Objective: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide. It is crucial to detect risk factors and behaviors throughout childhood and adolescence to advocate as a strategy to reduce risk of CVD in adulthood. The objective of this study was to assess the awareness and attitude regarding Cardiovascular Diseases among the Adolescents Studying in Grade 12 in Makawanpur Multiple Campus in Nepal. Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross sectional analytical study was conducted among 135 adolescents studying in grade 12 in Makwanpur Multiple Campus, Hetauda, Nepal. The selection of study site was done purposively. A structured self-developed questionnaire was used to assess the awareness on cardiovascular disease and five-point Likert scale to assess attitude regarding cardiovascular diseases were used. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20 was used for data analysis. Both descriptive (frequency, percentage, and mean) and inferential statistics (chi-square) were used to analyze the data. Results: Among 135 respondents, 17(12.6%) respondents had inadequate awareness, 52(38.5%) had moderate awareness and 66(48.9%) had adequate awareness. The mean awareness on cardiovascular disease was 11.90±2.83. Similarly more than half of respondents 69(51.1%) had favorable attitude toward cardiovascular disease. A statistically significant association between gender of the respondents and awareness level was found as Chi-square p value less than 0.05 (p=.011) at 5% level of significance. Similarly, statistically significant association between family history of CVD and attitude on cardiovascular disease was found at 5% level of significance (p value=.027). Conclusion: Nearly half of respondents had adequate level of awareness regarding cardiovascular diseases whereas more than half of respondents had favorable attitude toward cardiovascular disease. Key words: Adolescent, Attitude, Awareness, Cardiovascular Diseases.

Hypertension is one of the number one causes of death and disability in the world. Hypertension contributes nearly 9.4 million deaths from cardiovascular disease each year. Hypertension can cause undesirable effects, it needs good handling, one of them is by doing a hypertension diet. To carry out a hypertension diet requires knowledge, lack of knowledge can increase risk factors for hypertension. This study aims to determine the relationship of the level of knowledge about hypertension diet to the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at the Baloi Permai Public Health Center Batam City. This research method is an analytic observational with a cross-sectional approach conducted at the Baloi Permai Public Health Center Batam City 2018. Sampling technique is a total sampling with a sample of 64 people in 2018 determined by inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the study were analyzed with frequency distribution and then tested with the Chi-square test. Based on the results of this study indicate that of the 64 respondents found elderly who have a good level of knowledge are 41 people (64.1%), 48 people (75.0%) have an age range between 60-70 years. 27 people (42.2%) elderly have the last high school education and 40 people (62.5%) have jobs as entrepreneurs. Elderly people who have normal blood pressure are 40 people (62.5%), and those affected by hypertension are 24 people (37.5%). The elderly who have a family history of hypertension is 21 people (32.8%) and those who do not have a history of hypertension are 43 people (67.2%). Chi-Square Test analysis results show the significance value p = 0.009. This number is significant because the p-value is smaller than the significance level (α) ≤ 5% (0.05), so H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Therefore it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship about the level of knowledge about the hypertension diet to the incidence of hypertension in the elderly. From the results of this study it was concluded that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge about the hypertension diet and the incidence of hypertension in the elderly at the Baloi Permai Public Health Center Batam City in 2016.

Stunting is a children growth problem that occurs a result of chronic malnutrition in the first 1000 days of life. The indicator of stunting is using the height measurement according to age HFA (Height for Age) under -2 SD based on the WHO growth standard curve according to sex. The impacts of stunting are the occurrence of growth disorders, barriers to development and the risk of metabolic disorders in adulthood. One of the risk factors for stunting is history of quality and quantity Antenatal Care (ANC). This study aimed to determine the relationship between quality and quantity history of ANC visits and stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 years in Pujon District Malang Regency. The method used in this research was observational analytic by using cross-sectional design. The population of this study was all mothers who have children aged 24-59 months that were conducted in January 2020. Ninety eight respondents taken by purposive sampling as the sample of the research. The data was obtained by filling out questionnaires and KIA books, then analyzed with chi-square test (α = 0.05). The results showed that there was a significant relationship in quality (p-value = 0.004) and quantity (p-value = 0.003) toward stunting.

Background: Uterine synechiae refers to a total or partial union of the inner walls of the uterus resulting from endometrial trauma. It is a cause of reproductive failure. Until now, synechia was not optimally treated and has remained understudied in Cameroon. Objective of present study was to Evaluate the diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic aspects of uterine synechiae treated by hysteroscopy.Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study with an analytical component from January 1st 2015 to July 31st 2017 at Yaounde. All patients diagnosed with uterine synechiae and treated with hysteroscopy were our sample. Sampling was consecutive. The chi-square test was used for the comparison of qualitative variables and Fisher's test for ANOVA variance analysis. The comparison of the averages was made by the Student's test. P-value less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.Results: Hysteroscopies were indicated for uterine synechiae in 14.50%. Nulliparous were 56.67%. A history of curettage/aspiration was present in 66.66%. All of the patients had a form of infertility and 83.33% had menstrual disorders. Hysterosalpingography showed a better sensitivity (88%). After hysteroscopic treatment, 63.30% had a complete anatomical restitution. There is a significant correlation between the stage of severity of synechia and anatomical restitution (p=0.008; Spearman correlation coefficient=-0.477).Conclusions: Uterine synechiae represent one-sixth of all indications for hysteroscopy and present clinically as menstrual disorder associated with infertility. A past history of uterine curettage is common. Hysterosalpingography has a better preoperative diagnostic sensitivity. Hysteroscopy allows optimal treatment.

