Side effects of rubella immunisation in teenage girls

AbstractAimTo investigate how acceptable and feasible a school-based contraceptive clinic (SBCC) would be in a low-income South African community.BackgroundTeenage pregnancy is an important issue in South Africa, with significant health and social consequences. Issues regarding lack of confidentiality in an intimate community, unwelcoming health workers, long distances to clinics and perceptions of contraceptive side effects may all inhibit contraceptive use by adolescents. Although SBCC has been initiated and investigated in other countries, this approach is inadequately researched in South Africa.MethodsA mixed method study was conducted to assess the attitudes of one community towards establishment of an SBCC in their area. Methods of data collection included: focus group discussions (FGDs) with teenage girls from a local high school; a key informant interview with the school principal; a structured survey, including open-ended questionnaires with randomly selected parents of teenage girls from the same community; and a documentary analysis to explore relevant legal and policy considerations.FindingsTeenage girls, the school principal and parents with teenage daughters largely supported the idea of an SBCC, but with concerns about confidentiality, the possibility of increased promiscuity and contraceptive side effects. While legal statutes and policies in South Africa do not pose any barriers to the establishment of an SBCC, some logistical barriers remain.

AbstractPremenstrual Syndrome (PMS) appears 7-10 days before the menstrual period and can cause an uncomfortable feeling and pain with mild to severe symptoms that eventually can disturb the activities and quality of life of teenage girls. Prolonged use of chemical medication can cause several side effects. However, there is the option to use complementary therapy, such as Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress, which is considered to be safer than chemical medication and has no side effects. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress in reducing PMS in teenage girls. This research is a quasi experimental, pretest and posttest with control group design. Consecutive sampling was used to generate 68 respondents from teenage girls who were then divided into two groups - the intervention group that was given Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress and the control group who did not receive the intervention. The bivariate analysis in the experimental group after the intervention, using the Cochran test, showed that the Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress is effective in reducing PMS amongst teenage girls (p=0,000 < ? = 0,05). Another analysis using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test showed that there is a difference in the level of PMS between the experimental and the control group (p=0,002 < ? = 0,05). It is therefore recommended that Cananga aromatherapy with a warm compress be used as a complementary therapy to reduce PMS amongst teenage girls. Key words: Premenstrual Syndrome; PMS, Cananga Aromatherapy; Warm Compress; Teenage Girls

Cisplatin (cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II)) a potent antitumor agent is now available for the treatment of testicular and ovarian cancers. It is however, not free from its serious side effects including nephrotoxicity, gastro intestinal toxicity, myelosuppression, and ototoxicity. Here we now report that the drug produces peculiar bloating of the stomach in rats and induces acute ulceration.Wistar-derived rats weighing 200-250 g were administered cisplatin(9 mg/kg) ip as a single dose in 0.15 M NaCl. After 3 days the animals were sacrificed by decapitation. The stomachs were removed, the contents analyzed for pepsin and acidity. The inner surface was examined with a dissecting microscope after a moderate stretching for ulcers. Affected areas were fixed and processed for routine electron microscopy and enzyme cytochemistry.The drug treated animals kept on food and water consistently showed bloating and lesions (Fig. 1) with a frequency of 6-70 ulcers in the rumen section of the stomachs.

Antineoplastic Drugs

Cisplatin (CDDP) is currently one of the most valuable antineoplastic drugs available. However, it has severe toxic side effects of which nephrotoxicity is the major dose limiting factor in its use. It induces morphological changes in the kidney with hampered urine output. The present study is an effort to determine the influence of the drug on the neurohypophysis for any antidiuretic effects on the kidney.

Surgical Treatments

Severe drooling is associated with discomfort and psychosocial problems and may constitute a health risk. A variety of different surgical and non-surgical treatments have been used to diminish drooling, some of them with little or uncertain effect and others more effective but irreversible or with side effects. Based on clinical evidence, injection with botulinum toxin (BTX) into the parotid and submandibular glands is a useful treatment option, because it is local, reversible, and with few side effects, although it has to be repeated. The mechanism of BTX is a local inhibition of acetylcholine release, which diminishes receptor-coupled secretion and results in a flow rate reduction of 25–50% for 2–7 months.
