Objectives: To determine young individuals’ attitudes towards sexual education and related factors. Emotions, thoughts, and attitudes are as important as knowledge on sexual matters. For this reason, it is necessary to determine the attitudes of young people towards sexual education and the factors affecting these attitudes. Material and Methods: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study. The study included university students and data were collected via ‘Google Forms’. The study sample is comprised of 501 undergraduate students. We collected the data in November-December 2021 using a Personal Information Form and the Scale of Attitudes towards Sex Education (SATSE). Results: The average SATSE score of the participants was 59.27±11.14. We found that 52.3% of the participants considered their sexual health knowledge level as sufficient, but 60.5% did not receive sexual health education. In addition, it was determined that more than half of the participants could not easily talk about sexual health issues with their families. Conclusion: The results of the research showed that the attitudes of the participants towards sexual education were generally positive. Several characteristics, such as the geographical region resided, father’s education level, being in a romantic relationship, and finding their sexual health knowledge level as sufficient affected their attitudes towards sexual education.

Objective: Clinical clerkship students, as adolescent health workers, have been first recipients of the COVID-19 vaccination programme. The success rate and trust of recipients in the program have been impacted by adverse events following immunization (AEFI). This study aims to determine the AEFI of the CoronaVac vaccine among clinical clerkship students at the Faculty of Medicine, State Islamic University, Jakarta. Material and Methods: This study used cross sectional methods with a total of 225 subjects completing a questionnaire. The CoronaVac vaccine was administered twice with 2 week interval. AEFI was evaluated after 30 minutes, 24 hours, and on the third day. Results and discussion: 73.3% of the participants were female, 20-25 years old. AEFIs were found in 57.8 % of all participants in the first and second doses vaccination. The most common local AEFI was pain at the site injection, accounting 27.1 % which occurred 30 minutes after second dose vaccination. The most common systemic AEFI was drowsiness, accounting for 18 % which occurred 24 hours after first dose vaccination. Other systemic AEFIs were headache, fatigue, and chills. There was significant association between AEFIs and females but no significant association with history of allergy, comorbidities, and history of previous COVID-19 . AEFIs were mild, no special treatment or hospitalization were required. Conclusion: The AEFIs of the CoronaVac vaccine among students were mild and had significant association with females. The study is expected to increase the public’s confidence in the COVID-19 vaccination program and to create awareness of its safety.

Objectives: Drug-drug interaction (DDI) occurs following the prescription of more than one drug. DDI and its associated factors in Indonesia’s country’s primary care have not been reported. Materials and Methods: Through this descriptive cross-sectional study, we analysed the DDI incidence using the Clinical-Based Drug Interaction Alert (CIDIA) alert system. Purposive research was carried out by analysing prescriptions (n=2410) from nine primary health cares. Results: CIDIA alert system detected 7.5% DDI incidence in all prescriptions, categorized as mild (63%), moderate (36%) and serious (1%). Significant DDI incidence was observed in female patients (p<0.01), in patients older than 18 years (p<0.01) and in patients receiving three or more drugs (p<0.01). The most frequent incidence of DDI from each category was paracetamol-domperidone; dexamethasone-mefenamic acid and captopril-allopurinol. Conclusion: CIDIA alert system has been shown to provide beneficial support in detecting DDI incidence. Careful consideration should be addressed particularly towards female patients, older patients, and patients receiving three or more drugs in preventing DDI incidence.

Objective: to determine the influence of Classical exercises on the distribution of attention of schoolchildren. Method: the pedagogical experiment was conducted during the academic year. It was attended by students aged 9-10 years (40 people). Coordination abilities were determined by the “Shuttle Run” test, and the distribution of students’ attention by the “Different counting” method. Statistical processing of the results was carried out according to the Bio-Stat program and the T-student was calculated. Results: after the experiment, the indicators in the control group improved by 2.9% (p>0.05) - shuttle running, and the distribution of attention from 36.1±2.4 to 32.9±3.4 (p>0.05). In the experimental group, shuttle running significantly improved by 14.1% (p<0.05), and the distribution of attention improved from 9.9±0.5 to 8.5±0.4 (p<0.05). Such data indicate the effective effect of Classical exercises on the indicators of the distribution of students’ attention. Conclusion: if students of 9-10 years of age in physical education classes will perform the Classics exercise, then the indicators of coordination abilities and the distribution of children’s attention will significantly improve.

Objectives: The correct determination of the vertebral level is important in anesthesia management and the prevention of possible risks. It has been shown that estimation of L4/5 intervertebral lumbar level based on Tuffier’s line determined by palpation (palpated L4/5) is often inaccurate. In this study, it was aimed to investigate how Tuffier’s line changes in the lateral decubitus position due to pregnancy. Material and Methods: The patients were divided into two groups in this prospective cohort study. The pregnant patients were assigned to Group P (n = 75) while the non-pregnant patients were assigned to Group NP (n = 60). Lumbar ultrasound was conducted in both groups in the left lateral decubitus position to verify the vertebral level determined by Tuffier’s line that was detected by palpation. Demographic data, determination time of Tuffier’s line, ultrasound, and the detected vertebral levels were recorded in both groups. Results and Discussion: Vertebral levels detected by both techniques were compatible with 35 (46.6%) patients in Group P and 36 (60%) patients in Group NP (p = 0.165). The vertebral levels in Group P detected via ultrasound were determined at L2 in three (4%) patients, at L2/3 in three (4%) patients, at L3 intervals in three (4%) patients, and at the L3/4 interval in 31 (41.3%) patients. The vertebral levels of the patients in Group NP detected via ultrasound was at L2/3 in 2 (3.3%) patients, and at the L3/4 interval in 22 (36.7%) patients. For the risk of insertion from a risky injection site, the OR = 3.96–95 and GA = 0.82–19.05 in Group P were higher compared to Group NP (approximately 4 times higher). While Group P was significantly limited in the risk analysis, according to L3 (p = 0.087), the risk under this level was similar (p = 0.124). In this study, the verification of Tuffier’s line determined through palpation did not show the correct vertebral level in almost half of the patients in the lateral decubitus position, regardless of pregnancy and demographic data. Conclusion: We believe a possible spinal cord injury can be prevented by determining the needle insertion site via lumbar ultrasound in the pregnant patients.

