Title- The study of Quadriceps angle with correlation of Height in North Indian Adult Human Population. Objective- The objective of the study is to establish the bilateral inconsistency in the mean Q- angle (Quadriceps angle) value in both male and female. This study is to examine the correlation between Q- angle (quadriceps angle) values and the Body height. Background- Before taking the measurement, the persons were positioned such that the hips and knees were in extension, the quadriceps muscles were relaxed, and the legs and ankles were neutral. Following marking, one of the arms of the manual goniometric was placed such that the ASIS and the patellar middle point were combined, and the other arm was placed so that the tuberose as tibia and the patellar centre were collective. The measurement value was recorded after the manual goniometry was placed. Subjects- The present study was done on 500 adult subjects (300 male and 200 female) of north Indian origin. Methods- The Q angle is measured with a full circle universal manual goniometry which is made of clear steel with the subject standing in the erect weight-bearing position. Result- The dimension of Quadriceps angle values in males from right side (mean 13.25) and from left side (mean 13.41) , the Q- angle values in females from right side (mean 16.97) and from left side (mean 16.35) (P<0.0001). The result shows that the Q- angle was more prominent in females than in males. The variation of Q-angle with dominant side revealed that left side of Q- angle (both males and females) was more often greater than right side. Conclusion and Discussion- The Quadriceps angle value of both males and females decreases with increases in body height which shows a positive correlation with body height. Positive correlation exists between Quadriceps angle and Body height.

In this study was to investigate the relationship between psychological aspects of physical activity, dietary habits, nutritional diversity, personality disorders, smoking habits, and sleep issues among psychiatric patients at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Dhaka City, Bangladesh. A questionnaire was utilized to collect data from 140 psychiatric patients, consisting of 57 males and 83 females. The questionnaire included demographic information on age, gender, religion, educational background, family income level, husband/wife occupation, smoking habits, physical activity patterns, and socioeconomic status. The study found that 34% of the respondents had the highest intake of carbohydrates, while 21.4% consumed more protein and 38.6% of respondents consumed the highest amount of green vegetables as vitamins daily. Additionally, it was observed that about 45% of the participants engaged in physical activity, with walking being the primary form of activity. Of these respondents, 33.4% engaged in physical activity for less than 30 minutes, while 48.3% and 18.3% engaged in activity for 30-60 minutes and 1-3 hours, respectively. The study also revealed that 86 respondents had sleeping difficulties, while 54 respondents did not. Furthermore, 54% of the respondents attempted suicide, with the majority being students. The findings suggest that adequate sleep is not only beneficial for physical fitness but also mental health. The study also revealed that most respondents had insufficient knowledge about nutrition, particularly those who were illiterate. Overall in this study provides insight into the lifestyle factors affecting mental health among psychiatric patients in Bangladesh. The results suggest that physical activity, dietary habits, and sleep issues are linked to mental health outcomes and should be considered in the development of interventions and programs aimed at improving mental health outcomes in this population.

Background: A skin condition known as vitiligo is an advanced depigmentation of the skin that is characterized by the development of depigmented macules that cause significant social and psychological distress. Although there are various therapy options available, vitiligo management is still a therapeutic challenge for many dermatologists. Topical calcineurin inhibitors, ultraviolet B phototherapy, and topical steroids are examples of conservative treatments. Objective: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of tacrolimus monotherapy and narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy (NB-UVB) for treating vitiligo. Materials and Methods: :For a period of two years, 100 vitiligo patients who presented to the dermatology outpatient department of the first Dali university associated hospital underwent a prospective and comparative study (from 2018-1-1 to 2019-12-31). All of the participants in this study met the inclusion and exclusion criteria after receiving the necessary ethical approval. According to the vitiligo data Proforma, demographic information was checked during the initial appointment. All individuals with vitiligo underwent a complete clinical and dermatological examination of their condition. The associated laboratory tests were all finished. It was assessed how much of the body's surface area is affected by vitiligo. On the basis of their course of therapy, patients were divided into two groups at random. Tacrolimus ointment was applied topically to 50 patients in group A twice daily. 50 patients in group B received topical medication three times per week in addition to NB-UVB phototherapy. The VASI (Vitiligo Area Severity Index) was used to compare the effectiveness of the two groups from the beginning of the trial to its conclusion. Global ratings from both patients and physicians were calculated as part of the study's secondary efficacy measure. Software called SPSS 23.0 was used to do the statistical analysis. At p 0.05, the difference was statistically significant. Results: After 12 months of treatment, topical treatment alone outperformed Narrow Band UVB in terms of overall effectiveness. Patients treated with narrow band UVB plus topical treatment have earlier repigmentation response to lesions in the face, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs than those treated with topical treatment alone. When comparing the trunk, face, upper, and lower limbs for both types of therapies, lesions in the hands and feet require a lengthier course of treatment. Conclusion: Narrow band UVB along with TCI is of higher efficacy, better tolerated and superior to TCI monotherapy in the treatment of vitiligo. There was a statistically significant reduction in percentage of VASI p= with Narrow Band UVB along with TCI group when compared to TCI mono therapy alone.

