Hyaluronic acid fillers are one of the most frequently used in cosmetic procedures. They are popular because of their ability to restore volume to the face, which surgery isn’t capable of. Inside the skin, the implant is subjected to various mechanical forces that vary according to the anatomical area. Every filler has specific rheological properties which change the way it performs in the clinical environment. A sound understanding of how the anatomy of the face works, alongside the rheological properties of the filler, is vital for successful outcomes in facial rejuvenation procedures.

Background: Despite inroads in treatment and prevention, childhood febrile illnesses remain global public health issues. Optimal care-seeking by mothers could influence health outcomes. Objective: To assess the differences in care-seeking patterns and practices for childhood febrile illnesses among mothers of under–fives in urban and rural areas of Anambra state, Nigeria. Methods: This was a comparative cross-sectional analytical mixed-method study. Multistage sampling technique was used to enrol 600 mothers of under-five children accessing child welfare clinics at the Primary Health Care facilities in Anambra state. Analysis of data was carried out using SPSS version 22; with alpha set at p-value ≤ 0.05.Triangulation of findings of the survey and thematic content analysis of the Focus Group Discussion was done. Results: Appropriate care was sought by 134 (44.7%) of the urban and 125 (43.2%) of the rural respondents (p = 0.458). Prompt appropriate care was sought by 122 (40.7%) of the urban and 98 (36.7%) of the rural respondents (p = 0.042). Distance to the health facility, determinant of place of care-seeking and possession of health insurance were significantly associated with appropriate and prompt care-seeking patterns among the mothers. Conclusions: Appropriate and prompt care-seeking is generally poor among the respondents in both localities. A reorientation of mothers on appropriate and prompt care-seeking practices through continuous health education and other awareness creation processes is needed.
背景:尽管在治疗和预防方面取得了进展，儿童发热性疾病仍然是全球性的公共卫生问题。母亲的最佳求诊可能会影响健康结果。目的:评估尼日利亚阿南布拉州城市和农村地区五岁以下儿童发热性疾病母亲的求医模式和做法的差异。方法:采用比较横断面分析混合方法进行研究。采用多阶段抽样技术，在阿南布拉州初级保健设施的儿童福利诊所登记了600名5岁以下儿童的母亲。数据分析使用SPSS version 22;alpha集p值≤0.05。对调查结果进行了三角测量，并对焦点小组讨论的主题内容进行了分析。结果:城市和农村分别有134人(44.7%)和125人(43.2%)寻求适当护理(p = 0.458)。城市受访者中有122人(40.7%)和农村受访者中有98人(36.7%)寻求及时适当的治疗(p = 0.042)。与保健设施的距离、求医地点的决定因素和是否拥有医疗保险与母亲适当和及时的求医模式显著相关。结论:两地被调查者普遍缺乏适当、及时的就医服务。需要通过持续的保健教育和其他提高认识的进程，使母亲重新认识到适当和迅速的求医做法。

Naturopathy is a relatively new medical approach which combines different traditional remedies and health care practices. Tinctures, compresses, teas and other medicinal forms are used. The main sources are herbs and plants. However, their inept application often leads to unwanted side effects such as bleeding, gastrointestinal disturbances, allergic reactions, fatigue, dizziness, confusion, dry mouth, photosensitivity, hypertension, rash and a lot of others. Among the most frequently used naturopathic remedies is garlic. In parallel with its many good effects, allergic reactions and skin burns are not infrequently described. In this report, we present a case of second-degree skin burn on the dorsal lower leg caused by the use of crushed garlic over a short period of time.

This retrospective cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between probiotic use and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) prevention in premature newborns at the Neonatal Units of Epic Latino between 2015 and 2020. The study included 8,632 premature newborns, 309 of whom developed enterocolitis. Results showed that gestational age was the primary risk factor for NEC development, with incidence inversely proportional to gestational age. Probiotic administration was not found to be a significant protective factor against NEC. The study suggests that further research on probiotic type, dosage, and administration is required to determine their effectiveness in preventing NEC in premature infants

Consumers of illicit toxicants combine toxicants in order to potentiate and prolong the duration of the effects. This results in an increase in acute or chronic toxicity, in particular cardiac toxicity, associating a variety of arrhythmias ranging from benign sinus tachycardia to the most complex ventricular arrhythmias. Heart risks are higher when people are young. We report the case of a 48 year old male chronic user of illicit substances, including cocaine, cannabis, amphetamines as well as alcohol; and who presents a wide variety of ventricular arrhythmia and conduction disorders associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We describe through a review of the literature the physiopathological mechanisms involved in the genesis of rhythmic disorders and myocardial damage secondary to toxicity; before considering the management challenge of arrhythmias induced by multiple drug addiction

Background: Various semen parameters including morphology, vitality, motility, maturation, pH, count, agglutination and biochemical parameters altogether determine the overall quality of semen. Common factors associated with oligospermia are diseases (genetic, infectious, hormonal and obstructive), smoking, environmental factors such as radiation, heavy metal poisoning, overheating of testicles. Objective: Semen analysis in infertile males of various age group with possible correlation of parameters in relation to oligospermia. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional descriptive observational study included 150 semen sample received from various infertility clinics, obstetric gynaecology clinics, In vitro fertilization centers, and from individuals with infertility problems. The study was conducted from July2021-February2022. Parameters studied included volume, liquefaction time, pH, count, motility, morphology, immature forms, agglutination, leucocytes, and fructose. Results: Out of 150 cases, majority belonged to the age group of 31-40years, mean age was 33.14 years. Seventy-three cases (48.7%) were normal, six (4%) showed azoospermia, 71 (47.3%) showed oligospermia. Parameters correlated positively with oligospermia are age (0.008 Pearson correlation, 0.946 p value, not significant), pH (0.194 Pearson correlation, 0.106 p value, not significant), liquefaction time (0.106 Pearson correlation, 0.378 p value, not significant). Parameters correlated negatively with oligospermia are volume (-0.58 Pearson correlation, 0.633 p value, not significant) and motility (-2.77 Pearson correlation, 0.19 p value, significant) Conclusion: The study showed a positive correlation of oligospermia with age, pH, liquefaction time and negative correlation with volume and motility. The study also showed a significant association between oligospermia and motility, morphology, agglutination and fructose.

The research entitled THE INFLUENCE OF THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION TO THE LEVEL OF PATIENTS’ ANXIETY IN RST Dr. SOEDJONO MAGELANG ICU was conducted on May 1 st, 2007 until June 30th, 2007. Anxiety is a feeling of worry that is expressed in order to face threat from outside whether they are real or unreal. A way to overcome the anxiety is giving the therapeutic communication. The research goal is to find out how the influence of therapeutic communication of client treated in ICU and to find out the illustration of anxiety level before and after treatment by therapeutic communication. This research is stake to be an experiment research, one group pre-test – post-test research. The subjects are 30 clients treated in ICU. The anxiety level is measured by the research instrument named Rating Scale for Anxiety (HRS-A). The statistical analysis test is carried out by using t-test in pre-test and post-test design. The result is t=19,746 > t table (d.f=29 t table=2,045) and the level of significance is 1%. The conclusion of the research is therapeutic communication has an influence to reduce patients’ anxiety level in ICU
