Abstract

Smoking represents an important and rapidly growing global cause of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity.Cigarrette smoking is one of the major modifiable risk factors of cardiovascular disease, unless smokers are able to quit,  approximately 40% of them will die prematurely.The need of the hour is timely intervention through smoking cessation.Our study was carried out in young smokers to demonstrate the effects of smoking on lipid profile and electrocardiographic changes. We aimed to study the effect of smoking on lipid profile and electrocardiographic changes in young smokers.The study design was a cross sectional study comprising 75 male smokers and 75 healthy controls.Smoking history and physical examination was done .Fasting sample was analysed for lipid profile and electrocardiograph of all subjects were recorded.The statistical anaylsis between mean values were evaluated by student‘t’ test. Statistical significance was assessed by chi-square test, p<0.001 was considered to be significant.The mean pulse rate,  the mean systolic blood pressure,  abnormal lipid profile and prolonged Qt interval were significantly higher in smokers (p<0.001).We demonstrated significant lipid abnormalities and electrocardiographic changes in young smokers who form an important risk group and target population in whom smoking cessation counseling should be carried out to decrease long term cardiovascular risk.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijphs.v2i1.1679

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world, including Indonesia. In South Kalimantan, an increasing incidence of tuberculosis up to the year 2010 which were taken using a smear-positive reached 3,237 cases, the largest was in Banjarmasin City which reached 642 cases and the detection rate still low, which is 52, 1%. To investigate the relationship among environmental risk factors of the house (residential density, the air temperature, humidity, ventilation, and natural lighting), smoking behavior and alcohol consumption among tuberculosis patients with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Banjarmasin City. This study was an analytic observational with case control study. The subjects were tuberculosis patients with smear-positive as a case group and smear-negative as a control group. Residential density, the air temperature, ventilation, natural lighting, smoking behavior and alcohol consumption significantly associated with the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Banjarmasin City. While the humidity was not significantly associated. The most dominant risk factors in the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis in Banjarmasin City were inappropriate of the air temperature in subjects with a history of household contact with tuberculosis patient, natural lighting, and house ventilation.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijphs.v2i1.1483

Abstract

The neonates are unique in several ways in comparison with older children and adults which render them highly susceptible to severe dermatological disorders. Skin diseases in infancy and childhood often-present patterns, which may diverge from the same diseases in adults. Infants can get a variety of skin diseases, and some are more common than others. Infants are particularly at risk for developing diaper dermatitis and its potential consequences. It is one of the most common skin problems in infants and children, affecting between 7 and 35 per cent of infants at some point. Diaper rash occurs most commonly in infants between ages nine and 12 months, but can occur at any time the child wears a diaper. The present study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on prevention and management of napkin dermatitis in infants’ on mothers residing at Rural Naini, Allahabad. The conceptual framework set up for the study is Conceptual framework based on modified general system theory (Bertalamffy & JW Kenny). The model which has four phases i.e. input, throughput, output and feedback, context, It provide comprehension, systematic and continuous ongoing frame work for program evaluation and hence helped the investigator to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on prevention and management of napkin dermatitis in infants and assess the level of knowledge gained by the mothers regarding prevention and management of napkin dermatitis in infants. In this study various literature was reviewed which includes, the research design selected for the study was pre experimental research design of one group pre-test post-test design. The independent variable was structured teaching programme and dependent variables were level of knowledge of mothers in pre-test and post-test.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijphs.v2i1.1334

Abstract

Tumors represent a challenge for the modern therapies, and divers studies have shown that different factors are involved in both tumorigenesis and processes of tumor development. Therefore, further investigations and descriptions of inter-influences and interactions between the nervous system, the tumoral process and pharmacotherapies might lead to novel advances and applications, not only in the therapeutical approaches but also in the experimental design.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijphs.v2i1.1831

Abstract

Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder. Epilepsy seizures are the result of the transient and unexpected electrical disturbance of the brain. About 50 million people worldwide have epilepsy, and nearly two out of every three new cases are discovered in developing countries. Epilepsy is more likely to occur in young children or people over the age of 65 years; however, it can occur at any age. The detection of epilepsy is possible by analyzing EEG signals. This paper, presents a hybrid technique to classification EEG signals for identification of epilepsy seizure. Proposed system is combination of multi-wavelet transform and artificial neural network. Approximate Entropy algorithm is enhanced (called as Improved Approximate Entropy: IApE) to measure irregularities present in the EEG signals. The proposed technique is implemented, tested and compared with existing method, based on performance indices such as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy parameters. EEG signals are classified as normal and epilepsy seizures with an accuracy of ~90%.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/ijphs.v2i1.1836
