The feminisation of HIV and AIDS has become a worldwide phenomenon, and the Caribbean region has not been fortunate enough to be excluded. Caribbean females had 3-4 times higher infection rates than males up to a decade ago. Studies that focus on the contributing psychosocial factors to HIV risk in the Caribbean are limited. This narrative review showcases pivotal work which addresses the reciprocally connected responsibilities of patriarchy and religious practices and how they feed into the desolate reality of Anglophone Caribbean women. The relationship between these cultural issues in the Caribbean, using an anthropological lens, sets a platform for an investigation into HIV and AIDS. This paper seeks to encourage further research centred on the religious elements, which influence heterosexual relationships, and how these relationships are predisposed to potential HIV and AIDS risk. The ultimate goal of this study is to provide English- speaking Caribbean faith-based organisations, public health officials and policymakers a public stage to consider further policy implications for the staggering and disproportionate rates of HIV and AIDS between women and men.

participants has been identified as a major factor menstrual Abstract Background: Violence against women takes different forms, often reflecting cultural patterns. Forced segregation and other dangerous or at least discriminatory practices during menstruation can be observed in a number of cultures, such as Nepal, but also in other regions. The present pandemic with its special risks and lockdown measures must be expected to potentially cause additional problems for women in the critical time of menstruation. Aims and methodology: The aim of our study was to collect information on the experience of women in different regions and identify risk factors for such practices, such as education, health belief systems and bias in the communities together with the impact of the COVID pandemic on these factors. The survey was conducted online to keep safety protocols necessary during the SARS 2 pandemic. To identify possible key factors we conducted a qualitative/mixed method survey resulting in categories and vivid descriptions relating to violence and discrimination. 139 participants, (age range 13-48 years, 85.8 percent female, else LGBT) from different countries, including both low-economy countries with high rates of reported discrimination such as Nepal and India, but also from the US participated in the survey. Results: Patients reported experience of bias and insufficient or incorrect information by parents, and later in the communities. Lockdown measures impacted in some cases, but in general to a lesser degree on access to dignified hygienic measures required during menstruation, as compared to before the pandemics, but was reported to increase the social stress and reduce social support. Shame, insecurity and distress during menstruation and were described as main adverse factors influencing well-being and psychological health.

Technological developments in health in recent years have necessitated new practices in nursing care. In care practices, nurses primarily tend to practices that will increase the quality of care and create the continuity of care. In our age, with the increase in the use of technology in the health system, different service areas have emerged and it has made it compulsory for nurses to innovate in the care they apply in order to be effective in solving health-related problems. Similar to the world, nursing practices in our country; Factors such as the increasing use of technology in the health system, innovations in information, the increase in the number of chronic patients, the symptoms caused by diseases and the elderly population [1,2]. Nurses have to follow current approaches in care and use them in practice in order to improve the quality of care they apply. For this purpose, it will contribute to the planning of nursing interventions aimed at increasing the time allocated to care, providing individualized care, ensuring the adaptation process to the disease, reducing the symptoms caused by the treatments and increasing the quality of life in health services provided by using virtual reality glasses in nursing practices [3-5].

