Lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) in infants and toddlers is commonly encountered in clinical practice. There are several factors producing LGIB in these children and are usually managed with regard to the underlying pathology that produces LGIB. Although majority of these bleeding episodes is self limited, certain infants and toddlers with LGIB may necessitate prompt management including urgent surgical intervention. In this review article it is aimed to review the etiology, epidemiology, clinical manifestations and principles of treatment of LGIB in infants and toddlers under the light of relevant literature.

Burns is a common public health problem and these injuries can be accidental, suicidal or even homicidal in nature. Hands being the most active part of the body, are often involved in burns. Hand burns represent three percent of body surface area, and are involved in more than 80% of all severe burns. Hand burns predominantly affect young adults and therefore have serious social and financial implications. The hand is one of the most frequent sites of burns scar contracture deformity. The deformities and contractures result in lifelong physical problems and affects the normal functioning of the person.

The human body has vital parameters such as respiration, heart rate, and body temperature. Respiratory rate (RR) is a parameter that expresses the rate of respiration per minute. Respiratory activities play an essential role in human life. The rate of respiration has a particular range, which is 14-18 cycles per minute for a healthy and normal person at rest. The oxygen in the blood enters the body during respiration and is expelled as carbon dioxide in return. Any problems with breathing may pose a serious health risk. An abnormal breathing pattern indicates serious illnesses such as cardiac arrest and hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU) and when it falls below a certain limit, it indicates a loss of consciousness. This is why it is so imperative to develop devices and methods measuring respiration rates.

Introduction In the literature ovarian tumors are know to be one of the deadliest gynecological malignancies [1-4]. In US this type of malignancy represents 2.3 % of all cancer-related death and about 4 % of all new cancer cases among women. There are several studies that have reported the role of lipid profiles and it’s role in ovarian tumorigenesis. Fatty acids are essential for cancer cells progression[4-8]. In our study we investigated the true differance in circulating lipid profiles (total cholesterol TC, triglyceride TG, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL, low density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL) among patients with and without ovarian tumors (OT) using a meta-analytical approach. Methods The meta-analysis was conducted using the MOOSE guidelines. PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library were extensively searched (with a period of publication restriction between 2007 and 2019) to indentify published studies using the following keywords: “ total cholesterol ”, “high-density lipoprotein”, “ triglycerides ”, “ low-density lipoprotein ”, “ ovarian cancer”, “ ovarian tumor ”, “ lipid profile ”. The search methodology is shown in Fig. 1 and all references of retrieved articles were searched manually. Results Seven studies, involving 1542 OT cases and 2195 non-cases of OT were included in this meta-analysis and I² statistics ranged between 97 and 99%. Mean circulating TC and HDL were significantly lower among OT cases compared to non-OT cases (P<0.04 and P<0.005). Conclusion There is a modest significant association between circulating HDL and risk of ovarian tumor but it is crucial to elucidate the implications of HDL in tumor manifestations and growth.

Chronic stasis dermatitis, usually confined to the lower legs, is a complication of longstanding interstitial edema and inflammation, due either to venous hypertension or disorders having in common excessive lymph overload. Heart failure, renal failure, liver cirrhosis, secondary and primary diseases of lymph vessels may complicate with stasis dermatitis. The same mechanisms causing stasis dermatitis can also generate skin ulcers superimposed on stasis dermatitis. In the appropriate context such skin ulcers are called "venous ulcers" or, in different situations, “stasis ulcers”. The distinction between venous and other stasis ulcers is usually possible at the bedside. Also, some general measures of therapy are similar for venous and other stasis ulcers: such are elastic compression, topical skin care and ulcer care. In having in common the pathophysiological mechanisms, in bearing clinical resemblance, and responding to similar therapies, a unifying concept may be opportune to comprise the spectrum of stasis dermatitis, venous and other stasis ulcers. The present work is an appeal to this aim.

Induced abortion is a common practice for women worldwide; nevertheless, the practice of unsafe abortion rate in Ghana is in height and is a constant issue of public health concern. Objective: The main aim of the study was to identify predictive factors associated with induced abortion among women in Ghana. Methods: Ghana Maternal Health Survey data was used for this study to do an analytic cross-section study. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 20. The association between dependent and independent variables was explored using chi-square and logistic regression. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: In this study, the prevalence of induced among the respondents was 14.8%, the prevalence was higher (25.5%) in Greater Accra Region and lower (3.2%) in Northern Region. All under-studied independent variables through chi-square analysis were associated with induced abortion with significance. However, in advance analysis through binary logistics regression model predictor factors of induced abortion in Ghana identified were; the age of the respondents’, region of orientation, religious affiliation, marital status, ethnicity, exposure to mobile phone and newspaper, and age at first sex. The logistic regression model appropriately explained the outcome variable (induced abortion) since the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test p-value was more than 0.05 (X2 (8) = 4.428, P = .817). Conclusion: The prevalence of abortion in Ghana is still high, hence the need for increase public education on contraceptive use and the adverse effects of abortion through the use of modern media can go a long way to reduce the incidence of induced abortion in Ghana.

Phospholipids bilayers fulfill an important role in natural joint lamellar-repulsive lubrication mechanism. Low friction between surfaces coated with negatively charged the phospholipid headgroup (–PO4-) as being due to a hydration layer. Wettability of the cartilage surface depends on the number of PLs that act as a lubricant. The cartilage can be classified as a group of intelligent material, which in the wet state has a contact angle of ~0º, and the air-dry state has a contact angle of ~104º.

Introduction: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition with recurrent collapses of the pharyngeal region that result in partial or total reduction in airflow. Its diagnosis and severity depends on the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), data from the polysomnography exam (PSG). Its pathophysiology includes anatomical disorders of the upper airways that can be assessed through Flexible Nasofibroscopy (FN). Objective: To identify the alterations present in the tests of FN and PSG in patients with OSA and correlate with the AHI. Methods: Cross-sectional study, with data collected from reports of the FN and PSG exams of 81 patients with OSA, seen at an otorhinolaryngology clinic in Tubarão - SC. It was verified the association between the outcome –AHI- and other exposure variables - sociodemographic and clinical. Results: Among the 81 patients, 75.31% were male, 41.98% had mild apnea, 30.86% moderate and 27.16% severe apnea. There was no correlation between FN findings and AHI (p> 0.05). There was a difference between the mean age, number of obstructive episodes per hour of sleep and minimum saturation between the groups with severe and mild apnea (p <0.05). Patients with severe apnea had a higher percentage of sleep phase one and a shorter REM sleep time compared to the mild apnea group (p <0.05). A positive correlation was obtained between: obstructive episodes with sleep stage 1 (p <0.01) and age (p <0.05); between minimum saturation and sleep stage 3 (p <0.05). There was an inverse correlation between obstructive episodes with minimal saturation (p <0.001), with sleep stage 3 (p <0.01) and with REM sleep (p <0.01); between age and minimum saturation (p <0.01). Conclusion: OSA directly interferes with sleep architecture. The present study did not find association between upper airway alterations and OSA severity.