Medicinal plants have always been considered a healthy source of life for all people. In Mongolia, the use of various medicinal and food plants has a long history. In recent years, interest in plant-derived food additives has grown. This study was designed to determine essential oil chemical composition and evaluate antioxidant, cytotoxic activities of aerial parts serial fractions from Artemisia frigida Willd. grown in Mongolia. The chemical composition of essential oil from A.frigida Willd. was determined by GC-MS analysis. Among them 40 components (35.07%), 1,8-cineol (27.22%), borneol (3.01%), terpin-4-ol (4.51%), γ-cadinene (7.5%), α-terpineol (2.98%), bornylacetate (1.80%) were found to be the major ones. The ethanol crude extract of A.frigida Willd. was suspended in water and consequently fractionated with n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and butyl alcohol. All the fractions were examined for their antioxidant and cytotoxic activities by using DPPH and MTT assays, respectively. Ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity at a concentration of 50 µg/ml by 93.17% with the IC50 value of 11.68 µg/ml. MTT results showed that water fraction demonstrated significant cytotoxicity against A549 - human alveolar basal epithelial cell line, with values of 78.69 and 60.98% (50; 10 µg/ml; at 48 h). These suggest that the fractions of A.frigida Willd. could hold a good potential for use in the pharmaceutical industry.

This study investigated the inner and outer intercanthal distances in a Nigeria population. Materials and Methods: The cross sectional study was carried on 384 adults (males and females) between the ages of 18-35years. This study was carried in Abraka, Delta State, Nigeria. A pair of digital venier calipers was used to carry out anthropometric measurement of the inner and outer intercanthal distances measured between the medial and lateral ends of the palpebral fissures respectively.The canthal index (CI) was calculated as [ICD x 100]/OCD. Simple descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated from the data obtained. Gender and age differences were scrutinized using the students’ t-test and correlation respectively. P value <0.05 was accepted as significant difference. Results: The mean canthal dimensions for the Nigerian population was inner-canthal distance (38.65±1.49mm), outer-canthal distance (76.25±4.03mm), and canthal index (50.85±3.50). According to gender, inner-canthal distance was 39.15±1.44mm and 38.15±1.38mm, outer-canthal distance was 76.59±4.13mm and 75.89±3.91mm, and canthal index was 51.26±3.46 and 50.41±3.52 for male and female respectively. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the inner-canthal distance and canthal index between male and female. There was insignificant correlation between: age and inner-canthal distance (r= 0.082, p= 0.108), age and outer-canthal distance (r= -0.024, p= 0.641), and age and canthal index (r= 0.064, p=0.213). Conclusion: Sexual dimorphism occurred as the inner canthal distance and canthal index were significantly higher in males compared to females in the Nigerian population.

According to gender, inner-canthal distance was 39.15±1.44mm and 38.15±1.38mm, outer-canthal distance was 76.59±4.13mm and 75.89±3.91mm, and canthal index was 51.26±3.46 and 50.41±3.52 for male and female respectively. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the inner-canthal distance and canthal index between male and female. There was insignificant correlation between: age and inner-canthal distance (r= 0.082, p= 0.108), age and outer-canthal distance (r= -0.024, p= 0.641), and age and canthal index (r= 0.064, p=0.213). Conclusion: Sexual dimorphism occurred as the inner canthal distance and canthal index were significantly higher in males compared to females in the Nigerian population.","PeriodicalId":122699,"journal":{"name":"EPH - International Journal of Medical and Health Science","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134212882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Background: The management of gastric cancer is a major challenge in low-income countries. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects of gastric cancer in the Visceral Surgery ward of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Joseph Ravoahangy Andrianavalona in Antananarivo.Materials and Method: This was a descriptive retrospective study conducted from January 2010 to December 2016. All patients over 18 years of age hospitalized for gastric cancer with histological confirmation were included in the study. The epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic methods were analyzed. Outcome assessment will not be the subject of this study.Results: Gastric cancer was confirmed in 68 patients. The average age was 56.5. Helicobacter pylori infection was the main risk factor. Gastrointestinal bleeding and chronic epigastric pain were the most revealing clinical manifestations. Ulcerous and exuberant gastric injuries were the most frequent, preferentially located in the pyloric antrum (n = 38). Surgery was curative in 24 patients, palliative in 13 patients. Four patients received primary chemotherapy and 27 refused to continue treatment when the diagnosis was announced. Papillary adenocarcinoma was the most common histological type (n = 32).Conclusion: gastric cancer is discovered at an advanced stage in our center. Currently, all age groups are exposed to risk factors. Endoscopic screening and eradication of Helicobacter Pylori infection should be mandatory. Multidisciplinarity is essential in the management.