Background: Nowadays, Health Care Professionals’ (HCPs) are increasingly using mobile phones which may act as reservoirs and vector for transmission of pathogens. The presence of multidrug resistant nosocomial microbes on the surface of mobile phones used by HCPs in hospitals can pose a great public health threat. So, this research was conducted to identify the concerned multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria and also to explore the recent status of bacterial contamination on mobile phones of HCPs in the Jashore region of Bangladesh and determine their antibiotic resistance pattern. Methods: Swab samples of mobile phones were collected between June and September 2019 from 24 different users (i.e., manager, worker, doctor and nurse) associated to four distinct hospitals of Jashore region, Bangladesh. After suitable morphological and biochemical identification, we determined their antimicrobial susceptibility by Kirby- Bauer disc diffusion method by using 18 antibiotics for Gram positive bacteria and 19 antibiotics for Gram negative bacteria. Later, the MDR isolates were grouped by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) and 16S rRNA sequencing with phylogeny were performed to confirm the bacteria at species level. Results: A total of 38 bacterial isolates were obtained from the sample. Enterobacter spp. isolates showed maximum resistance against Amoxicillin, followed by Ampicillin and Aztreonam (80% each) and one isolate showed highest antibiotic resistance (15 out of 19) among all the isolates. In addition, Staphylococcus spp. and Exiguobacterium spp. isolates showed 100% resistance against Penicillin, Ampicillin, Oxacillin, Erythromycin, Lincomycin and Cefotaxime. On the contrary, all of the isolates of Escherichia spp., Bacillus spp., Proteus spp. were sensitive to all tested antibiotics. Surprisingly, 20 MDR isolates were showing resistance to at least 2 antibiotics. Subsequently, three distinct genera of these MDR isolates were identified by ARDRA; the strains Enterobacter cloacae (75%), Staphylococcus warneri (15%) and Exiguobacterium aurantiacum (10%) were confirmed by the 16S rRNA phylogenetic analysis. Conclusion: We found that cell phones can act as reservoirs of multidrug-resistant pathogens, causative agents for Hospital-acquired infections. An effective hygiene practice for health care personnel should be introduced to prevent the cross-contamination by their cell phone Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol. 22 No. 03 July’23 Page : 643-656

Prisoners are pressured from inside or outside the correctional facility, triggering psychological problems such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Meanwhile, hope is a positive psychology that helps inmates overcome psychological problems in correctional facilities. This study further aims to determine female prisoners’ hope in correctional facilities. The scoping review approach was used, starting with the article search through, EBSCO (CINAHL and Academic Search), ProQuest, and Google Scholar databases, using keywords such as female, hope, prisoners, and prison. The articles were sorted based on inclusion criteria, involving the availability of full texts, 2010-2021 publications, primary research results, population and research samples involving female prisoners, qualitative study, and the hope of female prisoners in prison. The results showed that female prisoners have hopes for life during their sentence and after being released from prison. As a conclusion, all the articles provided an overview of the hopes to be achieved ranging from career, family, education, desire to be free from crime, and the desire for revenge. Several articles demonstrated that the source of hope comes from social support while in prison, as well as religious, and self-development activities.

Sclerosing stromal tumour (SST) is a rare benign sex cord stromal tumour occurring in women in their second and third decades. Patients usually present with menstrual irregularity and pelvic pain. Microscopically, this tumour is characterized by epithelioid and spindle cells arranged in pseudolobules separated by areas with fibrous deposition of various amount. Presence of ‘staghorn like’ proliferating vasculature is the hallmark feature of this tumour. The main differential diagnoses are thecoma and fibroma. Immunohistochemistry can be used to differentiate these tumours. This relatively new entity should be kept in mind while reporting ovarian tumour in a young female. We have described SST in an 18 year old female in this case report. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol. 22 No. 03 July’23 Page : 712-717

Objective: The development of a paradigm for enhancing the emotional state of service members and a method for identifying their negative states as a result of psychological stresses is of the utmost importance in the context of today’s pressing issues. To that end, the purpose of this study is to develop and subjectively test the effectiveness of a procedure for identifying negative emotional states in service members (cadets from Kazakhstan’s military institutes). Materials and methods: A two-stage procedure is proposed to identify a risk group for negative emotional states. The methodology for identifying negative emotional states is divided into two stages: screening and deep. Results and discussion: It will be discussed how the algorithm performed when tested on a sample of cadets from two military universities in Kazakhstan. According to the results, nearly all the people in the sample studied (approximately 95%) exhibited relatively positive indicators of psychological health, including low levels of depression, aggression, and anxiety. Negative emotional states were present in 5% of the service members. Additional ongoing dynamic assessment and monitoring of the risk group is required. Conclusion: The obtained results provide sufficient evidence to discuss how the proposed algorithm could be used. The research has practical value because it can be used to implement the applied method at training ranges in the contemporary military era.
