Health information is a foundational component of public healthcare education that is intended to promote individual and community health, prevent diseases and optimize treatment outcomes for patients. Generally, health information assist people make healthcare decisions, adjust lifestyle and promote self-care. Health information needs within the community is less well studies in Nigeria, so this study aims to explore the needs for health information within an urban community. This was a cross sectional questionnaire based survey study among randomly selected adults (≥ 18 years). Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as Chi square to determine association between demographic variables and health information needs. P values ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The results showed that about half of respondents expressed their need for information related to sexual/reproductive health, childhood diseases, vaccination, identification of disease symptoms and how to participate in the medical decision making process. There was significant association between demographic variables and the need for health information. There was diversity of health information needs which reflected the desire to participate in many aspects of healthcare through access to relevant and accurate information. This will provide opportunity for pharmacists to deepen their involvement in providing health information in the course of pharmaceutical care services. Health information needs of the community was largely unmet by the cadre of health workers providing them. It’s therefore important that Pharmacists at the community level step up to fill this huge information gap as part of value added services to the public

Blended learning became increasingly popular particularly with the introduction of COVID-19 which posed a significant issue in the field of education. Because schools in the Philippines were closed, instructors' pedagogies evolved into remote learning modalities in various forms and platforms and blended learning was introduced. Confronted with such scenario, the purpose of this study was to look at the English teachers' blended learning teaching skills at Angono National High School which served as the foundation for the School Learning Action Cell, or SLAC. Particularly, it aimed to investigate the English teachers’ level of blended learning teaching competencies with respect to online integration, data practices, and personalization by applying the descriptive type of research. Participants of this study were ten (10) Senior High School teachers of Angono National High School who were teaching English for the School Year 2021-2022. Findings of the study connotes that demographic profile of the respondents are not significant thus this failed to reject the hypothesis. Based on the findings, the paper concludes that planning and preparation are the keys in providing effective blended learning teaching. Moreover, in expectations for blended learning, student involvement should be clearly communicated and structured to complement the blended learning mode. Still, as a work in progress, this study suggests future investigation in a different location and the use of other factors in teaching competences in blended learning.

