emergency departments of two medical centers in southern Taiwan between January 2001 and December 2002. All cases of poisoning, excluding patients diagnosed as cases of alcohol or food poisoning, were included, and relevant information was collected. There were 1512 cases of poisoning observed with a male to female ratio of 1:1.2 (684/828). Overall, drugs (49.9%) were the main agents involved, and a suicidal attempt (66.1%) was the predominant etiology. A total of 63 fatalities (4.2%) were observed and pesticides, especially paraquat, resulted in most fatalities. Patients aged 19–30 years constituted the most cases, and significant differences in exposure agents, causes, and fatality rates were found among different age and gender groups. The results are compatible with the trend reported by other Asian countries. This study also shows important differences existing in poisoning patients of different age and gender groups. Therefore, different poisoning-prevention strategies should be applied to different groups.

ABSTRACT Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) represents a hypersensitivity response to extramucosal fungi within the sinus cavity without evidence of tissue invasion. AFRS is characterized by fungal element with allergic mucin, Charcot-Leyden crystals, type I hypersensitivity, bony erosion with sinus infection on computed tomographic (CT) scan. Surgery remains the treatment of choice for AFRS followed by prolonged steroid therapy. Surgical approaches for frontal sinus disease can be either endonasal endoscopic or external. This is a nonrandomized prospective study, where the postoperative results of endoscopic frontal sinusotomy were compared with external frontoethmoidectomy approach. This is a nonrandomized prospective study, where the postoperative results of endoscopic frontal sinusotomy were compared with external frontoethmoidectomy approach. The comparison between external frontoethmoidectomy and endoscopic approach was done by using Chi-square test. There was no statistical significant difference found, when postoperatively clinical symptoms, radiology and investigations in patients of both the groups were compared. The success rate was 95.5% in group I and 91.1% after 6 months of follow-up. The world literature lacks prospective studies where attempts are made to compare the long-term results of both the surgical modalities for AFRS patients. Endoscopic endonasal approach has a distinct advantage over the external frontoethmoidectomy approach as it minimizes external scars over the face with almost equal or better long-term results.

ObjectiveTo assess a broad range of factors associated with pre-pregnancy nutritional status, a key step towards improving maternal and child health outcomes, in Ethiopia.DesignA baseline data analysis of a population-based prospective study.SettingKilite-Awlaelo Health and Demographic Surveillance Site, eastern zone of Tigray regional state, northern Ethiopia.ParticipantsWe used weight measurements of all 17 500 women of reproductive age living in the surveillance site between August 2017 and October 2017 as a baseline. Subsequently, 991 women who became pregnant were included consecutively at an average of 14.8 weeks (SD: 1.9 weeks) of gestation between February 2018 and September 2018. Eligible women were married, aged 18 years or older, with a pre-pregnancy weight measurement performed, and a gestational age ≤20 weeks at inclusion.Outcome measuresThe outcome measure was pre-pregnancy nutritional status assessed by body mass index (BMI) and mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC). Undernutrition was defined as BMI of <18.5 kg/m2 and/or MUAC of <21.0 cm. BMI was calculated using weight measured before pregnancy, and MUAC was measured at inclusion. Linear and spline regressions were used to identify factors associated with pre-pregnancy nutritional status as a continuous and Poisson regression with pre-pregnancy undernutrition as a dichotomous variable.ResultsThe mean pre-pregnancy BMI and MUAC were 19.7 kg/m2 (SD: 2.0 kg/m2) and 22.6 cm (SD: 1.9 cm), respectively. Overall, the prevalence of pre-pregnancy undernutrition was 36.2% based on BMI and/or MUAC. Lower age, not being from a model household, lower values of women empowerment score, food insecurity, lower dietary diversity, regular fasting and low agrobiodiversity showed significant associations with lower BMI and/or MUAC.ConclusionThe prevalence of pre-pregnancy undernutrition in our study population was very high. The pre-pregnancy nutritional status could be improved by advancing community awareness on dietary practice and gender equality, empowering females, raising agricultural productivity and strengthening health extension. Such changes require the coordinated efforts of concerned governmental bodies and religious leaders in the Ethiopian setting.