Background: Cardiovascular relative risk (CVRISK) is the latest cardiovascular relative risk score to evaluate the magnitude of cardiovascular risk in healthy people regardless of age and cardiovascular risk severity. The aim of the study is to determine the correlation between each independent variables of CVRISK score in individuals with and without history of cardiovascular diseases (CVD).Methods: The study design is cross-sectional study. We conducted it online through social media using Google forms from June to August 2020. Participants include all productive age groups from 16 to 60 years. The data were processed using excel and statistically tested. Descriptive data analysis uses tabulated data which is displayed in numbers or proportions (categorical) and single data distribution (numeric). Statistical association analysis uses the categorical-correlation test with 2 statistical tests that use eta on nominal-ordinal variables and contingency coefficients on nominal-nominal variables.Results: There is a strong autocorrelation between hypertension and high tryglyceride levels (p value 0.001; correlation 0.549; risks 30.14%), nutritional status and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in CVD group (p value 0.002; correlation 0.774; risks 59.90%) and non-CVD group (p value 0.000; correlation 0.757; risks 57.3%). Hypertension and risky LDL-C levels firmly proves a very strong correlations and significant relationship in CVD groups (p value 0.014; correlation 0.947; risks 89.68%).Conclusions: There is a correlation that varies from weak to very strong among the independent variables in the CVRISK scoring of the participants. Further research is needed to determine the potentiality of CVRISK as an early prevention in determining the cardiovascular risk of individuals with and without history of CVD.

Background: Migraine is one of the most common types of headache; it is a chronic neurological disease that affects 15% of the population, however, information about its prevalence in Sudan is scarce. Aim: The aim of this study was to study prevalence of migraine and trigger factors among adult rural Sudanese population in 2018. Setting and Design: This is a cross sectional two-stage door-to-door community-based study conducted in 16 administrative areas in rural Sudan. Materials and Methods: A sample of 8610 adult Sudanese individuals, 18 years and above was selected. A structured pretested questionnaire was used included questions about two or more headaches in the last three months for screening. Participants with at least one positive response were asked to perform the 3-item validated Identification of Migraine (ID Migraine) test. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 20 for descriptive statistics and one way chi square test was used for testing the association of triggering factors with migraine at 95% confidence level of significant. Results:  Four hundred and sixty eight had migraine with a prevalence rate of 5.4% among 8610 study population. The prevalence of migraine was 40% among those having at least two episodes of headache. Females were significantly affected by migraine more than males, P- value 0.044. Migraine significantly decreases with increase in age showed the highest frequency among the age group 18-29 years (38.0%). Family history of migraine accounted to 83.4% of population with migraine. Population with migraine who experienced aura was 64.5%. Already diagnosed population with migraine was 38.9%.The most important triggering factors among population with migraine were irregular/lack of sleep followed by stress/anxiety, noise and fatigue/physical activity, 91.0%, 88.0%, 85.7% and 84.6% respectively. The females experienced migraine with menstruation accounted to 46.7%. Perceived migraine effect was moderate to severe on work/ daily activities/ leisure of 78.2% of population with migraine. Conclusion: Migraine prevalence was alarming in this study. A gap exists in the diagnosis of migraine that needs efforts to reduce the sufferings of affected population.

Introduction: To determine the clinical types and etiological factors and to assess the biochemical abnormalities in neonates with seizure. Materials and Methods: This was a Cross-sectional, comparative hospital based study. Ninety neonates, age up to 28 days of both sexes were evaluated for clinical types, etiological factors and biochemical abnormalities with seizure and compared with those having no seizures. The variables were analyzed using student t- test. All the data was processed and analyzed by computer software SPSS version 15.0. Level of significance was considered as p value less than 0.05. Results: Most of the neonates having seizures (72%) within 3 days of life. The seizures were common in male babies (62%). 35% of the mother of baby with seizure gave history of prolonged labour. HIE was diagnosed 56.67% neonates with seizure whereas infection were found in 25% cases with seizure. Among the seizure subtypes, subtle seizures were 58% followed by clonic seizures 30%. Significant biochemical changes we found in 43.34% of neonates with seizures. Hypocalcemia (46%) was most common followed by hypoglycemia(38%). Conclusion: Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy was the commonest cause of neonatal seizure followed by neonatal infections including meningitis and sepsis.. Biochemical abnormalities are more common in neonates with seizure than neonates free from seizure. Among the biochemical abnormalities hypocalcaemia and hypoglycemia occurs most commonly followed by hyponatraemia and hypomagnesaemia. Medicine Today 2020 Vol.32(1): 37-41