Background: Tramadol hydrochloride, synthetic centrally acting opioid analgesics is being widely used throughout the world. In many Middle East countries, tramadol abuse was raised as a major public health issue. This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of tramadol use and abuse among Saudi patients living in Al-Ahsa region, the risk factors associated with tramadol use/ abuse. Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional chart review study which was conducted at a single center, King Fahad Hospital in Al Hofuf, Saudi Arabia from January 2020 to December 2021. The data were collected from three main sources: the Pharmacy medical records, from the electronic medical records, and from interviewing the patients. The incomplete information was obtained by calling the patients through the contact number they had provided to the hospital. The Epi info software was used for calculating the sample size, assuming a confidence level of 95% and margin of error at 5% and a power of 80% and with the assumption of the prevalence of tramadol use in the population to be 26% (as reported from one similar study ) with 5% deviation. The total sample size calculated was 277.The data were collected on the data collection sheet especially prepared for this study based on the similar study.. The data were entered and analyzed by using the SPSS, version 21. Descriptive statistics (e.g. number, percentage) and analytic statistics using Chi Square tests (χ2) to test for the association and/or the difference between two categorical variables were applied. Logistic regression analysis was also done. A p-value equal to or less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Result: The records of 277 patients who were taking pain killer for their treatment were retrieved for this study. The mean age of the participants was 43.10 years ± St. Dev. 11.30 years. Majority of the participants were in the age group of 38-47 years of age (35.4%). The majority of the participants (71.8%) were male. Likewise majority of the participants were married (90.3%) while 2.9% were never married and 6.5% were divorced. More than fifty parents of the participants were graduate (56.7%) while 30.3% were secondary educated. Almost sixty four percent of the participants were unemployed. More than thirty one percent (31.4%) of the participants were using tramadol tablet. Among them 84.5% were using it for acute pain while the rest 15.46% were using it for chronic pain. More than seventy two percent of the participants (72.71%) never used the tramadol without physician prescription while the rest took it from other source without physician prescription. Young (18-27 years) and older age group (58- 67) participants were 2 times more likely to use the tramadol as compared to other age group (AOR 2.27; 95% CI 1.36-3.41,P=0.046).Most of the elder group of the participants used tramadol for arthritis pain. Non Saudi was 7 times more likely to use and misuse tramadol (AOR 7.27; 95% CI 3.23-
背景:盐酸曲马多是一种合成中枢作用阿片类镇痛药,在世界范围内得到广泛应用。在许多中东国家,曲马多滥用被视为一个重大的公共卫生问题。本研究旨在确定居住在Al-Ahsa地区的沙特患者曲马多使用和滥用的流行程度,以及与曲马多使用/滥用相关的危险因素。材料和方法:这是一项横断面图综述研究,于2020年1月至2021年12月在沙特阿拉伯胡夫的法赫德国王医院的单一中心进行。数据主要来自三个来源:药房医疗记录、电子医疗记录和对患者的访谈。不完整的信息是通过病人提供给医院的联系电话获得的。Epi信息软件用于计算样本量,假设置信度为95%,误差范围为5%,幂为80%,并假设曲马多在人群中的使用率为26%(根据一项类似研究的报告),偏差为5%。计算的总样本量为277。数据是在类似研究的基础上专门为本研究准备的数据收集表上收集的。数据输入和分析使用SPSS,版本21。应用描述性统计(例如数量、百分比)和分析性统计(使用χ2检验)来检验两个分类变量之间的关联和/或差异。Logistic回归分析。p值等于或小于0.05被认为具有统计学意义。结果:本研究检索了277例使用止痛药治疗的患者的记录。参与者平均年龄43.10岁±11.30岁。大多数参与者年龄在38-47岁之间(35.4%)。大多数参与者(71.8%)是男性。同样,大多数参与者已婚(90.3%),2.9%的人从未结婚,6.5%的人离婚。超过50位受访者的父母是大学毕业生(56.7%),而30.3%的受访者是中学学历。几乎64%的参与者没有工作。超过31%(31.4%)的参与者使用曲马多片剂。其中治疗急性疼痛的占84.5%,治疗慢性疼痛的占15.46%。超过72%(72.71%)的参与者在没有医生处方的情况下从未使用过曲马多,其余的参与者在没有医生处方的情况下从其他来源服用曲马多。年轻(18-27岁)和年长年龄组(58- 67岁)的参与者使用曲马多的可能性是其他年龄组的2倍(AOR 2.27;95% ci 1.36-3.41, p =0.046)。大多数老年人使用曲马多治疗关节炎疼痛。非沙特人使用和误用曲马多的可能性是沙特人的7倍(AOR为7.27;95% ci 3.23-12.98, p =0.013)。高收入人群对曲马多的使用和依赖是中低收入人群的2.50倍(AOR为2.50,95% ci1.35 ~ 4.32,P=0.045),关节炎患者对曲马多的使用和依赖是其他疾病患者的7倍(AOR为7.23;95% ci 3.35-14.43)。结论:本研究显示曲马多的使用率高,疼痛患者对曲马多片的依赖性高。这是一个值得关注的问题,尤其是在年轻人中间。沙特阿拉伯对毒品系统的严格监管使其不容易进入。然而,重要的是,公共卫生部门应采取措施,停止不必要地使用曲马多,以防止滥用。

The paper aims to explore the notion of a social group, that constructed an intellectual characteristics’ identity, during Vidyapati’sMithila. The Maithili Brahmins, among these social groups, formed their distinctive identity for a long time. In the process, they determined the social norms in contemporary society. The paper also tries to analyse the state’s attitude in this identity’s creation process which permitted the Maithili Brahmin scholars, on the basis of their sacred texts, Dharmasastras (religious books), to regulate contemporary social order. Their works of literature, in Vidyapati’sMithila, reflect the formation of symmetry, for the validation of their identity and domination, between the challenges at the political and cultural levels. The paper, through the analysis of this literature, attempts to study the legitimacy of the Brahminical hierarchy and regulation of daily life in contemporary Mithila.

Even in print and electronic media, the murder of a girl in Mehroli, Delhi that took place in May 2022 is being covered as leading news. These days, everyone seems to be talking about the incident. Now that the accused person is in police custody, the judge has granted authorization for the police to conduct a Narco test on him in order to uncover the truth and gather evidence. There are now three contemporary methods for discovering the truth. These include the polygraph test, brain mapping and Narco test. The first two don't need any kind of medication, but the third one does, and they have to inject it into the suspect's body. In the Narco test, psychoactive medications such sodium pentothal, scopolamine, and sodium amytal are injected into the subject in order to cause them to experience hypnosis or become sleepy. Under these circumstances, it is highly assumed that the subject will only speak the truth and nothing else throughout the interrogation. Because of this, the test is also referred to as the truth serum test. Although this test is highly helpful in questioning to solve criminal cases, we cannot ignore the bad consequences of the drugs employed and the negative features of the test on both physical and mental health. The court acknowledged that it was illegal and a violation of the right to privacy. In this article, we discuss the necessity of conducting a Narcoanalysis test, as well as its requirements, the procedure to follow in order to carry it out, the potentially harmful effects of the drugs that are used, as well as the potentially harmful effects of the test itself on one's health and some popular Indian criminal cases that are related to Narco testing.