Background: Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most common cause of congenital infections and can be life-threatening in immune compromised individuals. We aimed to shed light on the Seroprevalence of HCMV antibodies in women of child-bearing age in a tertiary care hospital and in a health science university of Bangladesh. Methods: A total of 84 apparently healthy 20-40 years old women (42 pregnant and 42 non-pregnant) were screened for anti-CMV IgG and IgM antibodies using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Serum levels of bilirubin, and liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase) were evaluated by biochemistry auto analyzers. Results: All the participants were found positive for anti-CMV IgG (100%) while 1 pregnant woman revealed positivity for both IgM and IgG justifying recent infection. CMV IgG antibody was found positive in 48 (68.6%) and 14 (100%) relatively younger volunteers in married (n=70) and unmarried (n=14) group respectively, and in 22 (31.4%) elderly volunteers of married group. Significantly higher mean value of Sample Optical Density (SOD) for CMV IgM was observed in pregnant than that of non-pregnant counterpart ( p =0.023; 95% CI=0.032-0.002). Again, the mean SOD of CMV IgG was significantly lower in non-pregnant women compared to that of the pregnant women in the employed group [ p =0.029; 95% CI=1.176-(-0.006)]. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that the women of child bearing age are very much exposed to CMV infection. Pregnancy and working outside (employment) are two important risk factors for repeated exposure to infection as indicated by higher measured Optical Density (OD) for CMV IgG. A comprehensive study with a long-term follow-up of offspring born to HCMV IgM-positive mothers would provide estimates of an accurate percentage of symptomatic congenital HCMV infection in Bangladesh.
背景:人巨细胞病毒(HCMV)是先天性感染最常见的原因，在免疫功能低下的个体中可能危及生命。我们的目的是阐明在孟加拉国一家三级保健医院和一所卫生科学大学的育龄妇女中HCMV抗体的血清流行率。方法:采用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)对84例表面健康的20 ~ 40岁女性(孕妇42例，非孕妇42例)进行抗巨细胞病毒IgG和IgM抗体检测。血清胆红素、肝酶(丙氨酸转氨酶、天冬氨酸转氨酶)水平用生化自动分析仪测定。结果:所有参与者抗巨细胞病毒IgG阳性(100%)，1名孕妇IgM和IgG均阳性，证明近期感染。已婚组(n=70)和未婚组(n=14)较年轻的志愿者分别有48例(68.6%)和14例(100%)CMV IgG抗体阳性，已婚组老年志愿者22例(31.4%)CMV IgG抗体阳性。妊娠组CMV IgM样品光密度(SOD)均值显著高于非妊娠组(p =0.023;95% CI = 0.032 - -0.002)。同样，非孕妇CMV IgG的平均SOD水平明显低于在职孕妇组[p =0.029;95% CI = 1.176(-0.006)]。结论:育龄妇女是巨细胞病毒感染的高危人群。怀孕和外出工作(就业)是重复暴露于感染的两个重要危险因素，CMV IgG的测量光密度(OD)较高。一项对HCMV igm阳性母亲所生后代进行长期随访的综合研究将提供孟加拉国有症状的先天性HCMV感染的准确百分比估计。

exclusive-Abstract Globally, breastfeeding and obesity have become paramount importance for mothers and infants. This aimed at reviewing the literature to explore the evidence that maternal obesity can have a negative impact on breastfeeding rates. A review of the literature (academic journals) was conducted between and the PRISMA 2009 and critical appraisal approach to critically evaluate the articles and reach an evidence statement. Concerning the research question of the study, twelve research articles were considered for review. The review found maternal obesity/overweight as independent variables (defined as Prepregnancy or postpartum Body Mass Index) and breastfeeding rate as the dependent outcome variable. The majority of the studies showed evidence of a negative impact of obesity on breastfeeding rates. Therefore, to understand breastfeeding behavior among obese women, researchers could consider conducting more empirical studies that use well-established theories, including the theory of reasoned action. This review may help clinicians recognize patients who are less likely to breastfeed and consider targeting early intervention.

The purpose of this study was to developmentally and psychometrically validate the cervical cancer prevention questionnaire (CPCC-16) based on Theory of Planned Behavior in Chilean women. The patient sample was 967 women. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate factor structure, Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency and t-test for criteria validity. The development and validation of the questionnaire resulted in six factors with 16 items, demonstrating a bi-factorial structure. Cronbach’s alpha was higher than 80 in the questionnaire and its factors. To generate a valid and reliable questionnaire that measures, under a theory of behavior, more than one preventive behavior in cervical cancer is an important advancement that fills a gap in nursing research.

Results: OME lesions were found in five of the 86 patients (5, 81%). One of these lesions was found in a woman without EM which is 4, 5% of the control group. In the group of women with EM, there were four patients with OME lesions which is 6, 3% of the cohort, so there was no statistically significant difference between these groups. Besides the OME lesions, there were immune cells found in the tissue of 12 women with EM (18, 8% of the EM cohort) but none in the control group. These findings did not correlate with the OME lesions.

In Pakistan, there is a ‘culture of silence’ around disability and Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) rights. SRH and rights of people living with disabilities remain unaddressed because of prevailing cultural norm and traditions that stigmatize sexuality of People Living with Disability (PWD) and prevent them from claiming their sexual rights and taking control of their reproductive lives. Furthermore, people with disabilities are unable to access quality and tailored SRHR information and services. The aim of this project was to build the capacity of People Living with Physical Disabilities (PWPD) on their Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). The project was also aimed at increasing awareness among the general public on the SRHR needs of PWPDs as they are generally considered asexual, hence not to SRHR information and services. Aahung capacity of the caregivers, and trainers who work with/for people living with disabilities and develop user-friendly resource material to aid them to teach people living with physical disability about their SRH needs and rights which is an innovation within itself. The approaches discussed here, however, apply broadly to all aspects of health programming for people with physical disabilities. Aahung envisioned transforming these trainers into advocates for SRH needs and rights of PWPDs in their respective workspaces and/or communities and integrate the newly-designed SRHR-related resource material into their activities.
