Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to profile patients who undergo defecography, by age and gender, as well as to describe the main imaging and diagnostic findings in this population. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive study of 39 patients, conducted between January 2012 and February 2014. The patients were evaluated in terms of age, gender, and diagnosis. They were stratified by age, and continuous variables are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. All possible quantitative defecography variables were evaluated, including rectal evacuation, perineal descent, and measures of the anal canal. Results: The majority (95%) of the patients were female. Patient ages ranged from 18 to 82 years (mean age, 52 ± 13 years): 10 patients were under 40 years of age; 18 were between 40 and 60 years of age; and 11 were over 60 years of age. All 39 of the patients evaluated had abnormal radiological findings. The most prevalent diagnoses were rectocele (in 77%) and enterocele (in 38%). Less prevalent diagnoses were vaginal prolapse, uterine prolapse, and Meckel's diverticulum (in 2%, for all). Conclusion: Although defecography is performed more often in women, both genders can benefit from the test. Defecography can be performed in order to detect complex disorders such as uterine and rectal prolapse, as well as to detect basic clinical conditions such as rectocele or enterocele.

Family caregivers are vital to telehealth-delivered dementia care. The objective of this mixed methods descriptive study conducted in the VA Bedford Healthcare System was to examine caregiver satisfaction with a video telehealth dementia home safety occupational therapy evaluation. Ten caregivers of Veterans with dementia participated. Ratings of caregiver satisfaction, measured by nine Likert scale items including ability to see and hear, were examined in relation to person and visit-related contextual factors extracted from RA field notes, to develop an in-depth understanding of caregiver experience. Person factors included caregiver age and gender and Veteran cognitive status. Visit-related contextual factors included occurrence  of technical glitches. Caregiver visit satisfaction was overall positive, with exceptions related to technological glitches and the presence of the person with dementia during the visit. Veteran cognitive status appeared to influence caregiver satisfaction. Implications of the study are that proactively addressing technical glitches and incorporating dementia stage-specific approaches may optimize caregivers’ telehealth experience.

The SARS-COV2 Pandemic has required the emergency departments to focus their attention and care to COVID-19-diagnosed patients over patients with other pathologies. Descriptive study of patients attended in the resuscitation room between 1st of March and 31st May 2019 and compared to the same period in 2020. We include all the patients attended were included in the study and their clinical variables evaluated and their diagnosis at discharge. Six hundred and fifty-nine patients were attended in 2019 and 384 in 2020. There were no differences between age and gender. In 2019, 83.2% of the cases attended had a cardiac pathology, followed by neurological pathology and traffic accidents. This data is also significant since in the same period of 2020 cardiac pathology fell to 8.3%. The COVID pandemic has reduced patients attended at resuscitation room, and especially cardiovascular ones. These are preliminary results and more studies should be done to confirm or to study this trend.

Background: Helicobacter pylori plays an important role in management of dyspepsia, as well as being a known carcinogenic risk factor. It is ubiquitously present in community to the extent of 50-80% in different studies depending upon the sampling from an urban area or a rural area, as well as socio-economic factors, as also the fact it is a risk factor for carcinoma in elderly age group and Peptic ulcer disease in relatively younger population. The study aimed at studying demographic profile in terms of the age and gender of patients, ascertaining its correlation with H. pylori.Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study based on the upper GI endoscopies carried out in the institution. The period covered was from 01 January 2018 to 31 December 2018. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were well defined. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS Version 16.0 Chi-Square was applied.Results: This is a retrospective descriptive study based on the upper GI endoscopies carried out in the institution. The period covered was from 01 Jan 2018 to 31 Dec 2018. The inclusion and exclusion criteria were well defined. Statistical Analysis was carried out using SPSS Version 16.0 Chi-Square was applied.Conclusions: The study confirms the relationship of age and gender with presence or absence of H. pylori infection.

Malaria in Asia is thought to be grossly under-reported and this is evident from previously published statistics from Bangladesh. Malaria screening data from four Upazillas was analysed alongside census data to assess the trends in malaria incidence over time and distribution of malaria by age and gender. Malaria incidence in this area has decreased by around two thirds since 2003, although control measures were not significantly increased until 2005.  Malaria occurred in people of all ages with the highest incidence being in young adults. This is consistent with higher occupational exposure in this group. The probability of being screened for malaria decreased with age suggesting significant numbers of adults with malaria may be being missed.Keywords: Bangladesh; MalariaOnline: 29-1-2009DOI: 10.3329/bmrcb.v34i3.1757Bangladesh Med Res Counc Bull 2008; 34: 87-89

Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the population ≥65 years. The main findings are tremor, stiffness, bradykinesia/akinesia and postural instability. The objective is to assess the epidemiology of parkinson’s in Brazil, according to age and gender, over a 5-year period. Methods: Ecological and descriptive study. The data collection for this study was based on results obtained through the Health Information (TABNET) and the SUS Hospital Information System (SIH / SUS) in the period from 2016 to 2020. Results: 4,637 hospitalizations were recorded, with the Southeast being the most prevalent region, with 2,210 cases (47.66%), followed by the South, with 1,292 cases (27.86%). There was a predominance of males, with 2,767 cases (59.67% of total cases). The most affected age group was between 70 and 79 years old, with 1,220 cases (26.31%). From 2016 to 2020 there was a 41.42% decline in the number of hospitalizations, with 2016 being the year with the highest records, with 1,154 cases. 2020 was the least incident year, with 676 hospitalizations. Conclusion: The profile of hospitalizations in Brazil was given by a male figure between 70 and 79 years old, and from the Southeast. Taking into account the decrease in almost 50% of admissions for PD, it is assumed that effective measures and policies are being taken in the atention and care of this population, providing a better quality of life for the affected individuals. Evidencing the importance of primary care in prevention and the general health.
