Cancer Symptoms

Introduction: Breast cancer is considered the primary cancer to affect women according to the global context. Due to its crucial escalation, it has become vital to inform the general population regarding breast cancer symptoms, risk factors and earlier detection methods. The main aim of the present study is to conduct a systematic review of breast cancer and the risk factors affecting young adult women. Methods: A systematic literature review was carried out to garner global studies on breast cancer risk factors as well as to understand the degree to which breast cancer and its associated risk factors are understood. The primary study included the exploration of databases and journal websites, PubMed, Google Scholar and Medline. The articles studied for the review was focused on the printed original English articles from the year 2008 to December, 2017. This review highlights the necessity for further studies regarding knowledge of breast cancer and its risk factors among young adult women are understood. Conclusion: Knowledge about breast cancer and its risk factors among young women was inadequate. Furthermore, cultural sensitivities should be adjusted to ensure optimal awareness among the public, in particular teenagers and young adult women. Intensive educational campaigns should be planned to increase breast cancer awareness in order to minimize the observed deficit of knowledge. The role of prevention and procedures to screen breast examinations in clinics as well as mammography should all be highlighted in order to achieve these goals and obtain the required data.

Western Algeria

Background: The frequency of patients developing Breast Cancer (BC) among all other types of cancers exceeds 35% in Western Algeria. The main objective here was to determine which risk factors were associated with this high frequency of BC occurrence in young adult women (<40 years old) in Western Algeria. Methods: A BC case-control study matching with the woman age was conducted. The total number of participants was 484 women from Western Algeria. Inclusion criteria were BC and age <40 and women older than 40 or without documented BC were excluded. Results: Univariable analysis showed that i) there was an increased risk of BC; OR = 1.77 [1.06 to 2.93] in married women using oral contraception drugs; ii) in contrast there was a lesser risk; OR = 0.43 [0.28 to 0.65] of BC in multiparous compared to nulliparous women; iii) similarly there was a lesser risk; OR = 0.45 [0.26 to 0.76] of BC in married, divorced and widowed women compared to single women. Multivariable analysis showed a higher risk; OR = 2.34 [1.05 to 5.22] of BC in non-breastfeeding than lactating women. Conclusion: The use of oral contraception drugs, nulliparity, lack of breastfeeding and the single unmarried status are risk factors associated with increased BC in young adult women (<40) from Western Algeria.

SUMMARYA total of 292 children's sera and 706 antenatal sera from different parts of England were tested for the presence of poliovirus neutralizing antibodies. Little variation was found between different areas and types of community, but a lower proportion of the 5–14 year old children had antibody than younger children and young adult women. The proportion of the young population with antibody, and the current acceptance rates for oral poliovirus vaccine are barely satisfactory.

Non Communicable Diseases

Introduction: In India, due to high rates of urbanization and economic improvement, there is a shift in disease spectrum from communicable to non-communicable diseases. Non-communicable disease contributes to around 5.87 million (60%) of all deaths in India. The level of exposure and vulnerability to non-communicable diseases is more in women than men. The present study was done in a community setting to identify the prevalence and distribution of risk factors for common non-communicable diseases among young adult women. Aim & Objective: To study prevalence of risk factors of common non-communicable diseases in young adult women. Settings and Design: A community-based cross-sectional study conducted in Palam Village of New Delhi. Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study conducted in Palam Village of New Delhi. A total of 585 study subjects were interviewed using a self-designed, semi-structured, pre-designed questionnaire. Waist circumference, blood pressure and weight was measured using non-stretchable measuring tape, digital blood pressure apparatus and digital weighing scale respectively. Results: Half of the study subjects were moderately active. Most of the participants have unhealthy dietary habits. Around 2/3rd of the study subjects were taking inadequate servings of fruits and vegetables, and almost half of them were consuming salt more than the recommended levels. Conclusion: High-risk factors of common non-communicable diseases among young adult women are seen in Palam Village, New Delhi. To prevent further increase in burden of noncommunicable diseases and to lower their serious consequences, prevention and control interventions must be implemented at individual, population and program level.
