Background: Sudden stroke had caused the caregivers minimal time to prepare for their role as carers. Some stroke caregivers were overwhelmed to adjust and accept new responsibilities. They need to reorganise their functions and establish new daily life routines in response to the chronic illness that happens with stroke survivors. Objective: This study aimed to determine and explore coping strategies employed by stroke caregivers. Methods: This mixed-method study involved 32 stroke caregivers from a community-based stroke rehabilitation centre in Kuching, Sarawak. Results: From quantitative analysis, most stroke caregivers employed problem-focused coping strategies (mean=56.66, SD=10.79), followed by emotion-focused coping strategies (mean=55.63, SD=10.29) in confronting the challenges of caring for stroke survivors. Data from qualitative findings revealed eight themes of coping strategies: adjustment to daily life, selfmotivation, sharing with other people, acceptance, avoiding thinking about the problem, hoping stroke survivors will get better, emotion suppression and self-blame. Conclusion: This study’s outcomes provide crucial information about the burdens held by stroke caregivers when taking care of stroke survivors. Stroke caregivers need to adapt better and suitable coping strategies. This will prevent them from becoming overwhelmed by the accumulated stress from caring burdens. The long-term effect of coping strategies should positively assist stroke caregivers in managing the burdens effectively and fostering satisfaction in their life.

Background: Biological and technical hardware complications in implant-retained prostheses are well documented in the literature. The most frequently reported failures are on the immediate or delayed factors after implant placement. Even when the implant has successfully osseointegrated, there is a chance that the prosthesis can fail if the treatment planning and occlusal aspects are not well studied. Management of failed cases is rarely reported. In this case report, the authors present a failed implant prosthesis and how it was managed well with a more permanent solution. Case presentation: A 55-year-old, male retired bank manager, reported with the chief complaint of frequent fracture of the maxillary acrylic hybrid implant prosthesis that was delivered 6 months ago. He wanted a replacement for the fractured upper maxillary acrylic hybrid prosthesis. On clinical evaluation, the upper maxillary implant prosthesis was opposing the natural tooth, an anterior bridge, and two posterior implants in the lower right and left of the first and second molar region. The patient was happy with the lower restorations. Conclusion: The design of the final restoration based on biological, mechanical, technological, and patient factors should be ideally planned during the initial treatment planning stage itself. In case a prosthesis fails the underlying cause should be analyzed and retreatment planning is to be done. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol. 23 No. 01 January’24 Page : 266-271

Introduction: Student burnout syndrome is a major concern in higher education, associated with high prevalence rates. Its consequences include dropping out of school and adverse effects on mental and physical health. Despite this, the importance of academic engagement, a positive attitude towards learning, is often overlooked in the Moroccan context. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted over a period of one month in 2023, and relies on semi-structured interviews to collect data. The measurement instruments used in this study include a self-questionnaire and two well-established scales: the Copenhagenan Burnout Inventory (CBI) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9). Results: The study reveals complex links between socio-economic factors, academic failure and burnout, with p values < 0.05. No significant relashionship was revealed between engagement and burnout (p>0.05). Female students showed a higher level of burnout than male students (p < 0.05). Age appears to be a determining factor, with younger students showing higher levels of burnout. Housing had an influence on burnout (p < 0.05) and differences between faculties showed a significant effect on burnout (p < 0.05). The internal consistency of the burnout and engagement scales are satisfactory. Conclusion: This study highlights the need for a holistic approach to addressing burnout in students. Targeted interventions are essential to support students in diverse academic contexts, taking into account a variety of socio-economic factors.

Objective: The Aim of the research was to study the profile of serum cytokines in patients with genital endometriosis, as well as to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of any single cytokine or combination of cytokines in predicting the inflammatory status in endometriosis. Material and methods: The study included 48 patients. They were divided into two groups: I group (experimental) – 28 women with genital endometriosis, II group (control) - 20 healthy non-pregnant women. For the determination of serum biomarkers (IL-6, IL-8, IL-18, TNF-α, MIF) the multiplex immunofluorescence method with XMap technology was used. Results: There were no statistical differences in IL-18 and MIF levels between the studied groups (p = 0.630 and p = 0.421). However, serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α were significantly different (respectively, p = 0.037, p < 0.001, p < 0.001). In women with endometriosis the levels of IL-8 and TNF-α were increased 5 times, and level of IL-6 was increased 3 times. The diagnostic significance of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α levels for predicting genital endometriosis was 75.0% and 60.0%; 100.0% and 90.0%; 92.9% and 85.0%, respectively. Conclusions: The levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α were significantly higher in patients with genital endometriosis. The diagnostic significance of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α levels for predicting genital endometriosis was also established with the determination of the sensitivity and specificity of the model.

Background: Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR) is a response to a drug which is noxious and unintended, and which occurs at therapeutic doses. Due to a lack of systematic documentation regarding the occurrence of ADR and other issues to the safety of Ayurvedic medicines, concern about the traditional medical system has recently been increased. This is seen by a rise in safety reports and misunderstandings, especially in the recent pandemic. Objective: To monitor and analyse the suspected ADR to Ayurvedic medicines used in COVID-19. Materials and Methods: ADR monitoring data was collected through spontaneous and intensive method for a span of 2-year (April 2020 to April 2022) during the peak days of COVID-19 from the IPvCC of the National Institute of Ayurveda, Jaipur, India. The IPvCC Program is governed by NPvCC under the supervision of Ministry of AYUSH, Govt. of India, New Delhi. NPvCC is ultimately responsible to monitor and recommend regulatory interventions on the generated national ADR data. Result: In a span of two-year, 142 adverse drug events were reported out of which 17 were confirmed as ADR due to suspected Ayurvedic drugs. Conclusion: Overall review demonstrated that Ayurveda has traditionally been placed a strong emphasis on treatments that aim to heal the underlying illness while preventing the development of new illnesses.