Garlic is one of the typical highland plants that is widely used for medicine and seasoning (food). The white bottom has many benefits and has been developed by cultivation by the community including in North Toraja Regency. The purpose of the study was to analyze the effect of applying fertilizers of different types on garlic plants. The research method used was an experimental method with a Complete Randomized Design Technique, consisting of 4 different types of fertilizers with an observation time of 8 and 15 weeks after planting with 2 repeats so that 16 observational data were obtained. Data analysis was carried out with a parametric statistical analysis approach with the Anova real difference test technique (Analysis of variance). The results of the study obtained that based on the number of leaves obtained a significant difference in the influence of fertilizers. Similarly, at plant height, the same conditions are obtained, namely significant differences in all types of fertilizers. Thus, it is concluded that the influence of fertilizers is very different markedly on the growth of garlic plants, both in terms of the number of leaves and the height of the plant.

Introduction: Sickle cell disease is a potentially blinding haemoglobinopathy. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the knowledge, attitudes and practices of sickle cell patients relating to the disease and its ocular complications on their adherence to ophthalmological monitoring of sickle cell disease. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study by systematic recruitment of sickle cell patients received for any reason, in the outpatient department of the Bouaké University Hospital, during the study period. Results: Out of 50 sickle cell patients aged from 8 to 71 years (average of 28.12) the male accounted for 52%. Pupils and students were predominant (60%) and the patients from urban areas represented 92% (n=46). The patients with a high level and secondary level of education represented respectively 42.00% (n=21) and 40.00%. The AS forms and the SC forms were the most represented with respectively 34% (n=17) and 42% (n=21). Those who did not know if sickle cell disease could cause ocular damages represented 52.00% (n=26) and among the 21 (42%) who said they knew, those who did not know that the disease could be blinding by its ocular involvement were 15 accounting for (71.43%). The sickle cell sufferers who had never consulted an ophthalmologist as part of the follow-up of the disease represented 74.00% (n=37) and among them, 33 (89.19%) affirmed that the monitoring consultation had never been prescribed to them. Conclusion: Poor health education of the sickle cell patients is an obstacle to their adherence to the ophthalmological monitoring and the prevention of blindness due to sickle cell disease.

The Opomyzidae are a family of insects in the order Diptera, Subordem: Brachycera, Infra-ordem: Muscomorpha. This family includes phytophagous species subservient to plants of the Poaceae family (grasses). Some species are pests of cereal crops. Its biological cycle, adapted to the phenology of grasses with an autumn-spring cycle, determines the distribution of this family, represented almost exclusively in the temperate regions of the boreal hemisphere. The purpose of this manuscript is to mention the Family Opomyzidae with pests of cereal crops. Bibliographic verification of Family Opomyzidae was carried out from 1972 to 2022. Manuscripts published in scientific journals and digital platforms on the subject were examined. Only a few species of Opomyzidae cause significant damage to agriculture: the most important are Opomyza florum (Fabricius, 1794), Opomyza germinationis (Linnaeus, 1758) and Opomyza petrei Mesnil, 1934 in the genus Opomyza, and Geomyza balachowskyi Mesnil, 1934, Geomyza combinata (Linnaeus, 1767) and Geomyza tripunctata Fallen, 1823 in the genus Geomyza.

While clinically less severe than smallpox, monkeypox is a viral zoonosis with symptoms that are comparable to those of smallpox. The 2022 multi-country monkeypox outbreak which is an international public health emergency has raised challenging issues for research. For instance, even though monkeypox can be prevented, detected, and treated with the use of vaccines, medicines, and diagnostics, further studies are required to help establish the appropriate use of these medical products. There are further concerns regarding the length of illness and the reasons why some people get sicker than others. Priorities for monkeypox public health research in Africa are to raise awareness of studies that could be conducted whose conclusions, when they are made, will significantly improve global health security. We present 6 key Monkeypox Public Health research priorities for Africa from a DEENIP paradigm for strengthening global health security. The DEENIP priorities as an organizing framework are D= D: Diagnostic tools and surveillance, E =Epidemiological, clinical and immunological traits, E= Equitable, effective, and safety distribution of vaccines including therapeutics, N= New and innovative methods for assessing medical countermeasures, I=Improve equity and reduce stigma during public health emergency, P = Public health communication strategies.