Background: The anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) should not be delay too long to get a good outcome but how long delay could be considered acceptable is not known. The objective of this study was to assess the outcome of surgery performed within and after a year of injury. We also predicted the operative outcome if the surgery is further delayed and several associated factors were also evaluated if they could influence the outcome. Methodology: Thirty-six patients were recruited in the early group where surgery is performed within a year of injury and thirty were in the delayed group where surgery was after a year of injury. Age, sex, body mass index, Tegner activity level and duration from the time of injury to surgery were evaluated. Surgical outcomes were measured at one year follow up after surgery were Lysholm score and limb symmetry index (LSI). Results: Mean time from injury to surgery for early and delayed groups were eight months and 18 months. Timing from injury to surgery affects the outcome parameters. Both groups showed good outcomes but the early group showed better LSI and Lysholm scores (p<0.5). LSI was better in predicting the outcome of surgery compared to Lysholm score (67% vs 43%). Conclusions: Early ACLR showed better outcome but the late ACLR still demonstrate acceptable result in the absent of high grade cartilage lesion. LSI is better at predicting the outcome of surgery.

Background:Allergic diseases and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) sometimes are being connected since both of these diseases are affected by gene-environment processes. SLE can appear coexisting with other autoimmune diseases as an overlapping syndrome. Objectives: This research was done to investigate the relation of allergic diseases and SLE as a single SLE or overlapping syndrome compared to control. Method: We collected data from 39 SLE only, 22 overlapping syndrome SLE, and 39 non SLE subjects who had filled an online Score for Allergic Rhinitis (SFAR) questionnaire. Results: There are significant outcomes of the existence of allergic disease (p=.007), atopic dermatitis (p=.000) and total number of allergies (p=.016) in SLE patients. There is a correlation of the appearance of allergy in SLE as a single or coexisting with other autoimmune disease compared to control group. Conclusion: Atopic dermatitis and the more number of allergic diseases that the one have, play role in appearing SLE. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol. 22 No. 04 October’23 Page : 916-919

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an experiential learning intervention among middle school teens by midwifery students to reduce the risk of teen pregnancy. Methods: This research was a controlled pre-and post-test design study aimed to evaluate the impact of experiential learning intervention “Smart Teens Program” among middle school students. The data on knowledge, attitude, and subjective norms were collected during a pre-test and posttest (six weeks for intervention), in a control group (n=70) and an intervention group (n=68). The data were collected from self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using STATA (version 12.0). Results: The results showed a significant impact of the intervention “Smart Teen Program” by midwifery students, where there was a significant increase in the knowledge, attitude, and subjective norms in reducing the risk factors of teen pregnancy (p-value = 0.00). The control group who was not given any treatment showed a decreased value. Conclusions: Interventions through experiential learning by midwifery students were able to improve efforts to prevent teen pregnancy.

Background: The intensity of the COVID-19 epidemic process in the administrative territories of Ukraine differs. Risk factors for the spread of this infection have not been sufficiently studied, which prevents the development of adequate preventive and anti-epidemic measures at the local level. Objectives: Conduct an epidemiological analysis of the incidence of COVID-19 in the regions of the Northern part of Ukraine and identify the leading risk factors for spread. Material and Methods: The incidence of COVID-19 was analyzed for 73 weeks and 28 predictors. Fourier’s spectral analysis, Feature Selection and Variable Filtering method of the Data mining module, Irwin’s method, integral visual coefficient was used. Results. There were two rises in the incidence of COVID-19, the cyclicity was 18 - 24 weeks. The conditions for the spread of COVID-19 cases in the regions of the Northern part have been established, namely: the number of people and the elderly in the family, demographic and migration processes. Violation of regime-restrictive measures leads to abnormal rises in morbidity. Conclusions. The epidemic situation in the Northern part remains volatile, as there are conditions for the spread of COVID-19 that cannot be eliminated, as well as some, that need to be developed (tourism, demographic processes, financing, etc.). Therefore, compliance with restrictive measures and vaccination of the population of the region remain the main preventive measures.

Objectives: The objective of this work is to assess the psychological impact of Covid-19 through the study of all variables likely to influence the mental health of patients declared positive for Covid-19. This investigation aims to integrate a protocol of psychological therapeutic followup of patients, which is as essential as medical follow-up. Methods: Analytical study of the psychological impact of Covid-19 on patients treated in a health center in the province of Kenitra of Morocco over a period of 6 months. Results: The follow-up of patients declared positive for Covid-19, reveals that, although the majority have never had a psychological or psychiatric history, 38% have stress, 49% anxiety and 51% sleep disorders. Conclusion: The study shows that the Covid-19 pandemic generates alongside the physical symptoms, a significant psychological impact on patients Characterized by anxiety, insomnia and post-traumatic stress. Therefore, care integrating the psychological follow-up of patients is necessary. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol. 22 No. 04 October’23 Page : 895-901
